This week's theme on the Invasion website has been prizes for the charity raffle. As you can see from the announcements, the charity raffle has a lot of support this year. The best part is that we have not even come close to announcing all of the prizes that have been donated. Without a doubt, this will be the biggest Daisy May Charity Raffle to date!

http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/04/daisy-may-memorial-charity-2011-raffle_9458.html
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/04/daisy-may-memorial-charity-2011-raffle.html

http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/04/daisy-may-memorial-charity-2011-raffle_21.html

April 30th is the last day to register and be eligible for the early registration raffle that will be held for each tournament. This year's early registration raffles feature some very cool stuff from Forgeworld/Warhammer Forge. If you want to be eligible for a tournament's early registration raffle, you must be fully registered by 11:59 PM CST on April 30th. After April 30th, folks can still register on the site for any of the tournaments, they just wont be eligible for the raffle.

With regards to making sure to register sooner than later, the first 24 folks who are fully registered for the WFB tournament will be receiving one random model from Center Stage Miniatures. Since receiving the models I have been thinking up different ways in which they can be used as some cool alternative models for WFB armies.

Speaking of prizes, next week's theme on the site will be prizes for the Warhammer Fantasy tournament. Each day we will announce another prize associated with the awards given out as part of the tournament. Remember, this year's story is the second chapter in 'Old Magic', so expect to see prizes related to the story.

Finally, Thursday is the Invasion Kenosha Social Gathering at Outpost Games. This is a chance for everyone to gather and try out a couple of the primer missions for all of the tournaments. It is also your chance to win a prize if you are fully registered on or before the raffle at 7 pm. Further details can be found on the site.

Just when you thought it was safe to call the week over, more prizes for the charity raffle have arrived. Huge thanks to Cavalcade Wargames for donating some awesome figures from their ShadowSea/Dragonblood range of models.

http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/04/daisy-may-memorial-charity-2011-raffle_22.html

We have reached the end of April and there is just over 24 hours left before early registration closes. Don't forget, if you want to be included in the early registration raffles for each tournament, you must be full registered by tomorrow, April 30th at 11:59 pm. After that time, you can still register online, you will just not be included in the early registration raffle.

If you missed this week's theme, it was prizes for the WFB tournament. Here is a quick recap of what has been announced so far.

The announcements are not over, more prizes for the WFB tournament will be announced in the week's and months to come.

Huge thanks to everyone that attended last nights Invasion Social at Outpost Gaming. It was a great time and a couple of folks walked out with some cool prizes from our sponsors.

Next week the primer missions for WFB and 40K will be posted online. We will also be posting the WFB painting rubric and sportsmanship scorecard.

Since today is a huge holiday in my household (it is my brother's birthday) and tomorrow is going to be spent watching Thor multiple times, I figured I would bring the thunder early this week and updated everyone in celebration of Cinco de Mayo.

To kick of the news, Invasion Kenosha is very excited to announce a new sponsor. Chapterhouse Studios is the work of two hobbyists who have decided to take their love of the games of 40k and fantasy to a new level. What began as a journey into the intricacies of green stuff sculpting and casting resin in our garage has culminated into an amazing range of alternative bits and kits. Check out the Invasion site next Thursday, as Chapterhouse Studios and Invasion Kenosha will be making a big announcement for the folks participating in the 40K RTT.

Check out the details here =>http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/05/official-2011-sponsor-chapterhouse.html

Speaking of 40K, the first practice mission has been posted on the site.
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/05/40k-primer-mission-1.html

Not to be forgotten, the first primer scenario for the Warhammer Fantasy Tournament is also available on the site.
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/05/wfb-primer-scenario-1.html

With regards to both scenarios/missions, please feel free to comment on the site or in this forum.

Finally, the Warhammer Fantasy Painting rubric has been posted. Similar to last year, there are a few important changes based on feeback from last year's Invasion Kenosha.
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/05/wfb-appearance-scorecard.html

Next week's theme on the site is all about prizes for the 40K RTT, though I am sure a couple of WFB announcements will also slip in. If you haven't signed up already, what are you waiting for now? Registration closes on July 8th but spots are filling up fast. Invasion Kenosha, a weekends worth of convention packed into a single day with an entry cost that cannot be beat.

Breaking News...

Invasion Kenosha has just announced another sponsor for this year's event.

Privateer Press has become an official sponsor!

