Just pictures.  As soon as Tramps has the book and Tanks - I will have the book and Tanks. 

Are Endtimes armylists and special characters allowed for the fantasy tournament? Might want to post some tournament guidelines?

  Why wouldn't you do that?  I asked if you would run the event, or at least make it a gamesday - and you agreed that you would.  I then let Comic Readers know.  You may put any rules or limitations you see fit for the event...true?  It was also mentioned that you could just do a gamesday as you weren't certain of a tournament, and considering we weren't sure how many were showing, a gamesday was a better idea.

  I may have to reread our PM's, but that's the understanding I had.

Dana, I'll host a Warhammer Fantasy event/demonstration.  How many tables would be available?

Don.

Ok, so everything is pretty much glued together and now on to painting. 

  I'm trying to find spray paint that'll match late war armoured British - with no luck.  I bought a jar of Tamiya X-51 or whatever that Kage recommended on his site.  Should I just get an airbrush?  Do you prime before airbrushing the Tamiya paint?

  I want to make sure this is as accurate as possible.

  Another thing;  I put together the M5 half tracks and I can't figure out what models go on what %#$&@!* bases for the motor platoon.  :confused  Do I just try to match the silhouette's on the army list?

Was wondering about that.  I have the Market Garden book and Overlord book that I read in bed every night. Bought a bunch of the older books off of Dean Dodge. 

  I have a few lists made in EasyArmy and they're all 1650 points is that right?  I've made an 11th Armoured Recce squadron (Market Garden), Desert Rats 7th (Overlord), and an 11th Armoured from the Taurus Pursuant PDF.

  The theme is always the same:

2 Cromwell HQ, Crom ARV (possibly 2 Crom CS)
3 Crom, 1 Challenger
3 Crom, 1 Challenger
Motor Platoon, 4 M5's and dudes
4 M10's

  Now, depending on the list I also have 4ea  25 pdr's, 4 Sextons, 2 Crusaders, and 2 Cromwell CS added to the above.

- Considering I already have 8 Cromwells and 2 Challengers, do I really need the M10's? They almost seem redundant and would free up a lot of points

Since this is a Tank army (M10 conundrum), it seems I could benefit from the Cromwell CS, Sextons and Crusaders.  Without them I only have the motor Platoon for infantry and nothing for AA.  Is AA that important?  I suppose only when you need it!

The Motor Platoon looks cool so I think it stays and helps the foot fellows keep up with the Tanks.

25 pounders seem handy, but what to drop for them?

I don't understand the game well enough to realise the value difference between the Desert Rats Reluctant/Veteran and the other lists Confident/Trained.

Is it reeaaaally that important to have platoons of 4 tanks over 3?
 
  More newbie questions to follow...

Ah - got it.  Didn't realize they replaced them, just thought they added more.

  That's too bad as the Desert Rat list in Villers was really cheap! 

Kage, you've been kind of quite as of late.  I can't have that as you're part of the reason I got into Flames of War.

  I will say that Easy army is the handiest thing ever!  How come they don't have the Villers Bocage book in their list? 

Not gonna lie, I barely understood that.  Is that bad?  Is that why you rarely see M10's?

After all the things I bought, I saw the Guards Armoured Recce Company Box, which I simply couldn't believe as that's EXACTLY what I wanted the whole time.

  One box (BRAB07) comes with:

2 Cromwell HQ
3 Cromwell/ 1 Challenger
3 Cromwell/ 1 Challenger
3 Stuarts
4 M10 3"

  So, going through the Market Garden Book, I noticed the list for this but am still confused as to what I should fill the rest in with.  If it's the 11th Armoured, the above comes out to about 1200 points.

  What should I fill it out with?  I need boots on the ground so a rifle company or 5 would be a good start.  Not a lot of points left though.

  Should I drop the 4 M10's?  Turn those into another Cromwell/Challenger group which is cheaper?

Fair enough.
