And I feel obliged to inform my fellow lead-adventurers that this topic has evolved into a dense article that will see the light in the nov-dec issue of Cargad (an spanish e-zine). Even if you can't read spanish, the pictures and the manufacturer's name will need no more explanation. I will keep you informed about this.

Excellent

On the subject of minis, I find GW's Lord of the Rings range excellent for some of the 'races' in Conan. The best fits for me are these guys: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat1110097

Great for Nords!

I'm afraid your link doesn't work. That's GW for ya. What figures were you talking about?

[Grimmnar]

Not for me, I get to the "choose country" screen.

[twrchtrwyth]

Choose country screen for me to.

Now to leave my a-hole nature aside. Guys, LOL just pick a country and your there. DOH!   :-)

Upon choosing a country, I get to the main page. Don't see what's so "LOL" about it.

Anyway, I just tried choosing US, and that seems to work (it brings me to the Dunland section of the webstore, which I presume is what Psyberwyche was linking to), but why would I normally choose a country I live over 5000 kilometers from and that GW is not based in?

[psyberwyche]

Sorry guys, didn't mean to  spark an argument.

I was indeed referring to their Dunlending Warriors, particularly the Chieftain.

As for the problems with the websites, I think it's because half the countries haven't switched over to the new site yet. See if this works:

The "LOL" is warranted. There are people on this list that can put together a complex list of whatevers into works of art, but when a screen comes up, to accommodate you in the proper language, people are just stumped. That is ironic, funny and by some considered possibly sad. It wouldn't not have been any big thing to pick a country, whose language you can read, just to see what would happen or to explain why the direct link didn't work.

This is how GW has set up their web site. They have interests all over the world, in many countries with many different languages. Each link is for a country they have a major interests in. So that for each link is the appropriate language for the country link you get. I choose the US link cause I live in the US and speak English. If there is no link for your country, and I am sure there are more than a couple, you choose one that you can read. I personally think it is a nice change to see a company website with more than one language option. You simply choose a country link so you can understand what you are reading.

Well, I am following this discussion since the beginning with great interest...

The link does not work for me, so 'choosing the obvious' is no option at least for Germans, seems like it works the same for Scandinavians.

Don't see what's so "LOL" about it.

Here is the second one who simply does not get it, not even the

warranted

LOL.


I was just trying to write something about the

a-hole side

of Grimnar's bold comments, but probably it's not worth the bother.

EDIT: I just set the quotes right...

[Rhoderic]

Let's just drop it. Clearly neither of us thinks we've done anything wrong so arguing will get us nowhere.
