Red face 40kTerran 07' Year End REPORT



"It is with our bare hands that we shall forge together the strength and will of the Imperium. "


I would first like to say to all - Thanks for the support you have given to this site thus far. We have made it through year one and now venturing to year two. We have seen a large amount of growth to our site and we can only still see further growth and expansion! So I have brought to unveil to thee the XMAS gifts in which I would like to give back to the community for being here for me and supporting the big E and making 40kTerra the successful online community as we are today. This is still yet the first step to our site but this can only mark the year of 08' to be even better and a chance for 40kTERRA to make more NOISE.

We are here to show the world that 40kTERRA is a community for gamers, POWERED BY GAMERS. It is through every member and contribution that has allowed us to be where we are.

Thanks again all for making this happen.

The Big 'E' Ikarus

Atmosphere (how well the mini works in it's fluff eg, 40K universe)

Overall Skill (this is the main one, as this is all the above put together and a score is given to how well the painter has put it all together)

If you would like to enter or have any questions, let me know in this thread. If you have any ideas on improving something, then please pm myself or Burnwitme and we can have a look at it.




NEW SECTIONS:

BATTLEFIELD 40k:
Click Here fore more Information: BF40k BATTLEFIELD

Battlefield 40k is essentially is simply a challenge game of numerically and statistically refined warfare. This is practically 'Math-Hammer'. Battlefield40k bolsters members who make up army lists and challenges another individual. Then spectators will look at the lists and decide who they think will win the battle. Spectators of war then analyze both the scenario of the Battlefield and the Army lists of both generals and state their point of views and vote for the general who they think will win the battle.

Essentially this is:

ARMY LIST v. ARMY LIST BATTLES
