Don't get me wrong fafnir, I love beautiful models. I would prefer a better gameplay system because I know that I can find good models from elsewhere.
How good GW's models are doesn't bother me, as internet sites often sell cheaper and nicer metals models that just need a bit of conversion work.
I feel imagination is important in games and that models aren't so important in terms of gameplay- roleplay games don't have figures and look at D&D figures.
Wheni I paint my models I do so because I display my army- and like it when people complement me on it, it wouldn't matter to me whether I then left it on the shelf and played with those blobs of clay.
I agree with GH, it was the icing on the cake comment that got me. In addition- 'the thing that unites everyone in this hobby is that we all love citadel miniatures.' I disagree, I think its the hard work, imagination and dedication to creating something fun that GW put into their work to play that really unites us here. (Before someone bites my head off, I said'put' not 'puts' )
@Warlord: Where is this skaven thing? Note I recieve UK edition.
Something else- has anyone noticed the showcase of the black legion army is actually that same iron warriors army that the guy was building up before?
That preview must have been a bit of a joke- they must know we have all seen it on the internet (or I saw it at games day- otherwise waste of money).
I'm not happy about the angry, mean looking goblins, I liked the bumbly, fun and crazy goblins.
Lastly, I am very annoyed by wood elves. So far there have been three articles on how to paint thenm for different seasons.
How many types of winter are there?
In fact, the exact same models have been used each time.
All say aye, if you want W-E.com to produce its own version of WD, it is garuanteed to be better!
I'm actually seriously considering this.
