AmmoBunker Newsletter October 2009
As the UK walks the inevitable path from summer into the impending cloak of winter, skipping autumn as it doesn’t really do much other than put off what we know is coming, it is time for another Ammobunker Newsletter.
Even as civilisation slowly descends into squalor and madness our little community sits cocooned in metaphorical concrete and steel, wry observers to the collapse of western society. The markets may fall, bombs may descend, the populace may rise up but AB shall continue, dependable, immovable, immutable AB. While others give in to desperation and regret we shall stand tall, mocking those around us and jabbing the rotting corpse of humanity with a stick so see what creatures are eating it from within.
You may have guessed that this newsletter is not being brought to you by SC this month. He is currently organising and packing with his start at University next week. As such you will have to do without the innuendo and slurs on “Tepoks Mother” this month.
Which reminds me, a number of our members recently received their exam results, and while acknowledging the fact exams were a lot harder in my day and now are barely worth the paper they are written on I would like to take the time to congratulate everyone on their results. Except those who may have failed, obviously. Congratulating them would be a bit pointless, would be insulting probably and certainly condescending, “An F? Oh well done you. Are McDonalds recruiting?”
Anyway, enough chit chat, I have a newsletter to write.
The Ammobunker and the 1st Company Veterans.
This year AB did not take part in Games Day, the reasons have been discussed before so I won’t go in to them again. For us to take part again we looked into the possibility of starting up our own Gaming Club. However this wasn’t a very practical route to take due to us being an online community first and foremost with members spread far and wide.
But between us and the chaps at the 1st Company Veterans Gaming Club we have come up with a way forward.
I am happy to announce that Ammobunker and the 1st Company Veterans have formed an affiliation; this will in future allow AB to take part in events such as GD under the umbrella of the 1CV but still under the AB name. In effect our participation in GD would appear just as last year with us running our own tables under as much AB bunting as we would want (or could afford).
This will have little impact on AB as a forum however, other than a notice on the Portal page informing people of the affiliation the only difference will be a new events sub forum where the 1CV can post information about their club and the events they are running.
Other than that AB will continue as before unchanged.
Admin Changes.
Two of our Admin staff have taken the decision to step down to Honour Guard.
Both Scrubout and The Dark Sarge are in the situation where their education commitments mean their modelling time has to be put on the back burner, this includes the time they have to put into AB.
Both Scrubby and DS have been with AB since the beginning and played a role in starting the forum up. I would like to thank them for the time and effort they have put in and hope they continue to contribute in whatever way they can in their roles of Honour Guard.
AmmoBunker Inquisitors
We still have a few Inquisitors left, if interested in purchasing Private Message Jasevx and he will be able to tell you what is still available.
Pictures of the model are available here:

The Open Bash:
"Time is a ticking" as people often say. Who these people are and why they talk like that I do not know. What I do know though is that next years Open Bash is down as 27th of March 2010 at Warhammer World. So decide what army you are bringing and get cracking in building them. This includes you both you El D and you Antipope, we are watching.
