Hmm, merchandise.....I got a free Sigmar button in my last order, gave it back to the manager as I'm only in it for games GW killed off. He said I was the fifth to do so that week  lol

GW Eindhoven? I find the guy who runs the place tends to be Ok, for a GW manager.

umm ok

But this:

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Pestilens-Plague-Censer-Bearers

£20 ???

a tenner each? granted I am not that impressed with most of them sculpt-wise but ?

Its two random miniatures, not even a multi-part kit

"This set contains 5 Plague Censer Bearers, with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases."

On Saturday the webpage said 2 censer bearers ...it's now been corrected.

Can't remember how much a pack was before the Age of Sigmar struck, but doesn't seem tooooooo different...  ???

Is this thread starting to go round in circles...  ;D

That would be great, if it is, we might get warhammer fantasy battle back in print sometime next week if it is.

For me there is only one Age of Sigmar, and that is 2000+ years ago when Sigmar united the primitive human tribes against the Orcs and the Dwarves granted him Ghal Maraz... This new-fangled Sigmarine stuff manages to push none of my buttons.

I just hope they won't pull the same stunt with 40k...
Then again I've still got all of my rulebooks, and plenty of others rule sets that work just as well (at the least).

Why is the NEW White Dwarf nothing like the White Dwarf I remember?

The WD I remember is even older than the one you remember !!

I remember when there were articles and scenarios for all sorts of games - and very little GW stuff in it. The more GW in it the less I liked it.

And the models, don't forget the models. They make me happy every time I look at them  :).
Good Wargames Foundry slowly re-releases some old Citadel human favorites because I feel everybody should be able to enjoy them and at reasonable prices too ( no, I don't work for the Ansell gang ).

I would imagine that limited edition re-releases of some of the older figure ranges/models as 'collectors items' would prove popular... or of course provide a tax write-off.

If they had any sense they'd release Warhammer Classic as a third "system" and cash in on this Oldhammer stuff.

Yep! It'd work well here, given how many people are disappointed by the Age of Sigmar stuff. Those who do like the new stuff can carry on with it, etc.

Ahh but you forget, in GW hobby years, AOS is now "old".

WFB as it was is so ancient, dead burned and buried as to be unheard of in the "now", and AOS is not the "new".

We should be expecting the next edition of the AOS rules soon to provide the new ;D
