Subject: Nova Open 2013 charity raffle on now, great Necron, Dark Angel and Khador armies as prizes!
As many of you know, the NovaOpen runs a charitable foundation in addition to their events. http://novaopenfoundation.org/
As part of that initiative, every year they raffle off several armies for a good cause, and this year, there are some really beautiful forces up for grabs!
Raffle tickets are a dollar each to a minimum of 10, please help support these worthy charities and also take a pop at winning one of these beautiful armies! You do not need to attend the NOVA at all to participate, and 0% of the funds have anything to do with the NOVA Open. http://novaopenfoundation.org/?tcp_product_category=raffle
Butcher1 Juggernaut Juggernaut Kodiak War Dog Man-o-War Shocktroopers Unit (Min) Man-o-War Demolition Corp Unit (Min) Manhunter Solo (x2) Yuri the Axe
TACTICS:
This adheres to one of the “Theme Lists” that Privateer does. Because of this, the Shocktroopers are 1 pt cheaper, and both Man-O-War units get +2 inches of speed on the first turn. In addition, the three warjacks Advanced Deploy (they deploy after the bulk of the opponent’s forces), and the solos (War Dog, Manhunters and Yuri) re-deploy, so they get to change position just before the game starts. In short, the army bypasses most of the deployment stage, letting you dictate the matchups. The faction’s greatest weakness is it’s speed, but this is heavily mitigated by the extra 6″ the Warjacks get, and the extra 2″ the Man-o-War get on the first turn. It’s a very brutal list, and lots of fun to play because it’s fast, high armored, and deadly in melee, but has zero guns! The army also comes with Sorscha1, and the two Juggernauts have their weapons magnetized, and you can swap one of them over to a Destroyer, giving you the standard Starter Box.

Really appreciate the post; I don't run the Foundation or sit on the board, but I work with them and support it ... really appreciate the support from Dakka.
Also, just in case it wasn't clear, you do not need to attend the NOVA at all to participate, and 0% of the funds have anything to do with the NOVA Open.

Talked w/ the NOCF board members - Dakka hits were substantial this week, and the raffles shot well over 2,000 tickets sold off this week's major pushes from Dakka, Secret Weapon, NATFKA, Tabletop News, and more. Greatly appreciated!
