Just recieved a phonecall from GW asking me to remove any GOM from my shelves. They are currently investigating the problem so i'm none the wiser as to why.
Have you had problems with the kit? Can anyone shed any light on this?
I've got 4 left and will be holding on to them for my personal use as long as they are not highly toxic/carcinogenic etc etc
I'll keep you posted as I know more.

Guess it's the same as with the Killa can kit. Has spikes that may be harmfull to small chiuldren. Add a "for children 14+" sign and everything is okay.

Background: One institute has found this kit unsafe, GW now waits for a second examination by anothe rinstitute.

And I was going to pop into you soon to pick one up too!

They are unsafe! Killas have brought more blood than my exacto knife!

I just came back from my FLGS and he got the call while I was there. It's basically the same thing as with the cans - the kits are not recalled, he was told to hold onto them, but be ready to put a warning label (as already found on the Killakans) on them.
On a sidenote he also promised to put one aside for me, should he be forced to return them to GW

Maybe if children didnt push their eyes onto the spikes it wouldn't hurt them

Do the city terrain kits get the same warning? Some of the spikes in that kit are deadly.

It gets recalled yet the Cities of Death kits haven't been? Man the spikes on them are lethal!!!

"We've discovered that the the kit doesn't have enough skulls in it. We'll be sending out the emergency upgrade sprue within the week."

Its all about the spike to skull ratio... too many spikes per square inch and not enough skulls instead... made it unsafe.

For feth's sake, I was going to be buying one of these this week.

I can understand you Kan. I was pretty close to buy one, just to be on the safe side... but then he promised to hold onto one copy, should anything more serious than a warning should happen

I'm sure a FLGS will use some common sense with enough grovelling. You're not 14 and your buying it for yourself.

Suddenly a wild baby crawls into the box upon leaving the store.

They're probably going to resculpt it and put nice round skulls on top of all the spikes to make it child friendly. :p

Or maybe they'll recut the sprues and sell it for 40k, claiming it's a brand new terrain piece.

Yeah, they probably would. They tend to follow GW's word for the most part, so I can just put this terrain piece on my "watch" list to see when it comes back.

If it was a spike issue they'll have to recall the whole DE line

I like my stuff spiky. It stops Random Gamestore Kid fondling it so much. Bleeding on it i can live with

I'm surprised they don't have this on WHFB kits, entire regiments of upright spears can be lethal.

I got one last week, happy to sell it to you for what it cost me. So when i add standard GW shipping rates that means you owe me £450. Paypal or credit cards acceptable.

My defilers alone have attempted to take my life *limbs at the least!* more numerous times than I can count. Some of the blood on them isn't paint...

I think the lesson here is less spiky bits and more skulls

If you've never been bled by a Cities of Death building, you're not a true Warham.

I was frightened for my eyes whilst trying to measure lines of sight amongst Cities of Death buildings during my last Necromunda campaign.

For the really old..(and anyone who hits up retro gw on ebay).

You aren't a REAL gamer (joke) until you have bled from the lead..

My wife bought one of these sets which we haven't opened yet. So basically this thread is telling me that the plastic will try to kill me when I slice open the shrink wrap with my craft knife??

Kind of like opening the booby trapped treasure chest as a thief in role playing games...

Recalled.

Not enough skulls.

So they're going to add Morr skulls?

(I punned)

Get out... Go on... the doors that way...

*facepalms*

Yes, its probably a recall due to parts of the kit being too sharp and they need to slap a warning label on it.

Come ito the garden Morr
For the black bat Night has flown
Come into the Garden Morr
For my head has been spiked alone

apologies to Tennyson


If you bought a Garden of Morr
Take it back at once to the store.
Will be GW's treat
To make it complete
With moar Morr skullz by the score.

Black Reach had those gobbos with their spears. Yikes, that was an unpleasant dig through the bits box.
