Roll Call: TGN Fundraiser

Tabletop Gaming News has been one of those sites that's really broadened my wargaming and modeling horizons over the years.  I check it constantly throughout the day waiting for the latest and greatest news to come from miniature companies around the world from the very smallest bits provider to the juggernauts of the industry.  The service they provide is invaluable to me and I suspect many around the internet.  This is where we all come in.  TGN is running a fundraiser right now to help support and expand the site, providing more of the greatness we've all enjoyed for so long, free of charge.  The best part?  They have a ton of great sponsors pitching in to help out! 

So head over to their fundraiser page to give back to a great group of guys and a service that you know you'll be using for many years to come!  If this is your first time seeing TGN, you've been left out for far too long!  As one day without them is one too many!  Give what you can and you might come away with something cool for doing something good! 

I can't express how much I love that site and what they do!  In fact I have to say I was half inspired to create this blog based on how well TGN worked!  Much thanks to Zac and crew!

Roll Call: Heroes of Armageddon

I think today is a good time to direct everyone over to the Heroes of Armageddon project.  For those who haven't seen it yet, it's a charity drive being put together by many of the same members that ran the Storm Wardens charity last year, only this time it's even bigger and crazier!

The charity has been open for a few weeks now, and there are prizes given out near every week, all you have to do is pony up a few bucks for a good cause and you have a chance at winning something really cool from a really good group of guys!  So take that soda money for the week, save a few calories by drinking some water, and give up a couple of bucks to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. 

All money is going to Doctors Without Borders, and you have a chance to win one of four armies being assembled and painted!  To find out more, read this post by the team.

So, what are you waiting for?  Go do the right thing!

Isaiah is a 3rd grade student at Spring Hill Intermediate School.  He has recently returned home after receiving a transplant for his liver, pancreas, and small bowel.  This is the second transplant Isaiah and his family have gone through.  He received an initial transplant in March of 2007 for just small bowel.  This eventually failed and had to be removed in March of 2009.  Over the next six to nine months, he will be required to travel back and forth from home to Omaha, NE.  This also requires the travel of at least one parent and takes considerable time away from work and home as the family is responsible for 100% of his daily cares.

ALL profit from this auction goes directly to his parents to pay for mounting medical and travel bills. Isaiah's dad contacted me and asked me to paint and sell some sisters of his to get the money back out of them in their time of need.  It was such a touching story there was no other option but to go all out!  A BIG thank you to Nick Rose at Bell of Lost Souls (belloflostsouls.com) for donating some MUCH needed sisters. Our list was pretty skimpy before he came along!  PLEASE keep the cause in mind when bidding and DO NOT bid unless you plan to own this army and help out this boy and his family.

The army will be packed very carefully.  I paint miniatures full time and have years of experience shipping minis.

If you've ever thought about picking up a Sisters army, you couldn't do a better than to pick this army up and help out a family in need.  This army costs over $500 in the boxes, and GMM does quality work.  Head over and check it out, maybe you'll be taken in by all the pretty pictures and do some good in the process.
