The rumors have been around for like 2 months now with no conformations till now...

Aug 21st in Baltimore ( bad location for just one con needs to be centrally located, but hey cheap air fair on South West in to BWI from B'ham) is the date. Also Tickets must be purchased in advance and are $25.
They added a note at the bottom to bring your armies....
This is just me speaking out loud....
We all saw it coming with how crappy they have been since like 2006, when there were ATL, Balt,LV,LA,Chi town, and Toronto... then Balt again for the seasons ending turnies....
The moneys spent had lowered a lot and the quality had suffered
80% of the people I knew that went to any of them were going solely to get FW stuff with out the shipping or for the Upcoming releases . With how the conversion rates against he GBP ( got a Reaver for less than I payed for a Thunderhawk...) have been and GW locking down any an all rumors , there have been little incentive to go...
I know that GW NA is HQed in Glenn Burnie MD , but come on Balt for the only con they put on?
If you are going to go big , have it in a Centrally located city or BIG city (LA,NY,CHI, Houston).
Aug 21st? To late in the season... If GW is trying to get the kids to play when they are young, they could have not picked a worse time other than Xmas time in the states for the kids OR their parents to attend. In the South East and Mid west a lot of School systems either start back to school the week before or the week after this weekend.
The cost is right , but no doubt they will hit us up for the GD model extra again like this year.
No Tix at the door? I like it, cut down on the retarded wait they used to have for the first hour or so... the FW like will still be like a 3+ hour wait though....
Enough of my rant... Tix go on sale on the 27th of this month... I May go to see how it turns out...
Also more on the nid is starting to creep out of the hive..... Army box on early to mid Dec... willing to bet NO new models in it since most of the new stuff does not come out till Jan.
Gaunts are slit up in to 2 different boxes.... the so called"Toxothrope " in English will be the "Venomthrope"
