'Boycotting' makes it sound overly dramatic, but as with regular GW since their regional trading rules were introduced, I'm unlikely to make any more purchases from them.

Its pretty good tank for a gun platform, starting out at 60pts in what a Rhino chassis should be and what it "Might be."

It's probably the best chassis for a Multilaser. 110 points is 15 S6 shots. Even at BS4+ that's nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah, the word “boycotting” seems a bit much for most of the people I’ve talked to. For me, “boycott” implies some sort of moral or ethical outrage, whereas the players in my area who stopped buying did so because of purely monetary reasons for the most part. The Carnodon is an interesting model with strong rules, but even before the price himes it would probably be out of my price range unless I found one secondhand.

I stopped buy from them when Aeronautica Imperialis got axed. Does that make it a boycott or just that they do not have what I want?

Not "boycott", more like my wallet is in mortal terror of how badly it would empty if I bought anything from them.
Seeing some 30k games in my area and when I add up around $3000++ for an army of resin on the table I know this is a path I better not go.

That's a pretty cool looking tank. My wallet really hopes I don't pull the IG out of storage next....

Can't boycott when you never bought from them, but with the price increase it pretty much cemented the fact that I'm never going to buy from Forge World. Granted the fact that they use resin, and crappy resin at that, already cemented that mentality. If I put down over $100 for a toy soldier, it better be the best damn toy soldier ever made and be utterly flawless in its casting. Not possessing a warped chassis that makes it impossible to assemble without coaxing under hot water (I've heard a lot of horror stories).

Outside of a friend picking up my last big purchase while he was on his Honeymoon in England since he could get it at the normal prices im still going strong.

You made your friend take a trip to FW on his honeymoon?

Going to Warhammer world was already planned as part of his honeymoon, he offered to pick up anything for anyone that plays at our FLGS whether it be models, t-shirts ect.

Sounds spicy.

I have no problem with Forgeworld. If I was still as invested in HH armies it would be an issue, however.

To me, they are a source of the occasional unique unit to make an army more unique or fill a gap in a force. I still think they produce some stunning looking kits, models and upgrades.

My biggest problem with them right now is the fact they haven't capitalised on the popular 8th edition. Where are the Custodes and Mechanicum rules for 8th edition? Where are the upgrades for Primaris kits beyond just Repulsor doors? Etc, etc

They are becoming less relevant as a result of not adjusting course quickly enough.

Not really boycotting. Only getting the infantry/upgrade kits thus far. As the 30k players in my area are more into the fan made Centurion game mode, I don't think I'll be getting vehicles anytime soon.

The Custodes Imperial Armour book is the next one due out (and there are beta rules already out), but the Admech one got dropped because the models aren't selling. What kind of upgrades are you after?

Well, the Mechanicum range isn't selling because it's not supported with 8th edition rules. It's expensive, niche and exists within a rule system in a popularity decline. HH took a real beating when it kept the 7th edition ruleset.

If the models were supported in 8th and were competitive then the sales would greatly increase. There are some beautiful kits that aren't seeing the love or appreciation they deserve.

I know Custodes are going to get a book, but I have a feeling it will he delayed. I hope I'm wrong. Imo It should have been out months ago when Custodes were new and popular.

As for what I'd like to see from Forgeworld - it's more support for the Primaris. New weapon or customisation options for infantry, new turret options for the Repulsor, new arm options for the Redemptor, etc

A common complaint from collectors is the lack of customisation in the Primaris, visual or otherwise. FW really missed an opportunity to capitalise on this and enhance the Primaris line - something they've done for the traditional Astartes for many years.

I would totally buy into (more)admech if I could add a cybernetica cohort but no rules so....... the 40k admech dont really inspire me like the Domitar & Ursarax do.

I fosho want more upgrade stuff for Primaris, my redepmtor wants a lascannon arm and a Salamanders chest plate.
