That and I think the tournament scene is (sadly) where all the money is.  The love of the hobby is a distant second to selling a 17 year old kid five of the same tank so he can smash his buddies faces in as soon as he can glue them together and throw them on the table.

Fixed that for you.

I looked at this and immediately thought 'Eisenhorn's gun-cutter'.

Nonsense, I've seen "pro painted" stuff on eBay.  It's been painted and assembled by pros...

Professional somethings anyway...

SothR was baaaaad. Played it to death on PC, but couldn't get past a skaven mission in a mountain pass. Always lost too much models, making the rest of the game impossible to complete. Which sucked because that was at about 80% in the game.
Sometimes I replayed missions 10+ times if the digital dice were against you (with the wizard's spells doing nothing for instance). Although I think the game was bad (DO was way better),  I still have good memories of it  

Admittedly it was a bit harsh, if you lost too many men you had to restart the mission or the game would let you carry on wih no hope of winning future battles. I completed it a few times although only ever after going through Zhufbar, I tried the other route a few times and never managed it.

The first time I finished the game I used a cheat (I was playing the PC version) that let your wizard cast spells again and again. I did eventually.finish it wihout the cheat although it was blooming difficult. Kids nowadays wouldn't stand for it.

Oh my. They are... wonderful?
So if I got a professional painter to undercoat my minis. Would that count as pro painted?

[Elbows]

Yep, and you could sell them for $40 a figure!

I thought it already was one? 
(I wouldn't put it past the Inquisition to go scavenging after the Nids had their Short-n-Beardy All You Can Eat Buffet...)

"Filthy deviant-spawned heretical tech-trash! ... We'll take it."

Though on second thoughts, it might not make a good gun-cutter if this or this are supposed to be them.

Soo, looks like there is another version of kill team out in a months time. I like the idea, though there appears a strong suggestion you will once gain be drafting your forces from the normal codexi which might not be as balanced at they make it appear. Still I'm pretty happy to see GW support skirmish level games in even more shapes now, what with most of their board games being just that already.

I just couldn't quite bring myself to subscribe to the new WD, but it's out. There's a review here - http://diceandbrush.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/review-white-dwarf-sept-2016-monthly-wd.html

Any thoughts/opinions from those who've got the new version?

Very good value , with the miniature sweetening the deal (he's bloody massive!)
Solid battle reports, cool articles on modelling and miniature design, a very frank and open letters section, plenty of nostalgia and humor.

Reminds me of white dwarf when i started buying it around the late issue 200's.
