From the DE video thread...

Possibly, let's hope so.

In ( kinda) this vein GW have started a new, and this time even official, GW page on Facebook ; http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Games-Workshop/172179092796929

Its a brave new world indeed. Only taken GW some ~25 years to embrace this new fangled fad, the internet. It'll never catch on....

The future belongs to the analog loyalists.

Sometimes I get the impression from GW that if they could market via carrier pigeon, then they would..

Chaos skullpigeon perhaps.

..actually IIRC the Empire army book has exploding pigeon bombs...

I liked them, here's hoping that they will use it to the same effect as Black Library, who I personally believe are using it to great effect alongside Twatter.

Hang on they realy don't know there fan base how are we supposed to hide the fact we like collecting little toy soldiers from our workmates and possible mates if its emblazoned there on our profile pages right next to the fact were fans of Justin beiber and my favourite films are Priscilla queen of the desert and. The land before time 2 ? ? No bad facebook don't show my secret shame !

Never friend a coworker on facebook, dude.

Cardinal sin.

I could go to Facebook to see their silly page, but id rather read more Dakka.

MOAR!!

Welcome to the 21st Century, GW.

Until someone posts a little criticism on their FB page and they abandon it like their forums.

Very excellent...

While I'm not going to join the group (I need to hide my shame from my friends) I do think it's good that GeeDub have finally got online. Maybe we can talk to them in the future. Maybe they'll actually listen to our advice, or am I just being too optimistic?

Also, is anyone here called 'Sam Watson'. Whoever said this, "As compensation for your lateness, I demand the new Necron codex NAO!! >" is too cool.

I agree

Just criticise them about the minotaurs or something, and then every one agree with them. See what GW say. Should be interesting.

Hehe the Minotaurs does seem like a good idea. Or maybe pester them about future releases (oh god that may be bad actually)

or cristicism them on the fact that them About C.S goto.

Isnt he gone from BL though? He hasnt done anything in years or something

That's interesting that they've finally made a jump on to the internet, though i suppose a lot of companies have a facebook page now so it was likely that they'd do it. I can see it to be a way for people to abuse them, like someone had done, about the necron codex

D&D has a Facebook page and someone must be on that full-time. As soon as a somewhat negative comment is posted, it is deleted with the explanation that it was not "on topic".

Already commented on the variety needed for 40k, not so much tons more power armor.

English!

It'll get deleted, like Grognard said. However I have a feeling all "MORE POWER ARMOR, go to hell xenos!" comments will be left alone.

I did "Like" them (for some stupid reason), but I don't plan on ever actually posting anything on their page. They won't read it and if they do they'll either ignore you or delete your comment.

Ok let me fix that!
or criticism them on the fact that they had the wrong guy to write such a horrendous book and tell them it is C.S Goto.

Or we could criticize John Blanche's "art".

Facebook.

How... quaint...

Well I guess it's a step up.

lol, I doubt may criticisms will stay undeleted.

They just want all your details and to be able to look at pictures of you and your family
