  1. Glad to see the move to 1,750 points. It's my preferred game size and (much more importantly) I think it'll support the game-heavy schedule you've got better than 2K.

  2. Thanks Mike for the updates. After the roaring success of Malifaux at Adepticon, I am glad to see that the Nova Open is expanding their offering too.

    Also, is there any word on a Paint Score Packet for the 40K GT yet?

  4. A second request for the Paint Score Packet. I want to see how incredibly horrid my models are.

    Any chance the author is A D-B?

  5. A D-B is getting married this summer so I doubt it would be him. But I wouldn't mind it if it was.

    Glad to see the update, and enjoying 1750, it's my personal favorite point level.
