Hey all! Here’s  the countdown reminder for a few things and a couple of decisions da interwebs haven’t done fixed yet.

JUNE 3rd - T-shirt orders are due. Remember you can email/talk to me if you don’t want to pay via Paypal interface.

JUNE 17th - Army lists are due to me here (sukigod@bigshoota.com). PDF .TXT, RST, DOCX… Any of these formats work. If you’re at Bakers on Tuesday nights, you can hand a hard copy to any one of the Waaagh!Fest staff. (Randy, Brian, Geppy, Brandon or Mark).

A few other notes as we get closer… We will not be using the new Eldar Codex as it’s inside the four week window. Alas, that means we have to let the Tau in though

Two particular issues have been raised that GW hasn’t been speedy about FAQing here in the states (apparently it’s understood in England).

1) The Tau’s Sun Shark Bomber STARTS with a bomb in the bomb generator.

2) Deamons Exalted Flamer Chariot: This unit CAN move and shoot.

If there’s anything else that’s really nebulous and you’re not sure (and already hasn’t been FAQ’d to death), contact me and we’ll sort it out before hand. I don’t want to have people not bring certain things because they were unsure about it.

The artwork for the t-shirts is done! Here’s a preview of the Waaagh!Fest T-shirts with the new artwork from Clayton!

Make sure you head over to the online order form and get yers today. Orders are due by JUNE 3RD!.

OK folks, Clayton’s workin’ hard to make us smashin’ t-shirt/poster design for this years Waaag!fest. This is what you can expect to see (finished, in color) on the posters and shirts. Make sure you get your t-shirt orders in on time as they’re limited editions and won’t be re-printed. I can’t wait, how about you?

Ok, Necrons got some really nice new love in the new Forgeworld book. One piece in particular is really cool since it’s the only “official” piece of WH40K Approved fortification outside of ‘umie hands. The Realm of Battle Necron Tomb Citadel, while being sweet, is way to large and we were really surprised it’s listed as “Warhammer 40,000 Approved”. Because of it’s impressive footprint (2′ square) we are adding it to the list of restricted items for Waaagh!Fest.

What’s dat you say? A mista-wut? Mystery! Like intrigue and danger and … You get it by now. The point is, we are offering for sale again, a commemorative Granite City Waaagh!Fest t-shirt for the low price of $$16.00. It will have the Waaagh!Fest logo and date of course and will feature a smashin’ new piece of work, custom made for us, by TaytonClait! He’s currently in progress and I’m so excited to see this one on a shirt, it’s nuts. Perfectly crafted for orks and pub folks. There’s even squigs!

To get yerself one of these masterpieces, head on over to the T-shirt Ordering Page and order. It’s through Paypal and the shirts do need to be pre-ordered, I can’t afford to pony up the amount of $$$ so you must order and pay before the contest. If you want a shirt and absolutely don’t want to use Paypal, email me and maybe we can work something out.

I will post the finalized shirt design as soon as I get the artwork from Clayton.

Waaaagh!!!!!!!!

Registration for this years Granite City Waaagh!Fest is now open. There area few changes to this years event, what with the introduction to 6th Edition, there will also be a change in venue. This years event will be held at the Waite Park Moose Lodge (just down the street from last years Waaagh!Fest). Sadly, due to operating costs, we've had to increase the entry fee from $30 to $40.

Speaking of things that have increased…. We've upped the number of open slots to 64 participants! The new space will have more than enough room and gives us a lot more flexibility (and better lighting ) There's also some other cool things we plan on introducing this year so make sure you get in early!

Cheers!

Randy Tenvoorde and
The Waaagh!Fest Staff.
