Neoncon 2011 March to Immortality After Action Report!

[bj]

Wow! Just WOW! The response for the tournament was awesome! We got our 24 players, so KUDOS to everyone that showed up, some had even bought an army that day to play in the tournament or just started playing that night because they were impressed with the game after receiving a demo that day!

Before we innundate you with photos (they're uploading as I type) here is MtI Vegas by the numbers:

24 players:

Outcasts (6)
Generic Skarrd (5)
Ice Caste (4)
Air Caste (3)
Toxic Cult (1)
Brood (2)
St John (2)
St Mary (1)

So looking at just the factionS:

Dragyri (7)
Outcast (6)
Skarrd (6)
Forsaken (3)
Brood (2)

So far it looks like the spread on the factions is leaning towards Outcasts, Dragyri, and the Skarrd.

Interesting numbers for the rest of tournaments run at Neoncon (keep in mind these are events run at seperate times):
40k tournament: 12 players
Warmachine tournamnt: 16 players

Just had to throw those numbers out there

Great looking event.

Awesome looking terrain/board and everyone was smiling in every picture.

Glad to see your hard work pay off, Congrats!

In all the excitement I would like to point out that Kanon B. is the very first qualifier that we are going to send to Gencon 2012, that's right baby! VEGAS REPRESENT!!! Of course our Second and Third place winners have received their official invite to the Immortal Tournament if they can make it next year, who knows maybe next MtI they will win?
