As usual, Brickvention has both public and demonstration BrikWars events on the program, with prizes this year provided by Aussie Custom Decals, the official distributor of BrickArms in Australia.

The battle itself is the usual chaotic explosion-packed romp. Although sadly lacking in the obligatory catclysmic world-destroying fireball at the end, the event bodes well for similar exhibitions in the future. Meanwhile, Moron Studios are back again - this time with a new memeber, Oppo. His inaugral Vikings vs. Skeletons battle, "Almost Agro Arena," saw more intensive use of the Medik than any battle report to date, including a botched operation towards the end with impressive results.
