The "+15 credits" in the middle of a sentence for Thickened Armour is what I hope isn't in the actual book.

Yeah that’s a doozy. On the other hand that is clearly an edited table (no row for any of 2, 3, 5, or 6) so we can hope that the random text is an artefact of that edit rather than original to the text (I’ve definitely seen weirder things happen to Tables in Word).

More likely, someone clicked on the table where the +15 credits needed to be, typed "+15 credits" and it didn't appear, so they re-clicked the box and typed it again. The original typing appeared mid way through the block of text and wasn't spotted. (and, as per GW practices, never proof read)

Yeah, that looks exactly like a copy/paste error I'd find in documentation all over corporate America.

From the [box-set] book:

Also, 2 and 3 exist, as does the entry for 5-6.

The typo isn't present within the book from the Hive Secundus box (which is presumably an otherwise identical table) but might be in the upcoming Book of Desolation which is what the article is primarily about.

Ah, OK. I hadn't seen that part mentioned, must have skimmed past.

Doh

Has War Comm ever featured a terrain making article that explicitly mentioned 3D printing?

The part about 3D printing the furnace ring caught my attention.

Pre orders are up and $52 for the packs of Spyers?! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but holy canoli, GW.

*sigh* bloody typical the alternate weapon options for each Spyrer / the champion aren't iincluded in the kit. Probably be a FW upgrade kit at some point, but still incredibly annoying. >.<

Yup, it's edited for the preview and they must have manually re-written the text? I get they are lazy, but isn't that more effort?!?

almost like "lazy" is not the issue with GW and people using the term to attack them are themselves lazy in their criticism lol

One could make the argument that it was a little lazy not to have checked that graphic before putting it live in the WHC post - from an editorial perspective, at the very least - but at least the book is correct.

Checking the image would mean having the original book to check it from, and I'm not convinced any of the Social Media team are trusted that much by the management

i suspect they get an email with a folder of stuff to put up and have to make do with that and that alone
