Can you pant with awesome sauce?
If so where can you get it, cos I sure as hell could use some

Me too, I'm only able to paint with mediocre sauce...

its really expensive and contains Taurine... and bits of Hasslehofs skin

Damn
Being a veggie can't use it if it contains animal products

What will be sweetest of all is the tears of those foolish gamers who spend a small fortune on the 'new money for old rope' finecast miniatures their dredging up for this expansion and summer event when GW do to this what they've done to every other event and summer army... rend them extinct. The only difference here is that these tired old minis will be made extinct for a second time!

And then your new finecast taurus can gather dust on the shelf with the ancient metal one, both unusable.

Perhaps you can sit them next to the squats and cult of slaanesh army you took 3 months converting...

Pardon my niavetie but I thought SoM would be an ongoing game sort of like like Mordheim or Necronevermind, I see what you mean now MGS

I don't understand why people get so upset. This took like zero effort for GW to release. You don't like it and it's too expensive? Well that's easy, don't buy it. There's a lot of stuff that I don't buy. The Lamassu reminds me of the Mini Cooper. I think it's ugly, and way too expensive for an ugly little car. So I just... didn't buy one. Every day of my life, I don't buy a Mini Cooper. It's worked okay so far.

I've always liked the Taurus. It obviously looks a little old compared to the new sculpts, and I'm excited to see what Forgeworld will do with the concept. Still, I might grab one of these just for kicks. As far as the Lamassu, that thing comes from the days when all of GW's stuff looked really cartoony. I know some guys who loved that era, and don't like the current blood guts viiolence "realism" look. It's not really my cup of tea, but I can at least understand the sentiment.

Hold on pal
Associating a style icon of the 1960's with GW's Lamassu is one of the more outrageous claims ever made on Dakka

Adding the domestic economy platitude in there as well is too much. The analogy is just not working.

Hi hon I'm home
sorry I'm late I couldn't resist popping to the car showroom for a small saloon.

btw Took no effort for GW to release it may actually not be a good selling point




ps Fell in love with the Mini Coopers, as a young lad, watching the news of them zipping around the Alps, winning the Monte Carlo rally

Why is it foolish to buy something you like? I know its an old sculpt, I know it doesn't stand up to newer stuff, but hey I like it it, I dont like Lizardmen stuff, so anyone who buys them is foolish!
And as a Chaos player the Lamassu will never go extinct, Deamon prince, funky warshrine, Chaos Sorceror Lord on Disc, Counts as is my friend

funky warshrine, Chaos Sorceror Lord on Disc

Anyone unable to think of anything other than some groovy hipster 70's DJ with an afro, gold medallion, tank top (gaudy sleeveless jumper not a vest)
big flares and platforms. Shirt has collars with the wing span of a Jumbo jet.

This makes no sense whatsoever! How will the game become 'extinct' exactly? Does the rulebook self-destruct after a while? As far as I can see, I can play SoM forever if I so choose. I have the rules, I have a table, I have people to play.

Unless of course GW completely overhauls the magic system in 9th Edition and makes SoM unsuable. This sort of thing has happened in the past...

...but to be fair, they have got better at not squatting things in the last five to seven years. All of the 40K expansions from Cities of Death onwards are still playable and some very old Codexes are still in use.

No, the only difference is this is not like the old summer campaign books. Note - those were army books with army lists designed for that campaign.

Storm of Magic is basically Apocalypse Fantasy. It's a proper expansion, not a limited time expansion to conincide with an event. And while there is a Storm of Magic event, it's actually there to support sales for the expansion, not the other way around.

Storm of Magic won't go extinct like Lustria, Albion or Storm of Chaos, just like Apocalypse, Cityfight and Planetstrike haven't gone extinct like Codex Armageddon and Codex Eye of Terror.

Planetstrike never got a chance to go extinct. It was stillborn.

Yeah, I was about to say. They're pretty good at keeping things playable (however badly) with whatever edition they've got out. Often its to the detriment of the game (some things need complete overhauls, and legacy issues are holding them back), but they are far better now than before when it comes to the wholesale removal of things from the game.

Pity most of my armies are not part of that.

You can pant with whatever you eat

And just for the record: I like the Lammasu model and bought a complete Bighat Chaos Dwarf army including Lammasu and Taurus two years ago. But I also own the Raging Heroes Lammsshu.

Please keep me in mind if you're ever in the mood to sell that CD army!

I sure would have liked to have gotten some of the Shadow Dice...

However, not checking email over a very busy weekend has made this a little more difficult. GW needs to make their batch sizes a little larger. They sell out of the limited items instantly.

Buy some normal dice and paint them grey? It astounds me how GW can add value to a 8 cubes of plastic purely by releasing them in different colours and in limited numbers

Now, now. Let's not blame make it out as if GW is doing anything different to anyone else. The power of 'Limited Edition' holds sway over many people, regardless of business and in spite of reason. This is something that GW can do right, from time to time.

Right or wrong, it's still astounding

Hey, I've bought Games Day miniatures for no other reason than they were Games Day miniatures. Did I need a screaming Marine with a Thunder Hammer? No! But damn it, he's Ltd. Edition, so I couldn't resist!

Ok, limited edition when a nicely sculpted mini



However, limited edition for multi-coloured dice



Maybe it's the funky pouch...

But there are skulls on those dice! And as players of Warhammer... we know the value of skulls!

This should have been the winning business plan on The Apprentice Final last night. Multi-coloured dice with skulls. Alan Sugar would have snapped it up in no time.

ooo anyone else think that those on a leather strap would make a cool necklace

+ wear the posing pouch and nowt else = CHICK MAGNET!

If only they hadn't sold out already I would have been a hit at the beach this summer

And for it's day, the sculpt was just fine. And until a few weeks ago, it went for a pretty penny in the second hand market. Someone bought my friends one for £50 on ebay. But of course, now it's back in the range, so clearly nobodoy (i.e. yourself) could possibly want it.

It came with the rider though right? I like how you gloss over the fact that GW resurected an ancient sculpt, took away the Chaos Dwarf rider, recast the mounts in FINECAST(tm) and is selling half a kit as new product. The fact of the matter is that: The sculpts didn't age well, and the huge empty spot on the back is indicative of why they look so incomplete. They were intended to have riders.

Ever open the stable doors on a bunch of angry mounts?

I think the idea of unleash the beasts works well enough. Especially when the idea is a Lore of Beasts Slann just flicking a switch in their domesticated brains and letting them loose.

I was considering to buy the special dice for the Lore of Death for my Dark Elves, but "pink dice of doom" just don't do it

Hence the expression, " What you eat is what you art."

Yuck, I have no problems with GW re-releasing half decent sculpts but seriously? I still have tears of laughter after looking at the lammasu. The old fenbeast looks naff also, I am hoping that a better paintjob could redeem it however. It is good to see the two scorcerers back, they still remain decent sculpts in my eyes.
