So, I was on the Escapist earlier today, when I stumbled across this thread:

Now, I can understand if GW don't want you playing with Privateer Press-branded dice or tape measure, for example, but to demand that nothing but GW-brand gear be used, not even allowing for generic dice that couldn't be indentified? Banning conversions because "official kit", completely flying in the face of the very idea of "your dudes"?

Somebody please tell me that this is just a ridiculous anomaly, or has anyone else actually experienced this as well?

Unless there is some second verification- The post is crap. Late to the party and full of old well worn GW Tropes that don't work, anymore....

GW stores don't work like this anymore. In fact, aside from the "One man Band" routine, I've been to two in .... er... KY, and in VA, and they have been exceptional. People are great, the store, even if small as a box, were very well laid out and they had a whole whopping TWO! tables to do anything with. WOOT WOOT! TWO TABLES!!!

Add Salt to taste....
