Orks Invade the Imperium – Planetstrike Battle on Saturday, February 20th

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Waaagh!!! Defftoof has its sights set squarely on the Planet  of Carentan 6 and the only defenders currently standing in its way are a contingent of Space Marines of the Crimson Lions Chapter, currently detailed to the Chapter’s Fortress of Redemption on Carentan 6, and some  Imperial Guardsmen from the Carpathian Rangers, who had arrived scant weeks before the Ork invaders.  The host of the Mechanicum Engiseers in conjunction with the Techmarines of the Crimson Lions have had barely enough time to erect and strengthen the Aegis Defensive Lines and pre-fabricated Plasteel Bastions before the Ork Invasion begins.  A call for re-inforcements has gone out and there has been rumors that a Crusade of the Black Templars Chapter is on its way, but will they be in time?

The onslaught starts this Saturday morning at 10 and will last for several hours.  There will be spots for between 2-6 players in the game, some of which have been filled, but there is probably room for a couple of folks yet. If you are interested in just seeing the game or in playing please stop on by and say hi.  Even if the game fills up I am sure if you cannot get into this game there are sure to be other players looking to game.  If there is enough interest I am sure we will be giving this another try in the not to distant future.

January 40K Tournament Update

Space Marines Dominate 40K Tournament

You have to ask who invited the Space Marines to the party.  Fun was had by all but it was clear that the Space Marine players over shadowed the other factions during our 40K tournament on Saturday, January 30th.  Six of the twelve competitors played Marines and they took first in the standings.  Brandon won the tournament playing his White Scars, Josh took second place with his Eldar army (he left his Marines at home for the day) and the random drawing was won by Nick who also happens to play Marines.

So I guess its time for those players who love those other armies to figure out how to put these Marine players in their place.  Or we could just not invite them to the next party.  Other armies making an apperance were Witch Hunters, Chaos and Imperial Guard.

Anyone interested in playing 40K or finding out more about the hobby should stop in on Tuesday night – alot of the guys in the tournament play on Tuesdays and are always looking for new players to add to the group.

Don’t forget the new Tyranid Army is out and could be the new tough guy on the block.  Stop in and check out the new models.

Warhammer 40k Tournament

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Hello All!

This is Brandon here and I wanted to let you all know that there is a Warhammer 40k tournament coming up on January 30th.  It is going to be a 4 round event, fought on a 4′ by 4′ table at 1250 points.  Painting is not required, but is always encouraged. The tournament will be using missions out of the Warhammer 40k rule book with slight variations to make it interesting.  There will be plenty of  prizes even if you manage not to win.  Prizes just for showing up…. Hmmm its quite a possibility!

If you have any more questions about the official rules, please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you promptly.

The cost is going to be $10 a head so be sure you sign up right away… seats will fill up quickly!!!  The event is going to be sadly limited to the first 12 playing participants due to space restrictions.

We all hope to see you there!

Regards

–Brandon
