It's a terrible, terrible store that nobody has any right buying from. Is it worth including some links or info about carrying case options? There always seems to be a steady stream of questions on them.

GW strikes again! I ordered 5 of the fancy tape measures as soon as they went up as i thought that they were limited. When i realised my error, i rang them up and they cancelled my order and refunded my money. I then replaced my order for just 1. Today, 6 arrive!

It's a shame that the red eyepiece is the release mechanism for the tape, it would be awesome removing it and fitting it with one of the laser pointers they did a few years back.

Don't really bother with detail, just some shading will be fine.

Moola posted:Buy one pack and call up for a few free replacements due to casting problems. No, not  , that's a massively cuntish thing to do, and is basically fraud/theft. It's also likely that that attitude is a huge part of the recent shift in GW policy to make people return defects to the retailer they bought it from.

Moola posted:I was actually joking about how any finecast you order is still pretty much garunteed to be faulty, and the silver lining is you might get a free replacement/refund that justifies the high cost. Fair enough, but your first post did read like you were saying the latter. Lots of finecast is faulty, but lots of it is no more faulty than the metal sculpts were. Not that that is an excuse, but the finecast detractors seem to conveniently forget that plenty of metal models were hosed too by leaking metal, mis-aligned moulds etc. Having said that, they really should have sorted things so that most models are satisfactory by now.

Torabi posted:I will never order anything from Maelstrom games again. Ever. I ordered some Vallejo Black Lava and Commissar Yarrick from them on July 3rd. They have yet to dispatch it and support is really slow, over a week ago they told me that they were still waiting for the Vallejo stuff and that they would dispatch things within a few days and now it is quiet and no reply on my support ticket. Maelstrom and Wayland are both utter poo poo for shipping, but recently Dark Sphere has gone the same way, as you mentioned. I ordered 4 pots of P3 paint on the 10th, and i'm still waiting for them to be dispatched. Apparently, they were missing from the order that DS received, so it seems that DS may well have gone to the horrible stock system that makes Maelstrom and Wayland so poo poo, namely that they keep zero stock and order it as the order comes in.

enri posted:Matt Ward spotted Deathwing is an obvious choice, with new DW Terminators in the soon-to-be-released starter box and a new DA book next year (probably). All Terminator GK and SW armies are also doable, and keep the model count down. Another option would be Orks. Fully kitted Warboss, Big Mek, Mega Nobz and a Deff Dread for Troops. I think they just turned Mega Nobz Finecast though, so that might be an issue unless you can hunt down the metals. Death Guard also tend to be low model count armies, and again are due for a new book in October-ish.

To go back to the Lysander love-in for a second, is it only the addition of allies that makes him worthwhile in 6th, or is there a pure SM list that he can work in? Tempted to paint him up for my oath this month but i have no interest in BA allies.

Dominion posted:People's first instinct is to put him with hammernators but that wastes half his abilities. The best place for him is with Sternguard, maybe in a drop pod. He adds so much survivability that they can actually survive a round or two longer than normal, and he twinlinks all their special ammo bolters. Sounds like it could be worth a shot.

Corrode posted:The FLGS owner in Bristol recently gave me an interesting line about why orders were getting hosed up - the new automated system that GW uses will reject a whole order (remember, you get one a week) if any part of that order is out of stock. So if you order a grand's worth of stuff and Slaanesh Pink is out of stock that £2.50 pot of paint will screw up the whole order. I don't know how true it is, but it might explain the recent trouble a lot of people are having. It's not just GW stock causing issues, I had to cancel an order with Wayland due to it not even being processed after a week, and a recent Darksphere order for paint took weeks too.

Conversely, Harry said the list was probably kosher, plus Hastings is basing his opinion on the Tau being wrong, but it's likely that some Tau might be released before that list kicks in next June/July.

I can't decide whether to buy a couple of starters and split them for sale, or not bother. I did it with IoB and made enough from 2 boxes to pay for a 3rd which i kept, but nobody knows what the crap a Hellbrute will be, or if anyone wants any cultists.

Back to the Chaplain talk, have they stated anywhere he is limited? Everything I could see talks about the box with him added being limited, rather than him specifically. If I'm reading it correctly, they could well be intending to sell him separately later.

Would Fallen have black armour? They definitely wouldn't have any chest aquilla, so you'd need to remove those. e: why do halved colour schemes tempt me so? I have no interest in DA, but i'm so close to painting the DA half up as Angels of Redemption. Lungboy fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Aug 27, 2012 |

The UK page even says that orders will be available from local GW stores on the 1st, and that if you choose home delivery, they will be sent on Friday (essentially meaning you won't get it until monday at the earliest). The standard edition is now up on the US site.
