Maybe it's my computer, but suddenly your pictures are coming up like Tom's, just a big red X.

 
I blame your computer. Or your quite sane desire to avoid looking at expensive miniature porn. 

Warmachine makes some nice minis. Glad I'm not really into them or I'd have to watch even more money get traded for more unpainted metal to sit around.
 

Well crap, I don't know what happened either, they were there when I previewed it.

I will be bringing Dark-age and WM/Hordes this year.

It is always trying but I will have to ensure that I limit the number of factions/armies that I bring, as it is a pain to ship them to my parents house prior to the event and ship them back home afterwards.

It definately requires that I plan my armies better!  But encourages me to only bring the painted stuff.

I'm bringing several army options for Confrontation. For those who aren't familiar with the game, the various races all have faction packs as well, making Goblins (For example) into 7 or 8 different armies, with entirely different feels.

Example: Black Rats use Naptha powered weapons, as well as focusing on other tech, while The Mound of Dirt focuses on elite Knights and units of few, but very tough melee troops. Clan X is the Mutant faction (Yes, yes...I know...and goblins are very prone to Mutations) .the Burrowers are a plains living tribe, who forsake the goblins usual reliance on numbers for ferocious heroes, and an even stronger synergy with the Trolls that share their warrens.

So, I will be bringing Goblins, Orcs, maybe some Cadwallon (Free City of Mercs). Plenty of options to show others the game...

I might bring my Hordes (Trollkin) or Warmachine (Cygnar) as well, depemding on space.

 I will (probably) be bringing an army or two for confrontation as well. I have goblins too. The rackham goblins are awesome visually. I couldn't pick just one theme, so I don't enjoy the benefits of the themes, but I do get to bring the red troll, dai-bakemonos, and noble strohm knights. I will also be bringing my wolfen, and my Tir-Na--Bor Dwarves, if I come up with three different army configurations, and they all fit in my travel case. I'm flying in, so space is limited. But I have no scheduled games, so I'm hoping there will be pick up games after hours. In particular, I'd be interested in learning Hordes.  Just to be clear, hordes and warmachine don't overlap, right? Sometimes I see references that look like they do, but I thought they didn't. I want to give it a try, if only because I can't seem to find local opponents for confrontation. I might try warmachine, but I painted a box of jacks once, and while it came out ok, it just didn't appeal to me. I like critters better. They didn't have much that wasn't jacks for warmachine at that time, and they might be more interesting now that the line is more fleshed out.

 Cerealkiller: Painting is what got me into confrontation. They are consistantly the best minis out there.  Find a faction that appeals to you and have fun.

 And while I'm on the subject, any Northern Va minis gamers around?

Actually you can play them against each other.  The Summer League is for Warmachine oo Hordes.  They have an updated rulebook coming out for Hordes, probably just before GC, that makes it even easier to cross play.

I play Legion of Everblight fo Hordes andCryx for Warmachine.

I have yet to paint my Legion, so I'm not sure if I'll have them with me or not.

Just to offer further clarification; Warmachine and Hordes overlap as much or as little as you want them to.  Hordes is an independent game and if you have a slew of like-minded creature lovers among those you game with, you could never touch Warmachine from a gameplay perspective.  However, since both games occur in the same world, at the same time, some elements of the backstory overlap and the games can be played against one another.

 My brother and I will both have our Hordes stuff - be happy to teach the game, though I'm sure that there will be plenty of opportunities to learn - not the least of which from the PP guys themselves.
