Sorry, but what GW two fleet deal is this?  This sounds extremely
interesting.
Can I have some more details?  Always interested in package deals. 
Thanks.

I've obviously gone a little fuzzy on the 'deal'. I thought you had your
choice
of the original box plus stuff to make a larger fleet, either Imperial
OR Chaos.

I'm pretty certain it was a pre-release offer, and, in US, $120-$130.

Whatever, I wasn't that impressed with cost 'savings', but Mark's right,
good
way to get a large block of figs fast. I'm jealous of the pin, though.

As for flack, if you mean buying mail order or local, it's GW that
should get
the flack for undercutting they're distribution. You go, guy.

I did buy my copy direct from local guy. You gotta love, and support, a
guy
that sez, 'here, Doug, I don't need these...' and 'these' turn out to be
a
fair-sized unit of Citadel Melibonean cavalry.

I went for this deal mainly because I need this minis for my Gothic
Thrust game at GenCon.

Mark, have you gotten anything worked up for posting about your new
rules
variation, or are you going foist 'em on the players without a warning?
;->=

I think I've seen hints here and there, but, after a psuedo-demo on Sat
of
GW's rules, I think I'd like to have some FT-based ones to show folks.

I reckon someone's pulling your leg, there aren't any ships with drill
bits for
noses.

Well, SpaceFleet had an Imperial ship with a drill bit coming out of a
'mouth'
at the prow. And two claws on other side. Truly sick, and would do fair
as an
Ork vessel.

The Ork Hulk picture built by Chambers has a claw on one side, and an
extendible
missle rack on the other; pleasant to see bits of the old SpaceFleet
line
(Tyrant
tail, for one) carried into the new, even if only as garbage.

I wonder how many folks will pick up on the part of 'you can build your
own...'
