GW really bursting at the seams with the next new thing of theirs...

Got the army book. Dissapointing. Recycled artwork and models. Ok, so the giant? Why have photos of the same paint job as the last book had? Why not paint another giant for the book? And 2 pages of the stupid spider in different colours? Lame.

Especially some of the older models, for instance the ork boys could have done with a new paint job to at least disguise the fact they are older kits.

Oh and if you take a closer look at the larger group shots you will probably notice some units have been copied with the magic of photoshop. For instance there apparently are 3 studio spiders, but you can find pictures where there are 4 shown, with the one in the front and the one in the background looking rather similar.

YPU, they have been photoshopping images like that for years. I'm sure it isn't that uncommon in the industry, or any other industry which uses imagery in this way.

I have to admit, recycled imagery is a bit of a shame but ahh well.

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Yeah, its just a bit lazy the way they do it though. Like, why not mess with the colours of the copied spider? Or for the units of boys, at lease use another actual photograph at a different angle with the models reearanged in order. Its just lazyness.

Can they honestly not afford a couple of grands worth of new images? Pish and balderdash. Bobbins!

Games Workshop - Cheaply made merchandise made expensive.

The Boss knows the guy who -used- to work for Games Workshop down the road, and it seems the company is desparate to make cash at the expense of anybody save themselves. So I wouldn't be surprised if they recycled images etc, afterall it saves time and money and allows them to get out a pretty expensive codex/ruleset that every player has to buy because the last one they made a few months ago has become obselete.
