Cool your jets man. Maybe try looking up Leeroy Jenkins on youtube?
I'm familiar with the Youtube crap.
However, that post just made the actual manager have to go through god knows how many hoops to straighten this out with the company. He now has to call his regional and have a meeting on it, and they'll both have to call the regional's boss and set up a meeting, and so on and so forth, over a joke, and all because the Chicago Battle Bunker's name was used. And his REAL job is at risk. Not an imaginary one, a REAL PERSON'S JOB, all because someone thought they were being cute and making a little funny. Well, it's not  funny when you are fired because of a misunderstanding
I'll take a pass on jokes like that, thank you very much.
Dear AlphariusOmegon20,
OP stands for either Original Post or Original Poster. In this case, the Original Poster is krazynadechukr , and in his/her Original Post (before editing), it was he/she that was 'spilling the beans' on the name and location of his/her inside source.
It can all be found on page 1 of this very same thread. Go ahead, check for yourself. We'll wait...
I'm familiar with what OP means and what was meant by it. The OP is not my issue nor do I care what he did. My only concern is the post I responded to and the Manager of the Chicago Battle Bunker.

Even if that theoretically was the next set, there is no proof (e.g. no pictures were posted) that your friend gave out that information, so I think he should be fine.
Yes, I'm being DAMN serious. The next month of his career at GW is prolly going to be a living hell with the scrutiny he'll have to contend with from regional and even higher up the ladder.
I'll also point out that GW has fired people for far less than breaking their NDA and with far less evidence to support the allegations against them than a post on the internet.
Which I believe was the point you were trying to make to the OP?
I'm calling Trolling. You can't possibly be dumb enough to believe anything Kirasu wrote as you've obviously figured out how to use a computer, connect to the internet, set-up an email account, set-up a Dakka account, verify the Dakka account, then post in legible English (though all the censored swearing does give one pause).
My hat's off to you for getting me though, good show!

It's okay, hes a jerk so even if he gets fired and blacklisted I got all the info I needed already (hes such a loudmouth over vent).
Basically he gave me early pictures of the new box set and the sisters/csm codex due out a few months before the main starter set.
Ill upload all pictures to a public site after I finish putting his name as a watermark on them
Oh god, I have to answer this post.
Really... No you won't, liar, because:
A.) You don't have any pics to upload because there are none. The manager wouldn't have them to begin with, nor would he give them to you in the first place, even if he did have any.
B.) The manager's name at the Chicago Battle Bunker isn't Leroy Jenkins and the worst part is that was easily searchable on GW's own website, genius. There has not been a Leroy Jenkins at the Chicago Battle Bunker, neither as a a manager nor a red shirt in the 4 years I've been going to the bunker on a regular basis (3+ days a week).
C.)There is no Egg Lane in the Chicagoland area. (couldn't be bothered to use an actual Chicago street for this tripe, huh?)
D.) There is no suburb named Blackrock in the Chicagoland area. (Apparently you couldn't be assed to try to use a real suburb either.)
E.) I know for a FACT he would have never told you anything such as this, because his info on anything forthcoming is about the same, if not less than ours. I've been friends with the Bunker staff for 4 years now and I know none of them would do anything like what you claim. I'm quite well known at the Bunker by most of the customers and know the Staff quite well.
F.) The only jerk I see in this equation is you,  . Trying to get someone fired when they have not done anything to deserve it is not only low, but speaks that you yourself are a pile of  . Do us a favor and don't come back to the Bunker. We the customers don't need you, as you have proven yourself to be a liar by your post, and I'm pretty sure that once he finds out who you are, you'll be banned from the store, if you aren't already. I'm also sure that he does not want your business anymore after this.
So what happened? Did he catch you cheating in games in the store and ban you? Were you stealing product?
You're a lowlife and disgust me to no end.
Now, I recently had a speculative discussion with a few people on the issue you describe. However, I am not, nor have never been, an employee of GW. We never discussed any potential pics at any time of any product. Our discussion was speculative ONLY. I have never received any information from any employee of GW, and based my speculations on what made sense and what people seem to want in the new codexes.
This unfortunately also means I have a damn good idea of who you are and I WILL discuss that with the manager in the morning when I go into the store. Post this anywhere else and I will shoot these lies down there too, as I am also a member of most other boards like this one.
Mods, I'm sorry if I broke any board rules, but these salacious allegations had to be answered and put down as the lies they were, as the Battle Bunker manager's job could have been at stake if they had gone unanswered. GW does read such forums as these. I am at your mercy, and will accept graciously whatever punishment for this post that you see fit.

