Paper all the way for me there is something really boring about looking at text on screens that after a few minutes I cant stand it anymore ( maybe that is because I look at them all day at work.) Also digital content seems to have zero value down the road while an old mag in 10 years time has that old groovy oldschool vibe going on.

Other major thing IMO is that if I'm going to check digital content some clicks on the free www will get me results... for free... So at least with paper I dont mind paying for a physical version of what we see on the web.

@Navarro: where on the GW site can i find the Blanchitsu articles, or the Golden Demon reports...
GW seems to have stopped hosting GD winners on their site, and they are only in the mag now...
i could be wrong, but i feel like i'm getting exclusive content in the mag, and it's nice to get it the day of release instead of sending friends to a shop, and then waiting for them to come visit a few months down the line...




Not only you can see most GD's reports a bit everywhere online but each community of painters has its own forums, some have their own blogs not only showing pics but tuts how they have completed their entries... hell some do even have detailed wips etc... Its a non argument... Just because its not on GW site it does not mean its not online, heck I have not read a good painting or sculpting tut from GW in almost a decade? Yet everyday online I learn something.

I see your point about power failure and internet issues, I have not considered that, you know when you are spoiled like me with good connections you tend o take things for granted. Yeah in that case stored digital content is even more important.
