I have Facebook.

Gotta be out by 10.

I'm in. I bought my tix awhile ago, but still undecided on team.

Deathbot is ready to go with the New Orcleans Saints

I am also not available the first Tuesday GN.

Can you buy double skills?

Awesome!

There is also this cool Stunty Leeg Handbook on fumbbl.

Unfortunately, I have to bow out.

I use OpenOffice, but I am happy to share. Here is a folder on my Google Drive with various progress charts and rosters. The files are in both OpenOffice and GoogleDoc formats.

Forgot to credit the blogger who came up with the progress chart idea: Admiral Drax.

My only trick is I have a knack (aka OCD) for it. But in general, once I look it up and enter it into my spreadsheet, I have it down. I use the spreadsheet to track my collection, painting progress, as well as game points.

Here is an example. The idea was shamelessly taken from a fellow blogger I follow.

I had some foam laying around so most of my cruisers have a nice cozy home inside that, but damn it's hard to find a good way to store these models. 

Magnetize the flight stand to the ship. There are a couple of products out there specifically for storing models like BFG. Although its relatively simple to makeshift a similar solution.

Most of my ships are not in any better shape than yours... I just like spreadsheets!!!

Ill be playing Goblins. Roster to come shortly.

I think it will actually be even a bit more awkward than that. Their terminology is confusing, "new recruits" in that paragraph could either refer to "dudes you just recruited" or "dudes with the New Recruit Type". 

Since the vast majority of SW:A was copy/pasted from Necromunda, I looked through the old Necromunda rules to see if I could find clarification. The following section appears on the 3rd paragraph of pg 96 under the heading of New Recruits of the collected hardbound book:

"New fighters are recruited in the same way as the original gang. Refer to the Recruiting a Gang section. New recruits may be armed with any of the weapons described in the Gang Recruitment list, but cannot be given other equipment until they have fought at least one battle."

There is no fighter type of "New Recruit" in Necromunda (they are called Juves). So I think this is a case where the terminology was overlooked and not properly changed in SW:A. Every other reference to New Recruit in SW:A appears to be referring to the type of fighter, but in this one case, I think it is meant to refer to any newly hired fighter.

Getting only 100 pts to spend in post game and then losing any unspent points seemed insane to me. I have solved my problem, though it still kind of sucks. I have to spend 2 caches to max out this kill team.

Rules say you can only trade in a single promethium cache.

I think your best bet with GKs is if you start the game with a Leader, 2 specialists, and 350 in equipment (only buying 1 special weapon), you can purchase a second special weapon and miscellaneous equipment after game 1.

WYSIWYG

Magnetizing an arm(s), or pin fitting (no glue) a secondary weapon to the back is an easy way to swap out a model's load-out.

... since GW says they'll be giving new rules for everything anyway.

If AoS is an indicator, the basic rules and basic army lists will be free, but the majority of the game books will not be free.

I am about a 75% yes. Ill play Tau or Khaos.

Im in!

I have a lot of ships--More than I realized before making this list. Some models are currently unassembled, and most are unpainted (but I will get any we want to use in ship-shape before the event). The Space Fleet ships were intended for using the rules in Warp Rift 31 & 32, but they could be proxied as something else. I am heavily weighted towards Imperial, but if the Space Marines, and Rogue Traders went traitor that would mostly balance out my forces.

Good to hear! If people wanna post up who they will play for/ what ships they will bring we can build some teams! 

Sounds like we are sticking to just IN vs Chaos? I can bring either, but my Khaos fleet has never left dry dock, so, I am partial to them. Should I list points or models?

Does anyone have good terrain? 

I have both scratch built models and photoshoped color printouts for various celestial phenomena. The last image is a full table mock up with sun-ward edge and large planet with asteroid belt

When GW shut down the Specialist Games line, the official forums were handed over to the community. They currently reside at Specialist-Arms. The FAQ and Compendium 2010 are their version of the LRB, but were never considered by GW as official like the BB LRBs. There is a repository of official and community rules available...

...and I just realized andozane's link is the same one I was about to share.

I am interested as well.

What rules set are you thinking of using?

I get all my magnets from K&J Magnetics. I'm not familiar with the kit, but for the Bloodthirster wings I would get 1/4"x1/8" cylinder magnets and 1/8"x1/16" for the arms.
