I assaume that you mean that nids are the Attackers right?

Thanks Calgar.

Just to clarify for everyone,...
This is a Brian Horton sponsored event. and is now sanctioned by the O-Zone gaming club as well.

(Despite initial procedural obstacles the O-Zone administrators look forward to a good showing & hopefully the begining of better promotional support for the O-Zone club in the days to come.)

Stratagems and Prizes Added.


THIS IS NOW AN O-ZONE GAMING CLUB EVENT AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE OVERLORDS.

I must protest

With a battle of this magnitude, the veil between reality and the warp will be weakened and this will allow the Daemons to arrive and reach there magnificent, glorious HAVOC!!!!! upon both sides!!!!



Just a suggestion.

Appreciate the suggestion but everyone is trying to stop the bugs from taking the planet, even Chaos in all of its glory is no match for the Hive Mind.

Now thats the idea iv been waiting for my bugs are with u brian

This sounds like it should be a great battle. Will try to make it if I can. Is there a date you must sign up by?

No date limit but at this time there are only 6 Defender Spots Left and many Attacker spots left.

Horton

I have to dissagree with you. The Hive Mind is small and insignificant in caparison to the magnitude and beauty of Slaanesh. She has an entire galaxy of sin at her command.

However......

We can not allow the utter distruction of a planet at the hands of the bugs. We must sustaian the human life that resides here for they are our power.

I will be there, I hope

WE still have a few spots open for defenders and still some bug spots left.

Filling up fast.

According to my Calculations I have only 3 Defender spots left and 6 Attacker Slots left.

If you want to sign up I suggest you do it now!!!

I need a final roll call of who is coming because during my game last a good amount of people said they were then some said they were no and on my 2 hours of sleep my brain got confused admittedly. I currently have in:

Defender:
Chris
Eric (confirmed)
Keebler
Harry
Nick
Brian M
Christian
another Harry


Defenders
Little John
Mark
A mystery guest ( ok so I have his email but there is no name from out of town)
