They are investing in new tech and that always a good thing for long term results. Although short term and divdends to stock holders will suffer because of this… I think there fine right now and I think the new daemon army will be major boost to there profits.
minty:
look, I still work part time at GW, and belive me, though there loosing money they are still FAR from bankrupt, factor in the new things they payed for, and ake out that cost, which was a major ammount of last years profits and that bar will be at least twice as high, probaly better
and about WD, it’s has been better, except this issue was LoTR focused, which to you seems to make it crap, the last one was 40K focus, and you didn’t complain about that
Ronshank:
Aaargh foot in mouth disease strikes again.
Once again I have spoken rashly. I checked the GW site today and low and behold BfSP is now $95. Gotta stop goin’ off on these rants when I haven’t reciently checked stuff :~ 
i’ll try to kerb the rants, well attempt to anyway. Damn my impulsiveness.
I’ll just run off and start writing lines shall I…
…Assume makes an A…
BLOOD AXE:
Sorry Minty- I disagree. WD is not getting better. The 40K issue stinks too. Its pure catalog, no real support for the games.
Take an issue and count how many pages are advertisements, or catalog pics/price lists.
GW does not care about their customers. Constant price increases, “stealth/hidden” increases, no more rules updates, that crappy $6 Magazine(catalog). Even the exrtremely poorly handled Nemesis fiasco.
If you think $2.50 is a reasonable price for a tiny plastic Skeleton figure. Or $75 for 5 Black Knights. The YOU buy them. I’ll pass.
You are entitled to your opinion, Im entitled to mine. You work for them, so I don’t expect you to agree.
minty:
hey, i never said i liked the prices, i said WD was getting better, It’s still not a good mag compared to what it used to be, but it is getting better
and as for the knights of blood keep, i agree there FAR to expencive, but that sprue is loaded man, and I mean it, but I don’t think i’ll buy them, just convert, those rules are sick:)

Malificant:
a great game from reaper. everyone should check it out.
Khan!:
I just went to the reaper/warlords website, and the minis are admittedly pretty cool. Right now I’m trying to find some cheap but decent monster minis (like giant spiders, hydras, etc) to pad out my collection for Warhammer Quest and this could be the company to do it.
Actually, now that I think about it I think the big problem GW may have is that its best games are the older ones that aren’t supported, ie Quest, Necromunda, Mordheim, Space Hulk. So to play the really good stuff you can’t entirely rely on GW. And I don’t want to fork out $50 dollars for a GW monster mini even if it is really cool… Maybe that’s just MY problem :~

if gw goes under warhammer will not die
its like dnd for wargames
the first stepping stone into a world of enjoyment
maby it will go to a company thats not public
but thats not the point gw been around longer than i have and rough times happen
Uzkul Werit:
These prices is why converting is essential if you wish to do the hobby on a sensible budget. My Daemon army would’ve cost me hundreds in metal but by using two Orc boxsets and some Miliput, it cost me much less.
Pyro Stick:
if gw goes under warhammer will not dieWarhammer will not die as there is so much of it still around. If GW closed down think about all the excess stock that would be left in the world. GW may of had rough times in the past but it cant last forever and now that it thinks it is better than the other model companies and can increase its prices etc hopefully it will see that it needs to lower prices for it to stay around. Or, if it refuses to lower its prices, then hopefully it will go out of business once it has re designed the chaos dwarfs. Then i dont really care what happens to it. If there hadnt been any hope of getting new CD's over the past few months/years then i wouldnt of cared if it went out of business now. IMO as it is now, it doesnt deserve to be the company that owns warhammer etc.

everthing must die .If gw dies something will replace it, or someone will buy it out and make a better
Pyro Stick:
everthing must die .If gw dies something will replace it, or someone will buy it out and make a betterI was thinking about that earlier. Do you think the rights and moulds for Warhammer and 40k could get sold to two completely diferent people and go completely different ways? If it gets sold then do you think the rules would even get changed?

Arlon:
if gw dies i hope it goes to privateer press
great company great games great prices
Hammerhand:
I doubt it, the moulds produce models according to the IP, they are useless without it. I also doubt any rules would ever get changed, or models. GW's biggest outgoings are surely development. A third party company would simply keep replenishing the sock to reduce its costs and that would probably just about kill it off.everthing must die .If gw dies something will replace it, or someone will buy it out and make a betterI was thinking about that earlier.
