Congratulations!

Congratulations to all the tournament winners at Coulee Carnage 2012! We will soon be posting more information, including prize winners, stories of battle, and more.

A big congratulations to Bobby Hoff of Lethbridge, Alberta, the winner of the Coulee Carnage and Worthy Painting army raffle! Thank you so much to everyone who participated; from the raffle alone we raised over $2200 in the battle to hammer out Multiple Sclerosis. In total, we estimate that we raised about $5000, well over our original goals. We couldn't have done it without the amazing support of our wonderful sponsors.

We will crunch our numbers and post the exact amount we raised for the MS Society of Canada soon. We will also post pictures, videos, and more.

Thanks for all your support!

Coulee Carnage 2012: It's Time

The event has arrived! We are excited to be setting up, getting ready, and preparing for the battle to 'Hammer out MS'. There are some amazing prizes lined up. With those, along with our silent auction and swag bag items, it doesn't  look like anyone is going to be leaving empty handed!

The raffle will continue until noon on Sunday (cash only) and the draw will be Sunday evening. We have raised over $1600, of which 100% goes to the MS Society of Canada. Thank you all for your amazing support!

That's it for now - time to go finish getting set up. We look forward to seeing some great sportsmanship, painting, and good times all around. For those of you who couldn't come this year - we look forward to seeing you next year!

So Close!

Well, we are only 10 days away from the biggest, best, and possibly only, Warhammer Tournament to support the MS Society of Canada: Coulee Carnage 2012.

Great news - so far the raffle has raised over $1600 for the MS Society of Canada. We would like to raise $2000 with the raffle overall, so lets buy those tickets!

So, we are almost there! It is getting pretty exciting - in the meantime, buy up those raffle tickets before time is up and we will see you soon!

Oooooohhh... fancy stuff is in!

It's always exciting when we get a package for Coulee Carnage.  Today's was particularly interesting!  Thanks to Gemma Noon, the wonderful and lovely lady who runs the Chestermere Public Library and is responsible for the Black Library Expo coming up (http://www.chestermerepubliclibrary.com/blacklibraryexpo) we recieved a whole schwack of signed goodies!  Today we got:

From Dan Abnett:  Signed print covers for Thunder and Steel, Age of Darkness, Ravenor Returned, Prospero Burns, Titanicus, The Lost (DROOOOOL!), 2 copies of Malus Darkblade and an actual copy straight off the book of Brothers of the Snake!

Nicky Kyme was great enough to send signed print covers of Salamander, Firedrake, Nocture (all of his trilogy) and of the Fall of Damnos.

And that wasn't it!  We also recieved 4 tickets for the Black Library Expo to give away at Coulee Carnage.  Gemma also sent us audio book versions of Galaxy in Flames, Prospero Burns and A Thousand Sons.

Man oh man, there are going to be some happy nerds on June 23rd and 24th.

And please, check out the link and get tickets for the Black Library Expo.  It is going to be amazing and you can even meet us in person!

How are we raising money?

Well.. let us tell you!

Raffle:  Our biggest fundraising push has been the raffle we are holding in partnership with Worthy Painting.  100% of proceeds raised will be going to the MS Society.  As of this article we are at over 1200 dollars raised!

Entry Fees:  An undetermined portion of every registration fee will go towards the MS Society

Buy a Re-Roll:  We are allowing every player to buy re-rolls during their games.  It will be $1 per reroll.  A player can reroll once die, once per each players turn.   Potentially one game of fantasy raises 24 dollars and there will be 36 games in total!

Concession Stand:  ALL profits from the concession stand will go towards the MS Society

Silent Auctions:  We will have a number of silent auctions throughout the day with all money raised going to the MS Society.  Up for auction as it stands:  A Forgeworld Chaos Dragon, a bag from Battlefoam thanks to Ohiohammer, Chaos Dwarves from Showcase Comics, signed Black Library items and a whole bunch more!

Donations:  Players and visitors will be able to give straight cash donations if they like as well.   Though, really, you might as well enter the raffle and possibly get an army out of the deal!

So as you can see, we are looking at a wide range of ways to raise money for this great cause!  Hope to see you there!

I will be chatting about Coulee Carnage, multiple sclerosis, our sponsors and our amazing raffle with Worthy painting (http://www.worthypainting.com/cms/ ). I hope everyone visits their web sites and shows them the same support they have shown us.

RAFFLE! Worthy Painting and Coulee Carnage team up to Hammer MS!

Hey guys!

The big news we have for you is we are teaming with Worthy Painting to do a HUGE raffle! Worthy Painting is a superb and very well known UK based commission painting service. On their staff is Alistair Armes, a Golden Daemon winner. They known the plight of MS, the monumental amount of effort it takes to live with it, and have jumped on board to help us out! They are painting up a starter Blood Angels army, around 1000pts, with some special one off characters that are going to be mindblowingly amazing. Alistair himself will be painting this special miniature himself, so it will be nothing but best in the world quality.

You can WIN this army by entering a simple raffle! Tickets will be $10 Canadian Dollars for the first ticket and $1 for every ticket after, payable with cash, on paypal to couleecarnage@gmail.com, or through our paypal button on the "How to Pay" section of this website. Once you've paid the initial 10 dollars, every ticket will be one dollar, even if you paid that ten dollars a month previous! It's such a small amount for a chance to win this awesome Blood Angels army.

EVERY CENT we make on this is going directly to the MS Society of Canada . We are keeping absolutely none of it! When you donate, we will send you your "lot" number. On June 24th, immediately proceeding the 40k portion of Coulee Carnage, we will use random.org to randomly draw a number... that number being the winner of this stellar army!

Multiple Sclerosis is a cause we believe HUGELY in supporting. Duane Truant, helping organize the event has MS and it caused him to go blind in one eye. My sister in law has it. Worthy Painting is helping because it has struck someone in their family. The outpouring of support has been boggling and you can only help by pitching in a few dollars. If we can get everyone who reads this to tell everyone they know who might want this army, to get everyone they know... etc, etc, etc just imagine the donation the warhammer community can give towards Multiple Sclerosis research! You definitely want to be a part of this!

PLEASE feel free to email us at couleecarnage@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding this whatsoever.
