All clean and spangly new. (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/FW-Home?_requestid=4461212)

And there's a Limited Edition Space Marine Legion Centurion (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Space-Marine-Legion-Centurion-Web-Exclusive). £20.00, and available until September 30th.

The free shipping limit is also £100.00 rather than the usual 250 until Sept. 30th.

Hell no. Nothing there interests me until that Tau Titan. Even then I can wait for the CAD to get better.

Reckon we'll be seeing that big boy in the next couple of weeks.

Wish the limited model had a better head.

Does seem to be prime candidate for a noggin swap.

Though it would work nicely in Terminator Armour, if you ask me.

It's still missing the one feature I was really hoping for: a "ship to my local store" option (unless your local store is Nottingham).

Also accounts seem to be separate from the main GW site, so two separate voucher balances.

Mr Mystery

Was there not something in the rumours about that being forthcoming though?

I keep losing track!

But why would this not be the exact point at which it was forthcoming? Why would you do a complete overhaul of your UI and not include all the changes?

It was a rumour, yeah, but it was always a bit wishlisty

if Forge World does indeed end up on the main GW site then you will have one voucher for both

Mr Mystery

One voucher to rule them all?

It's... kind of curious. They spent 1.1m pounds, but all they did was convert to the basic infrastructure of the GW store. That does create some unity of theme (sort of) throughout the company (with Black Library still being odd man out), but if you're spending that much already, why aren't you actually meshing the two together? I get having a separate site still, just because the categories need to be a bit different and all. But why isn't the currency change on the FW site? Why can't you use a GW voucher on the FW site? Why aren't you allowed to order FW and have it delivered to the local store (which isn't just convenient, but also helps show that the local manager is doing a good job of keeping people interested in spending money with GW)? But perhaps this is just Stage 1. If not, the annual report seems a bit misleading, though it was technically accurate.

On the plus side, it's actually a cleaner interface, easy to find things, and the lower limit on free shipping means I might go ahead and grab Perturabo and something else soon.

That exclusive miniature looks like it's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and the boss just asked him to stay back late.

Also, those injuries are clearly received earlier in the battle, so shouldn't there be some blood or something?

Astartes clot quickly, it might not have bled too badly. It might just be very deep scar tissue.

I like him, he looks like an ugly son of a ***** that's been fighting on the front lines of a galactic crusade for over 200 years.

His head shape very much reminds me of a Sontaran.

My thoughts exactly.

That Dark Eldar tab is depressing :(

Always has been. Especially before it got bumped up from one model to three.

The Tomb Kings page, now... that really makes me feel nostalgic for a past that never was.

So his answer to everything involves grenades, and a full-on charge? Right then.

And Laser Monkeys.

Erik Setzer

Right. I remembered monkeys, but knew there was more to it than that, and I couldn't find the proper quote. I'd have just used it as an excuse to re-watch the episode, but I can't really do that at work... (Tonight, on the other hand, is a different matter. Gotta prep for the new season somehow.)
