So, in your opinion, what is GW most useless, money wasting, time wasting, piece of ever?

I think it was their "How To Roll Citadel Dice" book.


Really? A book that tells you how do do something you have been doing since Monopoly as a kid?

If Citadel fails to QC the resin cast, why bother continuin' this range?

Citadel used to do better resin cast before, look at LotR 'Invisible Frodo' limited edition miniature. remember?

that's why Thai grognards call'em 'Failcast'

Moving thread to Dakka Discussions.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Really? This deserved to be in Dakka Discussions? I mean, I'm all for taking the piss out of GW, but this is a bit much.

We might as well put the pony-freak thread in there as well.

I'll hazard a guess and say it is because this thread is a discussion.

I wouldn't. I would say it is people just having a laugh at all the dumb GW does.


Fine, if the Dice Book doesn't count, then I would say the GK Brotherhood Champion model. Absolutely hideous.

That's because it's a 3rd edition Justicar they just relabeled. FWIW I like it better than the new ones.

I guess I'll say something relevant.

I actually can't really think of much that I've bought, or seen GW that was really a huge waste.

The biggest waste of money by GW?

That would be them buying the old British Gas building in Lenton to have their HQ.
