The battle for Het begins...


This weekend all manner of war and destruction was let loose when Legends Games in Cupertino CA kicked off the first round of games in its new "Battle for Het" campaign tournament. It was a full house with standing room only as players from all over the Bay Area duked it out to claim first blood in bout one of the CTF tournament. We saw a lot of SM/IG lists but I spied a few Xenos in the mix as well. While this may not be the biggest game on the block it certainly marks a turning point in our development, as the series is a co opted by BH's own brother Ian.




So if your looking to work on your small game (lists limited to0 750pts and there's no entry fee) or just have fun, feel free to drop in on Friday or Saturday morning and sign up. Drop ins are always welcome (its a cumulative point system) and we are always looking to help new or returning players get back into the hobby. Both myself and Ian will be on hand to answer questions or offer help with getting set up if need be. If you have any questions or want to sign up for a game in advance email us at BayHammer@gmail.com


Cheers

GW Store closing: The resolution.

Alright so awhile back I brought you a shocking tail of poor management and dramatic exits. Now I bring you the actual series of events that led to the firing of the entire sales team and the store closing.

From what I have managed to piece together the story goes somthing like this. The manager at the oakridge store had for some time been embezeling money in the form of petty cash and merchendise (yea stealing space marines to line his pockets) and the final total of his devious gains ammounted to some where around $15,000. So loss prevention flanked by the spooks from corporate (actually flew in from England) came in and presumably took the store manager in the back room and bolter whipped him tell he confessed and then went about firing the whole sales team as corporate tradition dictates in this situation.

Well there you have it, not as dramatic as a mass walk out but still shocking non the less. The moral of the story, dont line your pockets with misfortune and lies, or dont friggin bite the hand the feeds you.

Apocalypse Video

Well I have been rather busy slaving away both at the store and on various other projects that are currently sucking away my free time. So for now I give you a brief compilation of some of the battles we have had over at Legends in Cupertino, shot by the talented Mr Aron, who up to this point did not inform me of the videos existence. Look out for more battle reps in the near future
