Community Shoutout - Dave Taylor's Heart of Gold

It is hard to imagine hobbyists not knowing who Dave Taylor is. But incase you live under a rock. He is one of the guys who has constantly contributed amazing armies to White Dwarf as well as working as the Oz White Dwarf Editor and in the US Tournament Scene. Dave was also one of the guys who took part in the Storm Warden Project.

And for those who have been living under a rock. The Storm Warden Project was an example of how members of our small community can come together and produce great results. In this case it was a bunch of guys coming together to build an army with the support of companies, LGS and even The Bolter and Chainsword. They then did a raffle with the proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.

Recently two of Dave's friends suffered from personal losses. To help them out he will be selling two of his armies. But not just any armies. Dave will be selling his stunning Custodian Army that has featured on the Games Workshop website and in White Dwarf (Oz Issue: 303).

He will also be selling his Hive Fleet Kraken Tyranid Army. This is another high profile army that can be seen on pages 216 and 217 of our 5th Edition Rule books. If you haven't taken the time to admire the armies feature on pages 214-219 then I strongly encourage you to do so. Dave has announced that there will be other charity projects over the year aimed at helping out these two guys. Full details can be found here.

The more exposure this gets the better. And it is not the only example of members of our small community coming together to help others which can be seen all over the place like here and here.
