I will be fielding 600 points of models I do not own, in order to make it to the 2000 point mark, including my warlord. Some of the models I have scratch-build alternatives, such as my paper broadsides, others I will simply have to make-do until I can afford the real deal such as me not owning shadowsun.

It's a long drive, so I want to know ahead of time if I will not be able to participate.
I know you're eager to play, but I think you need to be a little more patient. I didn't want to play with unpainted miniatures when I got back into the hobby, so I painted for 11 months before playing my first game. If you're going to play at a store or other event, you need to have the proper, assembled models at a minimum. Most people and events are okay with unpainted stuff, but I know I personally get a lot more enjoyment playing a game against another painted army.

The reasons stores host these events for us is to not only give the people who are spending money at their stores a place to play, but also so other customers can see how cool the stuff that is on the shelves really looks on the table. It's one thing to play with proxies and paper cutouts at home in the garage, but it looks bad on the table and doesn't help the store in any way when you have it on their tables.
