This year we aim to bring you the best spread of war-games ever. Not only will be running Warhammer and 40k tournaments of the highest standards, but we’ll also see the return of the Emerald Dragon and have a range of side events to titillate even the casual gamer.


The Emerald Dragon: (entries taken all day Saturday, judging on Sunday).

After a few years absence the Emerald Dragon returns to WARPCON. This painting competition is open to everyone. Any model or Diorama from any game/scale can be entered. (while upmost care will be taken WARPCON cannot take responsibility for the damage/loss or any entries).

Jervis Johnson Q&A Session:

Want to know what Games Workshop has up it’s sleeve for the next few months, or just want to know why Jervis can’t win games in White Dwarf? We’ll have a dedicated Q&A session with the man himself to answer all your queries.



Warhammer 40k (Saturday and Sunday)

No allies except those mentioned in the main codex (e.g. A Witch Hunters and Daemonhunters can take allies, but other armies can't take them as allies)

Forge World and Apocalypse lists/units are not allowed.

5 for Roster
10 for knowledge.
After 3 games the top eight players will qualify for Sunday.

Sunday: Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Finals will be played.

Note: All armies MUST be fully painted with at least 3 colour (I'm looking at you Necron players).

Tables will be assigned special rules, so bring a list that can handle some unusual circumstances.




40k Apocalypse: A Red Dawn (Sunday)

A massive table totaling 144 square feet will play host to one the largest games of 40k ever played in Ireland.




Warhammer Seige! (Saturday)

The cities of kislev are under constant threat of Chaos attack, and this year is no different as mauruding chaos hordes smash themselves against the gates of Shatsk.
Either play with the armies provided or bring your own army to the battle.

Blood bowl 7's (Sunday)
Will be run all day Sunday, details to be confirmed.

Showcase Games: (All Weekend)
To show off some of the lesser spotted (and in my opinion the best) of games workshop games we will be running specialist games all weekend.
With demos, participation games and challenge matches their will be something for everyone.

Battle Fleet Gothic
Fleets of giant spaceships do battle in the cold dark of space.


Epic: Armageddon
You thought Appocalypse was big? It has nothing on epic, thousands of infantry do battle with hulking war machines and massive titans.



Participation events: (All Weekend)
All these events will be run all weekend (from Friday night until 4pm Sunday).
They are designed to be played in 20mins-1 hour, so everyone can have a go in between games.



Speed Painting Challenge (20mins).

For 1 euro entry to take a random model and have 20 minutes to make it look great.
On Sunday the entrant will be judged with the “Hammer of Judgement” by none other than Jervis Johnson.
(WARNING: don't get too attached to your masterwork, it may end up “Judged” into little pieces).



Warbuggy Races (approx 30 mins)
Wacky Races meets Formula One, in fast paced Orky racing game.
