The Craftworld Open At UCON: Results

What a good weekend.  The Firestorm Event on Friday did not have the number of players I hoped for, but
it was a good Start.  We had 4 players and George Gasser took home our top prize for the Brawl In The Shoal Zone event.  Enjoy your new fleet sir!

Saturday was a day filled with being lazy, Firestorm Armada games and final preparation and set up for the Craftworld open on Sunday.  I want to give a special thanks once again to the guys at the Michigan GT for letting us use the Terrain from the GT.  Check out the website and reserve October 11th and 12th on your calenders next year.  The GT is back and will be bigger and better.

I also have dates for next years Craftworld open. UCON will return to the Marriott on Eaglecrest next year November 14th, 15th and 16th.  The Craftworld Open will be on November 15th next year.  The open is going to be bigger and better next year.
We have big plans and thanks to a move to Saturday we will not be Crunched for time.



We had well over $700 in prizes this year including free bits courtesy of Paulson Games for all the participants.  I will be doing a battle report and review of his latest creation Mecha Front next week.  Well I know you are anxious to know who took the top honors at the 2nd annual Craftworld Open.  So without further adieu, this years winners.

1st.  Ben Marouski (Necrons and Chaos)
2nd.  Aaron Simone  (Chaos Daemons)
3rd.  Jeff Crawley  (Eldar)

Players Choice Best Painted:  Vytau Malesh

Congratulations to this years winners.  I appreciate everybody for coming and playing.  The support is very welcome.  I hope that we have all your support next year and we can make this a bigger and very regular yearly event.

I want to thank our sponsors, whose links are on the blog sidebar there, BC Comics, Evolution Games, AFK Games, Paulson Games and Pandimonium for their generous donations for this years prizes.

Now I have to start preparing for Adepticon.  I have a GT list and a Combat Patrol list to come up with.  I have a very oddball list in development for the GT and I am keeping it under wraps for now.  Things could shift Drastically in the next few months as we get Codexes coming out.



I will post more pictures in a dedicated Picture post Wednesday.  I will also be finishing my series about
breaking the meta.  The third Installment will be covering the use of psychic powers in the Eldar army.  Mainly how to use them in conjunction with the other elements of your army to get maximum effectiveness out of them.





Until then......

UCON At Ground Zero

Seerk here. I am coming to you semi live from Ypsilanti Michigan. I am at the Marriott on Eaglecrest, home of UCON. Somehow I managed to get a room on the 8th floor. Its the fancy level. You need a roomkey for the 8th floor to even get to the 8th floor.  Apparently my super Seer power is to be a con baller on a shoestring budget.

Well the Craftworld Open is Sunday. We have more space and way better terrain this year thanks to the fellas over at the Michigan GT.  As I post this i am finishing up the mission packs.

Registration for the convention opens at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. I want dice rolling at 11 a.m.  I will post some pictures of our prizes this year once I have it all in one spot. Players will be treated to a nice sample of bits from Paulson Games for just entering. 

Well i have work to do and a Firestorm Armada event to run at 6. See you all Sunday.

Until then

Prepare Yourselves, UCON Is Upon Us!

SeerK here.  Ok Boys and girls its that time of year again. Once again the Craftworld Lansing team will be bringing you

the Craftworld Open at UCON. This is now officially an annual event. It will be a 3 round 1850 RT style tournament at UCON which is in the beautiful Marriott on Eaglecrest in Ypsilanti Michigan.

But wait theres more! This year I am expanding the War games Coverage. Friday night from 6pm to 10pm I will be running demonstrations and playing Games of Firestorm Armada. Saturday I will be Running Flames Of War from 2pm to 6pm. PG_Hick will also be running an event Saturday. Warmachine and Hordes Players rejoice. We have a Tournament going 10 am to 7pm

Sunday we will be rounding out the weekend with The 2^nd annual Craftworld Open. Dice roll at 10am so I suggest heading over to the UCON website and pre registering for the events. UCON has a lot more to offer if you are a dedicated gamer. RPGs, Boardgames and much more. SO why not come down for the whole weekend.

Pre-registration is now open at UCON's website. Day badges are $10.00 for Friday and Sunday and $15.00 for Saturday. A weekend Badge for all 3 days is only $20.00. A badge is required for participation. The ticket for the Craftworld open is an additional $6.00. The tickets for Flames of War and Firestorm Armada are $3.00 in addition to the badge. Nick Huston my main man on the inside will be running Xwing that weekend as well. The Warmachine Hardcore on Saturday being run by PG_Hick is $6.00.

SO preregister. There are 30 spots for the Craftworld Open and 40 spots for the Hardcore. Preregistering not only reserves your spot, but gives us ammo to get more space if we exceed our allocated amount.

I will be announcing missions and any FAQ decisions over the Next Month. I will say one thing. This year I am requiring painted models for the Tournament. All models must be to a 3 color standard and WYSIWYG. I want to raise the bar across the board this year. Literally and figuratively.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or Tweet me on Twitter. I look forward to seeing you all at the convention.

Until Next time.....
