News

• Ooooh, baby! The NewHammer hype train has left the station and folks are getting excited about what is to come with 40k. Let’s talk about some of the information GW has released:
  • Unit & Weapon profiles:

• Movement: GW has told us quite a bit about the movement phase!
• Psychic phase: simplified, quick, relatively easy.
• We’ve also got a host of editorials on the site–with more on the way–from our staff writers speculating how these new rules will impact their favorite factions. Jump over to the blog and give them a read if you are interested.

• We’ve also got a HUGE sale going on right now. We went through all of our inventory and pulled everything we’re overstocked on and put it up for as much as 50% off! Make sure to jump in and take advantage of it. The sale runs through May 1st (Monday) but we are not here to take orders on Saturday and Sunday as we’ll all be at the Broadside Bash.

• Also, we’re coming up to registration time for the SoCal Open! May 1st (this coming Monday) will be the first opportunity to purchase a ticket for this first year event for what we are sure is going to grow into quite the west coast tournament!

• We’re coming down the home stretch with the News Letter give away! As a reminder, all you have to do is sign up for our news letter to be entered to win. If you are already subscribed, you are already entered. We will announce the winner on May 2nd in the News Letter to be sure to check it out!
