Would anyone be interested in doing a combined forgeworld order? I would love to get my hands on some tigersharks.

Seriously. You treat tiny boats like its a death match.

The Handsome Gentleman's Recreational Society will take Mr. James in on a probationary level and we'll see if we can reform him.

After much consideration, we've decided to aim for August 4th or 11th (trying to dodge GenCon which is from 16th-19th).

There's a chance that Warhammer 40k, sixth edition will release the weekend of the 4th.  If not, I expect it the month before.  Unfortunately, we may not know a THING about this until they announce it in White Dwarf 8 days before it's in the store.

Can we just lock the the event into 5th edition then? It'll make the event run about a billion times smoother.

It'll be like the retirement party for 5th edition.

This. Megabattles are enough of a headache without having to memorize a whole edition of rules beforehand :)

It;s definitely going to be 5th edition.  I just have no interest in having an off-site event on the day a new edition goes on sale.

That shit's bad for business, yo.  ;)

So, here's my question: How many Space Marine players can commit to bringing a full battle company?

Check out Forgeworld's site and bask in the awesome.

Most races get super heavies.  Marines don't get too much because their datasheets are boss enough to take care of titans with just marines.
