I am going and i make sure to take many pictures and ask many questions of the guys there :slight_smile:

Xander:

Yay! Loki for Pres!

This message was automatically appended because it was too short.

Loki:

I should do a press interview wearing my big hat lol :hat

KramDratta:

+1

Hopefully the Dawi Zharr will be present somehow…

Xander:

Do you have a phone that supports MMS? :smiley: You could do twitpic updates for the twitter feed if you do!

Otherwise, you could do regular twitter updates through text messages. :slight_smile:

Loki:

Do you have a phone that supports MMS? :D  You could do twitpic updates for the twitter feed if you do!

Xander
I can update to the site throught the net as my phone can do that but only text no pictures i can do them once i return form the day as i have the next day off work

Vash:

“top secret project” :~ yeah right, everybody knew about it, just nothing had been announced officialy.

still great news though, i’ve always loved the forge world stuff… and their expansion books are always rich with background info and stories. i hope the new warhammer forge books will be of simular quality.

Loki
So no MMS? I assume you can text message? Would you want to update the CDO Twitter while there? It's as simple as sending text messages. :)

Patrikson:

HOLY CRAP!

THIS IS AWESOME!

I’M REALLY EXCITED!

faints from the awesomeness

Baggronor:

"top secret project" yeah right, everybody knew about it, just nothing had been announced officialy.
Well, it is top secret as in we don't what they're making :) Hopefully they have spent the last year making awesome Chaos Dwarfs and Hellcannon upgrades but somehow I doubt it :~

Sadly I can't go as I'm otherwise engaged on that day, but looking forward to seeing the photos and updates :)

Xander
I dont know i have an I phone i have never used twitter before but last year i did a running blog of things from gamesday but i can always give it a go

Xander:

Oh, nice! You have MMS then! You can send emails, right?

If you can send emails, you can update the Twitpic feed. What’s your email address? I will send you more info. If you don’t want to post your email address, PM it to me. :slight_smile:

warh:

I bet they will release fishmen before Chaos dwarfs:P

clam:

Interesting :smiley:

I don’t see them doing a hole unsupported race - for a start. Think we’ll see cool war machines and monsters for a variety of races - so why not a few more chaos dwarf war machines for the mortal warriors? I think that could happened.

@Loki

Have a nice stay at GD, Loki - sounds nice if you could keep us all posted during the day - and should you stumble on a GD '10 sorcerer - you know where I live :wink:

AssurBahniZharr:

In the end this was a true rumor…since first half of 2009.

Could be also true the rumor of Chaos Dwarfs Warhammer Forge Army.

I must say i feel indulgent to the hope!

Shakhorth:

Now just hope they’ll actually make something we want, like I don’t know… CD’s!!!

It’s exciting news and we’ll depend on Loki to provide indepth information, no pressure. :smiley:

nitroglysarine:

Looks promising, REALLY promising.

Thommy H:

Hm. Mixed feelings. There’s a part of me that’s worried about what they might do with Chaos Dwarfs. New figures are great, but what if they go in some mad new direction? Forge World can be a little…out there…sometimes. Also, I’ll be sad to see the end of the era of Chaos Dwarf fans creating a whole lot of stuff from very little content - it will be a shame to see that innovation and passion get swallowed up by a whole new range of figures, rules and background.

But we’ll see.

nitroglysarine:

lets hope they do a few odd bits, and we’ll convert them

more of a starting block than a diversion from our great conversions :smiley:
