I should have added that I've already emailed with my concerns, but its a bit awkward since I have to complain to Fanatic & them complain on to FW (as far as FW are concerned, Fanatic were their customer, not me).
I dont want to take up too much of Tom's time sorting this out when I know they're going Nuts getting everything ready for E:A, the new Mag & filling the void left by Steve's passing.
I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to see what happens now!

I thought you had some Marauders on the was as well Tuff?
Also, I agree Fanatic could be overworked at this point in time, but you have to remember that in theory, Fanatic are overstaffed, as they only generate 5% of GW's sales, and have more man power than (in theory) is needed!
Cheers
Chris

Well, yeah, there were a few other bits, but one doesnt like to brag 
Those listed were all the vehicles. I also got 2 Marauders, another Harriadan & 2 ruinded Librariums (though those mirraculasly arrived complete, not ruined, so I'm getting them swapped!)_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Ha ha, thats a good trick.
The Ork trukks do have a lot of flash on their rams. I had 3 with zzapp gunz and 3 armoured ones. All of them had a large chunk there. I got all off okay though, until the very last one, which snapped the ram off too.

How do you figure that out? Last I heard fanatic had something like 8 staff.
GW has 1600.
5% of 1600 would be 80 staff. They are far from overstaffed

I worked that out when Jervis said it himself at the Fanatic Seminar at Games Day 2003. He exact words were "Fanatic are in theory over staffed, as we only generate 5% of the sales" Tuffskull and Tom (Netepic) were also in the seminar, so they heard it as well!
Cheers

No point getting into an argument over it 
The comparison at GD was being made to the sizes of the respective "studios".
The Main studio has about 100 employees.
The Fanatic Studio has a mere 7 at the moment.
Thats still 7% staff for 5% profit & they're a man down at the moment (until they find someone mad enough to take up Steve Hambrook's post!).
However, the Fanatic team do have to work in more areas than the main studio, being responsible for the international distribution side of things for their product as well (which I imagine is a massive undertaking in itself!) and other areas._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Well I still haven't received my replacement Librium Ruins.
I happened to be up in Nottingham last weekend, and dropped in the faulty one on the Saturday at warhammer world. If I haven't recieved it when I get back tonight, I'll be a bit miffed.

Has anyone heard or know of a chaos proxy list anywhere?
I am trying to put together a chaos army, and would like to assemble it under epicA, but have pieces from the old chaos forces, epic40k, and other odds and ends. Any help would be appreciated.

There were a couple of versions of Chaos on the E:A downloads, on how to organize your Chaos forces.

Yes, but they omit the critical section on substitutions for the old OOP chaos pieces, of which I have a lot. Namely, what do you do with the Juggernauts, Discs, and Trolls, et all? I was working out how to convert them to Epic40k stats, but don't want to go to the trouble of organizing them for epic40k when epicA is right around the corner. See my delimma?
2cents, and confusion reigns,

This is just AFAIK... I could be wrong.
Juggers/ Steeds - Bikes
Discs - Screamers of Tzeentch
Trolls, Minotaurs - Big Mutants
Beastmen - Small mutants.
Slaanesh Knights -Defilers (though I really think these deserves their own stats!)
Various Daemon Engines count as War Altars
Uhm... there's more but thesewere the ones I could just think of the top of my head.
Cheers!
