The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

I worked briefly in one of their stores and the attitude was very much that you should feel blessed to work there...oh and I was expected to work an hour or two extra unpaid every day, plus a break of only 20mins...err no thanks.

That's not uncommon in a lot of industries, "oh your on a salary 37 hours a week, you dont get extra pay, but we need you to work 48 ok? Thanks!"

Yes, this is more of an exploitative retail practices issue than a GW specific one.

Yeah I had this in WH smiths, hamleys, Hauser and wirth and every other front of house retail-ish position I've ever worked. And none of them gave me 2 grand afterwards.

The Forgeworld resin Elysian Tauros Venator is reborn today as the plastic Palanite Enforcer Tauros Venator

I still have the resin one mostly unbuilt in the cupboard since 2011 This is largely due to the fact that it was a paint some bits before building, as well as the quality of the resin (the roll cage was all over the place)

Still, the new new one is £35, the same as the cost of the resin one... Getting the resin one was a bit of a saga, documented back when I still maintained my blog

I like the idea of that, but where the hell does the engine sit?

Hyper efficient single cylinder micro generator that powers a series of hub motors - It's all made up anyway.

Of course powered by handwavium

Flintstones style.

tbh I always had the same question with the real-world vehicles that these take inspiration from.

Looking in a model shop other day at 1/35-1/48 scale kits £35 for that isn’t that bad a price .
I can see it being used by ash waste nomads .

I bought two of the 4x4 and one of the 6x4 Forgeworld resin ones back in the day, secondhand, but unbuilt.

They looked to be a lot of work to get to look right and in the end I abandoned the idea and sold them off. I got me a bunch of Mantic Mules instead and they were great! Also; they came in plastic, which I vastly prefer over any type of resin.

This looks like another solid build though. I might still add one as an escort/firesupport vehicle to the convoy...

[Elbows]

The resin ones were notoriously "Forgeworld".  Have several buddies who tried them and...they ended up in various shapes.

[Daeothar]

Yeah; too much work as far as I was concerned.

But they were OOP when I put them up for sale and they were gone in an instant

GW and Amazon studios sign agreement https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/18/warhammer-amazon-contracts-signed-the-news-every-warhammer-fan-has-been-waiting-for/

All we can tell you right now is that an elite band of screenwriters, each with their own particular passion for Warhammer, is being assembled to help bring the setting and characters you love to the screen. This illustrious group will be championed by Henry Cavill, who stands ready to take his place as executive producer – bringing his pen, sword and/or spear to the project.

TV and Film production is a mammoth undertaking. It’s not unusual for projects to take two to three years from this point before something arrives on screen. Still, things are now properly rolling, and you can bet we’ll bring you all the latest updates and cool snippets as soon as we’re able.
