Hobby Night 14 February : RSVP here

Greetings everyone,

After a long break of fun and festivities, Hobby Night is back again this week!

And this week we have not one but 2 Throwdown categories that will be displayed for everyone's viewing and judging pleasure. Both are Wildcard entries so we will have a variety of nicely painted models. Currently,we have 6 guys who have qualified for the Final Throwdown with only Alvin, Jeff and Patrick having 100% throwdown participation record. That's 6/6 yo! Much respect!
We have another 6 painters who need to present their models tomorrow to qualify for the finals. Let's see who among them have the perseverance and dedication to make it through.

Yours truly will drop out unfortunately. Yeah....lame, I know.

Of course, games will also played so come join us for another night of might and mayhem!!!

RSVP here.

It's Hobby Time Again!

It's that time of the week again when glorious, Legio Malaysia hobby is knocking at the door. In addition to standard gaming and hobby action, tomorrow night's Hobby Night will also feature the third painting challenge and vote of the Legio Army Throwdown II: Warhammer Army Painting Challenge.

For this throwdown participants are required to bring their fully painted Army General. Out of all 8 throwdown challenges, this one is by far the easiest as you only need one model! Attendance tomorrow night should be at 100%- if you have signed up and don't make this one, you're nuts!

In particular, we strongly urge the following people to show up tomorrow night. Everyone on this list has failed to make even one entry thus far, despite painting having started way back on October 8th! If you find your name on this list, you really need to get to Hobby Night tomorrow with your painted Army General!

Hafizhu Rodzali
Jo Tan
Stephane Porquier
Dann Toh
Faizal Azlan
Rizal Abdullah
Ken Khang

If you guys miss this one, you'll have to make 4 out of the final 5 challenges to qualify for the finals. We'd hate to see you guys miss out, so please come!

For the rest of our intrepid competitors, who's going to win tomorrow's vote? Last throwdown was won by Arzmi Bakar and his gorgeous Empire Pistoliers. Who's next....?

So come on down for some great hobby! For those not in the challenge, don't forget to come check it out and cast your vote for your favorite Army General entry.

See you there!

RSVP for Hobby Night & Fantasy Army Throwdown

First up, we'd like to announce that Legio Malaysia have shifted from Battlefront Miniatures' office to the new Hobby Forge. Due to space constraints that we were and are still currently facing at the factory, we knew that we needed to shift Legio to a new location. This location had to be spacious enough for us to hold our regular Hobby Nights, events & tournaments and more importantly allow our tables to be laid out at all times thus protecting them from damages.

We're sure all of you will agree that the new Hobby Forge fits all these requirements and more. So please join us in thanking Alvin Khaw, the owner of Hobby Forge for kindly allowing us to shift Legio Malaysia's base there. Thank you dude.

Secondly, our Fantasy Army Throwdown : Core unit will be held tomorrow during Hobby Night. For everyone who have joined us in this painting madness, you will need to bring your completed Core unit. All entries must be displayed by 9pm. Those who bring their entries late at 9.01pm onward will not be eligible for voting so please come early. 
Voting will start from 9-10pm and is open to everyone who comes for Hobby Night. So even if you're not taking part, we'd appreciate if you can come to support and vote :)
Just in case you missed the first part of this post, the Throwdown will be held at Hobby Forge. Do not go to Battlefront Miniatures tomorrow night! Only zombies and ghouls will be there. 

Thirdly, our annual year end event will be held on Saturday, 14th of December. Wrath of the Ommissiah will a 1850 points Warhammer 40K tournament. The rulespack is already out. Just click on the banner above for details. We are having 20 participants for the event so please sign up quickly to confirm your entry. Be prepared for devastating steel rain from above!!! You cannot hide....

Fourthly, our Iron Painter event will be held next Saturday until Sunday. Again please click on the banner above for more details. No limit for participants so come join us :)

Golden Kris V

Our May 18th Birthday Bash will feature the fifth (!) iteration of our yearly 'Golden Kris' painting contest. To mark the occasion appropriately, Legio Malaysia commissioned local sculptor Jarold Sng to sculpt our very own Golden Kris Statuette. This statue, pictured in the Golden Kris banner at the top of the page, will be cast and prepared in Gold, Silver, and Bronze schemes for all Golden Kris categories. This means there will be TWELVE of these fantastic statuettes available to win, making this year's contest a 'can't miss' on every serious painter's calendar. This year will feature the following categories:

SINGLE MODEL

Entries may include any single 25-35mm scale model mounted on a base no larger than 40mm round/square. Cavalry/bike models are also entered into this category. Smaller scale entries, such as for games like Flames of War or Dropzone Commander, may also be entered in this category. For these, one stand of infantry (typically two to five models) or one vehicle may be entered.

