The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation (Repost from RGH)

(Read to the bottom for some cool pictures)

 
Hell All,
 
I want to talk today about something really cool. A chance to win something. Who doesn't like winning stuff? The NOVA Open Chartable Foundation  have four fantastic armies for their charity raffles this year. All of them painted by some of the best artists in the game!  We are talking people like Dave Taylor, Gabe Dobkin, and John Stiening just to name a few. Seriously this stuff is amazing! A link to all of the charity artists can be found- here
 
Last year the foundation raised over 11,000 dollars with it's 3 raffles for Fisher House, Doctors without Borders and The Breast cancer research foundation. This year they hope to do even more for the selected organizations. A full list of the Charities can be found here
 

In  2014 four armies have been selected for raffle. Two of them are linked to one another in something called the Macragge project. As expected this pits The Scythes of Behemoth (Tyranid) vs. the Ultramarines. There is a bad to the bone Ogre army for the Fantasy lovers out there and finally something that is one of a kind- a Deathwatch (Counts as Grey Knights) army that was painted by dozens of artists! These armies will "Blow you away!"

WOW right?
 
Well anyway all you have to do to get a piece of this "history in the making" is buy some tickets! How you ask? Well it could not be easier. Just go to the raffle section of the website and pick the army or armies you want to try for. Tickets are 1.00 each and can be bought in bundles. the more you enter the better chance you have to win! Here I'll help- Just click here
 
===========================================
 
 
 

OK so at yesterdays NOVA Open build session John Stiening showed up with his Imperial Knight that is part of the Macragge project- This thing is wicked cool and would be worth the raffle ticket all by itself but guess what... It is just one cog in the wheel of that army!
 
Check it out:
 



Some of the scouts for the same army



Didn't I say the pictures were cool!
 
So in conclusion- If you like cool looking armies and/or  want to help some of the best charities out there today get some tickets. If not then you are probably looking on the wrong blog anyway... :)
 
Till next time
