Where's the goodwill?

I dread to think the size of mine....

13?

I dread to think the size of mine....

Bloody hell MM 14.97 rising...

A mighty electronic pizzle indeed Sir, my compliments.

[Wolfshade]

I am confused.

[Mr Mystery]

Wahey!

[DarkLink]

Now I need to figure out the size of my e-peen...

My e-peen is 3.5. Is that good?

It's how you use it that counts.

I apologize if I'm a little late to the party but I had to throw in my two cents.

I, like a lot of others here, had my fair share of grumbles and complaints about GW. But what did it for me was shuttering Specialist Games. This is pretty silly to say, but I felt betrayed by that announcement, deflated. I was trying to get back into the swing of things after life got in the way by repainting my old BFG Elder fleet. Hearing about Specialist Games totally took the wind out of my sails, what little there was anyway. I'm sure there are plenty of valid business reasons to end production of SG, but I can't help but feel like if GW supported SG, more it'd still be around. By killing SG, GW has made the game smaller.

At the same time, GW is making the game bigger, which brings me to my second issue, flyers and big kits. Its like they've forgotten that 40k is a miniatures game. They're introducing units into 40k, not Apocalypse, but regular 40k that, I believe at least, are more appropriate for Epic (part of the defunct SG range).

And speaking of flyers, why do they have to be so frakking ugly? Everything after the Ork Bommer has been just stupid looking (I include the Stormtalon in this statement). They have me questioning the quality of GW's artists and sculptors if they thought that releasing the Tau Sun Shark was a good idea. That thing is hideous, IMO obviously.

My third issue is of course the descent of White Dwarf. I remember when it was useful, had experimental rules , and chapter/legion specific rules. Now it's just a catalog with pretty pictures and "How to paint space marines" articles. It's just sad.

One more thing, it's been said several times in this thread that GW considers their games to be "beer & pretzels" games. That might be a valid excuse if they didn't charge "champagne & caviar" prices, for minis and rules.

On that. I was a V keen Inquisitor player. Still got a lot of 54mm models and am planning to make a few more as a project. Although GW have stopped making and supporting Inq and other specialist games they are still happy to take our money and allow us to hire GWHQ for comps/events......
