If your looking to re-live the golden days of the hobby, when a new issue of the White Dwarf meant more than it does now, SN battle reports is for you!
SN battle reports makes some of the best bat reps out there – and are bringing their gaming passion to you. Here is what SN is all about:
SN Battle Reports kicked off last year as a side project between two friends in a local wargaming club on the British Rock of Gibraltar. The premise was to recreate the feel of the classic 40K White Dwarf battle reports of yore and bring this style to an audience familiar with them, but also introduce newer gamers to the style who perhaps have only experienced battle reports as Youtube videos. The focus of SN is on artistic quality, be it our tables, the terrain we use, the models themselves and the narratives that accompany each report, all captured by high end photography.
The team then became 5-strong: we share duties but each have our designated roles, Tech-Priest, Pict Recorder, Artificer, Librarian, Chapter Master. We wanted the heart of the project to lie in the aesthetics of 40K, which is what attracted us all to the hobby in the first place. For this we invited some of the most accomplished hobbyists in our area to submit their armies to our treatment. The results so far have been inspiring for us. We have met some great people with some truly magnificent armies and made strong links with other gaming communities in Spain and in the UK. And most importantly had a load of fun doing it all!
The Facebook format was a perfect platform to present the reports and gather all the media as albums and we are now working on our 39th BatRep with many more in the pipeline including a Badab War special 4 report campaign (Not to be missed). As soon as we started gaining friends & Likes online through our Facebook page we quickly started attracting more interest than we ever thought possible and were approached by people we considered luminaries of the hobby. It was a great honour that they were taking time out to help us grow, this shows the calibre of people involved in this hobby of ours, the response has been overwhelming.
Over the last few months SN Battle Reports has taken exponential steps in our online growth and we now have over 4.5K likes on our Facebook page! What does the future hold for SN Battle Reports? We are really appreciative of comments on our page and read every one. We have already have taken on board some of the suggestions from the community. We introduced table-wide splat maps so unit movements and actions can be followed after every turn. Going forward we now have a well established website which we invite you to have a look and Subscribe for free!
We hope that you will join us in the grim darkness of the far future, where a million stories are still to be told.
Thanks
The SN Team
