Thanks Frans! I checked 40k.se and they seem to be very active, really good news.frans wrote:LINcon is our large mainstream tournament, Gothcon is actually in Gothenburg. We are hosting a more "grownup" tournament in januari called DEFcon. We are using a venue with pub, so after each day gaming people are having a beer and meeting new friends.Seb wrote: Actually I was a little bit worried before I started playing 40k again that if I ever go back to Sweden, I wondered will there be anyone who still plays 40k. Looking around on the internet I got the impression that 40k was kinda getting less popular. But that is good news Frans, I am happy that 40k is gaining more ground in our country. Where in Sweden are you from? I am from Helsingborg in Skåne, do you think there is a big 40k community over there? *edit - I can now see in your profile that you are from Linköping, nice cityAnd as for 40k tournaments there is LinCon and GothCon right? .
A few years ago the only tournament within 1h drive was LINcon once a year. Now we are arranging 2 large, ~5 small(16 players), 4 large in close cities. I am not completely sure how much smaller tournament there is in Skåne, but there is a few larger.
