Que?

The DCMs and Mods are having fun pretending to be employees of the GW company.

I'm in charge of the GW forums.

Aww sounds fun, i want to be DCM too :<

Is this event some sort of reverse psychology tactic?
Sort of like how african americans dont like the N word, so they start using it all over their Rap and daily speech, to dull the effect and impact of the word?

i wont be buying anything other than paints for the next 12 months.

lets put this into perspective, if i could have bought all this from a local store for prices similar to what i could overseas, all profits would have gone locally...

for the 471.93 pounds spent on the first round, which worked out around AU$730, if i had to pay the local australian price i wouldnt have been able to afford the second round.

I was so mad i had to order something, and with another 18% off already cheaper prices it was go time!!

I ordered:
1x Grey Knight terminators
2x IG infantry boxes
2x Chimeras
1x IG codex
1x Lizardman Codex
1x Stegadon
1x Lizardman battalion
1x Saurus warriors
1x Skink regiment (just cos i can)
1x Saurus Cavalry
1x Eldar Guardians
2x Eldar Falcons
3x Eldar Wave Serpents
1x Eldar support Weapon (also cos i can)
Templates, bases, paints

About $600 total, cannot describe the savings!! $600 at GW would get me the lizardmen boxes and the 4 of the tanks, thats it lol.
I really have no idead what they're playing at, UK its cheap as chips compared to here, US its slightly better since our dollar seems to be holding ok, although how much longer it holds with labour spending bukcets loads who knows, thats a different story though kiddos

I swear its to make it a rich mans game and don't get me started on finecast prices
