10 000 Japanese yen = 111.4 U.S. dollars
I hope you don't spend that on a single fig.

In last months white dwarf you could buy the limited edition fig as long as you had a subscription or starting one.
This may have been an attempt to move the older models. Only time will tell if you can get one without a new subscription.

Look at it this way. If the model sells bucketloads, they might bring squars back!

(Not sure if thats good or bad)

We are in the same boat it seems...

Whoa! A dwarf? In space? I bet if GW made an army of them it would sell like hotcakes!

It sold so great the first time it was discontinued.

When you give the entire army lasgun pea shooters and flak armour when every other army is actually built to be competitive, (i.e. an armour save) it is small wonder that they didn't sell well. That was back at the dawn of primary colours. 2nd REDition. New fluff could bring them back.

Funny model,
If it came with a single WD that would be ok,
but subscribe, that's a bit too far for me

I think it's a really fun model but I've got one niggle...........that helmet, how does the dwarf seal it with all of that beard? Once he crams in all that hair he won't be able to breathe anymore, let alone see!

Nice model, but not really something I'd do anything with. I subscribe so look out for mine on ebay.

I think it looks cool but not gritty enough for 40k.

which White dwarf is that? Nothing about it in SH edition or the SW one.

Anyway, I'm gonna get one as soon as I can.

Personaly i dont like this model one bit.

Hahahaha... That fig is effing hilarious. Good to see that someone at GW can still get a decent sense of humor out through the corporate filtering.

But yeah, WD is mostly trash these days. IT's a shame- the market is totally theirs to lose. Even running fan-subbed articles would make it better, even if they're totally against Chapter Approved-style rules additions. Decent strategy articles, batreps that aren't totally fixed... not hard things to do. They underestimate the intelligence of their customers so badly that it's insulting.

Oh well. At least the painting articles are decent, and are something that's better in print (especially color rendering) than it could be in a fan mag on the intorwebs.

But seriously, WD needs help, like an editor with a pair of cohones and a nose for halfway-decent content.

It is true that if you already have an active White Dwarf magazine subscription you can purchase the WD subscriber's only limited model without a renewal. I checked with US Customer Service today and they verified this fact.

How much is it?

The current one is $15.

You silly silly, nerds..... The goblin is dressed up as a little grey martian... the white dwarf is dressed up in an old scuba suit.... thus the orange jump suit.... and the giant helmet on the floor.... thus, he's the undead seaman..... both are characters from old scary stories

Are you repeating yourself in an attempt to wow us with your answer?

Thats exactly what it is.

This isn't a new squat model, wishful thinking though. Pfft

How do you think the Squats died out in the first place ?? Sure, the spin says the Tyranid becasue that sounds better than "Beard Trauma"


Why doesn't GW put more effort into the "magazine" rather than offering some incentive ("consolation") miniature that doesn't even appeal to all the GW fans out there ??

White dwarf shouldn't even be called a magazine, it's a monthly product promo you have to pay for. Maybe the squat is an allegory to this.
