War is Here!: Battle for Karak Kadar Warhammer Fantasy Apocalypse Free Event on June 2nd

He is ready! Will you? Prove it, bring your strongest Soldiers to the battle!

Death Fears ME! and Central Oregon Wargaming are going to hold their first ever Warhammer Fantasy Apocalypse game at D's Hobbies.  This is the game to watch or participate in if you are enthusiastic about miniature wargaming.  COW! Members are gathering and building terrain specifically for this event.  The organizers for this event are Isaiah and Carl, and there are really getting this game together.  Please thank them when you see them!

Here is a bit of storyline Carl has going for "Battle of Karak Kadar!"

Karak Kadar, an ancient and powerful stronghold of the dwarves. Built inside a mountain itself, as the dwarves have often done in ages past. Its entrance was a mighty hall at the foot of the mountain, called the 'Anvil', gates and walls of enormous proportions on either side. There those walls have stood for ages, long in years even for the race of dwarves.

Yet a storm is coming, that even these stubborn walls may not weather. An army of chaos and destruction, swift and brutal, has swept down along the World's Edge mountains; from the East of Kislev, to the haunted reaches of Sylvania. The dwarves, ever being the stout allies of men, have been marching against the horde since its first steps near the mountains. They slowed the advance of the army, whilst the men of the Empire gathered. Although they slowed the swarm, they far from stopped it. Even when the armies of the Empire came, the forces of destruction were not done.....

- Frederick Augustine, Chronicler, Notes of Battle for Karak Kadar: Part 1

Hope to see you there! RSVP on the blog and forum and the Facebook Event page. We will have at DFM! Webmeeting on May 25th discussing details of this event and future events, everyone is invited, a mic installed on you computer is recommended if you are wanting to participate.

 

BATTLESCAPE! Free Terrain Tutorial Event on May 26th!

Fuel the War Effort!

On May 26th, Isaiah and Carl will be presenting a COW and DFM! Free Event featuring how to make affordable great looking terrain. This event is to help bolster the terrain for the Warhammer Fantasy Apocalypse game being held on Jun 2nd at D's Hobbies.

This weekend of May 12th, Carl and Isaiah will be collecting foam materials from local business like Costco, Petsmart, and Petco.  Warning: There might be some dumpster diving!  Also, they are eagerly looking for volunteers.  Check the forums and facebook with updates on material gathering.  Also, they will be gathering flock, paint and glue.  Participants are encouraged to bring supplies as well.

The terrain day, BATTLESCAPE!, will feature Multi-Tier Hills.  Our host will show you which tools to use and how to cut your tiers. How to construct and paint with ease.  The session should be less than 2 hours.  Just a note, waiting for drying between steps.  There might be a blow dryer or hear gun maybe present to speed time.  Also, short 500 to 1000 point games will be played between stages if their is enough interest.  Bring any army, and wargaming system!

Participants will walk away with one complete multi-tier hill or they can "Fuel the War Effort" by donation it to COW to improve the terrain present at D's Hobbies.

Hope to see you there!

WEBINAR!: DFM! and COW! Super Awesome Townhall Meeting for April 19th

...and there will be pie.

Just finished the FIRST ever DFM! and COW Super Awesome Townhall! It was awesome and we talked about the a few things. Here they are:

• Club Mission: To have fun and play games!
• Club Strategies:
  

1. Get new players in to wargaming! Magic the Gathering players.
2. Get the word out on events! More 'friends' on Facebook, more activity on the forums, more blog posts on blog! If you have an idea for an event post it here!
   
3. Schedule Monthly Events! Plan events for the whole year and promote an event 2 months out!
   
4. Involve more stores! Get games going at The Hive in Redmond, Mind Phase in Bend, and Legacy Gaming in Prineville.

• What YOU want out of the club! Mostly hold events and grow wargaming in Central Oregon!
  
• Events for the FUTURE! We are thinking about a Zombie Kill-team like campaign in October; a event where you bring a new game (any game really, except 40k and Fantasy) and play with anyone there in games like Warmachine, Infinity, Malifaux; and holding tournaments every three months.

We did agree to continue the meetings in order to check progress on strategies, finalize event planning, and share ideas about making the wargaming community more fun!

Thanks to everyone that showed. We are doing this again on April 19th at 7:00pm to 7:30pm on Tinychat.com through Facebook!

See ya'll next time,

Mat Lawson

DFM! Founder
