Heisler Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 For those of you interested in getting an early start on the painting competition season come see us at Genghis Con. Feel the need for some classes? We can help you out. Genghis Con XXIX will be held February 14th-17th (Thur - Sun), 2008 at the Four Points Hotel at I-25 and Hampden, Denver Colorado Right now I have Marike Reimer lined up to be the painting guest of honor and my slave labor for the weekend. I expect to have classes from Lili Troy (you know 2 time slayer sword winner) and Doug Jones (he only has one slayer sword, but did win the Masters Class at Reaper Con last year) as well. There should be plenty of topics to take care of your needs, including a paint & take for those times when you just need to keep busy. There may be some minor rules changes in place for the competition but the categories are nailed down: Singles for Historical, Fantasy and Sci Fi/Modern Units for Historical, Fantasy and Sci Fi/Modern Machines of War Dioramas & Vignettes Juniors (under 16) Large Miniatures and Large Monsters And this year a special category just for Flames of War objective markers. So pick get moving on those competition pieces and come out to Denver for Genghis Con XXIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm surprised Kris hasn't bumped this since registration has been up for a couple of weeks now... http://www.denvergamers.com/sub/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmcl Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 When I registered I had trouble finding the cost for the classes. Turns out they are $7. That's not a bad deal for two hours with painters like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyreos Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 @ Flynn: I won't be able to make any of the classes which I'm horribly annoyed about, but I'll see if I can stop by for a few minutes if I can. The other wargames take huge amounts of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 When I registered I had trouble finding the cost for the classes. Turns out they are $7. That's not a bad deal for two hours with painters like this. I had the same problem. Note that the price for Doug Jones's all-day Saturday class was $14 when I received my registration confirmation. It's reasonable, but it wasn't advertised as that anywhere, which I find a bit annoying. Further, even though the classes say "No player limit" in the prereg book, there is clearly one in practice, as one of the classes I signed up for was noted as "Cannot register for 616.1 () because this event has already reached its reg limit of 5 players." Again, this isn't much of a surprise -- I know the room and the tables, and there was always going to be a limit. But prereg soon if you are going to sign up.

pae Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yeah, the 'no player limit' thing kinda scared me as well. I'm glad to hear that there is indeed a limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 We have a new programmer on the website and I'm beginnint suspect that some things got tweaked and information that used to show up is not longer showing up. I made sure that all the painting events had space limits and that the cost was indicated but that is obviously not showing up. And yes Doug's all day class spanning three sessions is indeed $14. But all of that information should have been appearing right up front. So I guess its off to bug a web designer. So in a nutshell, classes are $7 except for Doug's all day Saturday class which is $14. Competition registration is $2 per entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidedog Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Picked up a Con booklet at my FLGS and apparrantly I now have a couple of Golden Sophies. Woohoo! Who knew.... But thanks for trying to fill my class up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hehe...Yeah, and apparently I won best of show at Genghis last year even though I didn't even finish in the top three of the Masterclass category. And I think I'm credited with 2 more golden sophies than I actually have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey, what can I say, I was in a hurry and the mind is the first thing to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Are you holding open any spaces in the painting classes for on-site registration? (I know that this is done with game slots.) If so, maybe I can still get into that class of Marike's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 So, its been a while and I never answered Doug's question, but no I don't hold any spots open for the painting classes. Talk to me there and I'll see what I can do. I have had a couple of registration issues come up so the answer is maybe. But its 8 days to Genghis Con XXIX and thought one last reminder to get your entries finished is in order. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me. My classes for the convention are about 95% sold out at this point so that's looking good. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 No worries; I didn't think you were holding spaces but thought it worth the question. Depending on which table Marike's class is running on, I might just listen in from the next table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
