  Is that error in the hardback and limited edition books too? Anyone know?

If it is I think they will be getting a lot of flak and a lot of people returning them... I know I would 

[Dr. Zombie]

I have no idea. This is from the digital edition. Not my pic. by the way. I just thought it very funny in a tragic kind of way.

These sorts of copy-paste errors are pretty common in the digital editions. I seem to remember a few other codices and army books that had this same problem on release.

However, digital editions means that you can update them, so I suppose it's not the end of the world.

The printed books though... Do still have errors, but none as grievous as the example above.

Still, for a company as experienced (I was going to say "professional", but then I remembered who I was talking about)  as GW and for the premium price and image they have, this is dreadfully sloppy...

[Major_Gilbear]

...I don't disagree - especially as this seems to be fairly common for them recently. 

In other GW matters, I saw the recent character releases for DE - the Archon and Succubus. I do quite like these, but when I realised that together with the Heamonculus the three regular-sized infantry models came to £45, I quickly changed my mind about getting them as side-projects!

Heh, these days, if I find myself using the words "Games Workshop" and "side project" in a single sentence, the project goes out the window....

That's mostly the case for me.  However, I do have a couple of side-projects using vintage and used GW figs.  Current GW figs are so expensive that even some of the more rare lines of OOP  figs (like squats) can be had for less than the cost of new figs.    I've got a squat side project that I add to slowly when I come across really good deals and and have been slowly collecting the figs for a 2nd edition Eldar project (not started) to complete the army my brother never finished.

One good thing about the ubiquity of GW is that there's a HUGE used market at various levels of affordability.

Apparently two shops have been re-branded as a test.
It seems GW want very much for the product and the store to be one and the same.(kids often call GW the warhammer shop anyway , so why not make it easier for their parents to find their Christmas present._

[von Lucky]

Interesting... this occurs before a new CEO is in place? Reinforces the decision-making ability they expect that person to have.

I think most weapon enthusiasts will be disappointed upon entering.

Makes a lot of sense to me - it might stop the endless stream of confused parents trying to buy console games...

[YPU]

Yea that actually sounds like a logical decision for once.
