I'll be there with the majority of Team North America and some of the other regulars also.

And as a side note we'll have many past Gold Demon winning models and just plain kick butt looking minis on display.

Mike Butcher and I will be doing a free seminar on converting and painting for building kick butt armies. Multi time Slayersword winner Chris Borer will also be doing a free sculpting seminar. TheMightyTechmarine Nathan Commanse will be doing a Advanced 40k Vehicle Modeling, and if you have seen his work its very advanced. And much much more.

And there will be many of us doing Q&A's also free all day long.

Key word "FREE". Course GW will make you pay to get in.

So if you are there swing by and tell me how much I suck. :thumbup:
