Don't count on it before 2008...The Tau ain't scheduled until 2007!
Cheers

My Epic Eldar army is even wittier - following an evening of archaeological excavation in my model storage zone, I discovered I don't have two Phantoms and a Warlock (Titan), but two Warlocks (0-1 per army) .... bugger! Oh, and a forgotten pair of Warp hunters - splendid rooks!
I also unearthed six Eldar Knights - no more chessing about, now, these will take the role of Wrtaithlords. A bit big, but rather splendid.
The excavations also unearthed a few more forgotten treasures, including a few IG tanks and chimeras (and a single rough rider!), a couple of the old Ork battlewagon variants, the plastic base, legs+body, and carapace of the old plastic Warlord (no head, no weapons, but these should not pose much of a problem) and (groan) - remember the old Space Marine era 'Ork Horde' box? I'd forgotten I had one of these, with 30 plastic Battlewagons and 200  orks, still on their sprues!

And all the models I mentioned are unfinished! I too have a (less lavish) display cabinet, but this contains WH or 40K stuff mostly, with a few BFG/Epic/Warmaster/Man'O'War models dotted around - oh, a nd a single LOTR Moria goblin.
Still, it's fun finding stuff you'd forgotten about -digging my very first Gargant out of its ancient sarcophagus, where it has lain for nigh eight years (and four different jobs ago!) brought tears to my eyes (partly bec. of cpious flying dust).
His expression reminds my of one of my uncles..
Have updated my Eldar army list - I somehow managed to put together a 2000+ points army - although the absolute lack of vehicles is pathetic:
1 Avatar + court
1 Aspect Warrior warhost
4 Guardian warhosts (the Space Marine box Eldar have found their army), with 1 Warlock each
1 Ranger troupe (cuning use of bases with hidden rangers on them!)
2 Windrider troupes
1 spirit warrior troupe, with 3 Wraithlords (3 of my old Eldar Knights)
1 Phantom Titan (the Warlock is too expensive to constitute 1/3 of the points.
Oh well ,a general's got to make do with what he's got, but I think a few falcons - at least - would not be amiss. Dare i use the plastic ones?!?
cheers
PS - re reference to Indy - if I'd tried to use a whip I'd slash my face open; so instead ..
 WARNING - TERRIBLE ORCKPUNNING AHEAD
.. I converted a rather oriental looking Orc for WH, with a whip in one hand. He was found lost and alone by an orc warband, which he promptly submitted and took for his own. He's come west from the plains of Cathay, but does not remember his name, or his home. His orcs and goblins wear black warpaint and armour and tiger stripes, and plunder the towns at the borders of the Empire. These are the brave Raidas of da Lost Orc!

"Fascinating !"  I'd take the revolver over the whip ... but I do have an Indy-ish Fedora ! Oh, and I forgot I have all the new F/W Eldar still in boxes/bags too !

Hi!
I'm fortunate that I have all my 9 (including Traitor, Squat and F/W Tau & Kroot) Epic Armies in my War Room.
|
My final quest, once I finally invest in owning a home, its to also have a "war room" and give my armies a permanent home.
May be that day isn't too far off.....

Hi!
Is your storage space adequate? I find thats a more pressing concern than table space.

Yes, I have some on shelves and even some terrain (mostly GEO-Hex) in boxes under the tables. But "Available Space" is on it's way to critical mass !
