Also, in case people missed it earlier the current plan is to offer more events that allow at least some FW models in the future.

The events in Abington will feature FW more prominently.  Events we hold at either location that are at least somewhat intended to be "GT practice" will likely not allow FW rules / units.

So it seems like a decision has been made; I'm curious then, will events in Abington work for your inivtationals?

Some will, some won't.  Same goes for Plainville.
I'm sorry, my question was poorly phrased.

Will events allowing forgeworld be eligable for invitationals?

Cheers,
Alan

Allowing FW units & FW armies are 2 different things (money wise)

 When you start to allow armies, you take a chance of making money or losing money. Take Eldar Corsairs, a huge chunk of it is Eldar Guardians, things that arn't really selling in 6th edition. You can make some money off allowing that army. But if someone takes DKoK, you have to buy the entire army off of FW, (tanks included to make it a "true" DKoK army). In short, BG can either make some money off of units that don't really sell, or not make any money at all...
 

Yup, this is where risk mitigation kicks in Dylan.  But if you can use the rules for DKOK there's nothing stopping you building plastic GW guardsmen.

My gut feeling is that this will not have a huge impact on BG revenue; of course that's based on personal experience rather than a formal survey...

Alan

It's probably just easier to charge for table use.

I'm enjoying an argument in which I am not the most contentious member.

Yeah. Doesn't matter what we're using on the table at that point.

I just want to point out, that I will have spent around 169+ or so on stuff at BG for my Forge World army in one week.
