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.

The first step on the road to disappointment is actually Hope!

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

I, for one, am glad they aren't sticking us with the horrid US to English price conversions in the physical FW catalog.

Amazing. They delete everyone's existing accounts, migrate over to the fething awful GW website layout, yet they're still doing the totally unjustifiable 12% flat-rate shipping cost?!

feth 'em, time to go east.

This? This is what is pushing you over the edge to recasting?

OK, then.

I didn't see if this was posted here already, but someone who worked on the new website is answering questions.

Azrael13, Talys makes excellent arguments. I enjoy reading his posts immensely.

I also really like GW models and I absolutely love Age of Sigmar. I think they make just wonderful games. I am thick-skinned, and don't really care what people think of me, ESPECIALLY people online that I don't know and won't ever meet. I do not have any self-esteem issues, LOL.

I really dislike all the negative posts here. Some people (you are one of them) seem to repeat the same complaints about Games Workshop over and over and over, "ad nauseum". I came here because there were great pictures of models, interesting news, and little tips about Age of Sigmar, but there are way too many snarky comments that just make finding news pretty much not worth the effort except to scan for pictures.

I think Forge World makes really nice products, though they are a bit advanced for me. I'm glad they have a new web site, and I like it better than the old one.

You'll very rarely see me post in a thread in isolation simply to make a negative comment (unless maybe I really don't like a new model or something.)

If you're seeing people making the same arguments, it's simply because there appears to be a factory somewhere that spits out a new poster every few weeks who makes the same statements that have long been shown to be false, based on unsteady logic or whatever, and consequently provoke similar responses.

But the fact that you think Talys makes excellent arguments suggests this conversation isn't going anywhere...

And maybe take it somewhere else kiddos? Before other parties get involved.

Yes, please - back on topic!

This thread is for discussing new FW releases, not the general state of GW (there are many threads in Dakka Discussions for that).

Fixed that for you RiTides

What sort of specialist units will the Dark Angels Legion have in 30K then? Has there been any mention of that sort of stuff in the books (Black Library books)

Something with Bikes and Something with Terminator Armor, I bet.

Perhaps even a special Jet Bike unit!

Might there be a special unit/collection of characters who are Johnson's inner circle?

Merir Astelan and Attias would be nice.

You can also expect Corswain to show up, alongside Cypher and co.

Cypher would be interesting.

But the question would remain, would it be just one of those who had the title Lord Cypher, or would it be an earlier version of 40k Cypher.

The best thing would probably be to keep Cypher out of the game, it is hard as hell to live up to the awesome rules they put out for him in 40k.

That's the thing, though, is that the unnamed Cyphr of the time wouldn't be as potent or have accumulated the experience and/or patrons that would account for the 40k version's rules, IF it's even the same being. At that point, same person or not, his rules ought to be notably different to the version from 10,000 years later.

Oooh, what if 30K Cypher is a later version of 40K Cypher thrown back in time through the warp, and responsible for all sorts of manipulation?

Luther, he has to be in. I'd put money down on Luther and Corswain, Luther because he's Luther and Corswain because he's essentially the Legion Champion.

I doubt Cypher would make it because he's really just a hooded Moritat. Although if they do make a model for him, i bet it would be far better than the 40k version.

Corswain has been name dropped a few times now as one of the best swordsmen in the entire Legion Astartes, alongside Sigismund and Sev, so he will be in, I'm sure of that.

I absolutely hate this new site. The old one was really nice with all kinds of big buttons to click on. This one has sidebars. I hate sidebars!
Also, the centurion model is nice (dat head though), but I think it is really strange the armour can not be taken by BA, SW or DA.

oh ffs, the site isn't even that bad. Yeah, it's not as convenient as the other one, but this is another thing that just seems to prove that people will whine about anything that GW does at this point. "oh my god, the new FW site has things I don't like, welp, time to quit the hobby!"

I could not find the Imperial Armour books until I used the search function.

What are they listed under? Like the Badab War and stuff.

Well, since no one has said that, or anything close to that, it is probably best to not add to the Hyperbole that is...The Internet.

Thanks!

Well, that puts paid to the 'Combining Forgeworld and GW websites' thing.

They've got a tick-box of their own. The books are under the 40k section, in between Featured Products and Titans.

Oh.

I don't like it.

Obviously the new site is worse, everything GW does with this stuff is always worse. The basic defense right now though seems to be that "it could have been much worse

Neither do I, but c'est la vie.

Let's see how long before BL adopts the same site.

D'awww. I'm not a Sisters player, never will be, but I DID want some of those repressor kits to make more armored-up-looking rhinos..

Intriguing. I think this comment is quite revealing:

Q: Site looks great! Now tell those boys to make some new warhammer models once and a while

A: They may do some more later on down the line, but the decision comes from board level, not the Forge World team.

Maybe FW don't have as much freedom as I perceived...

I really hope we get rules and models for the Pseudo Astartes human knights of the Dark Angels legion.

I would love to build an allied detachment of just them, they always stuck out in the fluff.
