The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Tactalvanic]

hmmm. switch off full pessimist mode - illiminates excessive profanity/sarcasm...

So when the chain of Warhammer shops are closed down for dropping sales figures   

It won't be because of GW business decisions, and won't damage their reputation as they are not Gamesworkshop.... shops.   

Sounds more like an experiment to separate the retail street shop brand from the "GW" brand, while making sure they max their "ownership" of the Warhammer name if it actually succeeds.

Suspect the new CEO was only required to say "why yes I think that's a great idea you just told me I had oh might powers that be", or possibly just "yes".

maybe the next change the signs will say either "closed" "foreclosed" or just "Hasbro"

Interesting... this occurs before a new CEO is in place? Reinforces the decision-making ability they expect that person to have.

Just office politics/backstabbing 101: If the idea works, it was the former CEO's inspired parting gift to the company, if it doesn't work, then it is clearly because the new guy made a mess of it...

The fact they went for designer black and stylish understated lettering makes me fear that sometime soon, when you walk in, you'll see single boxes of product on pedestals, under glass cases, art gallery or apple-store style.

Unfortunately the vast majority of people who buy into GW won't read this thread and therefore will be none the wiser therefore perpetuating the 'myth' of GW...

We can only snigger from a back seat and not really do anything about it...

Went into the local GW store here in Amsterdam and EVERYTHING has changed!  Did you see the new table they're releasing?

I hear they're calling it 'Cameltoe Bend', not sure why though....??

[Damas]

I think I'd like to play across that! 


Secondly, what on EARTH were you searching for to find that image? 

[beefcake]

That's some massive bush!

I think the Oldhammer page on FB.  Happy Sunday!

Lol very interesting topography and very pleasing to the eye

She genuinely must have a lot of patience to do that, if its real of course.

Now I know why trolls like to live under bridges.

You win the internetz! And a couple skullz, too.

[Dolmot]

Could we return to discussing the immaturity of those GW gamers?

[Westfalia Chris]

What the good fellow in the post above said.

To put the thread back on track, I got a mail from GW the other day to the tune of that while Space Hulk has "sold out" in Europe, they "found" a couple of copies in warehouses around the world and are shipping them back for central distribution from the UK. Now in "marine transit".

Make of that what you will. As a logistics professional by trade, it makes my neck hairs stand on edge.

[Ajsalium]

Yup. Saw that on Frothers.

Apparently they expect to receive them "early December"? So in time for the Christmas shopping season. Goooo figure...

[Modhail]

Funny isn't it? Especially if you consider the exact same thing happened with the previous 2009 "one time only" release of Space Hulk.
