Today, I saw this demo of a new GSW product. Haven't tried it yest, but it looks really interesting:

You know, the old metal dwarves (Hammerer as well as the Gyrocopter from my current viewpoint) also had feathers on their helmets sometimes, but I agree that's more the Celtic way.

On the topic of Bugmansson and heroes, could we tally how many alternate sculpts we have? Endrinmaster: 2, Endrinmaster, Endrinmaster painting the Ironclad (Loondrinmaster, has different warscroll). Navigator: 3/4 Navigator, Nav on Ironclad, Nav on Frigate, maybe the guy in the Ironclad with the flare pistol if you have that artifact? Khemist: 2 Khemist, Thundrik (might have different warscroll, but basically just the same Admiral: 1.5 Admiral, Jakkob doesn't really fit here either Another note, it stated Jakkob could be "a characterful addition to a larger Kharadron Overlords force", but does anyone have a clue on how they intend that?

Khemist already is served by Thundrik, so Admiral. I hope he gets his own warscroll though.

I've seen the new painting handle in use, and retract my initial (well, secondary) impressions. It seems to be quite useful. Not that I'm going to use it, but I think it's better than the old one.

I can't find conformation of that, where, where did you find this?

I have been dropping that since its release.

I made me a demon from Tsaangor stuff. Not clean at all, but I thought it may give an idea to someone else.

Many rules regarding running away screaming. Mostly that, actually.

That's a bit elf heavy (almost half). Let's add Broken Realms: Brokk Broken Realms: Valaya Broken Realms: Johann

Hi! Can we assume you're good with templates and rattlecans? What models are you painting at the moment?

It really depends. Selling at a loss is a bad idea, but if you still have a margin after discounting a bit, you're more likely to attract custumers then when you try to get the most margin out of a product.

I am not a fan of much of GW's business strategy, but prioritising their own webshop and brick and mortar stores over third party sellers is not a bad idea. They are more expensive, but then, they do have the best stock. Nothing wrong with that.

I got an AoS warscroll with my Thundrik's Profiteers, and I think the Loondrinmaster got that as well (came out after the book), no reason why that couldn't be done with other new model releases.

They've got a style he can't get at home.

You are right. I was briefly thinking in before times. It isn't a good idea to go to the stores. Plus, when I buy it from an online retailer, the discount of the dwarf is about the price of a witch elf.

A wytch elf might just get me into a store. A nice alternate Escher model, sorceress or similar. And, well, I'll have to get the Bugmansson somewhere.

I get what you mean, but I still think it's a bit of a stretch. I do not like GW's business strategy towards their customers. I do like some of their business strategies on a global and internal field. I don't think something that isn't on the box, but part of what makes that box valuable should be enshrined in laws. I do think the back cover text for the Necromunda book should state it's useless on its own, and that sets should stop being sold longer before the removal of their warscrolls.

I think that had more to do with the age of the sculpts than with the age of the book. A year isn't very good for a book's rules. I know people that purchased stuff specifically for mercs, and only had them completed months before the new GHB (and in one case, not at all). There is a significant amount of time and money involved in getting from a rulebook to the table.

Since the first rules are drugs, and it's Morathi related, why not a sort of AoS house Escher?

I'm not sure if you are sarcastic or not. I could see it being business strategy, transparency or fairness. Not politics. Things like a banner on high elves that they would be removed from play would have been transparent, it would have been fair, but it didn't align with business strategy. We've seen the Warshrine go from available to "no longer available" in the US webshop, then it was set to "temporarily unavailable" before the news came that it indeed was discontinued. That is deliberate misrepresentation. And no, GW's models, especially the heroes, are not worth their sticker price just for the model. They get sold because GW has locations to play and a whole game attached to it. Remove that, and about half the value of the total package of the sale is gone. Like, say Windows. If you buy Windows '95 now, it still works, boots up and everything. CD looks fine. It just gets no security support and few programs work on it, so you can't do anything with it. If Microsoft were to sell a Windows version until a month before support ended, their office would burn.

Oh, I do agree Anvilgard should have more options. A few more tricks with monsters or drakespawn would be nice.

Anvilgard does have the trick of removing units from game without regard of the size or save of that unit with their spell and a trio of steamcopters.

Now that would be quite interesting! Then switch out SC for Fyreslayers in Tempest's Eye next!

See,I think GW is not badly priced for the quality... for infantry models. A box of Arkanauts or Greatswords gives you so many extra bits to customize and use on converstion. That's wildly different for infantry heroes. Not only are they 6 times the price of an Arkanaut, they don't have any customisation. Well, the head then, in this one. I don't even see the need for plastic for these models, because if I don't have options, what's the point? They are good sculpts, but apart from this one that fits my beer themed Skywarden, Gunhauler and Gyrocopter, I don't see me getting another one.
