Why? Most stores don't know anything about the mailing list.
Think mentioned it in Derby before and have done in Portsmouth
definetly. Think I even took in Q&A results once to let them
have a look but even then they wern't interested.

Missed this. My usual oppenent had available to field at least, 2
Imperators 6 Warlords, 8 Warhounds, 6 Overlords, 2 cylcops, 2 colosus
lots of Gyro copters, lots of Terminators, at least 6 Thunderhawks.
My Ork army ended up losing lots as you can probaly imagine.
Unfortunatly because of lack of opponents never got to play many
different opponents so never had this problem.
Plus I would only field this kind of army for say 12k plus points
(SM/TL), and even then would only want to field it if new openent was
taking at least several Titans(and usually wouldn't play all the
Gargants).

I have 4 Mega's but only 1 painted so far, 1 almost finished, another
one lent to someone else to paint and not seen for at least 1 and a
halve if not 2 years.
I can carrry all my minatures and paints in two boxes with rules in a
rucksack. My arms feel lots longer if I have to walk far as they way
a ton. The only time they really got damaged was when one of the
boxes with my Gargants in fell of the shelve, summersalted and fell
about a metre to the floor, and that took lots of repairing.

PS My point was when they said bring everything they didn't actually
mean it when they saw it.
