With only five weeks left until the big bash, we're all trying to balance getting everything done with finally getting outside for some sun and yardwork.

The Granite City Waaagh!Fest staff were inspired by everything we saw down in Hunstville, even if it wasn't what was originally planned. (click over too here for the pics…). It made us realize we've got some really big-hearted and friendly shoes to fill. It also reminded us we've got lots of work to do!

A number of us have started working on adding to the terrain we already have so we can liberally cover 16 tables with fine, quality terrain. More trees have been added to the tree box at Bakers, I'll be picking up two more 4'x'8 sheets of foam and paint/flock for a butt load of hills, and most of us are putting together a bunch of buildings to help add a lot of interest to the tables along with great places to hide and get cover saves.

I've also emailed all the registered participants and let them know that Granite City Waaagh!Fest T-shirt orders are due by May 27th (only three weeks) and army lists must be received by June 4th. I'll be sending out reminders a couple days before each.

For those who haven't registered, head on over and secure your spot today. For everyone who has already done so, get outside and enjoy the weather – you can't tell how long this will last!
