So I was looking around on GW's website, and thought about looking up some Chaos Space Marine articles, only to find that GW has apparently taken them all down. Also, they took down the Hive Tyrant from nids. What's up with all this?

Jaysus, you're right.
What on Earth happened to all the articles?
Some of them were pretty dam decent and worth a read.

The business desicisons of Games Workshop....are worrying and stupid. They obviously do not know how to run a company. In my local GW they removed gaming tables, put the rest in a corner so there is no room, and won't let the manager change it. It loses sales despite them trying to raise sales by making a bigger area to show off model boxes.

Assuming you meant "new paint range", I don't see how they can change paint so radically that it completely invalidates all of their previous articles. Their step by step guides were all along the lines of "Paint it all this colour, then paint the edges with a 1:1 mix of this and that, pick out the details in this colour and do a thin wash of Devlan mud over al the metal". Nothing really based on what pot the paint comes in.

They will probably make you pay $11 per article, when they put them up again in the next week or so.

They took ALL the articles down?
Maybe changing something, like the paint range, or maybe a new army?

I'm having a deja-vu moment here. I still remember the old GW website (before they switched to this ... "online catalogue") and the huge amount of articles they had there.

Or, just like for the WHFB FAQs, they took them down and will repost them in a couple days.

Most likely has to do with the upcoming paint changes.

But why?
Are they completely changing the paints? I thought they were just being renamed.

Time spent reading articles is time spent not buying GW models. You're stealing from GW!

Sadly, it seems that many of the WaybackMachine's servers are currently scheduled for maintenance so that only a small number of backups is available right now... Just try again in a day or two, I guess.

speaking of missing chaos stuff, weren't there chaos marines on forge world? I don't see them anymore.

Derp, nevermind. They were with accessories.

There's talk of articles that specifically mentioned paint colors being taken off, and talk of the articles system getting reworked altogether.
