GW can make whippy sticks in house using existing whippy stick moulds, essentially free.

Tapes would require them to spend money - not gonna happen! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726734.page GMT Proper use of the measuring stick from GW

Nothing to do with the profit margins on the thing. If they included a proper tape measure in the box, what incentive would the customer have to buy an official Citadel Tape Measure? That would be their exact logic I assume.

That being said, I got one of those GW tape measures back in the 90's and it is great. Never had issues with it. And despite being a Servo-Skull, I am not a fan of the newer ones at all.

As for whacky sticks, they serve no purpose beyond marking border edges, and whipping people. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726768.page GMT Proper use of the measuring stick from GW http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473780/4726787.page GMT Proper use of the measuring stick from GW 40k he tries to avoid "Bell-ends".

I told him I needed the stick, he goes "hm?" I go "hand me the measuring stick, please." the second he gave it to me, I gave him a savage lash over his hand and yelled at him not to touch my doomwheel.

He payed for his behaviour with blood, and it was known that whippysticks are for flesh and shall never be used to whip painted figurines.
