http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW now has [url=http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat1490570&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k]everything[/url] that's coming for Planetstrike up for pre-order.

And for my fellow Australian brethren, here is why you should skip [url=http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=sea&cat=pre]GW[/url] and instead order from [url=http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=sea&cat=pre]Maelstrom[/url]:

Imperial Strongpoint from GWOZ:
AUD$150

Imperial Strongpoint from [url=http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=sea&cat=pre]Maelstrom[/url]:

Blastscape from [url=http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=sea&cat=pre]Maelstrom[/url]:

At least it does have a bundle price on it at $90 US, saving about $29 US over buying what is in it separately. Also, the Blastscape and Mines, Bombs, Booby Traps limited release sets may be Direct Only in the US so you'll also likely order those directly from GW, especially if you want to be assured of getting those limited quantity items.

Whilst I whole heartedly agree with your sentiment of supporting your local store, they do need to deserve it. Maelstrom and The Warstore both have frankly incredible reputations, to the degree I don't recall ever hearing a bad word against them. Whereas the only FLGS' that opened up near to me were pretty pants. One was out in the middle of nowhere, offering no real discount. Thus it was more expensive for me to buy there than my local GW, which was in the same town I lived and worked in. The other was just rubbish. You'd go in looking for a purchase, spend half an hour looking for the right blister in his mess of shelving system, then spend another half hour at the till waiting to be served whilst he played Magic The Gathering with his cronies up the back of the shop. Neither are now around.

However, GW wise, I do now belong to the rather spiffy Hydra Gaming Club in Tunbridge Wells (Wednesdays, Robin Hood Pub, Tunbridge Wells. Space for loads of tables, and far from limited to GW games. Come see us for a free trial period!) which means I can shop pretty much wherever. I'll still get most of my gubbins from the local GW (rather have it and not really use it, than not have it if that makes sense) but the pricier stuff will be procured from a reputable online seller. There's a website I've heard about. Something like a bad weather storm. Whirlwind? Hurricaine? Ringing any bells with anyone?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/787614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/787614.page GMT

The Warstore has been a long, longtime advertiser on Dakka, whereas Maelstrom never has (to my knowledge). So between the two I'd definitely recommend the Warstore. Both because they've never let me down as a customer and because they help support Dakka as well.

Ha, I know what that's like...except instead of playing at the back of the shop, it was right there at the counter not five feet from the register, while I sat there with a model and cash in my hand, in plain sight, just waiting for someone to ring me up.

Eventually I ran off and came back with $20 worth of green stuff, since I figured maybe a $4 used model wasn't worth stepping away from the game for. It's also kind of irritating going in there and seeing the same damn blisters and box sets each and every single time, but I guess I know that blister with the female Catachan that looks like Vasquez from Aliens will always be there whenever I decide to get it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/788821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/788821.page GMT If the choice is not of price but which store to support, I would support Neal at the Warstore due to the support and frankly fantastic service that is offered.

Two things:

1. [b]Insane Hyperbole[/b]: £2? That's all? And you're trying to claim that as indicative of all online discounters? I save 33% on all my orders thanks to Maelstrom. That's right, take whatever GW's price is, and knock a 1/3rd off of it every time. That's how much I save. Every-fucking-time. Why in the hell would I buy from a GW? To support them? They don't need my support.

2. [b]Giving Back to the Community[/b]: To start with, who says they have to? Where is it in their mandate that a store has to meet some sort of weird ethical need to help the community? Secondly, does Maelstrom? Well, [url=http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=new&ref=147]yes they do[/url].

from maelstrom games and GWUK $800 including currency conversion fees

buying locally from my gw store $1248

So it works out to be over 400 dollars cheaper to buy it overseas I think that pretty much speaks for itself]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/792556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/792556.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/792629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/792629.page GMT
Two websites, Mealstrom and thewarstore, both of which have been getting incredible feedback, both of which have pretty much the same prices. Both ship to where I live.

I'd like as much money as possible to go to GW, the more a success planet strike is, the more likely we'll see more plastic buildings/ thunderhawks etc...

Other companies arn't making 40k minis for me so why should I boost their profits.

*facepalm*

Ok so I take it you never buy anything from a grocery store, you go direct to the manufacturer. Because the grocery store doesn't make your favorite cheese, Big Farmers Inc does. How do you think these "leech" stores get GW products? Do you think they steal them from some warehouse, then sell them at a discounted rate to undercut GW? Do you not know how a business with a product to sell works?!

I hope you never buy your TVs from an electronic store, those damn stores are taking all the money away from the manufactures....

For example, GW's Maryland Battle Bunker & HQ will be hosting The Battle Of Cold Steel Ridge. This will be a massive mega-game pitting players against a Tyranid Hive army of more than 25,000 points! This game will combine Planetstrike with Apocalypse over ten large game tables for one of the largest Battle Bunker game events ever held by GW in the US.

Similarly Planetstrike-themed events will take place in stores all over North America that day. Please contact your local game store for information about specific events in your area.

Same as "Mighty empires" for WHFB, but 40k.

No. Put away the hate and step away from the keyboard.

Mighty empires was / is a set of detailed hexagonal tiles that you can put together to make a modular campaign map. It also included little plug in flags / cities / mountains etc. to mark out ownership and special features of the board. It's really cool, and came with a set of suggested campaign rules. All they are doing is creating a new set of tiles for the 40k universe, so i expect it will have add-ons for things like forges, manufactorums, ancient sites etc. Should be cool.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/804542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/804542.page GMT they have a RRP for a reason...

Macropole field? Eh?[/quote]

Listed as pre order in WD. Maybe a splash release?

The question should be why is planetary empires ( august) a follow up to planetstrike (july) and thus the release schedule of 40k codices or whfb armys is stretched to only 2 per year?
Remember: Lizardmen, imperial guard, space wolves, skaven. Could be all we get 2009.


@ Grunt_For_Christ:

Believe fitzeh, these hexfield games arent so bad.

Mighty empires is a game based on hexagonal tiles with cities and campaigns and rights of ownership. The 40k one will be based on hexagonal tiles with cities and campaigns and rights of ownership. I see a lot of similarity (if indeed that's the way the new one comes out). Might it be in space instead of being on a single planet or something like that? -steps away from the keyboard with hands up muttering 'don't shoot' quietly-]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/806091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244318/806091.page GMT
