The Library Wars Initiative
A Foundling Fund Program of Galactic Outfitters Ltd's Bounty Hunters Guild
---
Mission Statement
The Library Wars Initiative is dedicated to fostering strategic analysis, leadership, teamwork, and tactical thinking in young minds by donating complete, playable Warhammer 40k and Star Wars Legion armies to libraries and high schools. Through this program, we transform unused or unwanted miniatures into fully game-ready sets, giving kids access to wargaming as a shared, engaging, educational experience.
How It Works
Do you have an old army collecting dust? A pile of unassembled sprues you know you're never going to touch? Maybe a force that’s out of the meta and just not selling? Instead of letting it sit and its warriors never see glory on the tabletop again, send it to us! We’ll restore, rebuild, and repurpose those miniatures into battle-ready Gamecrates that include:
Two exciting 1500+ point armies, giving tactical flexibility at the 1,000 point standard play level
All the dice, measuring tools, rulebooks and unit datacards players will need
Durable foam storage system for model longevity
A set of terrain and objective markers with a Narrative Play mission
The team at Galactic Outfitters will prepare two Gamecrates to be donated to each library and high school targeted as a program beneficiary, allowing four students to simultaneously experience the joy of tabletop gaming and face varying challenges without the financial barriers of the hobby.
First Library Beneficiaries
The Durant Public Library in Mississippi and Palmyra Public Library in New York will be the first two libraries to receive Gamecrates.

Meta strength, paint quality, or faction don’t matter—we’ll fix them up and make them battle-ready! We can even replace missing bits and minis using our 3d printer to restore slightly damaged models and round out squads. Have an abandoned project or half a Starter set you've never had use for taking up space? That's what we're talking about. Shamebin paint job? We’ll strip, reprime and donate the crate with a new paint set so the army’s future players can decide what color schemes to use, developing the Arts of War.
NIB welcome, and if not filling an immediate Gamecrate army need, shrink wrapped products may be used as student gaming club Prize Support or Foundling Fund holiday gift donations at the discretion of the GBHG Guildmaster.
Note to Makers: Custom 3d printed armies are gladly accepted if they are a) quality resin prints from designers like Pipermakes, Gambody or Dark Fire Designs, which b) follow WYSIWYG, c) are collectively 1500 points of a single faction or more. 3d Makers will be rewarded with a 2 year membership for one 3d printed army, a 5 year membership for a pair, and a lifetime membership for two pair. Please individually bag units and include a ruleset reference for each proxy. Quality 3d print Mandalorian armor sets will also be accepted as Prize Support at the 5 year level. The Guildmaster will use her resin printer to make at least one Mandalorian army for this project annually, so we highly encourage your charitable creativity.
