[Deptheads] Guest of Honor/Special Guests for Gamex

[Patrick Havert]

I agree with Denys, Warmachine and even Flames of War seem like a no brainer 
inclusion for minis.

Robyn Nixon usually deals with the Privateer Press(Warmachine) people, is 
she Jose's new second?

The Flames of War guys had good energy which lead new people to play/try 
their games.  I like to see that, as it helps breathe life into an area that 
is harder to get newbies to try, due to the amount of work/expense involved.
