They just released teasers for the 'new' Harlequins too. 

26 days into the job CEO Kevin Rountree must be so pleased.

There are a few uncatagorised climbs there, Peter.  :D

Best thing is the fanboys defending those awesome figures (the ones in the report)  8)
Loosing sales is never good and for the last 3 reports they cannot hide it anymore. Reap what you sow I guess.

Might have to buy 20 bottles of their dark wash (Nuln oil or whatever it's called this month).  Without that I will have to learn to paint again.  Other than that: STUFF EM!
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

i actually find the vallejo washes easier to work with than GW's. They 'flow' better for me.

I like the thickness of the workshop one: does the Vallejo "cling?"

All the rest of my paints are Vallejo supplied by Leon  :)

I see Spartan Games gave just announced that they have reached an agreement with Microsoft and will be releasing the official HALO table top games in due course.

I've never played HALO but it has a huge fan base and a huge back story, if this doen't scare GW into changing their ways then they really are doomed.

Yeah, i saw that too Dan.  Like you i've never got into HALO, but you're right its a huge franchise and a major win for Spartan.

Warlord Games got the Terminator franchise too.  I'm a lot more interested in that i have to say.

GW have painted themselves into a corner and these 'newcomer' companies (often stocked full of ex-GW talent) are taking their customer base.

Yep and this talent really understand what gamers want, which the GW bean counters don't!
