This is gonna be great, the buildup here is making me even more impatient than I already was. Now I just need to figure out how to transport daemons via plane, otherwise I'll have to bring something else. Luckily, as you pointed out, I have 7 months to do, but also, unluckily, it is 7 months of waiting. It was so much easier to go to your events when I was down in SD.

I mean, I'm not going to lie, I watched the entire video. Not putting it on, then surfing the internet while listening... actually watched it.

I turned red watching this as I was embarrassed for both of you.

Please don't quit your day jobs to become internet personalities that talk only about wargaming, let alone run a store.

@Fists of the emperor

We haven't determined the exact pubs yet, I was waiting to get a better feel for how many people would come and then negotiate drink specials, etc. Any and all recommendations are appreciated though, and I will certainly look those bars up, thanks!

Given that some of us are bringing spouses to this, I'm hopeful that the pub crawl will remain tasteful.

Also bringing a spouse. Maybe the ladies can have their own pub crawl, lololololol.

What!? I have seen your Slaanesh models first hand sir, nothing tasteful about Slaanesh!

My wife is coming too, no need to worry about us though. We'll roll with whatever.

It will be classy guys, no worries. I am going to be leading it and I will be drinking a minimum. I am taking my responsibility to ensure everyone has fun but also stays safe, seriously. Don't worry guys, it will be a blast and totally suitable for wives and GFs.

And grab them tickets! We're selling them every day and 40K is going to hit half full soon at this pace.

I just have to decide how I will get there. I want to drive because that would be awesome. But I think flying is better.

@Masos

We do allow FW, but that new Tau Riptide is flippin Bonkers, that is the most OP thing I have ever seen! haha, we will wait to see what the official rules are for it are. I wrote FW asking them to please tone that thing down as that is like, unbelievably over the top OP.

We'll see what the official rules are but as it stands, that thing is broken as broken can be. We may have to introduce a ban list as much as I hate to say that.

We'll have to wait and see the official rules, but as of right now, we have no restrictions on FW.

Im guessing Experimental rules are not allowed? If so that makes sense. We are basically playtesting for them.
But I doupt the official rules will be out by then.

Makes sense. they get those rules out for models that need them, after all, why buy a model with no rules.
Looks like mines will be a proxy

Yeah, it is a beautiful model, but by the Emperor that is outrageously over powered. That one model, as is, puts out more firepower than the entire heavy support section of most armies, and with some marker lights it won't miss and it will ignore cover. It's obscenely over the top, I don't what they're thinking.

Plus T7 with 6 wounds and a 4++ to shooting? And in the Heavy slot so you can take normal Riptides, too? Yeah....

The only thing you can say in it's defense is that it isn't a JetPack MC and can't shoot flyers of snap fire, but still, with 60" range that thing will destroy a unit per turn, every single turn without exception and in return is incredibly durable.

We'll see what the official rules are but as of now that is straight up out of control and we won't allow it.

Yeah, it's fething insane. It will get TWELVE strength 8 hits against every vehicle hit...WTF?!

A unit of cavalry, jump/jet packs, beasts, etc. will be hit by effectively EIGHT strength 7 AP3 large blasts that will be in all likelihood ignoring cover and won't miss, maybe even twin linked?!?! Hahaha, that is absolutely stupid.

I have a feeling it might go down in power in some form. Its like that Landspeeder that was experimental and was like 100 pts.

No, that Land Speeder was 75pts before it got toned down! Hahaha, the same as a normal Land Speeder but about 10x better.

Yeah, I sincerely hope it gets toned down. As it is there is no way we will allow that. Everything else has been roughly equal to what is in the game now, if not significantly weaker, but this is just insanely over the top.

Yes, there will for sure be Demos of Malifaux 2nd ed by one of the game designers, and Heavy Gear. We in all liklihood will have more, but for now those are the two main games that will be officially demod.

Yeah i cant agree with grant theft on this.

Because this XV107 suit will dominate any other build if the experimental rules are right. It will down the council in a turn if you fail your GoTN roll. The fateweaver will die after turn one if you put him on the board.

And their is also some debate on using fateweaver re roll while he is in reserve. Where do you weigh in on this Reecius since I believe you will be the TO?

Also I think people will understand a band list on some forgeworld models.
