18 January 2010:
We have finalised our prize list.
First player wins a mint copy of Space Hulk!
We have also clarified which armies
are eligible for awards. In many cases, if the army has won an
award at a previous Arc, it cannot win again. See the
Prizes page for details.
17 January 2010:
One week to go!
We have adjusted the registered list
and reserve list - over 30 players failed to send lists, and a
few more have dropped out all together; the near-final player
list is now here:
Player list on WargamerAU
Please check, and if your details
are incorrect, let us know.
10 January 2010:
The army list deadline has passed.
Thanks to all who got your lists in on time. We'll be adjusting
the reserve list shortly so that players who did not submit a
list will fall to the bottom, and we will cancel any entries
without lists on Sunday 17 Jan. So, if you are running late, but
still want to play, get your list in this week.
6 January 2010:
We've been mission testing. And,
they rock! (Except for the one that sucked, but we rewrote that.
Note to aspiring mission designers: Never give a Blood Thirster
feel no pain.)
31 December 2009:
This may be our best ever year
for sponsorship. Thanks to THQ, we will have copies of
Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising to give away (the games will be
shipped to you on release date, in March), as well as copies
of the new Vigil Studios game
Darksiders for X360/PS3 (release date 7 Jan).
For some footage of the games in
action, check out the
Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising trailer and the
Darksiders trailer.
While we're talking sponsorship,
check out the fully revised Prizes page.
Wait until you see the sweet trophies that Stewarts Trophies has
cooked up!
30 December 2009:
Here's a sneak preview of the
brand spankin' Fez Skull dice - we're minting them in
mother-of-pearl/black and fire/black. You can load up on these
babies at a buck apiece, available in singles or in a snazzy
cube o' 12. You can reserve some now via your AON account - log
in and hit up the "Edit Merchandise" link on the left sidebar.
Those fine folks at Adepticon
have updated the
Independent National Warhammer 40,000 FAQ 3.1
- this is our default FAQ for rules and codex questions.
We have added a
list of terrain bringers over at WargamerAU - if you can
supply 6x4 of quality terrain, please contact us.
22 December 2009:
The first email bulletin has gone
out - if you did not receive it, you can read it
here.
Here's one of the news highlights:
Lightning Arc is a one-day
mini-tournament being held on Sunday 10 January at Games
Workshop's new Battle Bunker in Camberwell (752 Burke Rd, 2 mins
walk up the hill from Camberwell Station). Entry is free, with
24 places available. Players will play 3 games at 1200pts,
making it ideal practice for Arc 40K. Contact Dan at the store
for more details:
21 December 2009:
Back-2-Base-ix have confirmed that they will have a display
stand at Arc this year. Veterans will remember Aaron's visit in
2007. This year should be even cooler, as B2B are are expanding
to include markers and magnetic flight stands - check out
their
site! Here's a sample of the new coolness:
Come one, come all: We're keen to invite visitors
this year, so please spread the word. Entry is only $2, and
there will be tons of cool 40K stuff to check out. You can help
us even more by printing out
our poster and putting it up in your favourite game store.
8 December 2009:
The
list
of registered and reserve players is now updated for the
full 200 places.
2 December 2009:
Hang on to your hats: we're
taking this baby to 200 players! Updated player list will be
published shortly.
We have some army lists already,
which is great; however, to get full points for correct list,
you must email it to the correct address, remember to include
your theme summary within the spreadsheet, and rename the
default filename to your own details. Alas, if you miss any of
these details, you're down 5 points! See
Selection for more info.
And finally, check out page 108
in WD 360 (Dec) for a sneak peek at the new Fez army!
14 November 2009:
The list of registered and
reserve players is now online at
WargamerAU.
Thanks to Ghetti for his sterling work in maintaining this.
If you are not currently in the
150 reserved places, keep hoping and take heart:
1. We will add more tables if we can get space at the
venue
2. Many players always drop out before the day, some even
on the day
The
Selection page is now updated with a handy graphic to show
you the tab on the
Excel
spreadsheet to use for your Theme Summary. If you cannot see
any tabs, it may be a display issue; type "Where are my
worksheet tabs" into help.
The release date for Codex
Tyranids 2010 is now 16 January 2010, which
is closer to the convention than we had anticipated. Sorry, this
Codex will not be used at Arc this year.
