Tongue firmly in cheek, but I have to imagine that GW doesn't smile fondly at it.

At a guess as Battlefront is mostly comprised of ex- GW staff in prominent positions within the company.

Did they manage to get a glimpse of anything else? Any other markings, such as FineSub™?

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Why would it? They've been clear and up front with what happened (customs / shipping issues) and provided a new target date of 2 weeks later.

Capt Darling (prosecution.)
'Are you private S Baldrick.'
Baldrick' No.'
Capt Darling (prosecution.)
'Are you Captain Black Adders batman?'
Baldrick 'No'.
Capt Darling (prosecution.)
'Can you recall what happened last Thursday?'
Baldrick.
'No!A messenger pigeon,did NOT arrive in the trench and Captain Black Adder did NOT ask me to cook it for his tea!'

Apparently this one is still metal. They were worried that fineboats would sink due to the holes and the misaligned torpedo tubes would have meant they'd missed the target...
