Yeah man, that head kinda ruins it for me. Really cartoon-ey and 40k-ish. urgh.

Looks like they have fixed the Av to 2+

The rules for the Centurion seem to have been updated - he now has a 2+ save in the profile. I assume the relic is supposed to be given to a Captain to represent him in a 40k SM army.

Centurions are the captain equivalent during the Heresy era yes.

A lot of things that were 'Out of Stock' and coming back 'soon' when inquired have disappeared.

Poor SoB Repressor.. amongst other things.

Yepp - along with most, if not all of the rule pdfs. Let's hope they did so just because they are going to offer new models / provide updated rules 'soon'.

BTW anyone else having an issue with the new FW and the GW shop site? It keeps showing me the mobile version on my desktop (Firefox 40, Win7x64) and I have to switch to Full Version every time i visit - doesn't happen in other browsers though.

So they've put the rules up for Nurgle Tamurkhan and Chaos Dwarves in AoS... Anyone here use them?

As I keep saying about this: Be careful what you wish for.

Why? Are you thinking that they'll give people "Australian prices"? Since they aren't stocking it locally, I don't see the reason for that.

No, we wouldn't get the arbitrarily high prices that Australia gets, but we would be stuck with what would presumably be higher prices than we pay now. Just look at some of the old FW catalogs that listed US$ prices, they were often slightly higher than the exchange rate at the time.

For now, at least, we're able to keep an eye on exchange rates and make a purchase when they're a bit more favorable to the dollar, reducing the overall expense somewhat.

I'm thinking they'll give Australian people Australian prices, so despite still coming from the UK and us still having to pay shipping (unless we "impulse buy" £100... LOL!), they'll cost 25%-50% more for no God-damned reason.

I know, I know, "Don't care. Got mine!", but for those of us who aren't you this could be a big deal.

I like the Centurion. He can be an Imperial Fist with a Solarite Power Gauntlet in my HH army. Or perhaps a sergeant. I like the Terran Era eagle shoulder pad.

I just Re-Registered my account, though. Annoying that I can't go see my old orders.

Having just spent a bunch of $$$ at GenCon and a couple of vacations this year, I'll not be hitting that 100 British Pound moneys for anything anytime soon. I'll just grab the Centurion and keep paint my Bones I and II. (Finished a Barbarian! Might do a dragon next! Yay, off topic!)

I love everything about that Centurion apart from his head, just does not look right to me, going to have to swap that out for sure.
The armour is pretty tasty though.

The head is posed slightly differently between the painted and unpainted versions, so that should be easy enough. Mk 3 Salamanders helmet, as I said, is my plan.

The fist also drew my eye and that thought also crossed my mind. Looks like Fists may be happening after all.

I'm deeply disappointed that this new shift will not allow me to place FW orders at my local GW shop...

I know it was wishful thinking that it would happen, but damn was I wishing.

Yeah, me too.

That could still happen eventually, Kan, particularly after plastic HH comes out.

It could be that they're doing this in stages, so moving to the same web design is just the obvious first step, and we'll eventually end up with an almost completely integrated website, with in-store ordering possible.

Here's hoping it won't randomly put me on the German or Spanish site like the regular GW site does though.

Did anyone else notice that nowhere in this advert was an actual URL for their "new" web store? I mean we all know it but don't companies usually include that detail anyway? For a web store? That's "new"?

I agree. The mouth looks a little lop-sided, like he's had a stroke. I really like the rest of it though.

The Centurion head does not fit an Ultramarine, but if that is a Death Guard Centurion it works much better.

The fluffy description mentions he is a Terran, so he probably saw some horrible gak before being joined by his father and it it's an Ultra, they saw some horrifying gak of their own for sure.

Dude, I asked you a perfectly reasonable question in a totally polite way. Why the hostility? Do you just resent people who can afford to buy stuff from Forge World? Obviously, I care; otherwise, why would I ask? If I were to take your tone, I'd reply to every one of your posts with, "Butthurt. Whine more!"

To respond to your concern:

In the current distribution modelI don't think that if they offer home currency pricing, there would be a price increase among other currencies. GW has claimed that the prices for their products in Australia is higher because of costs of operations and distribution there. Since Forge World products aren't distributed from Australia, stocked there, or sold locally, there would be no such reason for this.

Now, on the other hand, if rumors are true, and stores start stocking Forge World products later in the year, or if FW products can be ordered to GW stores with free shipping, this could absolutely happen.

Note that currency exchanges don't hurt everybody. There are some regions that have prices that are actually consistently cheaper than the UK, when factoring in currency.

Talys, mate, your passive aggressive is showing, put it away.

As for your point?

One word: Digital.

These are sad times when we consider free shipping for $200 to be a bargain...

The centurion model is nice although the head does remind me of this:

Nah, there was no passive at all It was right to the point. I'm not sure if he has a problem with all people who can afford GW/FW products and express that they like them, or just me. I don't know why you'd bother posting in a thread about a website where pretty much every purchase is going to be over GBP100, like a GBP100 purchase is a big deal. If you can't afford models that are GBP100, you're not gonna be buying Forge World. Or at least not much.

HBMC posted a valid concern, which was the only reason I responded at all.

I don't get what you mean by "digital", sorry.

Be the bigger man and just ignore him, Talys. I don't know why you bother with H.B.M.C. and Azrael13. They just don't like Games Workshop and enjoy harassing people who do.

@vyx - lol, yeah. Az seems to think he's performing a public service by telling people that I'm wrong; HBMC... I have no idea.

Oh well, not everyone can like me I guess!

Anyways, back on topic for the thread: I think permanent free shipping at GBP 100 would be a great thing. It's a reasonable threshold, given that everyone understands the cost of shipping from the UK is not cheap.

Yes, I ship things out to Europe all the time, and price of basic post for a small parcel or large envelope really steep. But we get screwed by Canada Post anyhow. I think we have some of the most expensive mail prices in the developed world.

If you've a problem with something I post, kindly do me the courtesy of responding to me directly, not indulging in some sort of weird schoolyard attempt to whisper behind my back, which, spoiler alert, doesn't work on a written forum.

That's what PMs are for, and, whoo, you should hear what everyone is saying about you!

Oh, and just to address your massively wide of the mark comment, I don't enjoy harassing people who like GW, I simply don't like people trying to irrationally defend their preferences with poor arguments.

It is also possible, in the case of something as complex as GW, to be critical of certain aspects while liking others, although it is getting harder for me to find things to like, I'll admit.

I noticed that as well. I went to log in on the new site and had to re-register.
