40K NARRATIVE
Defense of the District//Descent on the District

 

Custom Narrative Bases - This month sees the release of custom limited edition NOVA Open scenic bases tied to this year's Narrative Event. These bases reflect the Narrative's theme of a battle for the fate of Washington, DC. At present we are offering advance purchase of sets of 40mm and 60mm bases on which to mount your larger and monstrous models. In addition to being memorable collectors' items, these bases will qualify to earn you thematic points bonuses if you have a unit based upon them at the Narrative event. You can also earn these points through creatively basing, painting or converting a unit or monster/dreadnought on your own to the theme of the Narrative.  Check these bases out at the NOVA Open's store! ( More Cool Information?  Follow Me . . .)

 

MONUMENT BUILD  
Join our Monument Build Team!

The Monument Build for the NOVA 40K Narrative event is off to an ambitious start.  Construction has begun on the DC Monument and Memorial centerpieces. The Washington Monument, WWI, Lincoln, Jefferson and Vietnam Veteran War Memorials, American Indian and Air and Space Museum, and the Reflecting Pool are being designed and built by our wonderful volunteers. Each volunteer is creating their model using their own ideas and experiences. This will be a great representation of how the NOVA was built and what it stands for.

 

If you are interested in being part of this exciting team, please email novaopen@gmail.com

Join us at our March Terrain Build Events

NOVA is now self-sufficient on gaming boards, thanks to volunteer felting in January.  In February, staff came together to create NOVA sideboards - which will be available at every gaming table for staging armies!

Beginning in March, our Terrain Build days will focus on TERRAIN ... 250 pieces to self-sufficiency!  We need every staff member to join us on March 10 and March 24.

Active volunteers are essential to the success of The 2012 NOVA Open.  Join in to help us have another successful month!   We have the hardest working staffers we could every hope for ~ at builds and at play!!
