Still playing around with possible GK lists, how does this look: HQ (155pts) Librarian (155pts)- ML3 - storm bolter - Cuirass of Sacrifice Elites (200pts) Purifier Squad (200pts) 6 guys, 2 hammers, 2 incenerators + Rhino Troops (585pts) Terminator Squad (195pts) 5 Guys, 1 hammer, 1 psycannon Terminator Squad (195pts) 5 Guys, 1 hammer, 1 psycannon Terminator Squad (195pts) 5 Guys, 1 hammer, 1 psycannon Fast Attack (150pts) Razorback, twin lascannon (75) Razorback, twin lascannon (75) Heavy Support (410pts) Nemesis Dreadknight (205pts) Heavy Psycannon, Nemesis greatsword,Personal teleporter Nemesis Dreadknight (205pts) Heavy Psycannon, Nemesis greatsword,Personal teleporter I don't want to start with more than one FOC as some of the games I'll probably play in the beginnning will not allow that. They also only allow CAD, so no teleporter rush shenanigans i guess

Err, no it isn't The instructions are part of the product. There's no onus to have them separately available and there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for proof of purchase when you know that people are buying knock-offs that don't come with instructions.

It absolutely is. I've never recast nor bought a recast but you can bet I'd be offended if I 1) had to call Forgeworld to get the instructions to assemble something and then 2) needed to provide proof of purchase to receive a digital copy of the instructions. The only reason I didn't know about this process was because when ANAmal gave me a warhound as a gift without the instructions I just found them online with a google search. Because you know, it's 2014. Also seriuosly Forgeworld is hosed if giving the instructions away free is that big a deal

I think this is a mountains out of molehills situation. Just email them, get a response back in like an hour or so and go back to 'hamming. If you feel so strongly tell them about it in the email. And be happy LEGO don't do the same thing  .

I'm pretty sure that the idea of it being advisable to make things harder for your legit customers in order to "catch" or "punish" thieves had already begun to be discredited a decade ago. If someone buys from a recaster, then FW has already lost that sale and they're gonna figure out how to put their model together one way or another (like Chirurgeon says)--they're not gonna go AHHH YA GOT MEH and shamefacedly buy the real model after FW delivers the :masterstroke: of not having instructions freely available. That said, it probably won't change soon so just give them the info and accept this as the 'cost' of doing business with GW corporate.

Video Game companies have been providing their manuals online, for free, and it in no way correlates with piracy. Having your books and models produced in China, does. GW is a bad company news at 7.

I'm still waiting to hear back despite trying to follow up twice.

I now have a burning desire to make a Space Hulk-style display board for my Deathwing, complete with a plethora of LEDs and sliding doors that make the sound the doors from Doom make when you open them.

I don't know if it applies to FW but GW doesn't ask for proof of purchase for instructions. A friend of mine gave me the Sentinel from his guard battle force and I just emailed GW saying I needed instructions and they sent me a PDF right away.

I'll be heading up there for an interview and will swing by to see what the state of the construction is these days. I'm hoping to be there by 11am. I'll probably have lunch in Bugmans. I'm super easy to spot as I am always wearing a baseball style cap. This time it's dark blue with a white M on the front.

Just wondering, with the Archmagos Draykavak, how does the size of his head compare to the size of a normal space marine head? I was thinking about using the skull head for a conversion, but I am not sure of the scale of the thing. With luck it will be comparable and then I can start the fun of trying to find someone who put the non skull head on that is willing to sell their spare head.

BULBASAUR posted:What are some of the coolest objective markers you guys have seen? One of the guys at the LGS has working blinking LED lights built into the teleport homer bits and uses them on his objective markers. He's also the kind of crazy dude who lights up his vehicles and has smoke markers made from those LED tea lights, so he goes the extra mile with his 'hamms.

Cool find Cataphract. Makes me think of a video game, which is neat. These also look cool as you can model them into some neat bases...  ... but the numbers make no sense
