I found the reviews by Jake Thornton (you know, the global editor of WD in '95-'97 and heavily involved in all things WH) interesting. He brings up some very valid points and facts such as repeated content.

I'm still confused at to who the market is for Visions. The weekly WD makes sense (at least sense in terms of what I think they want to do with it) but the appeal of Visions is beyond me.

Thoughts

For me, Warhammer Visions is useless.

sums it up. It's like the Archie and Jughead of Warhammer magazines, without the insightful commentary that Archie and the gang come up with.

Have you heard about the Great 6th Ed Tyranid Conspiracy? The latest Tyranid codex was released in January. Apparently genestealers and lictors have been downgraded and aren't much use anymore. (YMMV) But guess what's got new rules in the digital Tyranid 'dataslate' released a week or two later?

Nope, but it doesn't surprise me

Dataslates have been happening for a while now and aren't really tyranid specific. I think its being read as more of a conspiracy than it is. Charging extra £££ for things which could easily have been added to the £30 army books isn't on though!

[joroas]

Well, the only main stream army I had held on to was my Dwarfs (TM) but the appearance of a new Army Book means that it will be destined for eBay on Thursday.  They'll get no more money from me......

You know I thought I was done harping on GW's design choices. Then that new dwarf bomber comes along. I'm sorry, does that belong on in fantasy or did it miss the boat on the summer of fliers for 40K? Didn't these things use to look like WW1 aircraft?

[OSHIROmodels]

I actually don't mind that 

Not for GW dwarves obvisouly but more of a kin to Spelljammer and things of that ilk.

I won't get one though

I'm sorry, but they are smoking premium crack in Nottingham...  $45.00 for a gyrocopter and $50 for 10 plastic dwarves?!!??!  Do they want people running away from their products!!?! 

I agree, the copter is bullocks.

Saw a photo on another forum where someone had bought 6 boxes on release day......Its only insane if people actually buy it!

Ah, the '1-click' rip off...er em 'deal' they advertise.  It's all just too 'high fantasy' for me....

With all the neffs going around here I'm surprised we haven't seen a spelljammer counterpart yet.

I think if you got a good start, with one of those dumpy bottomed gyrothings, you could totally jump a shark.

Wow.
