The Curious Incident of the Interviewer in the Night-Time

I've just been contacted by a journalism student from Monash Churchill who wants to do some interviews and write a story about Gippsland Gamers for an assignment. He will need parental permission for those under 18 to be interviewed. I've told him to bring the permission forms with him when he comes - probably this week.

EASTER WARS

The Terrible Toads of the Swamps or Surpassing Stench have banned Easter. Bad news for the oppressed Teddy Bear Peasants. Luckily, teams of Commando Ninja Easter Bunnies are determined to see Easter comes to the swamps. By any means necessary.

The Toads in question.

Easter Wars is on this Thursday, 17th of April from 13:00-15:30.
Come along and paint up your own crack squad of Ninja Commando Easter Bunnies and battle through the Terrible Toads to deliver your cargo of eggs, using a simplified variant of the FANTICIDE rules.

• Learn how to paint your own 28mm Wargames figures.
• Learn how to lead them in combat using simple, but versatile rules.
• Take home three highly detailed Eureka Miniatures samurai rabbits and a D10 gaming die.
• Also chocolate.

The miniatures have kindly been supplied at a hefty discount by Nic Robson of Eureka Miniatures, possibly the nicest bald man in Wargames (and that's saying something!). Check out Eureka's website for other cool figures.

As always, bookings are esential via the Coal Creek website, or PH: 5655 1811.

A frenzied melee in the middle of the swamps.

But wait... there's more!

On Sunday 20th, to coincide with the annual Coal Creek Egg Hunt, we'll be running FREE participation games of Easter Wars from 10:00. Come along and experience the fast-paced thrills of Ninja Bunny Commando Combat - you don't get to keep the figures, but you DO get to keep the chocolate and the rules.

And you don't need to book.

See you there!

Where have all our eggs gone?

Patience furry freinds -we shall bring them to you!

All eggs will be CRUSHED!!

Peg Flight rules released.

The rules for Peg Flight, first used for our Air Pirates session have now been released online. The PDF contains the complete rules, plus a craft session explaining how to build your own planes, ground targets and clouds.

Easter Holiday Program: AIR PIRATES!

 The Air Pirates session is almost upon us, and there are still a few spaces open! Come on down to build your own fleet of three Air Pirate planes from pegs, paddle-pop sticks and other common craft materials, before joining in battle with your fellow pirates for the ultimate honour of destroying the Imperial Zeppelin and looting it's fantastic treasures!

Build your own trio of dashing Air Pirate planes! 

Lead them in battle and then take them home afterwards!

Bookings essential via Coal Creek or 03 5655 1811.

GG finds a path...

Well, it took a while because Milsims never seems to bother to restock things, but I finally got the Pathfinder Beginner Box (by going to Mind Games instead!) along with the Reaper Bones figures for the pre-generated characters included. Like the Star Wars Edge of the Empire game, this one teaches you as you play, so we'll certainly be having a shot at this in the near future.

Club not running, April 3rd.

It's Parent Teacher night/We know he's not to bright...
What? You have a different song in your head on parent teacher night?

Due to an inconvenient clash with Leongatha Secondary's parent/teacher interview night, Gippsland Gamers will not run on April 3rd.
Sigh.

Painting session Thursday 20th

Example painted figures from Eureka Miniatures website. Ours will not look quite like this. Or even much like this really.

In preperation for the Easter Holiday Program we will spend part of this Thursday's session painting the Terrible Toads of the Swamps or Surpassing Stench and some of the Ninja Commando Easter Bunnies. All paints, burshes etc. will be provided, and since the figures were purchased with club funds, all paintists will be able to lay claim to some of them for later use! Huzzah!
I have developed quick and easy painting techniques for both types of figure, so no experience with the brush will be needed to take part.
