The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

I got the email just after 10am (uk) time yesterday, and popped on to have a look. The queueing time was over an hour, so I didn't wait

I looked again about teatime and got in with no problems, but the place was cleaned out. I tried to get on to check something later on, but the queue was back, although only 4 minutes. I still didn't wait.

I too wondered about the metal. I'm curious to see what a generation that has grown up on plastic makes of it, especially if it's still the same white metal, as that stuff was brutal to work with.

The prices were less than I had expected, but still a lot of cash for not that much stuff

On the up side ebay is flooded with bretonnians and the prices are cheaper than new GW box sets  ... what a joke.

That’s just too damn funny. The resellers getting screwed? Awesome. 🤣

I looked. I saw. No.

I will however now take a peak at e-bay-brets..

Over 400 dollarydoos for dudes with no skin? Tell 'em they're dreamin'!

I'm a bit gutted that they are only going to be focussing on those 9 armies and the others are "legacy" which they've stated saying they won't be updating them. I've got a bunch of ogres and undead that look to be staying in their boxes for some time. I might pick up the rules when they ccome down in price.
My plans of an all squig army might come to fruition some time too when I get more cash seeing as O&G are a focus.

@Beefcake - An all squig army? I'd like to see that.

[beefcake]

haha. Mostly me dreaming. Unless I splurge and get a resin 3d printer and purchase some things that look similar to squigs.

My 40k Orks army is themed “Squigs Gone Wild” - I’ve put squigs in Killa Kans, bouncing everywhere; giant squigs as often as possible. It’s squigtastic!

[Lost Egg]

Sounds crazy...I love it!

That sounds fun.

Went into Smiths today and came across issue 1 the new 40K Hachette partwork Combat Patrol. For £2.99 you get a terminator captain and wing tyranid prime and 6 d6. Issue 2 has 3 Von Ryan's Leapers for £6.99, and then Issue 3 has 5 marines for the usual cover price of £9.99.

[Daeothar]

 That actually sounds like a sweet deal!

I'm sure we'll see them pop up on Ebay, hugely inflated, shortly...

Nothing in my local Tesco or Asda 

Not sure if that means they've been grabbed, or if they're just not bothering to stock them (although they do stock White Dwarf)

Things are a bit odd with this release. I've not seen any ads on TV, and there is very little info on the Hachette website. It's not listed by Forbidden Planet yet. It was pure chance that I spotted it in Smiths, I'd gone in to see if the latest WSS was out yet!
