Send Marshal Laeroth to Nova Open!

Hello there!  First off, I have to thank everyone for their support over the past couple years.  Its has meant a great deal to me knowing that my efforts have helped many of you get better at the game.  That is all I've ever wanted from this website.  We're well on our way to building a strong competitive community for the Black Templars and it is thanks to you guys.  Without the emails, the comments on the blog, the critiques, encouragement, voiced support, and even messages on Facebook, Implausible Nature would not be what it is today.  All my contributing members deserve as much credit as I do.  We've got a bright future ahead of us!

Now, to the meat of the subject.  Recent IRL expenses have caused my savings (money) to cease to exist.  Those funds were going to be used to get me to Nova Open 2011 to represent the competitive Black Templars community.  I was really looking forward to going, but alas, I'm not sure that I'll be able to make the needed money to buy plane tickets and pay for the hotel in a month.  So several readers suggested that I create a donation button.  I was iffy about it because I feel bad taking money from my readers, but to be honest, my intense desire to attend this tournament caused me to relent.  There already has been an out-pouring of support and I truly appreciate it everyone!

So here is the deal:  Below this entry, you'll find a Paypal donation button that is linked to my verified account.  By clicking that button, you'll be brought to a website in which you can make a donation to send me to Nova Open.  I will not spend any money received until I have sufficient funds to buy the plane tickets and pay for my hotel (or other arrangements).  If for some reason I'm not able to attend the tournament due to insufficient funds, I will refund all donations to the persons from whom they came.  I will not keep a cent if I don't make it out to Nova Open.  There is zero obligation to donate.  But every little bit helps!  Thank you all very much in advance and I hope that if I do make it to Nova Open, I can do our amazing Chapter justice!

I couldn't donate much, but I can't make it to Nova this year myself, (no army, no money) and I'd rather see you go anyway, so I thought I'd do what I could. I'd support this site either way, you're doing a good thing here.

Every little, tiny bit helps the cause. I appreciate every cent! :)

I do my best to provide an excellent resource for players, even though what I say may destroy some hopes and dreams. But at least they won't be losing/wasting money on stuff that isn't very good. :(

Well, at least I didn't paint them all.

ROFL!

Remember, I had bought two of them (plus the AoBR one) before the FAQ came out and changed the way things worked. Right before my Templars hit the table for the first time...

I do admit, I've added two more AoBR, but that was when I bought a double set of just the Marine side for a discount.

I ended up having to buy more Land Speeders and Terminators after the FAQ.

And don't feel too bad, so far it is a toss up between one or maybe two Dreads hitting the ground for my 'Ard Boyz list. I think that might be depending on whether or not I work out how many elite THDC Terminator squads I want, one or two. To go with the pair of THDC Terminator Command squads...
