The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

I also expect it's much larger than it looks when presented by itself.

After some interesting poses in the starter box, GW's sculptors have retreated to their squatting, legs akimbo safe space.

See I really want to like these Primaris Marines but they are just too damn clean cut and neat (Not the paint job but the sculpt) much like the Mk.7 but taken too the extreme.

I wish they looked more gritty like Mk.3, Hmmm I may have to do some helm and pad swaps with Mk.3 and see if that helps.

I concur. So I did.

[Chico]

Great minds think alike eh?

That helps alot they lot good mate, now I'm thinking MK.3 helm and pads, plus switch out the backpack to the more classic Mk.4

I got a feeling this'll get expensive fast hehe

Leaks around about new basing kits. Sprues of vines and bracken in flexible plastic (pvc?) and a pack of 300 skulls.... self parody yes but come on, they should have done that years ago. I'm 100% buying a set. 

[Major_Gilbear]

Oh, they have sold packs of skulls before - that's nothing new really.

[Andrew May]

But a pack of over 300 plastic skulls? 

[Reed]

In the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, everything needs more skulls. MORE.

Flexible plastic vines....I'm curious. Where's the rumour from?

As for the skulls...I've never actually had a need for skulls and if i did I have enough of a GW bits box that I could probably restart civilisation with plastic skulls acting as currency , but if they're nice I may look into it.

(Ignore me, I just found it.The vines look great and will be a must buy!)

[beefcake]

I'd probably get some skulls if they are cheap enough
I really want to make a skull obelisk.

[Andrew May]

I wonder how the vines etc will handle paint though? Wouldn't want someone's GD entry suddenly flaking paint at the slightest touch!

[beefcake]

I just received my first box of GW stuff in a long time. The new small boxed set of marines and Nurgle guys. I only gave it a slight lookin because my Reaper Bones 3 stuff arrived the same day... in a box 10x the size .

GW must be having fun watching the reaction to this one. Lots of wild speculation about what the code means...

Seems to me '78903' most likely refers to September 1987. 30 years of 40k. No idea on the rest.

If they aren't having fun then I am! Dakka dakka and /tg/ are tearing each other apart over a thousand different theories, all of them with no grounding and all of them willing to die for their theory.
I'm starting to wonder if this new openness from GW is actually a way to subversivley purge the internet of That guys by giving them stress heart attacks.
