I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think Hobgoblin likes oversized weapons.

You think so?
It's high fantasy, with magic weapons that are probably weightless, but them being big just increases the odds of hitting something
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Well, I think it's a good thing of GW to re-release some old Bloodbowl classic teams. Hope they will continue to do so with other classics, since online prices on auction sites sometimes are skyrocketing. Still have a giant wish list  :).

The other problem with all the teams currently available from GW is that they only stretch to 12-13 players. I have a feeling that GW will be happy that some people will buy two of a team just to get the options, although who wants 4 Orc throwers?! There will be a huge surplus of BB throwers on the market.

Go big or go home.  :D

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I can't understand the pricing of those Bull Centaurs but the chaos team is very tempting at £32 for 12 players.

I much prefer them with the different paint schemes.

There's a nice rusty version in this month's White Dwarf that has me tempted.

Rulebook is getting a printing too:

And that's a stab in the heart for all the bastards who are selling their rulebooks on Ebay at stupid prices - the new rulebook is going to updated with all the factions available on their site plus 2 new ones. Serves them right.

They really do listen now, don't they?  Will pick this one up - GW has needed a proper introductory starter game for the main 40k armies for about 20 years.  Buy the book and a box of troops, off you go!

I have absolutely no idea why they didn't do this in the first place, mind, but it's a good move.

Well, seeing as how that book was the main thing I wanted from the box....

I will probably pick it up...

I just bought the scenery from a colleague who only wanted the box for the book.
Now i can have the scenery and the book and i'll still have saved money!  lol

Good for you.
I'm not interested in the scenery. It's nice, but You'd need sooooo much of it.

I have plenty of orks, and basicaly only need a boc of scouts to get some options.

Basicly, just the book (especially a better book with more factions.) is perfect for me.

I think my harlequins might hit the painting table soon, and I'll probably bite the bullet and buy a ridiculously prices solitaire...

Late to the party as usual, but I just saw the post about the shadow war armageddon rulebook.  Once I saw that it was going to have stats for the inquisition I was sold.

Looks like I'm going to buy my new first GW product in 6 years.   
I wonder what it will cost?
