This is a charity raffle army, with the proceeds going to Help for Heroes. Tickets sales went live on Wednesday, September 18th. With each ticket you buy, you have a chance of winning a Salamanders army, donated, built and painted by the very talented YouTube wargaming community

The Storm Wardens project from 2010 raised over $16,000 for Doctors Without Borders and this project is much more ambitious. This army is Apocalypse sized in nature, and since the new Space Marine codex just came out, their has almost never been a better time to buy.

The project is being headed up by youtube personalities IDICBeer, bloodofthefallen1 and WarlordsWargaming, and all the proceeds from the project will go towards the fantastic work done by the Help for Heroes charity, which I am sure you will all agree, is a very worthwhile cause. We have lots of awesome people on the project, from wargamers who are donating minis, to wargamers who are going all out, buying, converting and painting minis from new.

HERE IS A DIRECT LINK TO THE OFFICIAL HOMEPAGE.  

The army is not yet complete, but all the wargamers involved in the project are working as hard as they can to make the army look as amazing as we can get it, and we will be posting pictures of the completed units at the bottom of this page as they are finished. The list of units in the army is still increasing, and it will also feature a very special ‘SURPRISE’ Forge World model!

Tickets are now available to buy at a cost of £1.50 GBP each and all the money made from the raffle will go to the Help with Heroes charity. The raffle is a worldwide event and postage of the final army will be free to the winner.

For every £1.50 ($2.50 USD) you donate, you will be entitled to a single entry into the raffle. So if you donate £4.50 ($7.50 USD),  you will be entered three times.

Main Contact Details:   
Please note that we are no longer looking for more painters for the army, but if you would like to donate minis or get involved in the project in any other way, you are more than welcome.
