RSVP and some news...

OK folks, in addition to posting the usual Thursday RSVP thread, we've got some upcoming events we want to tell you all about. First, after a long hiatus, we're bringing back "The League"...

Friday, May 27th, will be the first day of Legio Malaysia's 40K League, Season 4. Rules will be posted soon, but for your planning it's a 4 week league with 1500 point fixed lists. If you've never played in a Legio 40K league before, check out the "Legio Downloads" section on the right and have a look at Season 3's rules. They will be similar. We'll also be handing out awards that night to the following Season 3 winners (assuming they are available to attend)

League Champion: Iskazri I.

Marksman's Honor: Khairul E.

Best Sportsman: Azlan R.

Best Appearance: Khairul E.

Now, it's been a LONG time since we wrapped up Seaason 3. Over a year, in fact. So, for Season 4, we thought it would be cool to finish up the league and awards ceremony a little quicker. SO, let's jump right in and chat about when we're going to do that, the Legio Birthday Bash!

The Legio Malaysia 2011 Birthday Bash will be held on Saturday, June 25th at Battlefront Miniatures. Full details/flyer are coming, but here's a teaser for what we have planned for the day:

Golden Kris 2011- Dann and Oliver have won the last two iterations of this. Are YOU next?

Season 4 40K League Championships- That's right, we're going to run the championship games during the birthday, and the winners will receive their awards along with the rest of the Birthday Bash event winners

The other event(s) going on for the Birthday Bash will be posted this weekend, so keep your eyes open for updates. In the meantime, RSVP here and let's get some hobby tomorrow!

Kindred II : Heroes - Legio 40k doubles hobby tournament

Greetings everyone.

We (Arzmi and me) had planned to release this rules pack on 1 jan rite at the stroke of midnite. But i'll be the first to admit that the unveiling has been haphazard to say the least. The blame is entirely mine and for that please accept my most sincere apologies. The release was also supposed to be accompanied by a post. So this is the post, 1 day late...

Kindred II : Heroes

Following up on the success of Kindred last year, this 16th of April 2011 Legio will be hosting it's second Doubles Hobby Tournament aptly named Kindred II : Heroes (K2). You can get the rules pack by clicking on the K2 banner above for more details.

But in short K2 is a :
1. 40k doubles hobby tournament
2. 750 points per partnership ( that means 1500 total points)
3. It's a hobby tournament first which puts more emphasis on the hobby aspect of the game.
4. All models must be fully painted as per Legio 3 colours standard.
5. All models MUST BE PAINTED by the player himself. At 750 points per player and having around 3.5 months till competition date, we truly believe this will be ample time for everyone :)

There will be 4 main awards up for grabs.

1. Tournament Hobby Champion
2. Best Generals
3. People's Choice and
4. Best Sportsmanship

K2 will be a super fun event!! Have a look at the photos of Kindred I on the Legio Photo Albums and please count how many smiles you see :)

At 750 points, its a good starting point for any beginners who want to experience participating in a 40k tournament. The atmosphere during K2 will be awesomely friendly so its always a nice opportunity for beginners to enter. This i promise.

So what are you waiting for. Find your Kindred, download the rules pack and start building your 750 points force.

We hope to see you at on 16th April.

Thank you all. Cheers.

All Hail the Metal Rabbit!

Wow, 2011 already! 2010 went by so fast, I think we all ended up with more unfinished models than we care to admit (well, that would apply to just about any year, but even more so for 2010 for some reason).

Looking back, 2010 was somewhat of a tumultuous year for Legio. We had some really amazing things happen - BFG, Kindred, Golden Kris, Tournament of Skulls, the annual 40k Tournament. At the same time, we had some pretty strong Legio members being transferred out of country for one reason or another (Khairul, Faizal, Ivan), and we had to move to the relatively smaller room ("relative", because it still comfortably fits 10 tables plus change) due to serious expansion of our host's business activities.

2010 was also a year of a lot of personal hobbying on the part of Legio core members (you guys checked out Jeff's cool all-Wraithguard Iyanden army?). The Legio hobby table is permanently occupied every Hobby Nite - and on some of the slower nites, we actually had more hobbying action at the hobby table than on the gaming tables! Now that's pretty amazing!

2011 looks like it's going to be a year focused on the hobby. Kindred II is coming up in a few months, and already the brothers kindred have done an amazing job promoting it. I'm totally looking forward to see the armies that will be fielded for that event and have ordered the stuff for my army. The 3rd Golden Kris should draw even more amazing entries as the standards of the Malaysian and Singaporean hobby scene grows steadily. And of course, there are the tournaments and campaigns - and Apoc battles to be had!

I'm getting really excited for 2011. It's the year of the metal rabbit, after all. And metal is Legio music! See you at Hobby Nite!
