My best mate is coming over for a game at my place, my Grey Knights vs his Armoured Company. Should be a good time

I plan on burning my copy of the little rule book at a bonfire this weekend.

By participating in a small "tournament" at my local GW.

Well, the FLGS is having one last tournament for 5th, and then moving on to sixth. depending on how me and some of my friends like 6th, we may continue to play 5th in friendly games.

Silently and with no fanfair. Thursdays (today) are the 40k days at my local store. I planned to go up today to play one final game but circumstances have me unable to go. Next time I'll beable to go up is Saturday, when I'll be picking up 6th edition and attempting to play a game!

Tonight is the last game of our Summer 40k league, and more likely than not the last game of 5th edition I'll be playing. It's going to be a big 2000 point game and my Crimson Fists (that I started at the beginning of 5th edition) are going to bring the hurt to a bunch of Necrons. It's gonna be good, and I'll probably post a battle report!

By ritually removing my 5th edition bool from y travel case and replacing it with the BADAB (Big A** Dark Angels Book)

Playing my 3rd game with my new nids at 1500pts VS SW... should be a good match. Look forward to it. Seems I'll be getting a boost with my nids in 6th so thats something to look forward too (maybe )

A big bonfire! We are all tossing our 5th rule books in and all the models we think might be nerfed...then when the hysteria wares off we will realize we should not have melted our models.

Planning to wage an Apoc battle against my bro, should be fun.

You're gonna melt your models that you think MIGHT get nerfed? I would never toss a model I spent that much time and money on in a fire just because it might be sub-optimal in the current ruleset/codex. That's terrible forward thinking.

Om going over to the gw store on a few days.
Im going to buy some WHFB Skaven.
Just waiting fo a new starterset.

The orky thing to do would be to convert the BRB into a battlewagon.

In a couple of months. My local GW is supposed to be allowing it to continue, while giving out tutorial games and allowing people the chance to by it. But come September that's it.

My local GW is holding 1 last tournament using the 5th rules on saturday(tomorrow).

Swordbrotherjim and I are going to our F-not-so-local-GS to play a tournament and (hopefully) pick up our rulebooks.

My local store is extending their hours until midnight(ish) to allow people to get their copies of 6th edition at 12:01AM.

Instead of hanging out there and getting a last game on 5th edition in, however, I'll be getting drunk and partying at a completely separate location where I seriously doubt WH40K will even come into conversation.

Pretty sure he's joking dude! There are some reactionary posters here, but I don't think many are that bad!

Getting drunk then going to my FLGS would have me stumbling out of the store with 2000 points of an army I didn't even know I wanted, I guarantee it.

I think I'm going to deep fry my BRB then dunk it in wing sauce.

Also, celebrated by finally starting to paint my DP of Khorne.

My store was planning on holding a tournament. 24 entrants, first place wins 24 raffle tickets, and it goes down in reverse order. Entrance fee was preordering the book (which got you another raffle ticket).

At midnight, they do a drawing. The winner gets a free 2000pt 40k army that the store builds for you. Then they release the books.

Was really hopin to be there tonight, but ended up having to work instead. :(

Same here. I mentioned my curiosity about WHFB to the GW manager, and I'm sure he'd take full advantage of that if I came in drunk.
