Army painter quickshade is amazing and much, much better than minwax. I've done several hundred figures with it, by brushing it on with a large soft brush.
....and lo!.....The Age of Sigmar came to an end when Saint Veetock and his hamster legions smote the false Sigmar and destroyed the bubbleverse and lead the true believers back to the Old World.

Does it come in blue? Because if so, that would probably drastically cut down my Crimson Fists painting time. I have a big addition to my army coming, and if I could save on time that would be great.
Even if there isn't blue, this would still work great for a new army (such as a White Scars army I am considering).

I'd rather they just make a better one.
Just take the Interrogator-Chaplain and file off all of the DA markings. That is what I am considering. I doubt the RCS Chaplain will see separate release anyway, since he is still available, unlike Karlaen or the SFU Terminator Captain.

True, but that isn't even the norm for Clampacks (or the BaC characters, to bring this around to the thread topic) anymore. Hopefully they will release the PA character from the BaC separately, only he and the Contemptors are really desirable to me. He would look quite nice in black with a pair of red fists (with some dark blue pauldrons), if I say so myself.
Yeah I pretty much only use Army Painter paints now, especially the sprays. except for the occasional color I need that they don't have. I really do love the new GW sigmarine gold foundation color. I always had to use a yellowy color first and then coat it with gold cuz it was too transparent before.
I haven't gotten any of the cans of AP shade though, but I use the dropper versions. I never got the other shades because they're oil based and I'm too lazy to go buy a $4 can of turpentine.
On that note, gonna need a new can of bone color spray to basecoat my new 30k marines
according to the white dwarf vistions it's listing the new set for $220CAD instead of the current $180CAD, with a simular price raise across the board for all the curencies.
Is this comfirmation the price will go up was pre-orders are over for the set?

No, they print visions far ahead, and dropped the price. For now at least, it's the lower price. The next printing will be around the end of the year.

This has been the biggest topic of discussion for the last couple of pages, already.

A big pile of Betrayal.
Is that what you called the first AOS and finecast shipments too?
Finecast actually sold decently at first. AOS i had nearly all of mine sold through the store, dakka, and ebay before the shipment came in. I could smell the death on that box from a long way out.
I'm liking the sweet smell of betrayal a whole lot better than the stench of the glory of sigmar, that's for sure
Weren't you the guy who was super positive about AoS, organizing a league and everything?

It worked. He sold it, didn't he? In all seriousness, store owners aren't required to like/use every product they sell or support. I can't really stand MTG or any CCG but if I owned a store you'd better believe that I'd stock them and host a game night.
GW don't do that much limited edition, they generally do 'while stocks last'. That gives the impression something has limited availability without legally preventing them from releasing it again later.
I'm pleased as punch, I don't want the minis being limited edition. I want the new assassins, the broodlord that came with that boxed set etc all available. In case I want to buy them...
I am not. If I'm purprosefully setting asside money to get a product that is "limited" only to find out it's not, I feel suckered. I'm also far less likely to purchase anything in this vein from now on.
Thank goodness there's none of that being pulled in the Betrayal at Calth.

Have GW ever released a playthrough video before or is this a big step forwards in terms of their 'marketing'?

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
The video is decent, and the game looks... interesting. Mission-driven gameplay, cards, the hex-based movement and the dice mechanics look decent, but I'm not sure about the unit-based gameplay but with individual model stats. It works fine in 40k, as a complex wargame, and I like it there, but here, it seems that it's possibly just unnecessary complication...
The minis and tiles look fantastic.

I dont play 40k but I do read the Horus Heresy series. I am on the 11th book and now dont think I can go any longer without throwing my hat into the ring
Very high production values on all the contents. The minis are excellent - crisp details and plenty of options for the Tac and Termi squads. The characters really are very nice. Even the Contemptor looks better in person.
In case people are wondering how I got this today, remember that due to time zone differences, New Zealand exists in the future!
It's a bit of a tight fit with all those sprues, but it's a great deal and everything in it is of a great, high quality.
Well, except for the writing.
It's obvious from reading the main rule / fluff book that while Forge World provided the style along with some of their gorgeous art (rest taken from BL publications of course), the writing is very obviously done by GW, especially when compared to FW's Horus Heresy books. While it still does the job, it's perhaps a bit less, adult oriented and a bit more punchy?
But yes, when I got my box I got a good vibe from it, there's something about that box art that really reminds me of older versions.
