Title: Gargantuan Launch Party in Abington?
Post by: Chase on March 17, 2013, 04:07:42 AM

Is there any interest in something like this?

I haven't looked into it at all, but I've been sent THREE launch party kits that I'd love to see not go to waste...  I'm likely going to try to return two of them seeing as how they were sent (and BG was charged) by accident.

Does the crew down there want anything to do with it in the middle of a league?

I believe Sean was talking about doing a Colossals thing and the Gargantuan thing at the same time.

I would like to do that. That'll give ALL factions a chance to play and compete. I'd also like to do it once the balance of Gargantuans are released. I think that would be next month that they're all here. So, sometime soon after that I'd like to do it. Abington has a Colossals kit on stand by already.

The last one to drop is the Skorne Mammoth in late April so early-mid May would probably be ideal.

That sounds good. I'll coordinate it with the store. Seems like Magic will be around that time.

Prerelease weekend is 4/27 and 4/28.  Release weekend isn't much of an issue, but there's going to be a 500 point 40k event in Abington on 5/4.

Awesome. I'll look for a weekend after the 4th then that works.

Thanks. That should give me enough time to get Tiberion and a Mammoth all set up and painted.

I was wondering if she was going to lure you back.  :D

Ordered two of her upon release.  Should have got 10 or 15.

She's been out of stock since.

Don't rush them! I'm still painting eHexeris before I'm even primed Tiberion!

any idea what the point value would be?

I think the rules call for 75 pts, 2 casters. I'm not 100% sure tho.

If it's late enough in the month maybe I can finish my second Stormwall. :)

I think I'll participate in this event! Do you have a better idea of when it'll happen?
