So my birthday came and went and I got a pleasant surprise from my sister (who happens to live on the other side of the country). She was kind enough to send a box of Deathwing Terminators in her care package to our parents (who live in the same city as me) and I picked it up while having dinner at their place.
Haven't quite gotten a chance to open it up and start building but quite excited as I've been wanting them for a while now but between the price and GW's business practices have been totally put off. Getting the box was also great as I had just gotten into talks with the folks who run NPC-Con and we decided to run both NPC-Con 2013 and Orktoberfest 2013 at the same venue. This does a bunch of things for both parties. We can share the cost of the venue, share sponsors and share players. Win-win for everyone involved. The only thing is I might have to cap the participants for Orktoberfest due to space limitations but that's ok as I've never hit the maximum of 32 in the past 3 years. Always around 20-24 which is just right for the venue that NPC-Con is using.
Unfortunately though, with GW's recent behaviour towards Faeit212 and BoLS, not sure if I want to promote 40k as the system for Orktoberfest 2013. Seriously considering switching to Warmachine/Hordes as there are a lot of those players in northern BC. The only thing stopping me is that I don't play that system and I don't want to shell out a bunch of money to start playing that system.
