Week 4 and Season 2 Just Around the Corner

Hola Legionnaires!

This Friday promises to be an exciting Hobby Night!

For the Flames of War league, Friday marks the beginning of the 4th and final week of the regular season. Thus far, Edwin has managed to stay on top, but who knows what will happen in the final week? Nick has not only finished his minimum games- he's also got a two game lead for the League Fanatic award. Sweet!

With the league starting to wind down, I thought I'd recap what Legio Malaysia's upcoming plans are for Flames of War fans. Next month we'll be launching the much-anticipated Firestorm: Bagration campaign. This will kick off on Friday, March 20th at Hobby Night. If you plan on participating, please make plans to attend Hobby Night that night. We'll be conducting a pre-campaign briefing, and we'll be electing the commanding generals for the German and Soviet armies. So, if you want a say, or even want to be one of the generals, you gotta show up! Remember, ANY late war army may be played for this campaign. It's not just for German and Soviet players!

The very next morning on Saturday, March 21st we'll be running our first Flames of War Legio Tournament. This will be a 3 round, 1500 pt. Late War tournament. The rules packet for this will be done by Hobby Night, and posted in the downloads section.

Now, on to the 40K madness!

Friday begins the second season of the Warhammer 40,000 league. We are now accepting registrations, so if you want to get into Friday action as quickly as possible, be sure to pre register. Remember, ForgeWorld and scratch built models MUST be approved before you play your first game, so get those submissions in if you plan to use them.

The first night of a league also calls for something else- awards! The Season One winners will receive their trophies and applause at 9:00 PM this Friday. We'll even have drinks and snacks to commemorate this special occasion, so be sure to make it if you can!

That's about it for the league news. The last thing I want to mention relates to club matters specifically. We are working out a good time to have a proper club meeting. Gaming and circumstances have prevented us from holding a proper meeting for a long time, and we're well past due to have a good round table discussion. There are a lot of things we'd like to bring up to the membership, and as we get closer to our Birthday Celebration in May we need to get some help and preparation lined up. So, keep your ears to the ground for a time/place announcement on the site.

Thanks a bunch, and see you Friday!

League Updates

We have a little news here for participants of both the current Flames of War league, as well as next week's launch of the 40K 2nd season.

First off, after midnight tonight we are no longer accepting registrations for the Flames of War Season 1 league. We've just passed the half way point, with only two weeks left! Be sure to get your 4 games (minimum) in, and get those armies painted if you haven't already.

For our 40K players, today starts your eligibility to submit your army list for the upcoming league. Starting today, feel free to email your list in through the blog. If you haven't read the rules yet, we strongly encourage you to do so. There are a few changes from last season, including one made to registration.

For Season 2, if you are not a member of Legio Malaysia, participation in the league will cost you RM15.00. I'm sure many of you would prefer a price of RM 0.00, but please keep in mind we are a club, not a shop. We need funds to provide you guys with tables, terrain, trophies, tshirts, etc. We appreciate your understanding, and sincerely thank you for your support by joining the league.

You might also want to consider becoming a member! For members, leagues are ALWAYS free, and you can join Legio Malaysia for as little as RM10.00 a month. If this sounds like it's your cup of tea, pop by any Hobby Night and we'll get you squared away.

That's it for this post, folks. See you tonight!

At last, member shirts have arrived...

That's right, we finally got these delivered today, just in time for tomorrow's hobby night AND Legion Meeting. So, all members have TWO killer reasons for showing up tomorrow night...


I'll be building my 2nd SS Flames of War army for Iron Painter. What are the rest of you hobby nutters doing?

The dice are here!

That's right folks, if you have signed up as a level 2 member we have your set of 10 customized Legio Malaysia dice. If you're a level 3 member, we've also included a nice dice pouch to hold them in :) Be sure to come to Hobby Night this week and pick your set up!

In other member benefits news, I'm waiting on another quotation before ordering the first set of shirts. If you're a level 2 or 3 member, please get us your shirt size so we know what to get you- the sooner the better. I'd love to order these by the end of the week...
