The Start of the Journey from nothing to an Old World adventure at Black Dragon Miniatures in Hinckley

 

So after reading through some old White Dwarfs and reminiscing about my youth, I thought it would be a great idea to help build the community in our FLGS to offer a big discount to four lucky hobbyists to start a journey into the Old World as I had done back in the late 1980`s early 1990`s.

So here is the thing, its a tale of 4 gamers, I am after committed individuals who want to get into the Old World and can commit, build, paint and play some games over the next 4 months.

In return for there commitment we will give them a huge 20% discount on their in store purchases, and this will also include direct only items, except expert kits (however these can be purchased within normal budget if required).

So here is the plan, each gamer will have to select a faction either standard or legacy and purchase £100`s worth of models in month 1 to get started, they will have a 2 week window to decide and purchase there first force, as the Tale will start 1st September, they will need to build and paint this starting force by the end of September along with submitted their own thoughts, challenges and WIP pictures for us to post here.  Failure will incur a penalty of 10% discount if the first challenge is failed.

Month 2 will see the army grow, by spending no more than £50 on extra units to flesh out the force, with again the same conditions being built, painted and write up by the end of October.

Month 3 will see the army grow, by spending no more than £50 on extra units to flesh out the force, with again the same conditions being built, painted and write up by the end of November.

Example below

Month 1 I decided on a High Elf Army, so I bought the High Elf Battalion Box at a mighty £115.00 but with the store discount for the Tale of 4 Gamers it came in at £92 and £8 under budget, which I can carry over to next month.  But this would give me a good core of infantry and 2 chariots.

Month 2 I need some characters so went for 2 eagle claw bolt throwers at £35.50 and the cool High Elf Lord pack at £27.50 coming in slightly over budget at £50.40 with the discount, leaving me £7.60 under budget for the challenge.

Month 3 I knew I needed a wizard but with this being the last month I had some big decisions to make with my budget of £57.60.  So went with a pack of two mages at £27.50 and a pack of Silver Helms at £40.00 with the discount applied this came in at a cost of £54.00 leaving me coming under budget by £3.60 under budget a completing my force for the upcoming battles.

So lets see who wants to take the plunge!!
