Oh!! One more thing.

Someone asked if we were likely to get Forgeworld doing BloodBowl teams and other Specialist Games support...

the response was "we can either do a series of Primarch models and rulebooks to support them, OR a series of BloodBowl teams, but we don't have time to do both. Shall we vote?"

*Votes for the one that's not more Space Marines*

Glad I'm not the only one. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the Heresy stuff, and it is going to make them a ton of money, and hopefully finance some cool new tings aside from marines. But when I hear FW contemplating Specialist games, I would spend so much more than I would ever consider spending of Heresy stuff. I would buy every Necromunda gang and Bloodbowl release they put out. In fact, I would probably get so involved in that, I wouldn't bother with actual GW releases at all.

Would anyone happen to know if the "Warriors of the Imperium" art book is a compilation of old art work, or is it all new stuff? And is it all marines, or will it detail guard, thunder warriors and custodes instead/as well?

Dont understand why people are moaning about the price of angron at £50 he's still cheaper than a tactical sqd! and you only need one of him. ..i think my pre heresy army is going to be 1000pt just made up of the 4 primarchs due lol

Well, perhaps, once they've released all 9 Primarchs for each side, they'll bring out a Heresy Bowl board.

Cheaper than a tactical squad made up of Forgeworld models you mean?

I dunno, that Angron kind of transcends a tabletop piece when I get to thinking about how much it costs. 50UK, not that much for him really. It's a really nice piece that a person could spend a lot of time on to doll up.

Would like to see Lion and Russ now.

Oh and it makes me very sad not having seen any cool eldar stuff in test phase or painted.

Vulkan may make me eat my words on the price. We shall see.

Wait, oswestry, as in the one in shropshire on the welsh border?

Yessum, the very same.

Huh, i lived there before uni!

I enjoyed GDUK this year but it did suffer from the fact that there was feck all new other than the HH stuff. I didn't see anything special for WHFB other than a few Warhammer Forge items. There was a bit of the new Chaos but that was pretty much Phil Kelly. I think GW missed a trick by holding off on pre release Chaos stuff. They hollered about new WD and the new 40K chaos stuff but when it wasn't there it was disappointing.

There were two gaping voids for me. One was the Hobbit, ok we all know about the NDAs but they had loads of sculptors there with nothing to show. The other huge no show was 6th edition 40k. There was nothing saying this is new and sexy and we are devoted to it. As I said Phil Kelly was on his lonesome chatting away all day but that was it. In contrast the FW area was rammed. Lots of product, lots of new releases, lots of happy customers. They had people having to yell at entrants not to run when heading to the FW sales area. Nobody was running to the GW area. they did fix the FW queue though and that was great. For all the bitching about the price of Angron he was to my knowledge the only thing that sold out. They tried really hard to sell the Blood Angel GD mini but most folks didn't seem interested. Ive heard of some folks saying FW didn't have what they wanted but I thought everyone knew that if you really wanted something then it was best to order in advance, next time if you really want the impulse FW stuff got to Warhammer World.

Sadly Black Library seemed to be forgotten in a corner of the sales area. It wasn't very clearly signed and the author queues didn't seem that huge to me. I was also annoyed that they kept the Garro new release in the Black Library area which meant they could only sell them to people with cards. That was annoying because if I'd known I'd have bought the Khan audio instead.

There was a good show from Fantasy Flight, although I think they should have had a few more demos of Relic. There was also three interesting computer games; Warhammer Quest and Talisman were the main draws but the Blood Bowl area was also pretty busy.

So yes GDUK was worth it for me but it was a huge opportunity missed by GW.

That CD was intended to be in the usual retail area but the bar code wouldn't read on the tills/it wasn't on the system so that was the only way they could do it AFAIK.

Now I have to fight ebay for Angron. Arrrrgh.

If you're referring to the model, I've said it several times now...

Forge World has stated that The Primarchs are not limited editions and will be available for general sale soon.
They had 1500 at Games Day UK because that's how many they brought.

Sorry, haven't caught all your posts. BUT I did catch this one!

Thank you!

And still the Angron model sells for way over 50 £ on ebay ... not everybody got the message obviously

I hope there will be no idiots bitching, when FW releases Angron, that FW broke their word that it is a limited edition model.
But who are we kidding. Gets some popcorn, just in case

I wonder if you could dropship sell him on eBay.

Angron for sale 100 £ -. Will ship once FW releases him

Most of you know that Karol Rudyk, the winner of the Slayer Sword UK 2012, sold his sword on ebay for 600$.

Many of you do not know why yet. In short, Karol - a passionate sword collector - thought the sword was a cheap Chinese piece of "§$%. He asked me to write up an article on his feelings. I think its a good read (although now you kinda now the jist of the story. Spoiler Alert! )

Interesting, you should post that on the Topic on this very issue in the Dakka Discussions section.

Ah, sorry, I did not find the topic when I did a search. Will try again and repost there. Thanks for the hint!
