I just wanted to know how much you guys use their website. This applies to everything on their site, from "what's new today" to looking at painting articles,whatever.

Just because you play a game doesn't mean you prowl around on their website! I play Dungeons and Dragons, but I've only used Wizards of the Coast's site maybe Three times in the last 5 years. That's probably a good enough example.

**Borkin**

Every 2 or 3 days ill go check out the whats new articles, or to do a quickprice check.

**Melissia**

I occasionally look at it for images of models or to look at FAQs for armies I don't have (and therefor FAQs I don't normally print out).

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

I just use it to fanasize about starting a new army.

Once in a while.

**Samus_aran115**

I'm surprised. Maybe I'm just a GW-fanboi, But I use the site at least 20 times per day. I'll check prices for random models all day sometimes.

**Lexx**

I live in a remote area so I have to use it unless I go over an hour away to my nearest for any supplies. I agree its great also for putting together possible future armies.

**Shaman**

Over 9000 translation whenever someone links it on dakka.

Don't think much of the site to be honest.

Что такое характер субатомной частицы Хиггса-бозон? Простые, мой дорогой Ватсон, оно чаще всего находится в веществе отказоустойчивости соусом.

**Mr. Burning**

I look at through the week. I check out the articles on there and see what other people have been painting.

I'll order stuff from them sometimes so my useage varies.

**Howard A Treesong**

Once in a while, I check prices occasionally, probably go on once a fortnight on average. When Black Gobbo was going I'd read this and that every day or two.

**1hadhq**

I'll visit .de sometimes and .com if linked on the net.

Mostly news and downloads.

**Ailaros**

As a computer scientist and a standards-compliant web designer, I have almost never seen a website that's worse than GW's.

I use it as absolutely little as I can get away with, and if I'm not linked to something, I go to google and add "site:www.games-workshop.com" so I can spend as little time interacting with it as is possible.

Gotta agree, the side its pretty bad, and if you see the Portuguese page it really sucks. Its still back in BFM boxed set (or was last time I checked)

**Ugavine**

I use it every couple of days. Mainly when it's dead at work, I've nothing else to do, and because Games Workshop is one of the few gaming websites not blocked by my works web filter.

I don't think it's a bad site to be honest. I mainly use it to drool over my next purchases.

**oadie**

I'll use it for pricing (although I've only made one small order directly from GW) or to check the contents of a box, find a pic or two of a unit, etc. I've read through a number of the articles/tutorials and I'm not particularly opposed to using the site, I just don't have much cause to visit it too frequently. I range anywhere from a few times a week to maybe once a month. Depends on my current need and whether or not the GW site is the quickest/best way to fulfill that need.

**WildeThing**

Inquisitor Syphonious I do that! Sometimes i get all excited and i use it to write up an army list i can make with their sets. Last time it was Vostroyans which would cost me like 350 quid for a sweet 1500 point army. So thats out of the question for now as i am working on my 1st three armies and want to do Orks after that. Its addictive but sometimes it stops you getting over excited and rushing out and buying a vostroyan command squad that will see no use for over a year!

**Shovan**

I keep going there hoping to one day see "Tyranid FAQ Released."

**wuestenfux**

Every couple of days.
Recently, I was interested in the new BA releases and the status quo of the ToS tournament,
since it will now be played with qualification (from local hobby stores), pretty strange.

**Gamble**

I only use it to see what's new, confirm prices and review the FAQs.

**Lord of battles**

Every day i check whats new and look at cool models and complain about the price...

**Chowderhead**

I have to say, I use the GW website for articles, and never for the store. Except looking at the $82.00 Orc in WHFB. It looks awesome.

**chromedog**

Only to check the local prices on things I would like - then I order them from one of the holy trinity of OS dealers - or when something useful pops up (care of notifications on various forums).

**MRMUMMBLES**

Like most of you I'll check it every couple of days for the sake of it. But am i the only one that thought it was loads better before they remade the site? Where have all those army specific short storys gone? i used to love those! Plus i guess that back then the store was actually affordable.

**Riffzor**

I live on it, does it count?

**Haddi**

I looks at the articles, and being a cheapo poor person who lurves an expensive hobby, drool at the pretty painted pictures.
Of course I only do this a few days.

I don't have a problem.
I can quit any time I want.
