Adieu Saleem - For Now

Last night was an amazing Hobby Night - and not just because it's Saleem's last (at least for some time). If you don't know who Saleem is, he's a pioneer member of the Legio from the very first Hobby Night. His contribution to the hobby, the wargames community and to the Legio is nothing short of exemplary. Not only does he engage in a myriad of wargames periods and genres (15mm WW2 Soviets, Warmachine, 40k Sisters of Battle, and the list goes on ...), Saleem and Jeff spent many a sweaty weekday and weekend evening building the terrain that you enjoy at the Legio today, and is always an active contributor to Legio activities and events. His Purity Seal is truly well-deserved. Saleem received his posting orders and will be shipping out to Tallarn promptly. May he bring some hobby goodness to the shifting desert sands. Emperor Protects!


I would also like to welcome the latest Legionnaires - Yvonne, Ernest, Joe, Khairul, Keh Win - who volunteered into the ranks of the Legio last night. Which, by the way, was an amazing Hobby Night.

    Nice pics Han! And Saleem, as long as we're not depending on you rolling a 4+ to WBB, I'm sure we'll see you back from the desert

    That Purity Seal is a nice touch, it was a complete surprise when Jeff announced it. For your 40K fix Saleem, I think we have Vince somewhere in the middle east as well. I wonder if your vicinities are close.

    The rest of the night was crazy, it was the most jam-packed Hobby Night in a while, with all of our tables used up. I'm surprised we still had terrain to deploy!

    I brought my own terrain - half the Heavy Gear table was my own stuff.

    I think just about every rock and crater and hill and tree was taken that night, except maybe the FOW Eastern Europe buildings.

    That was an outstanding hobby night for sure. It's great to see the ranks grow with new inductees!

    Saleem, take it easy. You'll be missed, and we look forward to your triumphant return to Malaysia...
