Special Thanks to Mike Brandt and the NOVA Open for hosting the following fundraiser. Please sign up to participate – first come/first served. Games of choice will be 40K (limited to 32 players) and Malifaux (limited to 16 players). Donations will support the NOCF and Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Mike writes, “Back in 2009, the NOVA Open got its start with a 40k tournament in a park, hosting 32 players across 4 rounds. Two years ago, we hosted another one of these in a backyard in Vienna, hosting 32 players in a more laid back 3-round setting. We’ll be bringing this BBQ fundraiser back again this year, on July 18, and adding Malifaux.  So, clear your calendars! The event will be hosted in McLean, VA.

Grilled dogs and burgers/chips/tasty beverages sold to further support event. Cover will be planned and provided in case of rain. For an idea of what to expect, check out coverage of the last one by Bob Roda, who drove down from CT to attend: Blood, Skulls and Fire!

The NOCF ran into several delays launching its new website, so we’re going with what we have – and what you’re familiar with.  The above slider, our artist drop down menu, and our Works In Progress 2015 page have been updated with all of our amazing 2015 NOCF Artists. Our 2015 army page is currently under construction.

The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation will donate funds from the Man Eaters of the Great Maw raffle and the two Forge World Models (Contemptor Dreadnought and The Great Unclean One to The Fisher House Foundation. The Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment.
