Cossak, I looked at your pics from Astronomi-con Dallas and all I can say is that I wish that I'd been there! Wow! Your orks look great (as do most of the armies you fought against)! I especially liked the grot cannon crew!
If it happens in Dallas again next year I am DEFINITELY driving there!
I wish I was going to BoLSCon which is happening in my own back yard... unfortunately, I'll be out of town...
Cheers...

I just don't get why they called it a tournament, but that's just me. Originally Posted by Cossack

I'd say that it is clearly a tournament. It has a different ruleset than Steamroller or 'Ard Boyz, but it is still a tournament. Originally Posted by DarkLink

When I think of a convention I think of a big hall with lots of tables with merchandise on them, authors signing stuff, and lectures or workshops on this topic or that in conference rooms hither and yon.

Oh, yeah, there was definitely a tournament there. A tournament, by definition, is "One or more competitions held at a single venue and concentrated into a relatively short time interval", as defined by wikipedia.
The overall event, however, was much more than just a tournament. Large sections of the event were dedicated to not-tournament stuff, like painting and things like that.
Thus, convention is a more appropriate term, really.I am the Hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor. I am the tip of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist. I am the woes of daemonkind. I am the Hammer.

There are a LOT of tournaments with painted only, plenty of which are pretty competitive ...
