40K 25th Anniversary

[gwensdad]

No events anywhere near me
(or at least none I'm aware of)

I think i will attend the GW glasgow one, the people there are nice and theyve got a few painting contests

(and hopefully pick up the limited edition mini )

As the stuff they are putting out looks pretty lame (where's my collector's edition rulebook GW?) and the store will be rammed full of smelly and annoying children, I think I'll pass.

Wildey, I would say come down to Leics, as the store is big enough to never really feel rammed full (of smelly, annoying kids or otherwise). That said, after last night's football you would quite possibly be mocked regardless of whether you support your local team or not lol.

No Games Workshop store anywhere near me (and currently skint anyway), but checked my orders on GW's site and my limited edition figure has been dispatched, so with luck I'll have that tomorrow to make a start on.

Lol, yeah Derby are my second team so I can just imagine the stick I'd get. Still, could be worse, I could be a forest fan! Glad to hear the leicester store is a reasonable size, the derby one is slightly too big to be a one-man store, but still get's crowded pretty easily. Thanks for the invite, but I think I'll pass, I'm feeling a tad let down by this 'big' anniversary so I'm giving it a miss and not buying any of GW's really awesome mousemats and wristbands.

So...listing the loot I picked up today!

I picked up the mini. I initially thought it was kind of a stupid niche product, but I have it in my hands and it looks great. No flaws that I've noticed. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep it or sell it to a Crimson Fists player that might enjoy it more than I. I want to keep it, but I play SWs and DE so...yeah. Kind of the same boat as I was in when I picked up the FW Boarding Action Mark III Marine. I could strip off the insignia and laurels to fit in with my SWs, but I feel that's a bit of a crime. The details are what make them amazing minis.

I picked up the poster. It's really nice. Made out of a thicker poster stock. Smaller than I imagined it, but the quality of paper and the art make up for the size. It's about half the size of the Adeptus Astartes posters they sell during GW birthday bashes. It came in a rather nice tube and paper wrapping.

Sidenote: The packaging for the mini and the poster are REALLY nice. Kind of strange to be honest.

I also picked up the anniversary pin and an Astartes rubber bracelet.

I thought it was kind of funny that my store had a ton of Mouse pads left over.

Also got the new White Dwarf. Good issue from what I've read so far.

Lucky you. I was 12th in line at my store and theyd already run out of pins by then. Further, they didn't give away any of the posters, etc, but rather you had to wait around multiple hours for a raffle.

Absolutely wasted trip. Just sell the effing posters GW. Dammit to hell.

Did you go to a LGS or a GW location? I have a GW about ten minutes from my house. They were selling the posters for $4.10. The only freeby was the pin.

Went to a GW. Won't be going to any of their events again. Very disappointed.
