Hey!

I don't know if you guys have heard about it, or are indeed interested, but Games Workshop's 'Winter Crusade' is starting... well, pretty much now! I'm going to man up and take part; I'll be going down on Saturday 6th, with the day's main event in mind!

''Slave Raid: 500pt mini campaign
The Forces of Evil - must capture as many slaves as possible, while the Forces of the Alliance of the Imperium must prevent slaves from being captured. The Winner for both forces of Evil (most points of slaves taken) and Forces of the Alliance of the Imperium (least points of slaves taken) win a 'Slave for a day'. Win a staff members services to dedicate a day to modeling and painting their models.''

So, there we go. To go with it, I've opted to indulge in a little madness. I'm planning to Buy, Prep, Build and Paint up 500 Points of a new army in 10 Days. I'm going with Ultramarines, with the Movie in mind.

And that's it! Expect pictures shortly.

Regards,

Martin

will look into! i haven't heard of this slave raid thing before?

You won't have; it's just the Scenario that they thought up for the Winter Campaign.

ROFL

The logistics of this must have been thought out by masterminds... Each GW hobby center only has a single staff member. They can't give up their job duties to be slave to a campaign winner. So in reality, if you win... You get nothing!

Um, what do you mean, they only have a single staff member? No, they don't. GW have around 3 or 4 in, usually.
