How about I pay were choose? My local store is small. There stock is very hit or miss so if its not on the shelf I don't even bother asking for it since it seems like its a big hassle to them whenever I ask but it is the only local store in town. I'm also told that their trade account is to small to order direct which means I can drive to the next town over to order/buy what I want or go online. I don't use Neal's store for the discount. That's just a perk as far as I'm concerned. I use him for the customer service he provides and I feel loyal to his store because of his excellent customer service. Novel idea I know! And GW can't stop me from using his store even though I live in California. Ill simply call my orders in over the phone.
Here's another novel idea. How about we purchase from our preferred retailers and people stop trying to be purchase police.

You missed the point what azreal13 was making??
More and more people are in Fact "buying alot of other stuff". If you want to play Table-top wargames you need someone to play with right? The fact that alot of the gaming clubs, Including the one I belong to have stoped playing Games Workshops games, will make an impact in the long run. We activly try our best to steer people away from games workshop.
Many other clubs in my local area are doing the same.. we keep in contact you see "because despite GWs best efforts to break the gaming Communitys They have Failed" more and more people are leaving the GW side of the hobby. So instead of you selling GW products you will start selling other things insdead.. If you want to be a part of the solution instead of the problem, start promoting other games more through your Retail store. Stop kissing up to GW, because your customers have in the past years slowly started to move away from them... and in the past year it has started trickling into a flood.....
We the communites and customers of these games are abandoning the GWTATANIC.. if you want to stay on board and sink with the ship be my guest.. but I sugest you come along with the rest of us in the lifeboats.. Privateer Press has a really wellmade one that has Great balance and will hold up in stormy seas..
Since your new to dakka I'm going to ignore the utter stupidity and insults that you just said. If you had read what I wrote I do get what he's saying the problem is it's not that easy to just switch gears. Games stores aren't rich, we aren't some mega corp that can pull a 180 and be able to absorb the losses. GW is strong here in the U.S and I am glad that your club is playing other things but don't come around insulting store owners saying we are part of the problem when we are just trying to get by. If people want to concentrate on buying other things that's great but until they do most of us will keep our money where it's being made.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

There is no logical reason at this point in time to stick to playing Games Workshop games... They have been left in the dust by better games for a few years now.

But facts are they behave really badly towards their long time customers...

What's funny is that - with GW's annual price increases - poor selling product actually INCREASES in value.
One way FLG can compete is to not raise retails on their older stock. You paid 2010's cost on it - you don't have to charge 2013 prices. It will appear to your customers that you're giving it a discount, but you're really not losing any more margin than had it sold before the price increase. And since you won't be ordering it again - no worries on the increased costs. Roll that back into something that will sell.
I have no qualms with GW trying to protect their brand. With as much online discounting and gray market sales, I can see how they're hard-pressed to sell things at full retail. Restricting the market so as to protect their brand is sound if they want to raise the perceived "image" - problem is, there's too many of us old-time players who are used to the old prices and/or shopping at a discount that they have to drop us all.
They're almost cleaning the slate. Directing stock so that it's sold at full retail, grooming new customers who don't know any better. All of us who are used to buying it for less can just go pound sand.
This is a great time for smaller companies though -

nkelsch never said there were no Warmahorde factions. He said they were none that he "enjoy(ed) the look of the models." He's saying he doesn't like how they look and won't enjoy painting them.
So, no. He's not been fed "fals" information about other games from a typical cult and needs to "get rescude".
"GW is just crap" is the flame-bait trolling that got you in trouble before.
Good on you for giving credit to FFG's Deathwatch, though. I guess you're more anti-GW than you are anti-40k. Good to know, either way.
There is a "logical reason at this point in time to stick to playing Games Workshop games", though. I enjoy the game and the fluff. I enjoy the Horus Heresy books, and a number of the mini-series they've done so far. I enjoy painting and modeling the Forge World Heresy era models. I also like the look of a lot of the new models that they've been releasing (expect the hideous Daemon Flies).
I hope you have a wonderful time with your Hordes models. I honestly do. I'm not sure why you have to continue to berate the 40k players, though. Sour grapes, I suppose.

I know he has, but there's a difference between grade A trolling and poor reading comprehension. I realize that English probably isn't his native tongue, but there wasn't even an attempt made to read what nkelsch wrote properly. He's just spewing his anti- GW vitriol.

Agree., Maybe I should have worded it better.
I simply do not care for any of the factions or how the models look. The only ones that appealed to me were the Minions as they had some good-looking beastmen which fit in with my 'bestiary' models I collect. I have played the game, I have seen the rules. It just doesn't appeal to me.
I also am an Ork collector which I enjoy converting models... which Warmahordes really doesn't do much and leaves modelers like myself out in the cold.
I do play other games, they are just not other WARGAMES. I like GW orks, I like 40k, I enjoy playing at 40k events and I like collecting models which work in my 40k ork army regardless of manufacturer. I do not need to be educated, bullied, abused to rescued until I change to PP.
I could never play another game of 40k ever again and I would still enjoy collecting, painting and modeling ' 40k orks'. I buy the models which I want and like the looks of, and I buy what I think are fun to paint. Right now for me, that is mostly Sci-fi orks and Chibi RPG models with a side of fantasy football and cool looking one-off display pieces.

