They used to do those as well. There was a UK company that made various pewter crap who u.. - Alchemy

Looks like the GW licence is long gone, though. You might be able to search some of it down on eBay..

IIRC, there was also Bull Dog Buckle(I think that was the name) that made dogtags, belt buckles, and other things in the late 90's/early 2000's before GW absorbed them. I still have their Dark Angels Dog tags.

I bought an Ork t-shirt, an old style Gorkamorka one, from Warhammer World last weekend. They also do a range of Bugmans shirts as well as other miscellaneous GW merchandise. I think most is only available at Warhammer world though.

Need some Nurgle panties and bra's in there.

A Slanesh ball gag would do wonders, too.

More than half of the T-shirts sold would already be stained and moth-eaten when remove from the packaging. GW would then start to sell a darning kit and fabric...

I'm glad I wasn't drinking milk when I read these 2 posts.

I would go for any of it!

Surprisingly, I have been semi-forced (as my friend was my ride at the time) to stop in to a BDSM bazaar. I was quite flabbergasted at the range of colors/styles they are produced in.

Games Workshop Finefetish - The best quality BDSM products in the universe.

I still have a dozen or so Storm of Chaos t-shirts. They made way too many and were practically giving them away. They were approved for staff wear, so I'd go in and grab a new one every time I worked. Great workout t-shirts.

We might actually see a thread where people are happy about being screwed by GW.

I have a Baneblade T-shirt, with 3 Baneblades on it and the motto 'Threes Company'. I got it a few years ago - went into GW York, and they had this box of random stuff on a table - picked up a couple of mugs as well.

I agree they should look into doing this type of stuff again, especially around GD time, or Christmas, something like that.

I have a limited edition Black Library T-shirt still in the shrink I keep thinking about selling. It is a green shirt with a few bolter icons running across the front. It is very subtle and understated. I might have to throw that in the swap shop and see if there is any interest on it.

I've owned a few over the years. Used to be able too buy instore...
Skaven, Beastmen and Eldar have all graced my manly figure at one time or another!

These are for sale at the moment on Play.com

£7.99 each (reduced price) so pretty reasonable really...


Plenty of sellers on places like Zazzle, Cafe Press and Streetshirt have their own versions of 40K and WFB t-shirts - wonder how long before GW send a C&D over to them...

Added an Ultramarine design.

Yes, these are a must.
Edit: Actually....anything but Nurgle...people might start getting the wrong idea.

Some peoples underwear is already way to inspired by Nurgle...

No, just no.

I'd definitely buy an Aquila belt buckle.

Tshirts and hoodies would be a little too much like parading my shame for all to see.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say there's no chance at all that I'd wear GW apparel,
I'm not a full-bore clothes horse, but I do put a fair bit of thought into clothes and style, and nothing about tabletop gaming has ever struck me as remotely translatable to fashion.

Mewiththeface wrote:I'd buy a shirt or a hoodie as long it was remotely fashionable.

GW will never be fashionable outside the FLGS, Game club or convention.

That said, I do have a grudging respect for my friend who bought a batch of swords-and-sorcery'ish t-shirts on sale at Gen-Con and sometimes (not always) manages to wear them ironically.

I received a large shirt from a convention when I am clearly a 2 to 3XL which I found rather insulting.

I also got a flag once. Don't know what happened to it.

I have an old tshirt that I got from Games Day back in the 90's that has a Nurgle Chaos Symbol on the front of it..

The straps fail constantly and everything is full of holes.

Gaming clothing items can work - when it's simply a logo or cool-looking design, usually without any text, and pretty much only when it isn't obviously a game shirt. - So only other nerds would actually know what it is, so the rest of the world just sees some logo on a t-shirt. I've actually seen the 40k Aquila on a shirt that my boss was wearing once - he clearly had no idea what it was, and it wasn't a licenced GW shirt. Some guys, probably in China where they respect IP and copyright laws had simply incorporated GW's 40k Aquila into their shirt design. So stuff like the Aquila, Chaos star, various chapter symbols (Iron Warriors chapter symbol- a stylised skull

etc would work fine, as long as they don't have a giant GAMES WORKSHOP on them.

Check this T-Shirt out - It's an "Affliction" brand shirt (popular with MMA people) but it could just as easily say "For the Alliance" and be a WoW t-shirt.



The Warrior Wear logo may as well be 40k's Iron Warriors...



...and so it goes.

Is there anything that shouts "screaming nerd" louder than a GW tee-shirt?

I'll give you a maybe. Hypothetically it would be possible to incorporate Wargaming motifs or symbols into fashion, I just haven't seen it done in a truely fashionable way yet. Let's take a look at the suggestions you offer.

Check this T-Shirt out - It's an "Affliction" brand shirt (popular with MMA people) but it could just as easily say "For the Alliance" and be a WoW t-shirt.

It's the overdone euro-medieval-gothic logo thing, but the text is limited to one word that need not be tied to sci-fi/fantasy gaming and it's well excecuted. The background is a bit busy, but it's well balanced against the central artwork. Not high fashion, but acceptable.

Nope. "For the Alliance" takes it out of the fashion category and drops it right into gamer-wear. Also, there's much to much going on and the way overdone neo-gothic-stencil (a style that should have died years ago) background and more cartoon'esque foreground designs don't complement each other at all..
This is a shirt worthy of "Hot-topic " (A USA store catering to teenage goth kids and music fans) and fine for those wishing to show their gamer pride, but defnitely not a fashion item.

The Warrior Wear logo may as well be 40k's Iron Warriors...

...and so it goes.

Definitley not fashion. This is a heavy metal'esque design that would look great in the mosh pit or on the paintball field, but that's about it.

Sum up,
I realize it's hard to make fashion judgements without coming out sounding like a donkey cave since you end up commenting on someone's appearance. If folks like these and want to wear them, then more power to them, I don't mean to bash them or what their particular sub-culture finds fashionalbe. However, the above will provide some context to my earlier statments regarding my personal fashion point of view.

Note also, that many of the marginaly fashionable designs (such as the first shirt) would get a real boost when not worn "baggy" or oversized. Lastly, my gaming club is planning on making shirts for our club. I will likely wear it to conventionss and the occasional gaming day, but I am under no illusions about the fact that it will not be at all fashionable.

Quite. I want to hide my secret shame from the general public, nor proclaim it loud for all to see!

I sometimes wear my 07 gamesday shirt with the red ork skull in the front and ghaz's speech on the back, I usually wear a hoodie to cover the words on the back to keep people from trying to read orky english which has happened more than once.

I've recently started doing some leatherworking with it being deer season and all, and that I can get the leather practically free. Wonder what I could make to sport the look. An IG backpack perhaps.

Last year my best friend got me an IG dog tag for Christmas. It's my pride and joy and wear it a lot but they've not made them for many years (he must've got it from ebay or something).

I've always been surprised they don't sell army specific tees in store.
