From August 19-22 I was in Vancouver, BC to attend Astronomi-con Vancouver 2011. There were several clubs or crews in attendance, each with 2-6 players. I remember seeing crews from Calgary, Kelowna, Vancouver and Washington.
The event was awesome! A big "Thank You" goes to Christian and Keith for running a tight event, to all my opponents for a series of fun, close games (2 wins, 1 loss and 3 ties), and thanks to everyone else I met and talked to throughout the weekend.
I ran another variation of my Eldar Swordwind (pictured above):

War Prayer - Night Spinner artillery tank

Thanks, Curt!
There were a lot of great looking armies. Almost no "net lists", either. For example, the Eldar players all had fairly different lists.
