Doesn't look like a limo. If they brought out a limo I would be all over it.

I quite like the taurox. I'd leave off the turret, all the guns and as much of the chintzy shit as possible and then I reckon I'd have a nice (but very daft) little truck thing. It's definitely grown on me since it was first released.

A friend of mine did almost exactly that.

Talking of limos, there is a company that does one in resin but I forgot which. Can anyone remind me?

[Summary] Fantasy wargamers are drama queens. They loooove horrible monsters, chivalrous knights and bright colours. They either love or hate Games Workshop - no reasonable inbetween, if I might believe the forums. And they looove the fear or hope that GW will die. The Downfall Of An Empire. Death Of A King. That storyline.

Personally I'm not really into fantasy - Napoleon is my hero, not a fictional Sigmar on a gryphon - but I'm very interested in how the top companies try to dominate the market and what their strategies are. Just like football: I don't play it, but I just can't get enough of football stats and formation stuff. So I happen to follow Games Workshop. And what do GW's results tell us? I tried to figure out.

That would be the limited edition 1.000 copies world wide right?

I think this is the beasty - https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Codex-Genestealer-Cults-Ltd-Ed

- the full-colour 104-page Codex: Genestealer Cults;
- the 32-page How To Paint Citadel Miniatures: Genestealer Cults;
- 36 Tactical Objective cards;
- 7 psychic powers cards
- a double-sided poster featuring Genestealer Cults artwork
- 6 Tactical Objective markers, in the shape of Genestealer Cult icons.

Still doesn't seem even remotely worth it, and I quite like the genestealer side of things.

32 pages of "paint it purple" seems a tad much as well o_o
