Its time to look at the lists readers are making, and see just what people are experimenting with. List building is just a ton of fun, and I will be posting up in the order I receive them.
So if you would like to submit an army list (if you already have an idea of what you might field), shoot me your list to share with others. Please title your email "8th Edition Army Submission" or similar, and shoot it off to natfka@live.com. Only first names will be used along with the submission.
I know people have seen the rules, so lets skip that part whether you might have read them at a shop or have access to them, and just see what everyone is thinking for their armies.

I sat 7th edition out; too many USR and other crazy long winded stuff. But 8th edition is looking brilliant; like when 3rd edition came out, only better.
Cheers,
Steve
