DOA Opens Officially
By The Boss | April 6, 2010
I’m very happy to finally announce the official launch of our club. While I realize that our members have been gathering for several months already officially this weekend’s launch event marks the end of what I would consider the BETA period. We are now as official club as one can be. First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for all their support, contributions and efforts to make this club a reality. The community we have already built has been great and extremely cordial, I can’t say enough how much fun it has been to meet everyone and be inhumanly crushed on our table top battlefields.
I want to equally thank everyone that showed up and supported the club at our club launch event this weekend. While I had hoped for a better turn out, I’m happy to report that the event was an absolute blast and lasted a shocking 15 hours! There was some tough grudge matches, horrific upsets and a few crushed miniatures that will never see the light of day again (I will be doing a full weekend round up on the forums later this week with pictures).
Now that the club is officially launched I thought I would share some of our plans for the near future.
Fantasy Campaign: The development of the fantasy campaign has already begun and is making great progress. We will definitely see this campaign this summer tentatively planned for May 16th after the conclusion of Chapter I of the Warhammer 40k Campaign currently in progress. I can reveal that the campaign will be of epic proportions with great effort to bring some of the most horrific battles to the table top one could imagine.
40k Campaign: We will continue to play out the first chapter of the current warhammer 40k campaign and we will end Chapter I of this campaign with an event dedicated to it sometime in middle of May where the faith of planet Gillo will be definitely decided. After the completion of Chapter I, after a short break we will release the second chapter of the campaign which is going to be a new opportunity for players to join the campaign with a fresh, brand new start so get those armies ready. You can expect this new chapter to begin sometime in June.
Competitive Tournament (Warhammer 40k): Nothing brings out those cheesy list then a nice competitive tournament. This no holds bar tournament entitled “Blood Feuds” will be hosted by DOA this summer in July. This will be an epic 2 day event that will include a BBQ feast and more warhammer action then you can shake a stick at. While we are currently planning this as a 40k tournament due to a shortage of fantasy players in the club, if we get some more members we will turn this into a doubles tournament hosting both fantasy and 40k tournaments simultaneously.
Workshop Weekend: Ever wanted to learn how to make some of that kick ass terrain, or want to build your own terrain table? Perhaps learn how to make your own cloaks out of green stuff? The workshop weekend will be a two day event this summer sometime in June that will be focused on the art aspect of warhammer as we paint and create terrain and miniatures in a fully equipped workshop with all the tools and components you need to make your visions a reality as well as trained club members who can give you a helping hand. Naturally the workshop weekend will include warhammer gaming, so expect to play some games over the course of this two day event.
Fight Night!: By the time this summer is over you will bloody hate warhammer with this weekly event that will occur every Sunday like clockwork from the time summer starts till the bitter coming of fall. Naturally given the state of the weather there is no telling when this bloody summer will actually starts but hopefully by May-June we fight night will be on! Each week a host for fight night will be selected and a location. Players will RSVP to the event and as long as there are at least 2 players its GAME ON! This will be an opportunity for everyone to get some serious gaming in this summer, I hope you guys take advantage!
