If you’re subscribed to the Warlord Newsletter, and/or are a member of the online Bolt Action community, you should be no stranger to the TabletopBattle crew – Svein, Damon and the gang create Battle Reports, product reviews and much more Bolt Action video content!
Back in February, we launched a ‘Call to Arms’ in an effort to rally the community together to help-out TTB’s Damon and his family, with his gorgeous daughter Emma needing vital (and unfortunately – hugely expensive) surgery…
You can read more about the cause in our previous article here
It is with great pleasure and much pride that we can announce that Damon, his wife Silje, and – of course – little Emma – are just a whisker away from achieving their target of raising £14,500
We’d like to say a HUGE, HUGE ‘Thank you’ to the community – to you fine folks out there who have rallied-around and given anything you can…
Damon has worked tirelessly over the past 7-months or so to gather, paint, and auction-off a huge amount of Bolt Action armies, vehicles, units etc – including some very generous donations from a number of other companies to help-out – we’d also like to say a huge ‘Thank you’ to those folks as well.

A quick word from Damon, Silje and their family!
We would not have reached the goal without the help of the gaming community, both me and my wife , Silje Andersen , are extremely gratefull for all that you have done for us and for our Emma to get her the best life she can get, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