LARGE MODEL

Entries may include any single 25-35mm scale model normally mounted on a base larger than 40mm round/square or unbased like a vehicle.

UNIT

Entries must consist of a 25-35mm scale game legal unit of at least five models and no more than twenty. Smaller scale entries, for games such as Flames of War or Dropzone Commander, may be entered into this category. The five model/stand minimum rule applies here as well.

SPECIAL CATEGORY: DUEL

This year's 'Wild Card' category is 'Duel'. Entries need to show two 25-35mm scale models in combat with each other, mounted on a base no larger than 5" x 5". This is a diorama, and as such game legal casing for the models is NOT required.

OVERALL CONTEST RULES SUMMARY

All entries must be 100% built and painted by the person entering the model. Entrants must enter their own models and be physically present at the awards ceremony to claim their prize(s). If an entrant is not present at that time, the next highest scored model will take the prize in question. The awards ceremony will take place immediately after awards are given out for the Kindred IV 40K Legio Hobby Tournament.

Any display bases must be reasonably sized to allow room for all entrants, preferably painted/modeled to match the models being displayed on them. Motorized/lighted/gimmicky display bases are not permitted. If you have any questions about your base you may contact Legio Malaysia directly via email, through our Facebook page, or in person at any of our Hobby Nights.


KILL TEAMS RECAP- MORE PLAYTESTING FRIDAY NIGHT!

Kill zone in the factory and snipers in the rose bushes. Recap by Mark Smith

This week we had tables set up with two very different themes – one a mechanical factory floor and the other a tranquil, relaxing, sweet smelling garden scene. A serene paradise that only the Eldar could truly appreciate....that was until it was ruined by the crushing boots of power armour trampling all over the flowers!!

The attackers had two objectives this week; one was to upload a computer virus on computer terminals and to assassinate an Alien Spy hiding among the defenders team.

In the factory the first fight was between the Blood Angels and the Dark Angels. The Dark Angels bravely prepared to valiantly protect the Alien Spy, sheltering behind a stack of crates, even prepared to use their own bodies as shields to protect the important alien... who got blasted away by rapid fire!! Then they had to deal with swift moving Blood Angels outflanking on the left side. A win for the Blood Angels.

The Death Korps or Krieg were up next. Led by the confident and charismatic Lieutenant Moller the Korp’s job was to protect the Alien against the Dark Angels. They boldly deployed with the Alien protected by a combination of crates and bodies. This time the Dark Angels stood back and mercifully poured plasma bursts onto the ill-fated Death Korps, with one of the blasts drifting on to the poor Alien. Instantly he was fried in plasma. Suddenly a tightly huddled group of six marines made a break for a computer terminal on the right flank, only to be surprised by a single, flamer armed, defender stepping around the corner. The defender must have thought it was his lucky day, hitting all six marines.... and injuring none!!! It wasn’t his lucky day, all six marines ganged up on the doomed Death Korp. The centre of the table had become a cruel kill zone.

Meanwhile, over in the garden the Eldar were mad about their afternoon picnic on the grass being disturbed, first by Black Templers and then by Blood Angels. Rangers armed with sniper rifles showed the Black Templers the true meaning of accurate fire from well hidden vantage points. They also quickly moved their Alien Spy out of the danger zone and successful protected a computer terminal, while cutting down the ill-fated Templers.

However, they hardly had time to rest before they realised that a team of Blood Angels were in the same garden. The Angels had their own Alien spy, which the Eldar endeavoured to execute, but the Angels and the spy quickly took up cover behind some walls and away from the sneaky snipers. The Eldar Fire Dragon unleashed retribution on the wall, creating a hole big enough to pass through, however before he could take advantage of this he was vicious jumped by a hooligan Blood Angel. The lengthy fight was even joined by a nimble sandwich filled Harlequin.... who was promptly beaten by the Blood Angel. A protected Alien Spy, a secure computer and a second win for the Angels!

This Friday the mission has a music connection....Pink Floyd and the Doors. Come and join !!

RSVP here for tomorrow's Hobby Night. Take care folks.

RSVP 22 March 2013

It's that time of the week again gents. Hobby night is on again for some dice rolling madness and fun. I have a 2500 fantasy game planned against Nahri's High Elves. Hope he remembers and makes it.

