It has been a hundred years since greedy, scheming priests almost unmade the world. A hundred years since great heroes, led by Sobek-i-thump the Slaughterer, brought harmony to the elements and broke the power of a corrupt, self-serving priesthood. A hundred years since the Children of the Gods set foot on the sands of Canah.

But now the city-states and tribes of Aegyptus, Olympus and Hyperboria once again dispatch expeditions to distant Canah. This time there is no foolish talk of ancient elementals or shards of arcane power. This time power will be gained the traditional way – land, water, gold, and the blood of the Settlers of Canah.

This is a two day, 6 game, WarGods tournament on Sat 25 – Sun 26 Jan 2014.

Tournament registration is now open on the CGS website http://cgs.asn.au/index.php/cancon.

This is currently my "I'm coming" placeholder for when cancon 2014 gets the go ahead.

So for 2000 points I need to get seriously painting and doing serious maths!! What to take that is the problem!

---------------
There is no spoon - just sporks

Maybe I should get painting then....

I'm in. No other games, no AFL, no distractions. (But quite a bit of painting.)

And no apologies, excuses or get-out clauses (bar a large family of Lebanese in-laws with a regrettable propensity for January weddings, births or christenings.)

And no idea what army I'm bringing (at least until after MOAB, as I'm hoping the impossible happens and my old armies turns up at the Bring & Buy).

Online entry is up on the CGS website.

I really need to get painting (maybe I should decide what to take first :-P)

I was tossing up between new toys and stuff I already have... Prob best to go with what I have just in case

---------------
There is no spoon - just sporks

I have just booked accommodation for Barry and myself. So unless anything intrudes (like a very sick cat) we will be there

Oh, and I intend to run Bendis (epithet pending), demidgodess of Artemis and warlord of the Amazons (if I can get the army painted up in time)

Could you please post a link to the website?

I'm trying to register, but I keep getting "This service is unavailable" every time I've attempted to log in over the past 48 hours.

And as for warband of choice: if Sobek shines on me I'll be able to buy back my old Sebeki and/ or Typhon at the MOAB Bring and Buy in October (which I so foolishly sold there last year) and run either (preferably the stompers of swamps). Failing that, I'll need an force which I can paint in about 10 weeks flat & play reasonably - meaning: so as to not totally embarrass myself (I can handle being semi-embarrassing) - without having an actual practice game beforehand.

which website? I booked at Breakfree towers Canberra.

I had the same problem as you with the CSG site

I just successfully registered at http://cgs.asn.au/index.php/cancon , so we are now officially 12.5% of our quota to run the event .

It appears that there is no register now/ pay on the day option, so it's down to Paypal, credit/ debit card or prayer in terms of paying the $50.

My brother lives around a 10 minute drive from the venue, so my accommodation is pretty much Set.

we're 25% towards quota now

Still debating whether to paint up another 750 points of Basti (to field 2k of pure Basti), or paint up something else...

Much as I would like to go, I've got no monies of late so i'm likely not gonna be there.

for those of us who prefer not to fight in the shade - something else might be nice ;)

I don't have 750 points of Basti archers to paint, so you shouldn't be too worried about that

You're lucky.

Unfortunately I've already sold the Typhon to a friend but I still have the sebeki.

I'm going to be at the bring and buy when it opens. If you like I will bring your Sebeki along and you can buy it back for $50.

Painted 22 sebeki warriors 2 beloveds 5 sebeki heros/champions 2 charioteers 1 harbinger 1 Asar priest of Sobek 1 Bes

Unpainted 2 chariots w.out draft animals 3 giant tortieses

Ah Barry, you are truly a champion. If you weren't married & straight & I wasn't married and straight I'd kiss you on both cheeks right now.

I will certainly be there when it opens for a while, before heading off to the airport & collecting my son from his trip to Japan.

Well, that's my birthday prezzie sorted, and I'll be staying true to my avatar at CanCon to boot!

(And apologies to all for this dose of delirium for the delirium, but this is so amazingly amazing that I am utterly amazed right now!)
