Hi!
><grin> Of course I am! You don't collect over 300000 points and 120 titans without going overboard or >being slightly deranged.

  I understand that - I did at one point have around 400K (SMVII points) of IG / Marines alone but I got almost all that stuff cheap, second hand when everyone bailed out the hobby. :)

  Thats a lot indeed! I picked up a lot that way too when people bailed out of epic, why you get rid of it though?

  Everything they have in 40K plus the manta Missile destroyer (mind you - if will gets his way they'll have that in 40k as well...)as I understand it (btw - you'll want a stack of pathfinders - I'm not sure if there's been any pictures on the web yet but they're absolutely incredible!). I haven't heard much about Kroot though so can't say for them.

  Yes I saw the pics, very nice indeed! I would like to see the kroot too, but we'll see. Sounds like they have enough variety.

  Well, good luck to you! I'll let Tony know he need's to double the casting run :) I know they're figuring on it being a display range and not something people will want full armies of - they'll have to change their plans I guess!

  Hehe, that would be funny if they didn't make enough, then again I'm patient.

  I look forward to seeing the photos of it :)

  Actually I am nearing an end of my inventory. It took ten full days to lay out, dictate and transcribe the quantity of units and take a global picture of each army, painted and unpainted. I wonder how much I really have now since the numbers I quote are pretty old (about 4 years old if I remember correctly). I have certainly picked up a prodigous amount of stuff lately. Perhaps I'm closer to 400k now, or even more.

  If you'd like I'll get you a full list and the picts to put on the website, if but just for the pure shock value!

  Oh, before I forget, you ever go over my DSII conversions and Heresy? Let me know.

  Peter
