Still no FAQ -.-

Paypal is nice, but not really fussed.

Shame they didn't look at their postage pricing. That's still a killer and puts me off ordering FW most of the time. Shame really, because if they reduced the postage price and flat rated it instead of charging a percentage or even, god forbid, make it free at a lower level than it currently is I reckon they'd pull in more. Anecdotally, I heard that the free postage offer over Christmas was popular...

While I'll let them off for today because of the PayPal announcement, someone really ought to tell FW that "News Flash" really needs to be more than "here's some things we sell." I'm always keen to see the new stuff that comes out, and an email telling me about stuff I already know masquerading as news isn't really that interesting!

Well, this is big, and great, news!

sweet!!!
i've been waiting for them to start accepting PayPal...
took them long enough...

cheers

Amen brother! It's worse with a model like the new knight, a premium model you are being penalized for through the postage.

Come on FW we are all waiting on your postage prices to get into the 21st century! Are you sending the models by personal courier?? Are we paying for a night at the ritz for the courier on his journey with a free bar?!

I would hope they lower the threshold for free shipping, may be £50 for UK and £100 for rest of world? Not sure how they handle rest of world shipping but in the UK all of my orders come via UPS who in the UK are quite expensive compared to everybody else.

I can understand the fuss the US is making over paypal now being accepted as ordering from FW for them with a credit card was a pain, but most of my UK friends are making out FW now accepting paypal is a major improvement, is it really that hard to get your card out of your pocket?!?

Has anybody who has been to the recent events like the weekender found out when the new smaller Titans are coming out? I would expect it to be after the new Knight variants are released but I'm after something more concrete if we have it.

Nope, all of you in the UK are just paying inflated shipping rates to subsidize my orders from the US. International shipping is expensive, so thanks for helping to keep my costs down.

I guess you didn't read about how, for whatever reason, many US Banks block transactions with Forge World and make you jump through some really annoying hoops to clear your card for use?

Being able to use PayPal makes all of those headaches go away.

But thanks for reaching for the oh so original "Lazy Americans" card.

He specifically highlighted he understood why Americans found this new way useful, noting that it was hard for americans to purchase previously.

The lazy part was an anecdotal comment about his UK friends preferring paypal to taking their cards out on forgeworld website.

I'd really love it if FW would stop sending me messages to tell me that they have updated their blog and literally nothing else. Seriously, are they desperate for views on their site or something?

Wow really? I didn't know that. Why do they do that?

Because a lot of the really significant credit card fraud happening here in the US ends up being UK based purchases and the price of the items makes it look like a fraudulent purchase attempt.

I usually would call my bank before I made the purchase and there would be no issues.

Dunno. My Visa (actual credit card) works on their website, but I cannot get my mastercard (debit card) to work on their site, despite rather irate phone calls to the mastercard people.

PayPal is much better for me.

This. I literally gave up on Forgeworld purchasing after my bank and forgeworld both finger pointing at the other and nothing being able to get resolved. I just participated in group orders or bought stuff at Adepticon.

I don't know why but it really pisses me off. When FW dropped Aeronautica Imperialis I was living in the USA and I rapidly added an entire Imperial squadron and an entire Eldar squadron to my cart and went to pay for it, rejected and my card got cancelled. Not only was it a pain in the arse getting my card cleared so I could use it for day to day things again, but I missed out on the models. I still don't have an Imperial squadron and the ebay prices make me very sad If anyone is selling an Imperial Navy squadron, let me know!

These look really smart. Can't identify which torso's they are using though. Any ideas?

WE torso's?

They aren't on the website as far as I can see. So must be a future release. Unsure why they wouldn't release them at the same time.

I wants my MKIII Imperial Fists shoulder Pads!

I hate those helmets.

I think those are the SoH MKIV torsos

Some of those helmets look a little uneven, maybe it is just the photos?

Most World Eater are uneven, so...

I think they are new torso's they don't seem to match up to the available torso's.

I'm not too clued up on this but when did the World Eaters start adorning their helms in such a fashion? Was it after the Heresy had broken out as Khornes influence becomes more apparent?

Not a fan of much this week. Detail looks soft in a lot of the resin pics. Aesthetically it's all a bit meh. Would rather they spent time on other things to be honest.

I really want to see what they're going to do with all of those test drawings for different styles of Imperial Knights

The World Eaters Legion torsos are just not on the FW page yet. They'll surely add them in a couple of days/weeks:




What I don't get is where the Word Bearers close combar weapons are from? They look like the weapons of the Ashen Circle, just as power weapons.

Those Fist helmets look like something I could use for IW stand ins.
