The Nova Open Charitable Foundation has a 10th Annirsery Space Marine army that was created specifically for this years Nova Open. The models were professionally painted up in a new paint scheme and are part of this years Summer Raffles.

Now GW has gone and made them Canon and is (or will be) making them an official part of the Adeptus Astartes. That is simply amazing. You could even win this army professionally painted for the Summer Raffles, and the first of it’s kind.

Mike Brandt on Facebook.
“What if GW added this year’s charity army to its official canon?”

Just a heads up, Mike wouldn’t post this if it was not happening. Personal experience with Mike and his family has shown them to be class acts. If you don’t know… Mike runs the Nova Open and his mother runs the NOCF charity. He is also very much responsible for a ton of playtesting and his roles in the Kill Team rules.

There is a new video out showing off the Warlord Titan from the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation. This gives a great overall view of the Titan that you can win for Charity by simply picking up a few tickets. It only takes one to win each raffle and you do not need to be present to win. Watch on Natfka

Work on the project continues. Several new pictures have been added to the Photo Gallery above.

Today’s Featured 2017 Charity Model:

Jacques De Molay was the 23rd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and on Friday, 13 October 1307, Molay and sixty of his Templar brother knights were arrested by order of the French King, Philip IV; they were all charged with heresy, (I’m looking in your direction Sons of Horus). One such charge against Molay and his men were that the cord worn by the neophyte Templar’s day and night was consecrated by wrapping it around an idol in the form of a human head with a great beard, and that this idol was adored with…Wait! What?
An idol in the form of a human head?
Am I the only one seeing the connection here? Was there some truth to this charge?

How do you explain this then:

Jacques de Molay
(Painted by Roman Lappat of Massive Voodoo)

 

I’m sorry, did you say…Voodoo?

Seriously! Do I need to draw you all a picture?

 

A cord wrapped in a human head with a great beard? A bust of Grandmaster de Molay? The same man who placed a curse on King Philip IV, his family, and Pope Clement the V? Did you know that all of these people died within years of de Molay’s pronounced curse, (Some in less than a year of its proclamation)? And yet this bust…or shall we say head…is painted by a man from “Massive….Voodoo“? Each of these people had a V in their name.  Voodoo starts with a…wait for it…wait a bit more…just a bit now…V.

Need we say more?

 

This raffle is in support of:

Doctors without Borders / Medecins sans Frontieres

What’s the difference between a mage and a witch?

Our mage floats! But, what else floats?

Bread, apples, very small rocks, yes, even cider! Other things that float: great gravy, cherries, mud, churches, lead and…a duck!  <Dun Dun Duuun!>

So logically, if this:

Reaper Miniatures, Floating Mage

[Painted by Patrick Chambers]

…weighs the same as a duck…it’s made of wood, and therefore…

A witch!

There’s only one way to find out if our Reaper Floating Mage is actually a mage and not a witch, and that’s to purchase tickets for it, win, then, after receiving it, weigh it to see if it weighs the same as a duck*.  See more pictures and purchase tickets here.

Purchase tickets or we will send some ‘knights’ to come and indict you for witchcraft.  You’ve been warned.

Jake has been digitally sculpting for a while now, and his work can be found on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DarkWolfStudios/
Nice side note: Jake, who lives in Tasmania, was one of the first NOCF raffle winners in 2013!