Also will be play testing 40K Kill Team with Mark. If you want to know more about this then do drop by tomorrow night. If you're feeling brave then bring some models and join us. 

Ave Legio!!

RSVP for 15th February : Elites Throwdown

It's Legio Hobby Night time again guys! 

This week our Throwdown participants will be unveiling their 'Elites' choice. From the standard that was shown from the previous 2 Throwdowns, you can expect to see more beautifully painted models this week. With a huge variety of 'Elite' choices available, this is one Throwdown you do not want to miss.

League IV is also in full blown war mode. I know that everyone is just itching to bump the top 4 guys down a rung or two. I'd love to do that too but with 2 losses so far it's not looking good for the saim-hann. But we will prevail. Remember, you need to have played at least 4 games and be fully painted by the end of the season to qualify for the finals. So start cracking more heads and paint up those last few models ;).

Legio Grand Tournament 2013
Legio Malaysia will be holding our first Grand Tournament (GT) event this year. It will be a Warhammer 40K event run over 2 days on the 14th and 15th of December inclusive of a chill out with friends with freshly grilled burgers and hot dogs dinner event. More details will be announced later but do mark your calender if you're interested. It's going to be....Legendaarrrryyyyy!!!

On another note, due to unforeseen circumstances, our FoW Europe in Flames tournament will have to be rescheduled to the 26th of October. This just means there's more time to get your 2K armies prepared :)

We wish to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year.

See you tomorrow.

Hobby Night 19th October : RSVP

This week marks the end of our FoW Operation Case Yellow. After a bitter start the Germans forces have managed to gain the upper hand but just slighty. Should the Germans win, the result will be a minor German victory. If the Allies manage to win then this campaign will result in an overall draw.

Which would then mean that Hauptman Nahri (Overall Axis Commander ) and Oui Capitaine Arzmi (Overall Allied Commander) will wear their respective armor and duel it out in the arena. Injury and victory is still at 2 odds. Decaptitation gets you 3. Only gold dinaris can be used to partake in this once in a lifetime match-up.

See you guys there. RSVP if you're coming.

This week's Hobby Night is Cancelled

Thick fog predicted this Friday. Visiblity will be bad. No jump this Hobby Night. I repeat there will be no Hobby Night this week.

We should be open for dice rolling goodness same time next week. Operation Case Yellow final week resumes next Hobby Night with the fate of France still undecided.

Have a good weekend everyone. Take care

Case Yellow Turn 4 Recap and RSVP

Taking advantage of the momentum provided last turn by Khairul's Luftlandesturm victory, the Germans continued to press the assault. Azlan's 5-Panzerdivision engaged Mark's British Infantry Company, while Iqbal's Leichte Pioneerkompanie battled with Chang's French Infantry Company. If you haven't been paying attention, last week's mission was Dust Up.

As mentioned earlier, Azlan's armored thrust was met by Mark's British Infantry Company. It was a hard fought fight for the Germans, with Mark's artillery relentlessly pounding Azlan's tanks as they tried to advance. After a failed headlong charge in the first turn, Hauptmann Azlan was brutally reminded of the firepower possessed by the Brits. Somehow, the failed attempt forced the Hauptmann to showcase his excellent generalship by concentrating fire on the infantry squads hidden in the woods, eliminating them one at a time and at the same time slowly advancing from the flanks. By the time the Brits realised what the opponent was up to, it was already too late. Suffice to say, German Victory!

The Brits fending off the German attack.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of a remote town, another battle took place. Although it was a relatively small engagement (1250 points), that does not mean that it was less exciting as compared to others. My Leichte Pioneerkompanie threw wave upon wave of bodies forward only to be met by stiff defense of Chang's French Infantry. In this battle, the Germans lacked air superiority as the remote dense forest prohibited the airplanes from bombing enemies at will (a.k.a no fives on the airplane dice rolls). The Panzer IB squad led by the company commander was the hero of the day, as it mowed down countless squads of infantry with its Twin MG. Luck was probably on their side too as they managed to dodge numerous shots from the French Somua tanks. The Panzer IB heroic actions allowed one of the Pioneer Squads to dash for the objective. German Victory!

Mighty Panzer I and their Pioneer escorts.

It was two solid turns of consecutive victory for the Germans. The mission for Turn 5 will be Free For All, and this will be the most important turn for both sides should they wish to secure campaign victory.

RSVP if you're ready for combat.

RSVP if you thirst for battle.

RSVP if you wanna taste victory.

And do RSVP too if you're just planning to gain some Denari.

See you tomorrow!

Iqbal
