This was a grudge match set up by the managers of our respective local GW stores, and saw me having to stare down the largest miniature in attendance: the Dread Saurian. Some cool Sylvaneth-y looking conversionsĪnother really lovely looking Death army: yeah, that's Nagash! I managed to snap a few photos before Round 1 was underway.Ĭhaos versus Death: Yes, they are all legit GW Blood Knights! Wile I was only running a pure Ironjawz army, pretty much every Grand Alliance and faction was represented somewhere. The AoS event was hosted by the guys from the Heralds of War podcast, and the first thing I noticed was the wide range of armies that had shown up. It's a hell of a weekend and I'd encourage any readers who have never made the trip to do so: there's nothing else like it that I've ever been to. Along with the miniature games we all love, Cancon hosts card games, board games, a cosplay competition, a second-hand sale room, and a host of trading stalls belonging to retailers and manufacturers alike. This is a great venue, with enough space to host simultaneous tournaments of multiple wargames, such as AoS, Warhammer 9th Age, Infinity, two 40k events, Flames of War, Bolt Action, Warmahordes, Wings of War, Kings of War, Epic, a bunch of historicals I didn't recognise and I'm sure there are some I missed.

Clearly beaming with his hunger for competition, he was even mistaken for an AFL footballer in Wangaratta.Ĭancon's held at Exhibiton Park In Canberra (EPIC). Accompanying me on my journey was long time gaming comrade Brenton Shaw. As always, half the fun of Cancon is the road trip.