The conversation on GW isn't an easy one. "Why stick with it..." isn't just something people can turn on and off when you've invested as much into it that people have.
Just because GW pulls garbage doesn't give a license to be a tool,either. People have the right to play what they want to. You don't get to degrade them, or run off just because you have issue with of all things- a gaming company.
This is the thing that rubs people the wrong way. You degrade them in one sentence, then talk down to them in the next.
"And yes my Dear you need to get rescude(because clearly someone is feeding you fals information about other games, and that is typical cult behavior).. There are alot of other games that are far better then Games workshop. I can say that compared to Infinity, Malifaux, Warmachine/hordes and Flames of War...

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

Surprised you didn't just link to his entire posting history. As much as I am not a fan of 40k the game, which I will admit is due to a bad player base at my old FLGS and not being able to really play 6th ed like I could play 5th ed, I'm never going to berate someone for liking a game. Everyone has their own personal reasons for wanting to play a game, and it's personal taste or what they can play in their local area. Nucflash, have you ever heard the phrase you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar? If you can present your argument as to why Warmachine is better than GW's games, and do so in a polite, well thought out manner, people will respond better to your posts instead of just assuming you're trolling, which seems to be a safe assumption at this point. Besides you, I believe most of the people in this thread that want to boycott GW are doing so because they're fed up with the company but do like the game, and want to like it.

I was just giving you the heads up that things are changing.. and it is going rapidly.. Also as a store owner you can effect things. I have been in the retail business all my life. And you can infact have an impact on your customers. Infact GWs sales people do all they can to get people to buy stuff as soon as they step through the door. On the other hand I do feel you might like Games Workshop games? And you mentioned your Bitz business before (I think you are not allowed to do that anymore so you might want to keep that to yourself).
And I did not Insult you dude, I asked if you did not undestand what was said. And I also told you that at the rate that this is going, the table top scene might look very diffrently in just a few years time. So I would not stockpile to many GW products you because end up with things you cant get ridd off..
And Yes things are moving much faster in the northen european countries, because we are a smaller community and word travels faster.. Also there is no real reason for you to go on the defensive, like you are.. and I personaly feel there is something off with your posts. Most independent retailers I have come in contact with, all over the world, do not think that their business will hurt from selling less GW products. Most of them are hoping for other games to sell more so that they can get ridd of GW... But your original post you made, that said that if we boycott GW, we will hurt the Local LGS, is just not true...

I won't outright boycott GW--- I simply like Fantasy too much. I love the models. I love the game. I still try not to buy things directly from GW, as I can usually find a better price somewhere else. But if I can't, well, I'll be buying from them.
"Boycotting" the company and continuing to play their games is just silly IMHO.

Not for a long time, I heard of this thing called "internet" where people tend to be able to talk to anyone at anytime. Instantly. I'll just google it, hang on.
Internet do not play games with you.. But when most of the Community has stoped playing GW games in favor of other games.. That is what I mean when I say that word travels faster.. The gaming scene is not as large as you have in germany and the US. So we can impact it much faster..

You'd best start making some effort with regards to spelling or you won't be posting at all.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Keep trolling me dude.. I know you love that.. But in the end I will be right and that is all that counts.. And yes sorry that I can't be bothered spelling everything correctly .
He's not trolling, he can't figure out what that sentence says. What moves faster? The transition from playing GW games to playing other games? What does the size of the country and communities have to do with anything? As Sigvatr said, we have this great thing called the internet.
You know Kronk is going trolling when he changes his avatar...
Fewer people, much easier to get people off the GW hobby.. that is what I'm saying.. And when all the tournaments and events are for other games then GW, then what people see, and what others are playing is what they will start doing..

The gaming scene is not as large as you have in germany and the US. So we can impact it much faster.. You have that backwards. You're local community is small, so that when the 4 guys you play all go to a new system, you have to: 1. change to their system to play. 2. Move. 3. Not play. That has nothing to do with "word traveling faster". Just limited options. But that's ok. You've "been in retail all of your life" so I'm sure you know all about this sort of thing.

Actually by not making the effort, you're in direct violation of a part of Rule 1 of Dakka
Please remember that posting and reading online is a visual format and as such the spelling, grammar and look of your posts is the only way others understand what you are saying. Therefore, in order to be polite, all users are expected to make an effort to use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation and should refrain from using internet shorthand or other distracting methods of writing, such as writing a post completely bolded, with capital letters, in a strange color, etc.
