The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Westfalia Chris]

Guys, this is the kind of discussion that should go on the GW discussion thread. If you have actual hobby-related topics based in this magazine, feel free to open new topics on that, but I have folded this one into the main thread where the magazine is already under discussion.

My advice: run to buy the first issue if you like what comes with it; have a look at the second issue, just in case. Then forget the following ones and buy a couple of pints instead.

Amen to that.
IF I wanted any of the part-work subjects
I would be really worried about:-
a) the enormous cost, say £800 for a...Milenium Falcon.
b) getting to issue 499 & the publisher stops sending.

That said I am in possession of the Part-work on HMS Victory!
'How come?' I hear you ask. My wife's friend's father
 collected every issue, intending to open them all only
when he had the lot. By then he would be retired & have
the time to make a 1/100th Napoleonic 104 gun first rate
ship of the Line, only he then passed away. As I am a War Gamer
it ended up with me, so if anyone wants to buy & collect  it
from my garage I will pass the proceeds onto the Wife's friend.

This part-work isn't like the model kit ones though - you're not building a baneblade over 80 issues - so even if publication stops, you're still going to have the miniatures as opposed to having an incomplete kit.

IMO, if you like Ultramarines & Necrons then it's worth collecting the magazine. I bought issue one because you get two miniatures for £3, I can have fun converting one but not lose too much sleep if it goes wrong, and I can enjoy painting the other even if it has no practical purpose for me.

I am tempted by issue 2 as it's £6 and you get three necrons. Could be a useful little sci-fi warband. Plus you get a paint.

Sounds like a cheap Kill-Team

Went to my local Smiths, took the one of the many
copies of the mag to the check-out.
'£9.99' he said. 'No' I replied, 'First issue under £3'
Smugly he went on, 'That's not the first issue, don't
have any of them,  it is  the introduction to Wargaming.'
I declined to spend a tenner for the 2 figures on the front.

Nearly got caught on that one too.  A bit sneaky!

'£9.99' he said. 'No' I replied, 'First issue under £3'
Smugly he went on, 'That's not the first issue, don't
have any of them,  it is  the introduction to Wargaming.'

  The retail price doesn't appear on it?

[TWD]

Yes it does.
And it has a different title to the new partworks.
I admit I picked up the expensive one first. But checked and then easily located the cheaper partworks and bought that instead. 'Sneaky' I think is overstating things - they're clearly (to me at least) different products. Don't think there's any attempt to con anyone.

[Onebigriver]

Nearly fell for that myself in Smiths. The new partwork is called Imperium. The other magazine is a one off called Getting Started with Warhammer 40,000 or similar and is a tenner. Issue one of Imperium is definitely £2.99, then regular price will be £8.99 (but £5.99 for issue 2).

Typically GW have released the beast snaggas separately again , s as hame I soar my dummy out after missing out on the box set and decided to collect the 2 nd edition snake bite orks instead an hit eBay 😂

Did anyone else get spammed by GW last night?

In addition to the normal newletter I also got the German version Another copy of the German version made it to an email address that ForgeWorld has, but not the main GW site, so even odder.

Strange things happening in the Warp...

[3Fingers2]

Yep.

[beefcake]

, yep I got the German version too.

[Vladimir Raukov]

I didn't get the german version, now I feel a little left out!

Been waiting for GW to do this (without hope, really) ever since the Confrontation hive gangers back in the early 90s. I've never liked the way the Necromunda gangs are all so uniform - surely some Goliaths wear shirts? Not all Eschers wear crop tops? Etc etc.
Anyway - we're getting non-uniform hive gangers! With both male and female options!
