Birthday Celebration a Success!

Wow, what a weekend! A record 14 trophies were won yesterday in two massive contests. Pictured above are the winners of the Combat Patrol Tournament we ran. 12 brave souls played a total of 60 games in a clash of 400 "patrols". Much fun was had, and Legio kudos go out to Peter for his victory and well deserved Purity Seal!

In addition, we also ran our first ever painting contest, Golden Kris 2009. I went ahead and put together a little montage and posted it on YouTube- scroll down below and watch it right here on the Legio Malaysia site. Otherwise, you can follow the link below:



Congratulations to Dann for his Golden Kris winning Avatar- your trophy and Purity Seal are well deserved. Also congrats go out to Khairul E. for winning the "People's Choice" award for his fantastic rendition of Eldrad Ulthran. Well done to the both of you!

If you missed it, all I can say is that we had a blast, and that you should definitely come next year!

Cheers

Jeff

Tshirts have arrived (finally!)

Well, it's safe to say that we've finally found a tshirt supplier that can deliver the goods! A very special thanks goes out to Iskazri for finding these guys- thanks dude!

For those who don't know, every year we like to do a new tshirt for our supporting members (previously known as Level 2 members). All supporting members who have had at least 3 months of paid dues in 2009 will be getting one of these shirts at no cost. These will be available at Hobby Night tomorrow, so be sure to pop in and get your shirt!

I also just took delivery of the 15 tables and 30 chairs I ordered, and we'll be setting up the club area tonight for tomorrow's Hobby Night. Trophies are getting made, a new display case assembled, and other preparations are getting finished for Saturday's Birthday Celebration. This is a fun time to be a Legionnaire, and I'm really looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can over the next couple of days. Legio Uber Alles!

Birthday Tourney / Legion Update

Hola folks!

Today's the last day to advance register for Saturday's "Combat Patrol" tournament. All registrations after today will be added to the tournament roster on a first come, first served basis. There are still slots available, and it doesn't cost anything to join. Combine that with the fact you don't need a lot of models to play, and you've got no excuse not to join in the fun!

Here's the confirmed list of participants for Combat Patrol thus far:

Subhan
Khairul E.
Peter C.
Arzmi
Chang
Redeye84
Johan
Faizal
Shazli M.
Iskazri
Joe S.
Dann T.

Even if you're not playing the CP Tournament or competing in the Golden Kris competition, we urge all hobbyists to come out and visit. There will be snacks and drinks, and everyone who attends will be given ballots to vote for their favorite miniatures in Golden Kris. If you've thought about joining Legio Malaysia, this Saturday would be a great time to come out and see what we're all about. Attendance is free, and we'd love to meet you!

Finally, I have one more announcement to make. Thanks to recent factory renovations, we now have a dedicated home for Legio Malaysia. Rather than playing in the lunch room, we now have a space in the factory that is not used for something else! Tables will remain set up from week to week, and we now have the space to do things that we couldn't do before. We've just purchased 15 tables and 30 chairs, which are for the Legion's uses alone. This means that we will have the capacity to have up to 30 people playing games at the same time! We have shelving as well for terrain, materials, or even figure cases/belongings. And this is only the beginning...

We're unveiling the new locale this Friday at Hobby Night. Come through the front glass door of the factory, and take the stairs all the way to the top. Walk through the door, and you've just stepped into the new home of Legio Malaysia. I'm sure you'll like it!

Until Friday,

Jeff
