GuardCon 2017 - Report

Wargaming was at the fore this past weekend in Auckland. GuardCon hosted a massive gathering of Hobbyists at the Auckland Bridge Club. It was fantastic to see the resurgence in Warhammer in record numbers and I for one look forward to seeing more players joining the community. Thanks to our local friendly club AGC, backed by supportive sponsors, the tournaments saw everyone getting a prize.

The Atmosphere was electric, friendly and fun. If you ever want to come to a convention, GuardCon is definitely about meeting people who are like minded, playing the games that you enjoy. I've always gone to tournaments to share my hobby and to get inspiration for my future projects. What better way is there to grow your hobby by helping the community and showing off the games you play. Gone are the days of exclusivity and Conventions are all welcoming and look forward to boosting you into the games you enjoy. If you have any questions, bring them along.

GuardCon hosted, Warhammer 40k doubles, The 9th Age: Fantasy Battle, Age of Sigmar, X-Wing and Board Gaming. Thank you to all the Attendees, Sponsors, Fellow Organisers and the community for making another massive convention a success.

Here follows the results and also some photos of the event. I'll try to get a photo dump in on a following post. If you have any photo's that you want to share, please get in touch.
