Odd, I could have sworn my post also contained my opinion on the page.
Like the filters very much, the look not so much but that could be me just not being used to it. Time will tell.
Been on the phone to GW. Had to re-register my account for the new site (apparently everyone does).
Also, FAQ's will be back "soon".
I : IX, I : XIV, II : DCLXVI
From what I have seen of it it does not appear to have much web design done with it so far, just a new shopping cart that is a mobile friendly format, based on that I wonder why it took them a full day unless they were trying to retain product page history from the previous website. The lack of errata is also confusing unless they plan to add them as page links to the respective codex they apply to or intend to simply move that sort of information to the a white dwarf daily blog if they bring it back

So on the one hand I like that that you can filter things by various categories.
On the other hand, why is it that I can check "digital books" to filter out all actual books, but can't find a way to filter to only "printed books" and filter out all the digital ones???
A few more thoughts about it now the first day is gone : OK, from the perspective of a store website, the design is nice, on the shopping features side it's really improved, but overall it's flawed by some bad choices, I think mostly of the filters : there's a lot in the different pages, but you have to understand on your own how they work, and it's not really as clear as it can be in many others webstore across the Web. I introduced it to a friend who hasn't saw it yet, and browsing in it is not as easy as the design suggest. So tweaks expected here.
Webstore perspective put aside, this new site is a complete failure : there is absolutly nothing else. I mean, just compare to the Spartan Games' one for example : there is a LOT more to see other than directly "Hey, look ! Nice product, nice product pages ! Buy now !". Games Workshop is just the ONLY major game company that has completly failed the Internet step : a website that has become over the last decade just a shopping gallery, and a social network policy that no one can understand. By the way, anybody knows why they shutted down Forge World, Black Library and Digital Editions Facebook pages recently ?
