On the homepage dude picking out a wedgie, wtf?

Edit: Took down the photo to not embarass further

Lol.

Agreed!

Classic as it is it would only be better if his shirt was blue. Actually I could think of tons of ways this could be funnier. Discuss.

Follow up shot of him smelling his hand? I don't know, it will get taken down and if GW does him right they better hook him up with some free loot. Gonna be hard for this guy to show his face around that store again.

Knowing GW HQ types, this is more likely thrown in BECAUSE of the guy unwedgy-ing himself.

I recall a certain 'Lictor Hunt'...... I still have the shirt for it!

I count no less than four females. The one in black just to the left of the monitor could go either way though.

They must have photo shopped them in right?

Well, obviously.

Better still there are 4 GW employees. I definitely say photoshop

I'm more interested in figuring out if the guy 2nd from the left is Mr. Bean. If only he would turn around!!

I do believe the picture has now been cropped to cut the poor guy out.

It's the "flagship" store of China.

The store has not had its "grand opening" yet, but according to the site "it's packed every weekend with eager hobbyists to play and paint".

"Grand Openings" aren't often held on the first day a store opens these days. Quite often, in fact, a "Grand Opening" will happen a week to a month after the place actually opens.

The last time I went to one, it was almost 6 months after the GW store opened its doors. I guess they want to develop a bit of a community before "grand" opening.

Yup!

Notice the lighting array on the ceiling. Does that say Games Workshop. Pretty cool if it does. And I only see 2.5 females, that thing in the grey and black striped shirt could go either way. Blurry face could mean she's a supernatural creature.

Butt picking... reason number 49 for why you don't lend your figs out for use with strangers.

If the photo has been cropped then surely is proof positive that GW scan these forums, is it not? Or is it just coincidence that this thread is posted and then the photo is subsequently cropped?

It might be proof that the IT web guy does but not necessarily that the higher ups who make marketing and design decisions do.

Doubt it. Probably more that a bunch of people on the Facebook pointed it out.

I've seen quite a lot of photoshopping with GW books. An Apoc book has a stompa that has been photo shopped over a little so he is more center-picture...problem is part of his body was left over. I've seen things duplicated to make battles look larger too.

A gamesday photo from 2010, if I can find it ill post it, is a good example. Theres two extra squads of orks...that are the same....

I remember when they did the zombie pirates, the picture of the unit in the magazine had the same figures duplicated several times in the unit. They must have only made and photographed a couple and doubled them up to make a 20 man unit. What's more, they used parts that weren't on the zombie or empire milita sprue at the time. Strewth.

Really? This is threadworthy? I know people are hating on GW and ready to break the next big hatestorm like it was their job, but really? Someone picking their wedgie is a big deal? Unintentional photobombs with silly things happen all the time... It is called the internet.

I think it is. I check the GW website everyday and this popped (not pooped) out at me. I really feel bad for the guy, we all do it but when a company uses it for promotion and it's so obvious it's a joke. And lets not forget the hundreds or thousands of dollars this guy spent at the store for this to happen, it's a slap in the face. They really need to make it right with this guy.

It's not like you can see his face.

All I see are asian chicks painting! Is there anything else in the pic? I can't tell.

Uhh... he's Asian. They all look the same.

Tsk tsk, Cannerus.

This thread really needs the pic.

On another note, GW blue shirts must be much cheaper than black or red shirts. There are tons of them. That is certainly what every GW store needs.
