2010 – The Stormwarden Project
2011 – Heroes of Armageddon

2012 – The Black Crusade

We are happy to announce a new campaign in the tradition of the Stormwarden Project (http://stormwardens.blogspot.de/) and the Heroes of Armageddon (http://heroesofarmageddon.blogspot.de/).
Over the next weeks, the Black Crusade 2012 will take place. We assembled a whole new team of hobby enthusiasts who will build and paint a massive Warhammer 40K Chaos Space Marine army just to give it away in a big raffle!

This year's campaign will benefit the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund (http://www.jackvasel.org/), a charity that provides financial assistance to members of the gaming community who have suffered personal hardship.

How does it work?
Every dollar you contribute gives you a chance to be the lucky new army winner at the end of this drive. 10 dollars contribution =10 chances to win. 100 dollars = 100 chances... you get the idea.

In short: the more you contribute, the better your chances. More importantly, the more you contribute, the more you help to make the world a better place.

At the end of the drive, on August 10th, we will choose and announce the winner.

And of course we will have additional give-aways of all kind of gaming related goodies for you!
The winners of those prizes will be drawn form everybody who contributed to that point, so get your lots in early!

We just started to accept contributions via PayPal.

Additionally, for the first time we will have two blogs, one in english and one in german.
Visit http://blackcrusade2012.blogspot.de (english version) or http://blackcrusade2012-de.blogspot.de (german version) to find out more!
