Hello fellow Gamers,
Im writing due to some very exciting news. The Warrior Lodge has been selected by Warlord Games to recieve a supply drop to help with the promotion of their new game from the Author Rick Priestley.

Beyond the Gates of Antares thanks to Adam L Dobbyns and his diligent work for us and the silky smooth letter co-ordination of Jonathon PowerHorse Preece!

I will get the Demo set built up and painted for people to have practice games to test Beyond the Gates of Antares at Club day's.

A few of us have decided on our armies and picked up the very detailedRule Books.

Why play?
Put Simply, "Rick Priestley"! If you have grown up in gw games it was likely due to Rick! This is his new game Beyond Gates of Antares. If that is not enough to convince the game has a great game mechanic very similar to Bolt Action but set in a Sci Fi Future. This allows for a deeper level of strategy between your unit movements which allows adapting to respond to your opponent during each round. Pinning a unit actually means something and can impact significantly even though you may not destroy the unit you can put it out of the game.

Each of the races has a completely different look, play style and feel, meaning every game is going to be different.

Which army?
Im going with Ghar. They look cool and based on the lower model count, bigger models and heavily offensive style. They look a little like Tau but inside are tiny little alien dudes with a bad attitude!

Ive included here in my post a link which describes the different forces:

The games is very cheap to get into compared to GW for example.

Starter set's around $150 giving everything you need to play the game. i got a bargain on Ebay for a Ghar set for $88.50 posted.

Individual army forces are £50-£60, so under $100 to give you a 500 point force. I will organise an event early in the new year to introduce gamers with events later next year at around 1000 points.

We have also been given a access code to get 10% off from Warlord Games.

Ill also post in the comments below a Link to join the Beyond the Gates of Antares facebook page aswell as their description in case I have not already convinced you!
