Games Day Austrailia

Yesterday, Games Workshop gave us the location of this years Games Day Australia which will be held on October the 1st at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney. Also some Pics that really make the site very interesting indeed.

I am curious of anyone knows the spot and has comments on it. I wish I was going, however my vacation this year is already taken, every 3 years I take a road trip somewhere, and this year its a trip to Edmonton, Alberta through B.C.


From GW:

Rob: This month I was lucky enough to visit Australia and head round a few stores taking pictures for What's New Today (Dan will be showing plenty of these later in the month). While I was there, Matt Weaver kindly took me for a look around their new Games Day site and wow, what a place it is. Games Day Australia will be held on October the 1st at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney. The Technology Park used to be an old locomotive factory, which makes it the perfect venue for a Games Day. We had a brief chat with the people who own the place and I get the feeling that they don't quite know what will hit them when thousands of hobbyists turn up and take the place by storm. If you're in Australia or happen to be visiting at the time then this is one event not to be missed.


The entrance to the venue is full of old machinery and it really does have the feel of the Adeptus Mechanicus about it, if you do go just make sure you don't get too distracted on the way in. The guys are hard at work planning some fantastic displays and activities including Golden Demon, Armies on Parade and the 2011 MOAB Tournament.

There are also loads of old cranes and trains dotted around outside, the perfect inspiration for your next 40K gaming board. Tickets went on sale last night.
