yeah,
I'll be bringing grots again so they can defend their crown!
Plus it might encourage me to make a new warboss or paint a second Deffdread or sumfink.
Ketara, I'll sort out payment tomorrow.

That gives us:
Ketara-Guard
Tek-Eldar
Snarky-Forgeworld Elysians
SilverMK2- CSM
Fifty-Forgeworld Tyrants Legion/Lamenters Jump pack List/Eldar
RinkyDink-Space Marines
Killkrazy-Tyranids
ChrisWWII-Imperial Guard
Reds8n- CSM
not prop-Guard
Panic-Orks
The Mcleod- Dark Angels
Titanprinceps-Imperial Guard
5 Imperial Guard
2 Chaos Space Marine
2 Space Marine
1 Dark Angels
1 Tyranids
1 Orks
1 Eldar
and 1 unspecified (Fifty). Seems like a relative mix, although the preponderance toward Guard is mildly scary. 
Hopefully, I'll have my new Dark Eldar up and running by the time the third and final Platinum Devil rolls around next May!

The race is on to see if I can finish my army for next weekend!
I completed 40 snake type Termagants today, and they are being run through the dishwasher right now, in preparation for priming.
Meanwhile my various other new creatures have been primed and will get the first of three basic paint colours after I've had my supper.
I aim to prime the Gants before bedtime, then tomorrow there will be an orgy of painting and varnishing!!

By the way, I've got my list written. I know we're not required to show them, but I figure I might as well make mine available for general viewing.

The Engineers. Less effort. 
You know gents, if you show up with one or two items not painted, I'm pretty sure no-one will mind.

I protest sir!
As the Win-at-all-Costs player I clearly am, denoted by my use of an undercoated only max-ed out net list, I demand no punishment for the non-painted!
It is offensive that in this day and age we feel the need to descriminate on the basis of colour.
That being said as a guard player the -1Sv doesn't bother me, I don't think we have them.

Hmm... does anybody mind about certain types of proxying? I want to take grenadiers for my krieg list, but unfortunately, I won't be able to get any grenadiers until the week after (damn you forgeworld!).
Therefore, would anybody mind if I use standard kriegsmen (appropriately armed and armoured) as the grenadiers?
EDIT:// It's only going to be a small 5 man squad to fill out my last 100 points in the 1250 list.

Basically, they have carapace armour and hotshot lasguns. So really, the only thing that they don't have is a large metal plate strapped to their chest and a power pack. (they do have a regular back pack however.) all special weapons i'm taking will be appropriately modelled however.

If you paint alittle mark on the base or something, so they're easily differentiated from the standard Guardsmen, I don't see it being a problem.

As long as it looks like a las weapon then I'm cool with it.
It's only really the " this flamer is a plasma gun, this ogryn is a rough rider serg., these auto cannons are missile launchers " kind of proxying is worth getting bothered about, and even then just as it helps avoid awkwardness between people who don't know each other all that well.

It's not going to be anything silly like that, the only thing that will be count as is *carapace armour, and lasguns as *hotshot lasguns. flamers will be modelled as flamers. Oh, and the most important thing gas masks will be counted as *gas masks with skulls.

..so... what are people's preferences with regards to Saturday evening then.
Last time we finished at the Uni, people popped back to hotels, houses, etc etc and then we all met up downtown for a few bevvies and grabbed some food.
People still up for that then ?
I ask as if we do go to eat somewhere, I might need to give a heads up or check prior to the event, to make sure they can feed/seat us all.
We could eat at the pub were we ate last time .. although they have changed the pies a bit ... 
http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/theoldbuttermarketcanterbury/food/
Or there's also "Chom Chom's" -- which is where we wnt and had a few rounds of cocktails after we'd eaten. They do fusion style food, it's a bit mroe expensive but is also all you can eat .. the quality is actually alright though, fret not.
