You slippery b... very clever. I live alone so I can buy toy soldiers whenever I want. Or is it the other way around? Arrived this morning. See you all in the Space Hulk painting thread.

Mine was waiting on the doorstep when I got home from work 10 minutes ago. Luckily out of the rain or mr Postie would have had it.... It's all crisp and shiny, just need someone to have a first game with. |

Mine arrived too - spent the evening unpacking and de-spruing it all, wow, the models are awesome up close, I'm really looking forward to having a crack at them - marines and 'stealers both - but a bit daunted too as I don't want to mess up lol. |

just finished my solitaire game, played mission 1, marines beat the objective with 1 casualty, so i played to see if it was actually a suicide mission. Answer? Most definately, the surviving two were caught in the first room (after deployment) by oh, i dunno, 16 stealers? that said there were no overwatch jams until the original objective was complete... |

I dug out my old copy of space hulk at the club on sunday, and one of the other members GAVE me a stack of genestealers from Macragge sets he didn't want. I now have a full set of SH1.0 to awe the little tackers with. To paraphrase BSG. All of this has happened before and will again. |

Well I've been waiting in anticipation for my advance ordered copy to arrive at my local GW store (Ipswich). I thought, 'oh I might as well have it delivered there 'cause I'll be at work when the postie tries to deliver it (also saves awkward questions from wife and kids (moreso the latter: 'How come you get to buy more miniatures, and I don't get £40 for a new handbag?' Gotta love teenage step-daughters... )), plus I can walk in to town from work and pick it up.'When I ordered it was told it *might* arrive with their mail order delivery the next Thursday (which is now last week, keep up everyone! ), so I went in and was told, 'no we haven't got it; it might be in tomorrow (friday).' Wasn't in work Friday so I rang them Tuesday, but no, still haven't got it - the store hasn't even got their copies to sell in the store!??!So I'm hoping that it's come today - I think that it's really [please, not in front of the children]ing stupid that GW send advance orders to their store AFTER they've mailed them out direct. Yeah, thanks, it make is totally worth my while to advance order direct from one of their stores... way to encourage direct sales, guys! [claps sarcastically] I'm just bitter, me wants the precious boardgame, me wants it NOW!

well its saturday the official day so i'm not surprised they dont have them in the backroom. but its better than that. I was told that having sold out of the allocated number to ordering direct, they cut back the number that were going to be sent to the stores. so I think that anyone with a 'oh i'll just pick one up in store' without having preordered/reserved is going to be somewhat dissapointed. these are the proverbial hot cakes! |

I've got mine, hand delivered to me in the mess hall too! (to the cry of GEEK!! from my course mates) All I can say is it smells really good! Seeing how my ASBO son is grounded for most of his natural life I will have someone to play against every night for the near future too . Who needs gaming buddies when you can just make and grow your own?!?

I WANT MY COPY. I swear our postman hates me... He'll get what's coming to him! (Unless I get home tonight and it's there, in which case I might take him out for a pint instead.) |

Sweet. Our exec loves to try and wind me up about it, hasn't learnt that I'm not bothered because most people already know. Then they tell me they used to play too (but gave up on reaching puberty as the joke often goes). Did have someone stand up at the front of a lecture and present me with my copy of White Dwarf during my officer training, that was a nice touch. |

I'm gonna get crucified but I had a game at WHW yesterday and found it a bit...slow. All that spending action points business and the deluge of counters left me a bit cold. |

Well, I managed to get down to WHW world today, and was told I CAN'T reserve a copy. The only option left to me is to turn up on Saturday with my fingers crossed. I have to be honest and say I am thinking of giving it a miss, something deep inside is trying to tell me I don't really want it. |
