Freebootaz Toys For Tots Charity Auction - 2014 "Da Ork Dynasty"

The 40K Radio Freebootaz are at it again!


This year they've put together multiple auctions for the Toys for Tots charity.



The first auction is for a nice 40K Ork Army with a Good Old Boy/Duck Dynasty theme.

Included are several unique vehicles. The first is in the form of a monster truck.


There's a HMV style trukk



And finally the "Genrul Lee"



Let's not forget to mention some wacky conversions of Orks with beard squiqs!



And finally, the set is rounded off with a custom set of templates!



There are even more pictures of the army to peruse at the auction link, posted above and below.

This is the first of several armies being auctioned for this worthy charity.

If you like this army, please go bid with confidence, knowing the proceeds from the winning bid will go to help kids in need.

If Orks are not your flavour of 40K, watch this space for the other auctions, which will include a Tau army, a Crimson Fists army, and some super heavy titan goodness!

Freebootaz Toys for Tots 2011!

Hello everybody! Once again the Christmas season is upon us. And once again, the Freebootaz, of the 40KRadio forum, are continuing their annual tradition of support for Toys for Tots!


Every year, since they have started, the Freebootaz, the 40KRadio forum members, have been running charity drives in the form of donating, building and painting Warhammer 40K armies to auction. This activity actually takes place all year long, as members decide what new army to do, dedicate units and models, decide on the painting schemes, and then spend the rest of the year up to the very beginning of December assembling, converting, and painting their donations.

Charity Auction: Homes for Wounded Soldiers

Well folks, no matter what you say about 40K Radio, or Battle Foam, and believe me a lot of people say a lot of negative things about them, it's hard to deny that their heart is in the right place. After all, when they sponsor charity auctions, and do other charitable work, they really are putting their hearts out there for those in need.

Personally, I'm a fan of both, and after my trip to the UK and having met and hung out with Romeo (owner of Battlefoam and 40K Radio) and the Freebootaz who also attended the trip for nearly 10 days, know that he's a great guy when it comes down to supporting the hobby community, and the global community.

Their latest effort to spread hope and help to the community comes with this new charity auction!




Proceeds will go towards quarterback hunting, mullet loving, NFL pro, Jared Allen's charity, Homes for Wounded Warriors.

So please, if this is something that has a place in your heart, or you just want to help give hope to the families of soldiers wounded while fighting for their country and their families, please check out the auction and bid. And if you don't win the bid, or it's out of your economic ability to bid, but still would like to contribute, go directly to Jared Allen's website and contribute there.

Thanks and kudos! to Romeo, 40K Radio, Freeboota Darksheer, and all the multitude of service men and women from around the world who helped put this together! This is something special, and I hope it does very well.

Freebootaz Support the Toys for Tots!!!

Hello everybody! I just wanted to talk briefly about a great little tradition that was started by the Freebootaz, of the 40KRadio forum, a couple years ago, and has been going strong ever since.

That is their support for Toys for Tots!


Every year, since they have started, the Freebootaz, the 40KRadio forum members, have put together charity drives in the form of donating, building and painting Warhammer 40K armies to auction. All proceeds from these auctions goes directly to the Toys for Tots charity, which has a long generous history of ensuring children in need may have a Christmas wish come true with a gift of a new toy.

This year is no different, and the Freebootaz have built and painted enough miniatures that they were able to create 4 rather large Ultramarine armies. The cherry on top of all that is a lovely scratch built plasticard Thunderhawk, similar in scale to the current Forgeworld version of the Thunderhawk.

On top of that, these auctions not only include some really nice miniatures, but some Ultramarine related extras. Each auction has something different, and all are worth checking out and bidding on, if not for the cool stuff, for the excellent charity these auctions will help.

So without further ado, here are the links to each of the auctions.

Warhammer 40K Ultramarines Space Marines Painted 3rd Co




Warhammer 40K Ultramarines Space Marines Painted 4th Co




Warhammer 40K Ultramarines Space Marines Painted 5th Co

Warhammer 40K Ultramarines Space Marines Thunderhawk

While I have not personally contributed to this, I do wish to thank the Freebootaz who were directly involved with this project for doing such a great job, and being so generous. This was obviously a labour of love for every one of them, and just watching these projects come together into a cohesive whole was a joy to see. Hopefully next year I'll be able to contribute something beyond being a cheerleader, and promoting it where I can.

Bid well and good luck!
