Choice descriptive sections designed to tempt:

Are you excited by working on your own, engaging with all your customers, understanding what’s important to them, and responding appropriately?

You will be responsible for and expected to make all the decisions to drive sales in your store all of the time.

and this

For those of you that meet this challenge, you will be financially rewarded with a proportion of your sales growth on top of an already competitive salary.

Tempting!

Almost like mini store based CEOs....

Oh and love this

No letter, no interview.


It may also help to include an up-to-date CV.

Fantastic! - CVs are optional!

Extra boobies, probably optional to. After all you are in charge and alone...You might want to have something else to play with other than toy soldiers....

I really like the no letter no interview line.

Here I was thinking that GW just randomly called up people asking them to run a store or the company. But you actually have to send a letter first.

That is a big load off my mind! I have been dreading when I might be called up and press ganged to run a GW store.

You mean I can start answering my phone again?

Getting calls about my PPI and surveys is bad enough - but being called by GW..

Heh. have a picture now of Games Workshop press-gangs lurking outside pubs and clubs late at night, Mugging unsuspecting drunks on their way home after a night on the town.

Find themselves waking up the next morning, in a foreign land, chained to a desk, surrounded by skull fetish addicted 12 to 14 year olds and toy soldiers.....

I hear that's how Jervis Johnson got a job there...

Soo, new dark eldar codex? Are they compensating for the long dry spell those guys had or something?

[Major_Gilbear]

There was lots of stuff in the 5E codex that never got proper midels, or that got rushed into failcast. Making those chouces in plastic would be my priority, and it looks so far that GW agrees.
I'm just waiting now for the next wave of fantastically over - priced dual sets that add nothing the army needs.

[Major_Gilbear]

They're not re-doing them Scurv, they're filling in with plastics the stuff from the second release (i.e. 5th edition that didn't make it into plastic. Like the Wracks and the bomber.

I'm just thinking that the prices for these new kits are insane though (even by GW standards) and that they have recently been making dual kits with half a unit in them at a premium cost (which so far haven't appeared for DE).

[Dr. Zombie]

To give credit where credit is due. I just bought a box of GW skeletons. And that is really an awesome kit. You can build the skeletons with only the mandatory one skull and without all the batwings.

[Modhail]

I agree, I have to say their skeleton kit is (one of) their best offering(s) of recent years. I miss arms for making archers though.

[Pijlie]

If and when they find their new Great Leader, here's an executive chair in house style:

[Dolmot]

I think GW still qualifies, despite not being Mexican.

[beefcake]

You need that on a rotating platform so whenever your nemesis enters the room you can flip the switch, turning around, and face them. Tiger sitting beside the chair optional.

A slight copy/paste error in the new Dark Eldar codex.

Oh, my...   I would feel screwed over twice if seeing this after having paid up for for a book like that. Not that it ruins the use of the book, but because it shows that they don't even bother proof-reading.
