Are you going to be at Guardian this Friday? I'll be there for PFS. (edit) Woops. No I won't, looks like PFS is cancelled this week for Gamestorm.

Sounds good, bring them down some time.

I fear we're going to take a couple weeks off, Pat's on his way to England for a vacation. What did you find?

Great, I'll see you there.

How about Guardian Games at 7:00pm on Monday the 5th?

I am! What side of town are you on? Closer to Guardian Games or Rainy Day?

It is closet cleaning time and I have about 60 unpainted orc boyz I want to get rid of. They're about 15 Arrow Boyz, 35 regular boyz, and 10 unassembled plastic black orcs. Anyone play orcs? Anyone want more boyz? Free to a good home. Just let me know and we can meet up somewhere local and I'll hand them over. edit: Also have an assembled but unpainted boar chariot.

I love this game. I'm always up for a game. I don't visit this forum very often so the best way to reach me is to send me some email at stephen.gingell@gmail.com and we can meet up somewhere. I'm in Aloha but I'm happy to travel within reason. I've got bits of all sorts of things but mostly Gondor, Mordor, and Moria. - Stephen

No problem, it's been a while since we planned it so I thought I'd check if anything changed. We can try again some other time.

Just wanted to make sure we were still on for tomorrow at Guardian at 5pm. : )

Well, friendly for demons... How does 1500pts grab you?

I've got an unpainted Chaos army and a painted Daemon army. How does 5pm at Guardian on the 29th sound?

I stopped playing sometime during 8th edition, went back after a while and stopped again. I quite agree, 7th edition was my favorite (which is not to say it was perfect, I just liked it's problems more than I liked 8th's problems). I might be able to catch a game some Wednesday during the workday, what hours are you available?

I'm not sure I see the point IP wise. Say I am a budding miniatures maker and I want to horn in on the WHFB player base. Maybe I make some nice character models (like Avatars of War did) or some cheaper trooper sprues (like Kings of War did) and try to sell them to gamers. Not being able to call my Avatars of War figure an Orruk doesn't seem like it should slow me down any. GW is still selling orcs, whatever they call them, and my third party "Orc Spearmen" can be used just as easily as GW's "Orruk Waaagh-Stabbers of Mount Wemadeitupandcopyrightedit".

If you check the GW website you'll see the new names for all the races. Elves got an 'A' to become Aelfs. Beastmen stayed Beastmen. Daemons stayed Daemons. Dwarves became 'Duardin' Goblins became 'Grots' Ogres became 'Ogors' (which looks like it is pronounced 'Ogre', but whatever) Orcs became Orruks. Lizardmen of all kinds (Slaan, Saurus, and Skinks) all became 'Seraphon' Skaven stayed Skaven. Forest Spirits became 'Sylvaneth' Trolls became 'Trogoth' Vampires and Mummies stayed Vampires and Mummies. One suspects the hand of copyright lawyers at work, much like how almost all the most recent line of paints have GW specific proper names in them. Maybe they reckon von Carstein and Khemri are copyrightable enough to not change Vampires and Mummies, but keeping Daemons as Beastment as is seem the odd ones out.
