Went on Saturday and Sunday, caught up with old friends and spent more than I wanted at various traders and the bring n buy. Picked up plenty of Team Yankee bargains from Games Cube, great to see Olympian Games stocking the Legio Heroica range.
Good to see ancients pulling a solid turnout, albeit spread over four gaming systems.
Couldn't find the FoW games, if there were any. V4 really killed that scene in its tracks, at least in Sydney. Really disappointed at that, given that I was getting up to 50 plus players back in the V2 and 3 days.
Surprised at the strong turnout for Star Wars Legion, and surprised that there wasn't any 40k Kill Team events – though a large turnout for 40k overall.
I'll happily chalk 2019 up as a success as a punter. Best moment was my 7 year old son, who is desperate to paint minis, enjoying the painting tables. That, and his question after spending some time watching 40k games "but Daddy, where are the good guys??". Tried to explain agai
that Grimdark doesn't really have good guys, his response being "then why play it?"
May be able to dodge that bullet after all, but tbh I'd rather play 40k with him over SW Legion (too many counters, makes for messy tables).
