It’s amazing to think that it’s been less than a year since
Vanguard was released at retail. In that relatively short space of time we’ve
released seven warbands (Nightstalkers, Basileans, Northern Alliance, Abyssals,
Dwarfs, Forces of Nature and Goblins), an equipment deck and held a sold-out
tournament here at Mantic HQ.

However, that’s really only the beginning of the Vanguard
story. In the months to come we’ll be releasing the Ice & Iron supplement,
featuring new campaign play and updated unit stats, alongside the new Undead
faction. We’ve also got the Trident Realm release and our second sold out
tournament (32 players, no less) at Mantic HQ in November. It’s all going
rather swimming – and we’re just referring to the Trident Realm!

Now cast your mind back to the launch of Vanguard and you’ll
remember that we produced a serious of My Warband, My Story blogs. These blogs
charted the progress of Mantic staff as they built and painted their warbands
(or didn’t, in the case of Dave).

In typical hobby fashion we all changed and swapped as time progressed too! Martin started with Northern Alliance, then moved on to Dwarfs and eventually ended up with a Nightstalkers faction. Rob cracked on with Abyssals, then decided he should do Trident Realm and finally stayed true to his greenskin roots with a goblin warband.

As we enter the next few months of Vanguard releases, we
really want YOU – yes you, reading this blog – to get involved with your
Vanguard hobby progress. We’re looking for six players from four gaming clubs
or stores to produce a series of My Club/Store, My Story blogs! That’s right,
you could be telling the world about your Vanguard games and gangs!

We want to chart the story of players receiving their
warbands, building and painting their minis and then dabbling with their first
games. In fact, it would be great to see the progress of a full campaign too
and hear about how characters progress… or get killed in truly spectacular
fashion.

As part of this, we’ll send the four clubs/stores enough warband
starters and boosters for each of the players, along with the rulebooks and
dice required to get playing. Yes, YOU dear reader, could get everything you
need to start playing Vanguard at your club.