AlphariusOmegon20 I think the reason people are having a hard time taking you seriously is because you picked apart every detail of Kirasu's post in original post with sure fury, when it was obviously a joke post. The only part of Kirasu's post worth examining is whether it would have been better to use a fictitious store name in a joke posting. That is a valid point, as I've worked for enough insane draconian corporations to know that your friend realistically could be under scrutiny for something a small as this. Though I still believe your friend should weather the corporate store if this is the only thing they're upset about.
You appear to be be viewing Kirasu's post as a malicious attack against your friend, trying to get him fired. I don't know Kirasu at all, but I really don't believe his post was anything more than a joke with an out of place real world reference. He posted the comment back on 5/11/2011, and there have been no pictures posted, because like you said there are no pictures.
Zefig and I have expressed our genuine sympathy for your friend, and your support of your friend, and you still have my sympathy. If you are 100% sure that Kirasu's specific post is the sole cause of your friends problems with his company, then you have a certain right to be upset. But impugning malicious motives on Kirasu's part, when I, other users, and at least one of Mods realize it was a intended as a simple joke, makes it hard for you to be taken seriously.
Please understand that I haven't said any of this to upset you, or question your motives. I'm posting to try to help you to see how you could post your comments and be taken more seriously, and drum up support for your friend, which I guessing is one of your intentions.
I've said all that I have to say on this topic. I hope it helps, and now I'll bow out of this conversation.

Shade of Despair and Torment

As usual, the original topic has veered way off course...
The original (informational) post was about the talk at GW HQ (by 2 GW folks I know on both coasts of the USA) and the new 40k starter (6th edition in 2012) possibly containing CSM & SOB... (many posts about that).
Then the information about seeing a new CSM model in the studio that was slightly larger, not terminator, just regular (well detailed ) CSM about a few mm taller & wider (it was next to current CSM model)...Someone posted that maybe this was a "1 up" of a new CSM yet to be released, however a "1 up" would be the actual release size scale. GW usually works in a "3 up" scale(84mm) before shrinky-dinkying it to a 28mm scale....It has been stated that the person who saw this, since more recent conversations, said it might have been a new Fine Cast model yet to be released....
Thanks all....

to bring back to OP, i think it's total poppycock. too much is done kitbashing across the races, shifting the scale up would mean that many many many kitbashers would be upset. The difference might be subtle, but glare in the face of using it. It also makes little sense from a manufacturing standpoint, its substantially more plastic going in.... it would drive costs up even higher, not to mention, it would be awkward with the bases.
Seeing truescale marines produced by GW is a dream of mine, but I don't see it ever happening. The tau are supposed to be 5 feet average, cadians 6 feet, and marines, I insit at 8.5 foot average, 9 feet with the powerplant. And yet, the tau are merely half a head shorter than the cadians. Compare the orcs too, and they should be massive like space marines, exceeidng in cases 10 feet, and yet, on average, they are the same vertical height as cadians.
I think we are looking at a scale-range from 40k that is completely irrelevant with respect to the models. Are we going to see a true-scale rhino? never, that would be a land-raider-size model, so it doesn't make sense (i know, you just mentioned 1mm or two in all directions).
Then again, GW has gone ahead with failcast, telling us it would be awesome, so I am willing to doubt both mine, and anyone's judgement as to what GW will do, and whether its for the best.
interesting rumor though: the one I heard was that next summer's 6th edition release would feature a starter box of Eldar Vs. CSM. Now that, is an interesting kit, and as many CSM as I have splling out of every nook and cranny, I still think I'd buy it.
