Fantasy Longbeards Tourney @ Game Haven North Dartmouth Feb. 9

Posted on January 29, 2008 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

We are pleased to share an upcoming Warhammer Fantasy event from you for the first time from a store in North Dartmouth. The store, Game Haven Hobbies, is hosting this fantastic event on Saturday, February 9, 2008.

This is our first time sharing any news from this store but we’re highly impressed by their website. It has a strong character and fits in very nicely with the games they support.

Their online forums are a very basic phpbb setup but they seem to do the job. The only downside is that due to an abundance of spambots new registrations must e-mail the store to have their account activated. We’re waiting on that as this article is typed in fact.

The Longbeards Tournament Information

Date: Saturday, February , 2008

Location: Game Haven, North Dartmouth, MA

Directions: Visit their website or call them at 508-961-0007.

Requirements: $10 entry fee, 2,500pt army, 3 copies of your legal army book list, special alternate lists are illegal, show up no later than 10:50am EST, have all materials you need to play (i.e dice, measuring devices, counters, templates, movement trays, army books, etc.)

Details: The tournament will be 3 rounds of play and a lunch break after the first round. The store opens at 10am and all players must show up no later than 10:50am. You need to sign up in advance for one of the 20 guaranteed spots. There will be alternate spots available in case players don’t show up on time. All rules and restrictions are available from the store or their forums.

Prizes: Grand Prize of 1,500pt WFB Army (winner’s choice). Various other prizes for other players.

White Dwarf #337 Quick Picks

Posted on January 29, 2008 by Jonathan J. Reinhart

We scoured the new WD and have chosen 5 Quick Picks for your perusal. If you hate reading the entire mag, have a short attention span, or just want the best here’s 5 sections you can’t miss. Our top pick is the Conquest of Empires article despite the gigantic error on p. 62 with the incorrect web link. The correct URL is http://us.games-workshop.com/news/whitedwarf/WD337/WD337.htm. Shame on you GW for this huge gaffe.

Don’t forget to read the complete table of contents for WD #337 from our article Inside White Dwarf #337 Feb. 2008.

Title: White Dwarf 337 Date: Feb. 2008 Cost: $6

The Serpent Kingdom: Battle Report: Strike of the Serpent! p. 36-55. Nice batrep to showcase the Harad releases. It is nice to see GW bring the focus back to LoTR after all these months of 40k and Apocalypse. Makes me want to see Return of the King again.
The Horus Heresy/Interview: Dan Abnett p. 56-59. This at a glance of all the Horus Heresy novels is worth the peek. The informational blurbs help to encapsulate each novel. Dan Abnett’s interview provides some wonderful insight into the Black Library and all this fluff.
Conquest of Empires p. 60-65. I’m a sucker for campaign coverage. I used to love reading the old articles about people’s fantasy campaigns and I also love the Mighty Empires kit. This snapshot of the GW studio campaign ends too soon. I wish they could have spent more time with a monthly installment. But, this is quality. Only downside, and its a big one, is the huge gaffe with the wrong URL.
Modelling Workshop: Imperial Baneblades p. 88-95. When Apocalypse first came out Baneblade variants were shown across the net. This article shows how treadheads can convert their baneblades to fill the perfect niche. There’s something for everyone regardless of skill. The behind the scenes on Yarrick’s Fortress of Arrogance makes this worth reading all its own.
Advance Orders p. 118-119. Shiny new product always leaves us with some drool on our mouths. But, this month it is very close to home. In case you couldn’t tell by my last podcast I am a Vampire Counts fanatic! The peeks of the upcoming Vampire Counts releases makes me very happy.
