Good to see a few mutations in there as well.

Yes, they are nice but complete brain storm here as i am at work its friday and someone made me go to a meeting with sales people - not a nice thing to do to a techy engineer...

Thinking in line with their (GW) possible re-branding e.g. shops being Warhammer rather than GW, neither really rolls of the tongue, but, ok.

If we take the leap that they are 'up-marketing' their 'product', making it more desirable, designer - bespoke and above all a perceived fashion necessity, iconic even.

So much so that their longterm approach of revamps and rules re-rights, version releases etc, becomes justified - go with me here - like the projected 'need' to upgrade your i-phone every 6 months basically to get the latest fastest slimmest curviest one.

I am thinking they are a bit well, buggered. Apple would be on their case pretty quick if they decided to start doing i-nurgle this or i-spacemarine that..

and lets face it you really need a vowel to get that kind of product into peoples minds... w-nurgle or w-marine just don't trip off the tongue like I-pad, I-phone or Iraq.

As someone already mentioned - maybe soon there will be W.H. Shops..... with one manager, and individual products, with designer packaging, maybe even start a new packaging collector craze, people more interested in keeping the boxes than the content...with their prices you certainly would be reluctant to throw the boxes away now.

So if we go vowely about it..

    A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y - so excluding the I, which would be better?

Thinking Y.
Y-nurgles, Y-Marines, Y-Guards, Y-Fronts, Y-buy ?

Thoughts? or change the subject and sanity level back to something else?

Well, "Y?" is something I often think when seeing GW's latest releases and/or antics...

Thoughts on the new Nurgle riders? Think they look daft myself.

The joints on the beasts in particular remind me of action figures. Very disappointing if this is the best GW can manage.

Nice, Has a bit of that old school over-the-top look.
Don't have need or budget for it though.

Not a fan of the hat. Not bad though.

Is the fly-cavalry thing new? They look the part, if nothing else does!

It was the swanky hat that drew me to him 

[beefcake]

Made me think smurfs 

[The Voivod]

Wait what? It's metal?
No fail crap? I thought they were gonna replace that with the plastic clampacks.

Hmm ,smurf necro gang called the white hats,close combat weapon is the soul destroying song they sing/hum,
Consider the idea stolen 

[Tactalvanic]

Made me think of a horrible breeding experiment/encounter - between the grinch and the cat in the hat..

Mind you it is aimed at kids so maybe..

paint it in red/white stripes?
