  Probably see it mentioned in the next financial statement, along with the other regular reasons as to why the revenue is falling. 

People not buying enough individual kits to represent all the load-out options, but instead, modifying GW kits to be more flexible/usable.

They are not GW hobby magnets, therefore you shouldn't do it. otherwise they would sell them to you wouldn't they? Like extra skulls?

Bad people/customers, bad. why else would they provide a special purchase option to get 5 in one click?

  The extra bits are meant to go in your bits box and stay there, not on the end of magnets...

[Tactalvanic]

Sigh.

£42 option for 2 or £420 for twenty.

Nice models but..

I like those. Good for use outside of 40k such as near future robots.

[OSHIROmodels]

But they've spelt it wrong 

'C' not 'K' you tossers

Me too, and it's nice to see the ancient ad mech robots back in the 40K universe. I'd leave the back-mounted gun out, though, although it was a feature of the old generation 40k robots too.
And Jimbibbly is correct about the spelling - unless they're pre-empting their use by orks, of course - which was possiblein the good old days......

But it's kool spelling it that way.

Probably helps separate it from the vampire castellan they have.

Edit: which after checking is no longer there. Other castellans are however.

It's probably easier to trademark if its not in the dictionary.  Those are the first new GW models I've unreservedly liked the look of since the plastic spirit host came out.

[OSHIROmodels]

Not that much 'skullz' and shit to remove either 

cheers

Just to deviate,I noticed the empire free company's been out of stock for awhile now.

[beefcake]

I reckon they are not making any more stock of the current line and will wait until most of it is all sold out then bring in the new edition of WFB.

[Gibby]

Well, it really was the best value plastic kit they did. Can't have that upsetting the rest of the catalogue...

Ah well,will have took elsewhere for some conversion fodder,then

Check out the Perry's War of the Roses boxes - great value and similar/better models.

Shame.

off to the land of pro-painted and OOP, for them then.

Still. It's about the GW hobby not "value" remember.

Expect something else multi-part, different troop types possible, with less individual actual troops, soon, with the bonus of it not involving value.

e.g. "This multi-part kit contains enough multi-parts to make one of 20 different empire troop types. Horse sold seperately, extra skulls not included either"
