Invasion Kenosha III Dice


Invasion Kenosha is very happy to announce that players in each tournament (WFB and 40K) will receive one custom dice produced by Chessex as part of their swag bag.  Just another little keep sake to remember this year's event.

News: Avatars of War Wood Elf

Avatars of War, Invasion Kenosha's biggest supporter and sponsor, has released a new model today.  Check out the amazing Wood Elf Hero.

From the deep forests of the Emerald Mountains comes a new hero, a Wood Elf.
The miniature has been sculpted by Edgar Ramos, based on conceptual art by Daniel Díaz Heredia and Wayne England. Wayne is also the author of the color illustration for the blister card.

The blister comes with two different heads, to assemble the miniature with or without hood.

Don't forget, everyone playing in this year's Warhammer Fantasy Tournament will receive a random model from Avatars of War.

Daisy May Memorial Charity 2011 Raffle Prize (Cavalcade Wargames)


Dragonblood, the Songs of ShadowSea is not the only range of figures produced by Cavalcade Games.  They also have a range called Fantasy Armies of the Far East.  Today's donation by Cavalcade Games comes from that range of models.


Warhammer Fantasy Online Check-in

We are trying something new for this year with the implementation of an online check-in for the Warhammer Fantasy Tournament.  Once full registered players have decided upon their army for the tournament and who they will be traveling with for the day, they can check-in for the tournament via the link below.  The check-in process takes about 2 minutes and allows us to collect a couple pieces of information that will help with setting up the pods and determining first round table assignments.  It will also help to prevent players from being paired up with a traveling companion for the first two rounds of the tournament.  Players are not required to check-in early, but it will help if everyone playing in the tournament does it.

Since this is something new, folks that check-in by July 15th, 2011, will be entered into a special drawing as a special thanks for helping this year's tournament run smoothly.

Daisy May Memorial Charity 2011 Raffle Prize (Cavalcade Wargames)

Without the help of our great sponsors, Invasion Kenosha would not be the event that it has become.  Among those outstanding sponsors is Cavalcade Wargames, maker of Dragonblood miniatures.  Dragonblood Miniatures are the official figures for the ShadowSea ruleset produced by Antimatter Games.  Today's prize for the Daisy May Memorial Charity raffle was donated by them and is part of their Songs of ShadowSea range.

Waaagh Cast - Episode 61

Episode 61 : Storm of Magic

Episode 61 : Storm of Magic

Show notes:
  1. Sponsorship : Gryfalia's Aerie, Capital City Games and Chris Mullins
  2. News/Rumors/Feature : Forge World Chaos Dwarfs and Storm of Magic Pictures/Releases and Rules Rumors
This Episode Chuck and I start by of course thanking our wonderful Sponsors. Chris who singularly sponsored this and the next show is also the wonderful person who donated the Foot of Gork Template that we gave away on the last show's Twitter Contest. Congratulations again to 'The Prophet' for winning that awesome template and thanks to Chris for putting in the effort to have them made. We discuss our weeks which are fairly thick this time as we've both been actually playing and getting stuff done. Exciting I know.

We forgo our usual Feature segment's this episode to discuss the big chunk of News/Rumors we have. Warhammer Forge has released the two other War Machines for the Chaos Dwarf line of models. The Magma Cannon and Deathshrieker Rocket Battery. Both are really good looking models. We then move into the more important bit of news that is the Storm of Magic releases and rumors that are due out in July. The models are amazing looking; but the rumors to me seem pretty ho-hum. Hopefully you all enjoy the show!

Garagehammer - Episode 25

Episode 25 – Summer Preview
Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, Unseen Lerker, The Game Preserve, and Ursa’s Den

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

Shout out Sponsors: Too many to list. Thank you all from the bottom of our pure-beef hearts.

Local Tournament Info segment brought to you by Circle City Circuit.

Thanks to Chris Yu for letting us use his basement for recording this episode during a game night!

So here’s Episode 25, about a week late. Sorry, but the end of the school year makes for some crazy schedules.  Speaking of which, Episode 26/27 are due out June 10/24, but we will be recording them on those days, so they will be a few days behind, but July should see us getting back on schedule.
So what are we doing this Episode? We tried to have a game night with constant battle reports and games in the background, but it didn’t quite happen that way. What wound up happening was, most of our gaming group was there and we all started talking about what we are doing lately. Seeing as before we were all rather focused on our Mighty Empires Campaign, that was pretty much the stock answer. Now that the final games of the campaign have been played and our next Campaign won’t start up again until the end of July, everyone wanted to talk about whatever they were pulling off the back burner. Summer is coming and most of NW2 have summer hobby plans.

So what does this mean for the show? Well, there is the typical “news and rumors,” and there are some “immediately after the game” battle reports, but then it kind of becomes a bunch of hobby talk. It’s kind of like a Pointhammered paint night, but without all the painting. Anyway, The last hour and a half or so was recorded later at the Crypt and that’s the closest thing to an actual topic that you are going to find. Anyway, I left most of this Episode intact because as I listened, there wasn’t any dead or useless air. The topic just meanders all around the hobby and, in my humble opinion, made for an interesting slice of the overall hobby in our group.

And stay tuned after the episode for more silliness.
