Haynao, don't be hatin, lol!

I'm agreeing with Asmondai here, not because I am a hater, but rather because if you want to get back into the hobby proper, I'd stick with a new rulebook paired with a warm and welcoming on-line community first. wink

well i just looked into it, in my hast to get a rule book, i ordered mine while the 5th was still current, how ever the 6th was released 1 day before the 5th arrived at my door step. since i had ordered the 5th edition, i have not been back to the site. and in fact i i didnt know the shadowsword i had bought at games work-shop, back in 2008 i think, was a limited time only deal. any ways the new edition is ordered and hopefully will take only about a week or so to get here.

I'm sorry for any trouble my mistake my have caused... at lest we caught it in time... and for that i thank you all sweatdrop

Oh my, that's quite a slip! emotion_jawdrop

You may want to pop on their site a bit more often to avoid any more nasty surprises and if in doubt, do not hesitate to post your questions in the guild here, we are always happy to help out! emotion_yatta

10 minutes ago was the first time in almost a year that i have been on there website (just ordered the new book, and it should be here in a few days).

I would also maybe suggest getting a subscription to WD.... it will keep you up to date on all the new information coming up biggrin . always helps to be knowledgeable of new stuff coming out smile

had one, it was canceled for some unknown reason 6 months into the year long subscription (gave me 6 free copies) , i got 18 issues some where in a box. never really felt like renewing it. guess i was just scared it would get canceled again

If you're as far out as DarkElf says you are, might be useful. How far is the closest Hobby store to you?

the closest one to me, there's supposedly a games workshop out in the city over 100 miles away. sadly im the hotels only employee so i have to work every day some times late into the night as well. so i cant take off on a 200 mile round trip for a store they may or may not be there. to much of a cost with fair to great of a risk

well what i mean by there's supposedly one is i found a face book page for a store located in the state's capital city. how ever i have never seen it with my own eyes. so it may or may not be there. (i tend to take every thing on the web with a grain of salt as you never know if its a joke or just misinformation.) but i will look into it

Also consider looking into gaming stores outside of GW. There are often gaming stores which stock WH40K stuff (as well as other franchises) and have a couple gaming tables.

For an 8€ "hobby"-magazine, there´s whole a lot of advertising then
anything to do with the actual hobby.
Trust us, your better off with online-communities and forums then that
over-prized catalogue. sweatdrop

GW stores all have their own facebook page. Just check the address there and the most recent post, that should give you an idea whether it is real or not.

year, but again, its 59 miles to the only gaming store. really dont have the cash. how ever folks in town go to the capital city a lot, so im thinking of just setting up a ride with some one

The only GW store in my state is in OKC, but I go to an independent store in Tulsa. They have six 40K tables, two for Warmachine and seven folding tables for misc. gaming of modeling and painting. I have only been to the GW store once, and that was opening day. I was the third or fourth person in the door. I was not really all that impressed.

When I lived in Atlanta, my closest alternative was a store called HobbyTown USA. They're much bigger than a GW, but tend to carry more stuff, in addition to other games as well. That's why I suggested a hobby store. There were no gaming tables, but people there may be able to direct you to a local gaming club.

I've been contributing to this as well, but I think we need to get back on the topic of rule discussion and continue all further store discussion in a new thread, preferably in the Chatterbox, yes-yes?

I just recently got the Death From the Skies book I was trying to look something up for a friend in it, but I cannot seem to get an answer from it. Can the Space Wolves use the Stormraven or Stormtalon, or are they going to get new flyers later? The reason I ask the second question is because the book has entries for Space Wolf aerial maneuvers and Ace Pilots.

This is just GW being stupid about things, as while the Space Wolves do not have access to the codex flyers (Stormraven and Stormtalon) as of writing, they do have access to the Storm Eagle, Caestus Assault Ram and Thunderhawk, which are Forge World exclusives.
