Subject: The Imperious forces of the Evil Empire...
(Please note the the tongue is firmly planted in the cheek:) Hummm... and new force for evil in the GZG universe? The Evil Empire In the years prior to the 2d Secessionists War, a certain game company (founded in the old UK) grew in power and prestege in all levels of the 'gaming' world. Just as they finally beginning to expand their power into politics (though control of hundreds of thousands of young gamers) the Secessionists war begain. This war absorbed billions of pounds away from the gaming industry and drew thousands of young Britions (and Americans) away from gaming. This weakened the Evil Empire and started its slow decline... The final blow to the Empire began shortly after the Anglican Confederation was established. The Empire was beginning to reassert its control over the surviving young gamers of the Confederation when a certain scion of the Windsor family (the Prince of Wales in fact) announced that he was a life long miniatures gamer, and that he was using his vast forture to form "The Royal Gamer, Inc."!!! The prince assembled a well trained (and paid!) staff of gamers, sculpters, and writers to build a line of excellent miniatures, rules, and background supplements... even paints!!! The final straw was that the prince was a marketing and distribution genius. In one fell swoop his products found themselves on shelves that even the Evil Empire couldn't touch... those hollowed grounds of WAL-MART!!!! The Royal Gamer soon possessed well over 50% of the existing gaming market and was building a vast new market that the Evil Empire couldn't hope to touch... the Evil Empire knew that it was defeated. It gathered its last few billions of dollars, and legion of fans, and fled the inner system- vowing revenge on the Anglican Confederation and the House of Windsor!! The Evil Empire soon found refuge on a cluster of stars 2000 light years from Earth. On those worlds, the Evil Empire built vast cloning facilites and began to rebuild its legions of fans/zombies! It's warped hatred of its enemies twisted the appearance of its followers- some grew in size, and slowly turned green... and spoke like street denziens... they became the Boyz... Others formed a cult around the founder of the Evil Empire... the ancient founder who's life was protected through the ages by the vast throne built to keep him alive. The Emperior was able to maintain control over his devoted followers (Adeptus Gamus) and over the orkoid Boyz. He armed them and united them into vast legions of Boyz and chapters of legions!! Soon the Evil Empire built massive starships... similar to huge gothic cathederals with snowplows... and supported its infantry with vast numbers of WWI want-to-be tanks, and turned them against the New Anglican Confederation! Their mission: to recapture their sacred home- Terra, and to cleanse the universe of all gaming competitors!!! AVE IMPERATOR!:) Gaming notes: the Evil Imperial forces may only use Evil Empire miniatures and ONLY in the porportions given by the Codex! Evil Empire forces may NOT SIDE with ANY army that uses any miniature other than those manufactured by the Evil Empire... NAC units are the favorite target of the Evil Empire! The Imperial player MUST cleanse the universe of such scum...;) Orkoid unit players MUST listen to loud rap music while playing, and must call all of his troops BOYZ! Rember: Red makes it go faster:) Any comments??;)
