Just played another skirmish game. 550 pts Guard vs Guard, and I had extreme trouble getting my RR squad into base to base. They never made it. Any one else have this problem, or am I using them wrong?

No problems. RR are Infiltrators, which means their charge range is 40 cm.
I have used RR extensively as a counterattack unit. When an enemy formation gets too close, they get charged by RR's.

Doh!!!! 'sound of hand slapping forehead' Arrghgh! I forgot about that. Too many rules, too little brain-power. 
Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, I finally got my first order of E-A from GW- US! 
- 2 Rule Books,
- 1 pack of Land Raiders,
- 1 pack of Rhinos,
- 1 pack of Whirlwind/Hunters,
- 1 pack of Predators,
- 1 pack of L/Russ Co.,
- 1 pack of IG Arty,
- 1 pack of Stormtroops and
- A blister of Ork Scorchas & Buggies! ?
All very neat and most appear to have molded out well! Rhinos and Raiders appear a bit larger then the previous releases, but all in all I'm satisfied. I'll be preordering my next bunch tomorrow, based on the list in new issue of W/D, I just got today also. I'll check on my Fan Mag too! It has been an Epic Day!

How do the stormtroopers look in real life?
I can not wait to get some myself.

Sadly, L4 is not the only one. When I ordered the EA rulebook, GW sent me two by mistake; and charged me for both (no freebies there). The really sad bit is that I kept both, didn't complain, didn't return one and demand $ back - I couldn't decide which of the two to keep. 
So one lives on a bedroom shelf, with LOTR and Warmaster rules, and the other in the study, with BFG rules and The Generals' Compendium...
Sadder and sadder still, I also have two Warmaster rulebooks... bought one, got given the second, couldn't part with it. The small 'uns have a big hold on me.
I think I need help....

L4, in the pics the Stormtroopers look like regular IG troopers. Are the models similiar or are they a different sculpt?
Thanks,
Adrian

The Stormtroopers hasn't got the coat worn by the Valhalllan/Steel legion guardsmen. I agree that the pose is very similar but it is definitely a different sculpt. The heads and backpacks are also slightly different. Lovely models!
Cheers!

Yup, they are new sculpts as Warmaster pointed out. I have pics of the stand from the book as a WIP that gives more angles on the models. You can see them Here in my galleries  _________________ 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.

Yes, Warmaster and Tuff are correct ... very nice figures ! And Primarch, I'm still working on some E40K and even some SM2 !  Plus Epic Forge World and various terrain pieces ! So I'm pacing myself !
