GenCon 2018 Events?

[Tornado]

Ah, good point.

Kinda bummed not to see any Planeswalker events. Oh well.

Looks like it is Bring 2 and Main Event for me this year!

[Tornado]

Have to bring some Planeswalker to Custom.

Several of these are tempting. Just wish I could get my demoing schedule put together already so I know what I can and can't attend...

As am I, as I'd like the chance to defend my crown. That said, the planeswalkers event was poorly attended last year, so this was expected.

Looks like Ob Nixilis will go down as the last, best planeswalker.

16 player, 4 round swiss tourney. Players bring 3 150 to 170 point armies (7 hex limit, uniques used in one army cannot be used in another). Players draft the armies in a 1-2-1-1-1 format. Prizes awarded.

3pm
General Wars - Alliance
Bring a 18 hex 480pt army. All of your army must be from 1 of the following alliances: Jandar+Aquilla, Utgar+Valkrill, or Einar+Ullar+Vydar. No more than 300 points from 1 general. You will be matched against a similar alliance in the first rounds if possible. (Jandar&Aquilla players will first battle against other Jandar&Aquilla players, etc...) Prizes awarded.

Sunday
9am
Team Up - Uniques Only
4-round. 800 point army (18 hex, no Marvel, no uncommons), using only unique figures (squads and/or heroes). Each player must control within 4 hexes & 200 points of their teammate. Each player must buy a ticket (2 per team). 16 team slots (32 players)

To be clear, these 3 events specify hex limit instead of figure limit? (All other events specify figure limit) Just wanted to make sure that was correct & not a typo.

I don't feel like we can determine that until you and the winner of the *previous* year can go at it!

Sounds like a challenge for Custom Play.

Am I missing something? Sunday Event ticketing begins and I do not see these events available.

GenCon is taking a while in officially hosting them. You will not be able to sign up for them Sunday; rather, you can sign up for them once GenCon officially posts them. They were posted here already simply to allow people to figure out what other events they'll want to do (or, in my case, start figuring out the top 10+ builds for each event and prepare for summer play testing ).

Just like last year, I applaud the organizers at creating a wide variety of events that appeals to lots of different players. Only one event has me sad at its time slot (cluster), but it's a nice consolation if whatever weird set of figures I bring for main doesn't make day 2, so that's not all that bad. Looking forward to it.

~Dysole, who may need to borrow some C3G figures. She might have some ideas.

Dark Judges!