Details can be read here =>http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/05/official-2011-sponsor-privateer-press.html

As part of their support, we are looking to add a Warmachines/Hordes tournament to the Friday night schedule. Before we can do this, we need to find out if people are interested and what kind of event they would like within a 6 hour time frame. This is your chance to shape the future of Invasion Kenosha and add another tournament to our growing line-up of events and activities.

In addition to adding another tournament to Invasion, we will be including a Privateer Press category to the Golden Stein and updating the Saturday schedule to include demos.

This week has brought some pretty exciting announcements about this year's Invasion.

This week was dedicated to Rockhead's Comics in Games. Rockhead's C&G has been a sponsor of Invasion Kenosha for three years now and this year they have made a huge donation to the charity raffle. Speaking of the Charity Raffle, even if you are not playing in this year's tournaments, swing by on Saturday afternoon and purchase a couple tickets for the raffle. This year's raffle has more prizes than ever, and with prizes for every major wargaming system, everyone participating will have a shot at something cool to fit their gaming needs.

http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/06/40k-rtt-swag-bag-announcement_23.html

Speaking of Fantasy, the final primer scenario has been posted today
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/06/wfb-primer-scenario-3.html

On Friday night, we are inviting Fantasy players to come and play games of Storm of Magic.
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/06/friday-night-storm-of-magic-event.html

Finally, we have launched the online check-in for the Warhammer Fantasy tournament.
http://www.invasionkenosha.com/2011/06/warhammer-fantasy-online-check-in.html

As of this post, the WFB Tournament has 7 slots remaining. The 40K RTT is sold out. Finally, we have 6 spots remaining for the Steamroller tournament on Friday night. Registration closes at 5 pm CST on July 8th, so if you are interested in playing in any of the tournaments, you need to register via the website before that time. Invasion Kenosha will not be accepting walk-ups for any of the tournaments, though people not registered for a tournament are encouraged to swing by for open gaming, the painting contest, and charity raffle.

Starting today, we are counting down to the big weekend. Over the next two weeks, we will highlight the amazing sponsors and the support they are providing this year's Invasion. To begin the countdown to Invasion, we highlight one of our newest sponsors, Privateer Press.

Today's sponsor is Center Stage Miniatures. Thanks to them and their generous support, not only do we have a bunch of cool models for the charity raffle, we also have a bunch of cool models for the WFB tournament swag bag.

Only 4 spots remaining in this year's Warhammer Fantasy Tournament.

Another new sponsor for 2011 is Mantic games, makers of the awesome Kings of War. If you are looking for an alternative line of plastic fantasy models or want to start playing a quick and fun game, Kings of War is the range of models that you want to check out.



Speaking of Mantic games and Kings of War, Rockhead's Comics and Games carries a full line of Mantic models for purchase. Why visit some internet retailer when Allen and company can get you just what you need to start that Kings of War army that you have been wanting.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
4 more spots have been added to the 40K RTT.

Sponsor Spotlight: Cavalcade Wargames

Thanks to great sponsors like Cavalcade Wargames, Invasion Kenosha is more than just a tournament. It is also a chance for folks to check out great models and games that may not be seen elsewhere.



We have had someone drop from the Fantasy tournament. That means we have 5 spots remaining for the event. If interested, please head over to the Invasion website and use the registration box in the upper right side of the site.

Another really cool aspect of Invasion Kenosha is our ability to highlight alternative models for our favorite games. Today's sponsor, MaxMini, is one of the best examples of a company that has come up with some great alternative figures for certain fantasy games.

The single most important reason to attend Invasion Kenosha each year is to participate in the Daisy May Memorial Charity raffle. Among the prizes in this year's raffle are items from Warhammer Forge and Forgeworld. Folks will also have the chance to win Forgeworld prizes if they registered during the early registration period for the Fantasy tournament and 40K RTT.

We have waited till now to begin revealing the prizes for the overall winner of this year's 40K RTT at Invasion Kenosha. The goal of every Invasion Kenosha is to provide those that attend a day of organized and fun wargaming in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, we strive to make it memorable in every way possible, including the amazing levels of prize support we provide. Thanks to Outpost Gaming in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the winner of the first ever Invasion Kenosha 40K RTT is going to be walking away with a prize to remember.



The Dark Eldar codex is only the first prize and a hint of things to come. Check back in 12 hours for the next reveal.
