Space Wolves
The guy has put together some really good articles and has also written some pretty detailed battle reports - all in all 10/10 - good job!!
On a different tack, currently writing some 500pt Ork lists to try out at our local gaming club which is having a Doubles Tournament in 2 weeks time.
The club is run by a committee of which I am a founding member along with "Ladyboy", also involved from the start are a number of hardened GW gamers who all pulled together to found and run:
Who are we you ask…..? We, my intrigued web surfer are the mighty Legion.
“So you want to know how we got to be a Mighty Legion with countless victories and spoils, with warriors that have flocked to our banner do you? Well take a seat young squire, warm your cockles by the open fire, grab yourself a stein of Bugman’s finest XXX draft and prepare for a small jog down that ever so cloudy…. Memory lane……”
It all started with the collapse of another not so mighty war band, a rowdy bunch of “football” playing jessies that neglected the mouths of their warriors, who soon became fed up of going without. As many a folklore has scripted in the past, “A phoenix will always rise from the ashes” (Homer J. Simpson) and this was the case.
Two of us met up one fateful day in the local haunt and discussed the viability of creating a newer and “better” gaming club that would suit the needs of all, not just some. We decided that we had the potential to create such a thing and explored many avenues to see exactly how we could go about this task.
A few weeks later and with the enlistment of a few more fresh faced raw recruits we had a full committee that was ready to rock and roll. We designed the club badge and logo over a bowl of spaghetti bolognaise and then negotiated a safe and viable location for the meetings to be held, situated and located in the centre of the town.
So with this we decided what we wanted, committed a budget and went to town making boards and scenery for people to play with. Considering that we had never done this before, we felt that we would have extreme difficulty and wondered if our imagination would allow us to stretch the boundaries of war gaming terrain and create pieces of table top scenery for our member’s use that actually looked as if they belonged.
After many months of hard work, graft and coffee we managed to get through it and we created some stunning pieces and were ready for the big opening.
The opening night went down a blast with a free raffle and prize draw, if memory serves me correct we had about 30 people there that night and if you ask me and any of the other committee you will know how proud we felt that we had actually managed to achieve what at the start seemed such a monumental task.
If you asked any of us to do it again, I am pretty sure you would get the same answer and that we would tell you to shove it where the sun don’t shine, no seriously we would be more than happy to go at it again. I believe it is the determination to succeed and provide that saw this small project turned into something so well established.
We have had some amazing fun and made friends from all corners of society and I personally would not change a thing. For any of you reading this now if you ever choose to embark on a large project, please, please, please never let your head go down, for as long as you have an idea and are committed enough to achieve your goal you will get there. I know this because we The Legion are functioning proof of this fact.
But it does not end there, we still have ideas and after many a “sherbet” and a well earned break we now look forwards to the next step in this clubs future and welcome the spoils of war that the forthcoming year brings.
So it is with that, I go, and hopefully you will join the ranks of our growing horde and we hope to see you there soon.
