Games
DAy has come and gone. Once again
the LVGC made a spectacular showing.
We had 4 tables this year with a
total of 16 club volunteers. In
addition, one of our club Outriders
also attended and worked one of
GW's Warhammer 40k tables.
The LVGC
has certainly made a name for itself
amongst the western games clubs.
We had numerous friends from other
clubs swing by to check out the
games. We were flattered to hear
that many of them were inspired
by our tables last year to create
new and amazing tables themselves.
This was evident by walking through
the clubs section. Overall I would
say the club games were definitely
on-par with any of the Games Workshop
tables.
Squiggoth
Stampede
Some of you may remember this game
from last year. Probably our most
popular table, this game is an all
ages free-for-all.
Squiggoth
Stampede is a loud Noisy FUN game.
Ork racers from different clans
struggle to control Great stupid
Hairy Squiggoths in a race around
the track. The winner is the first
Clan to complete a lap in either
direction! and claim the coveted
Squig Cup! The rules are easy enough
for an Ork to understand and the
Squiggoths are suitably massive
and suffer from a rich diet! Prizes
will be provided for the winner
of each race.

Space
Hulk
Another game from last year, we
could not resist bringing this monster
back one more time. Definitely the
most labor intensive table we've
ever run, kudos goes out to the
club members who were chained to
this one all day.
Players
take their Space Marine Terminators
into a drifting Space Hulk in hopes
of cleansing it from the menacing
genestealers that are wont to inhabit
such vessels. Soon they realize
the infestation is much worse than
they first suspected. Players who
aren’t on top of the game
could get quickly overrun by these
terrible clawed beasts!

Vern Harlow set-up for the
next game.

Stompa
Smash
Brainchild of Nick Tompkins (creator
of Squiggoth Stampede), Stompa Smash
was alot of fun. Slightly more complicated
rules means this one was geared
more towards older kids than Squiggoth
Stampede, but it was still a blast.
Orky
Mayhem and Madness – on the
Ork held world of BilongaUrgaz the
Ork penchant for loud and noisy
vehicles has reached a fever pitch.
Clan teams of Mekaniaks have banded
together to build Really Big Kans!
Or Stompa’s as they are known.
The Klans try to out do each other
in demolition matches in the Morka
Bowl arena. Last Klan standing is
the Champion. Quick no holds barred
free for all battle of Ork mayhem
and destruction. Each player controils
a Stompa representing one of the
Ork Klans and strives to survive
to be the Last Greenskin standing.
Nick Tompkins really gets
excited about Stompa Smash.

Trollslayer's
Doom
Our first Fantasy based game, Trollslayer's
Doom rounded out the LVGC line-up.
Four
teams rush their trollslayers headlong
into a dungeon fraught with traps
and monsters to prove their worthiness
and die an honorable death. Dying
in battle with monsters gives the
team honor points, the more spectacular
monsters the higher the points.
The team with the highest points
give honor back to their clan.
