Origins 2007 Events
« on: April 01, 2007, 09:34:33 AM »
This is the list of events that has been submitted to Origins. In addition there will be plenty of room for pick-up games and challenges. The proposed painting events had to be removed as Adam (Halfbad) has had to bow out. Notice there are not many events scheduled for the evening as it has long been a tradition to go out for dinner and then come back and have unscheduled large scale games. I will try to make at least one but Napoli Villa moved from across the street from our HQ hotel to the hotel itself. This means I can eat even more as I do not have to waddle back across the road after eating some of the best Italian food I have ever had.  ;D Oh yeah - gotta mention the cheesecake - LOVE THAT CHEESECAKE  :D

I hope everyone will agree that there is something offered for just about everyone. My thanks to Southpaw, Stalker, Coldthunder, TheOneKing, and Sylvas for volunteering their time to run these events. Without you guys Origins would be Warzone and Chronopia deprived. Also, it would not be near as much fun for me. Looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting the guys and girls coming for the first time.

Excuse me.... but How else do you explain their finding the Darkness and setting it loose (besides typical Imperial greed and stupidity)?  Or the monstrous shoot-down of Capitol Air on its way to blast the Citadel to kingdom-come?

  Please explain... I am certain several Inquisitors would like to know.   ;D ;D ;) ;D ;D

Easy. Everyone was afraid of the big-bad-scarey-oogie-boogie dark planet, but only the Imperial Conquistadors had the cajones to actually go there, despite the consequences that have been greatly exaggerated. The Dark Legion is just a myth, after all.....

As for shooting down the Capitol ships, they unfortunately found themselves in the middle of a live-fire anti-aircraft drill that just so happened to be going on at precisely that time in precisely that area.

Quite tragic really....quite.

  Oh Inquisitor?  Heretic in Aisle Five...

Suuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrreeeeeeee...  sure they did.  And I imagine you have a mighty-fine bridge to sell me too.

Quite tragic really....quite.

Yeah right...  whats more tragic is the large amount of Letters the IDF is going to have to send out to a whole lotta families 'cause their supieriors were Stupid.  Are they really looking to have that many widows go to the Wolves for vengence 'cause their Clans and the IDF can't do the job?

  Sumthin' tells me that Lord H and his rabble might be getting some reinforcements... ;)

Railhead Raid is a strike force of Imperial Special Forces with fire support troops raiding a Capitol muster station full of fresh troops for the front lines in an attempt to knockout a cargo of those nasty Orcas before they can really become a nuisance...

hey Top...this game was supposed to be run twice also, but I can run it some evening for those that want to play it again...

Sylvas -
Check your PM's

Southpaw -
Your version of events is most pleasing. Of course the Dark Legions do not exist. As if there was something other than the indominatble spirit of man that could influence the course of events in this universe. We are most pleased that men of strong spirit and trust in the destiny of humanity have begun to push back the darkness of myth and legend.

Archer -
Calling on your talismans and sooth-sayers....How typical of those without the spirit to allow others to seize their destiny and mold it to their will. Have you not seen thru the charade yet? Do you not understand that the Brotherhood has enslaved you to be their obsequious slaves, providing them with sustenance and wealth as they deny you your destiny and independence. Humanity has but one hope and that is for men of courage, such as Southpaw to seize the day and free humanity from it's self-imposed servitude

Lies!  Heresy!  Fools-to dabble in realms you do not understand in search of worldly power!  Like children playing with a broken television that is still plugged in.  You will come to the Brotherhood crying when you are shocked!  Seek us now, before it is too late.

We do seek you. We seek you in the alleys, in the brothels, in the drug dens, in all the environs of Luna that you pretend to preach against but secretly long to control. We seek to expose you to the light you proclaim to shine on humanity but secretly use to blind the human populace to the machinations of your slave trade. Enthralled and subjugated by you, humanity withers and stagnates. In freedom there is truth and it is the freedom from your tyranny that brave members of the Corporations strive to bring to their brothers. Humanity has never functioned well under dictators and for a millenia you have dictated to humanity. Your repression and stagnation of humanity shall prove to be your undoing. Even now, the first patriots begin to seek that most precious of all rights - freedom. Your days are numbered and your time is nigh.

I'll personally vouch for the painting knowledge and quality of Sylvas.  He has been commissioned to add life and color to any and all of my FirstBorn Army.  He makes their armor glint, reflecting the rays of sun and even shadows the underside!

The events are all posted for Origins at www.originsgames.com!!!  You can search under minis events and then just look for anything sponsored by the Midwest Crusaders Club.  I'll try to get them posted here for easy viewing but until then you can go check them out on Origins site.
