LOL, good to have you back, whilst you were away I have been collecting a Chaos army which I hope to field soon.
The battle report will be in a future Incoming! issue, the report with the Dark Angels was my first game in eight years so I was a tad rusty.

Haha, Touche! All is fair in love, war and Incoming! articles. I'll get off my butt and try to put it together.

Hi!
Here is where I put in my two cents of continual reminding you <i.e. harrassment>- where are the remaining army cards? <grin>
A friendly message from your neighborhood net epic coordinator, hehe.

Just a thought but the NetEpic online store could probably sell starter
armies.
The mailing list could suggest the army lists so that the starter force is
balanced and effective.
Tom.
PS: The Epic launch is any day now, for squat fans, check out the second
hand section (Bargain Basement) for some nicely painted deals.
I have included pictures of all second hand stock as there is nothing worse
than paying for a badly painted minature or getting a minature that is
incorrectly painted for your army.
