That is EXACTLY what I meant.
There was NO hidden meaning in it at all.
Still, we're drifting off topic. Again.
If there are any lingering issues, please take it up with me or another Mod via PM.

I will be buying from FW soon, I need some decals for my Valkyrie and Tanks. And the terrain they have is great. I love the IG Dugout, Supply Dumps, and Trench System.
My only fear with the resin stuff is it being broken during shipping.
I really hope that the EU doesn't go under. If the Bailout of Greece doesn't help, I fear that will be the case.

Resin usually isn't that fragile. Besides, they do wrap it in bubblewrap.

Plus if something is broken, contact FW and they will generally replace it.

+1 to above - give them a call and its usually on its way to you ASAP, just remember to be polite - amazing how many people hurl abuse and then expect the people at the other end to do more than the bare minuimum.
Case in point: 9 months after ordering a Revenant titan (husband being slow at putting models together...) we realised there were 2 right arms, no left. Rang them up, explained the situation, adn next day it was delivered by Special Delivery...

I placed an order yesterday! Great time to pick up IA8 and the second powder set.
And then pad the order to £250 with some fun toys.

I've been considering a FW renegade guard army and doing it as all mech vet units & stormtroopers .. got some really good ideas for paint jobs and all ... but since I already have 1 guard army so far I haven't been able to convince myself I need another one. If the exchange rate keeps going down I may just take the plunge...

Yea, but for some it's the "contact FW" that's the tricky part. Plenty of threads on that in the Discussions forum.

So, its been a few days and I have seen the ratio fluctuate between 1.449 and 1.430 (should have hit BUY then..)
So do you posters from across the pond see it going down any more or should I just buy the next time I see it in 1.43?

Not only is it affecting FW, but all of GWs prices.
Space Wolf Pack= $35
Space Wolf Pack in the UK = $28
Maelstrom game = $26
I think it is time to ring up maelstrom games and put in an order

While there's already been rumblings from the OT gods, I do have to say, the European financial markets, and indeed the world markets in general, have the potential to enter a serious GRIMDARK type situation.
It's fun to think of getting cheap FW stuff, but honestly, I'd spend the money on some canned goods and bottled water.
At this rate we're going to be playing with real zombies before long.

That's OK about the zombies. I can read my lovely new IA8 book while barricaded in my basement.
Love the free regular shipping on my 152 GBP order, since it got here in only a couple of days. Who needs expedited shipping?

So is there now a flat rate of 6 pounds UK to the U.S.? Because whether I order 10 or 210, that's the shipping it's giving me. I thought they charged 15% of the order. That's what they used to do and what the site still says...
Edit: Never mind. The estimated shipping is 6, but they charge 15% when you pay.

I sold my 3 GW Exorcists at ten bucks lower than GW's prices on their website, and bought 3 FW ones to replace them.
I made a profit from that.

And reduced the total weight of your army by 13 lbs. I'm not sure how many kilograms that is, I haven't checked the exchange rate on that lately.
In other news, my Exorcists are averaging about a 1.3 on their D6 roll for shots over the last four times I've played them. Maybe I need to threaten to replace them with resin...

Pound is still around the 1.43 mark. From my research, the pound will eventually increase from this point on, so if your going to buy anything do it in the near future.
