The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

Where 

I think that he is talking about those 'moving pictures' on the interwebs......


As for that wolfy-chariot-thing: I honest thought someone was having a laugh with that one.
Ridiculous!

Where 

I'm not sure if the new Sun website has it, but the old one deffo did. Exactly the same tech and type of views as GW.

That's what I meant Paul, not the meanderings from your filthy mind

But there's no squadron option for the chariot - what use is just one? It's almost like GW are not even trying to make money any more.

Fluff addendum:

A recently uncovered document reveals that Logan was actually one of identical quintuplets, separated at birth. Now they've been reunited and all five can fight alongside each other in battle. As a special time-limited deal, all five can be bought for just five times the price of one. Hurry while stocks last

Don't forget that the datafax required for this special formation can be yours for just $5.99 from the iTunes store.

Actually buying more minatures in their "one click" buy are more expensive then to buy them seperatly...  

Friends of mine that are into 40k told me soo...

So it would probobly be like pay for six get five...

[Modhail]

I think it's due to the 5 to 15 quid "convenience surcharge" for only having to click once, instead of 3 times.... 

[Cubs]

Then I have found my calling. I shall be a 'GW Personal Shopper' and hire myself out to potential GW customers who find that extra clicking too arduous. For a mere 25% fee, I will place the order for them using multiple clicks, thus saving them a small fortune!

To put an end to it, please do not discuss Mr. Williams' untimely death in here - there's an obituary thread on Open Talk which is more suited to it.

[Wirelizard]

...wolves...wolves...wolves...wolves...wolves...wolves...wolf...wolves.

nic-e's summary is perfect. You know how sometimes when you repeat a word to often, it just becomes a sound and you don't know what it means anymore?

That, and I think that's where GW is with their design process these days.

Isn't it time for the Two Minutes of Hate? The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in.

See, I wanted to discuss Lauren Bacall's 'Nurgle Daemon' army here, but now I'm too nervous to.

Aaaaand, we're back in the room. I actually really wanted to collect a Beastman army at one point and even got so far as buying the Army Book and a few models, but then I lost momentum with it. I liked the Minotaurs and goaty Beastmen, but it didn't really add up to a full army for me, more like a good ally choice. Which was tricky because ... you have to buy the whole damn army book just to get some allies.

GW Hates Australians: Part 3

Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.

Not surprised. Another nail in the coffin. Tom Kirby sounds too arrogant, stubborn, and/or stuck in the past to be an effective CEO. Is he just surrounded by "yes" men?

The reasons behind the move match up with Games Workshop’s justification in other territories: in their view, online-only stores (“Distance Selling Channels”) don’t contribute anything to “the community”, and therefore don’t help Games Workshop’s bottom line like physical stores (“Shop Front Channels”) do.

Well there is a community here and if they had sensible business practice a lot more would likely still be in love with them.
