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. 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. 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.

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. 3005 CHAOS 510 Stix (Mark of Khorne) x2 225 Acheron (Mark of Khorne) 250 Devastation (Mark of Khorne) 240 Carnage (Mark of Khorne) 215 Inferno (Mark of Khorne) 210 Murder (Mark of Khorne) x2 200 Slaughter (Mark of Khorne) 135 Idolater x3 120 Infadel x3 150 Iconoclast x6 750 Blackstone Fortress 1595 SPACE MARINES 440 Battlebarge 580 Strike Cruiser x4 160 Strike Cruiser Carrier 160 Hunter 135 Nova 120 Gladius 1020 ROGUE TRADERS 185 RT Cruiser 185 Iron Clad Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) x2 160 Castellan Shield Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 135 Gothic Lt Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) 240 Cobra (Space Fleet Vessel) x8 65 Galaxy Troop Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 150 Xenos Vessels x3 975 PLANETARY DEFENSE 150 Space Station 240 Orbital Platform x8 120 Defense Monitor x2 160 System Ships x8 305 Orbital Mines & Mine Fields 1060 TRANSPORTS 90 Repair Tender 90 Super Heavy Transport 80 Heavy Transport x2 120 Transport x6 40 Fire Ship x4 180 Q-Ships x3 180 Escort Carriers x3 120 Recommissioned Escorts x3 60 RT Cargo Vessel x3 60 Armed Freighters x3 40 Galaxy Factory Ship (Space Fleet Vessel) 660 GREY KNIGHTS 330 Strike Cruiser x2 120 Cobra x4 105 Sword x3 105 Firestorm x3 4905 IMPERIAL NAVY (Various Sectors) 365 Retribution Battleship 365 Emperor Battleship 260 Mars Battlecruiser 440 Dictator x2 185 Tyrant 360 Gothic x2 220 Dauntless x2 120 Cobra x4 210 Sword x6 120 Firestorm x3 230 Exorcist Grand Cruiser 215 Emperor Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) 340 Tyrant Lt Cruiser (Space Fleet Vessel) x2 600 Thunderbolt Corvettes (Space Fleet Vessel) x6 300 Constellation Targeting Ships (Space Fleet Vessel) x6 260 Dominion Battlercruiser 105 Sword x3 210 Falchion Frigate x6 400 Blackstone Fortress

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?

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.
