How do I register for the Warmachine events at Origins? I went to the Origins site and see where to register for a badge, but I'm not sure if I need to buy any tokens or ribbons to play in the events. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just want to follow up on the casual play event. Do we bring our own armies, or will there be minis available to use? Is it a come and go as you please sort of thing, or are we committed to the whole day? I'm a Warmachine noob, so I'm not quite sure how this works.

Thanks,

J

Another Achievement Tourny, that was fun (this is Marty Connell, BTW)
And maybe I'll be ready by then to tackle other events. My son will be with me next year and he'll play.
