I thought I'd post these issues just in case anybody missed them. Just click and download.

Interruptions...

Sorry for the cancellation of November's meeting guys...real life has intruded once again to make things hectic and tiring. We'll be back in December for the 1000-pt 40k stretch of the Escalation League. Keep painting, keep playing, and get ready for the fight of your life!

Fantasy Doubles Tournament!

Fantasy Doubles Tournament An Overwhelming Success!

On Sunday, August 17th, the NCWC hosted a Fantasy Doubles Tournament, putting together some of the weirdest combinations of armies to create a plethora of interesting battles. The event showcased some of the most well-painted armies in the NCWC, and was very well received by the players involved; there is now talk of an ongoing Fantasy Doubles League, which is swift becoming a reality as you read this.

Here are some pictures taken from the day:

Fundraising for the NCWC

Folks, we will need volunteers to work the snackbar at the event coming up:

The Summer of War

As most of you know, the summer has been tricky, but overall it has been very good for us as well.

For the 40k end of things, we finally got the Battle of Bastion off the ground, despite numerous delays and scheduling issues. The battle was very good, and I think it represented some great displays of strategy and guile on the part of both sides (I tip my hat to the Imperials for their excellent use of squadrons, in particular that nasty Dreadnought hit). Thanks very much for making it a good game!

It has been a difficult time for Fantasy lately...I mean, how do you follow an act like the Isle of Draconia? Phah! Mr King will, no doubt, be hatching something big for the next round. Ryan is currently running the Fantasy RPG; for more details, check out the heading under the forum for the latest news.

On the RPG front, Ian has began a Dark Heresy campaign, of which I play the part of Ignatius Jones, guardsman for any job! The mystery has just begun to unravel...check it out under "Secrets and Silverfish" on the forums. This campaign is completely online, so if you are interested in joining, contact Ian directly.

Okay, the big, big news.

August is going to be a blowout for the club. Not only are we hosting a Fantasy and 40k Doubles Tournament, but we are also going to be part of a cross-promotion with the AWA Wrestling Promotion! BigJ has been working like mad, and pushing it like a trooper! Finally, they had to give up, and let him run with it. The Kinsmen of Port Dover (our very generous supporters) will be hosting the AWA event on August 24th. We will be running a snackbar and information kiosk for the club, and a portion of the proceeds from the snackbar will be coming back to us!

What this means for us...

• More money to get some new tables!
• Advertising to promote the club!
• More fundage for prizes for our tournaments!
• And whatever else we can think of to make our club even better!

If you would like to volunteer some of your time on the 24th to help run the snackbar, please contact me, the Lord Marshall, as soon as you can. This is going to be a big deal folks...let's make a good effort to match the work done by our Grand Poo-bah, the Big J.

Ok?

Ok.

Uhhh....

So yes...yesterday did not go as planned. C'est la vie (that's life, en anglais). Nevertheless, we had a great turnout on a rainy, cold, windy, and confused day. The games were fast, furious, and I really have to say that it was excellent seeing so many 40k players with armies ready to go.

For those of you who showed up ready to go for the Apocalypse Battle, I am very sorry; not enough room, and not enough time. Next month, we will continue the battle.

The Battle for Bastion -- At the Bastion Wall

Let the Battle Begin!



















On May 18th, the battle for the city of Bastion will commence at the NCWC. An 8000 point Apocalypse Battle between the Imperium and its enemies will decide the fate of over 40 million souls caught in the path of the bloody ambition of Chaos. Governor Alsabor Creed has reportedly resurrected one of the greatest treasures of the Imperium to fight for the city -- an Imperial Baneblade that has not seen action since the Age of Apostasy. These are truly dire days for the citizens of Bastion...

The war has also continued in orbit, as a small Imperial fleet of Astartes Strike Cruisers converge on a contingent of Marauder-class vessels that hang above the planet. In the distance, Imperial observers have spotted the Infernal Answer -- the flag ship of the Witchlight Marauders! The Blood Angels are engaging the Chaos cruisers as the plains begin to rumble with the weight of the approaching enemy forces!
