Arbites would be awesome. They go for silly money on eBay.

I feel like ebay has lost a ton of value/interest for me as a buyer since their 'global shipping program' was implemented. Sure there is the odd seller that offers regular postal options, but I hardly ever go on ebay anymore... for that reason mostly.

Oh that program is the worst and sellers who use it are the dumbest.

yeah, well "go" probably wasn't the best word to use. Maybe I should have said "are up for sale but very rarely sell..."

Latest battlemat (Khorne Dominion) available for pre-order link £50 for the basic mat, a lot more if you want a couple of bits of scenery with it.

Burning of Prospero is available for £90, with a variety of addons, such as a painting guide or White Dwarf. They charge extra to chuck in a copy of WD

All pre orders here

Comapny charges extra for more products? Madness.

Wow... That battlemat is... $#!7

And again GW is so hooked on their own IP they create silly battlemats which are completely useless for other games (and quite terrible to look at if I'm honest). They missed the boat incredibly with these mats, but I imagine plenty of fans will still buy them.

Not only useless for other gamers (which I can understand, they want to promote their brand) but useless if you aren't fielding a Khorne army. So I can only imagine Khorne people buying this. Why not make a generic Chaotic battlemat with lava streams and the like. Something I would still never buy but it would appeal to a wider variety of GW gamers I imagine.
Just glad I backed Axe and Brimstone for one much much cheaper.
Half that mat looks unsuable as it is covered in Lava. Do you have to have special rules (purchased at extra cost) that allow your units to have special Boots that let them walk on Lava? Or is it really just decoration to put your minis on. I'm not sure they really understand what a gaming mat is meant to be used for.

They missed out a trick on their marketing blurb.

'You can even flip it over and use the plain reverse side for a proper game'

Elbows · « **Reply #5394 on:** October 30, 2016, 12:25:30 PM »

Ah, clever. When the lava cools and becomes hardened and black...you flip it over?

rebelyell2006 · « **Reply #5395 on:** October 30, 2016, 08:40:57 PM »

Or you can use the rubber reverse side to open stubborn jars and bottles.

Mason · « **Reply #5396 on:** October 30, 2016, 08:57:28 PM »

We had better be careful.
If they get wind of all these inbuilt 'extra features' the price will go up....

Elbows · « **Reply #5397 on:** October 30, 2016, 09:31:32 PM »

I don't think we need to worry. If they have a product that is selling, it'll become limited edition real quick.

Insanity for sure. Much like designing a battle mat for AoS players rather than appealing to people who don't play AoS and have little interest in GW products full stop.

I can see the responses now. "GW made a mat that is perfect for my needs! DAMN THEM< i refuse to buy it!"
