Privateer Press is an awesome company in terms of providing prize support for Monsterpocalypse. We’ve signed up for four I Chomp NY related events. If you haven’t already, please sign up on their Privateer Events website and then visit Battlegrounds’ venue page to pre-register for the event. If we get at least six players pre-registered two weeks prior to an event’s start date we’ll get limited edition prize support! All players that pre-register will receive a limited edition “Shadow” unit (it has the same stats as the unit of the same name plus cloak) that you cannot in boosters. Additionally, if you win the most Monsterpocalypse games that day you will be the proud owner of a limited edition Mega Form! See below for a list of the dates of the upcoming I Chomp NY events and the prizes you can sign up for and win! Monsterpocalypse events are all part of Wargame Club and the games you play also count towards your Wargame Club ranking. We play Monsterpocalypse every Saturday but the dates below are the dates that prize support will be given out. You have to show up to get the goodies so mark the dates on your calendars!

I Chomp NY, the first expansion for Monsterpocalypse, has landed at Battlegrounds. Monster boosters contain either one monster with its Ultra form OR two buildings. Unit boosters contain five unit figures. There are only four new buildings in this set but they’re all modeled after iconic New York City landmarks. Each faction also has two new monsters and four new units. Also in stock is the official I Chomp NY Strategy Guide which comes with a new map!

Battlegrounds has Player’s Handbook Power Cards for all classes. Here’s what Wizards.com says about this great add-on for D&D:

Player’s using Player’s Handbook Power Cards don’t need to crack open a rulebook every time they cast a spell—all the crucial information is right in front of their eyes.

Each and every class power appearing in the Player’s Handbook has its own card. Simply select the cards for your character’s powers and you’re ready to play!

Each deck of 100 cards includes all the powers from Player’s Handbook for one of the eight classes featured in the book, plus a few blank cards for players to use for other powers.

The display box includes sixteen decks of power cards: two decks apiece for the cleric, fighter, paladin, ranger, rogue, warlock, warlord, and wizard.

Battlegrounds will now be carrying the core lines for Warhammer, Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40,000. Battlegrounds can also order in anything produced by Games Workshop and get it within 3 business days of placing your order.

Product will arrive in three waves. The first wave (Warhammer 40,000) is already here! The second wave will be Lord of the Rings and the full range of paints. The final wave will be Warhammer itself.

Monday nights are now Paint or Die Nights! Bring in your models to assemble, convert or paint with other Games Workshop enthusiasts. Use your own paints and glues or you can pay a $5.00 fee to use what is available at Battlegrounds.

Tuesday nights are now dedicated to playing Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000 and Lord of the Rings at Battlegrounds. Your models do not have to be painted. BUT you will get a special benefit in the games you play for every fully painted unit you have that your opponent doesn’t!

And Games Workshop games are now included in games you can play for War Game Club on Saturdays! Keep your eyes open for a new Blood Bowl league starting soon at Battlegrounds! Get your fantasy football on!
