Yup, back when GW imported RPGs from US to UK.

@coxjul thankyou. I actually think what defines “quality” would be a great debate on its own. I know the things that I value in miniatures and models and I can mostly separate the subjective from the objective but I’d love to get an insight into what other people look for and what criteria they use to […]

Maybe. I guess you have to decide for yourself whether the end justifies the means. Personally I’m very happy with the final result, despite the frustrations involved getting there and will probably buy more, especially now I have a better understanding of what it’s all about and how all the components work. I can see […]

“original format”?
The original format was back when they covered all kinds of games, before it became a GW-only rag…

I will agree with the cautious optimism

I wonder if this means that it will be available in WH Smiths etc again (replacing Visions?)

@onlyonepinman – I think you have qualified your markers very well already. Good debate 🙂

That sounds like an awful lot of hassle despite the cost tbh.

Of all the things to be insulted about?
I hope you haven’t been watching Gillette razor adverts over the years, and how adding an extra razor is groundbreaking technology.
Personally speaking, I didn’t imagine we’d see so many good decisions coming from GW over the last 6 months.

Looks good. I was only the other day looking through some of my old WD (WD222 is still my favourite!). There was still a lot of ads back then, but there was always good exciting battle reports and great articles.
I’ve never had a subscription, but I might just get one! 🙂

I will try and post a better explanation later of what I consider to be the objective markers of “quality” with regards to miniatures. But I want to make sure I can word it well and also, I’d rather not post it from a mobile device

I did qualify, several times, or rather I qualified why I thought GW represent a Gold Standard in miniatures companies; because they represent high standards in many different areas whereas most other companies only represent a high standard within a single narrow definition. Eg Scibor make fantastic, what you might call high-end miniatures,…[Read more]

Looking a the cover, I can see they’ve used the same schmaltzy writers that send ads to my inbox every weekend. Pity. Looks good otherwise.

Brother Vinni have stepped back to the world of Fantasy with their latest release where you get another character for your Arabia force. Here we have the Arabic Captain on Flying Carpet . The detail on the character is actually top notch, and when Brother Vinni put their mind to something great they can make some fantastic models. […] -

I’m not trying to antagonise or provoke – and I do yield to the general use of the term “quality”… however… …you did need to qualify in what respects company A’s miniatures are “better quality” than company B’s – sculpt, finish, poseability etc. … …and it was your selection of those particular measures of standard […]

Personally i dont mind the weekly format (but then again i get it for free in exchange for IT work done at local model shop), with the sprues and glue and paint splatter features being of a decent quality, although a return to the WD of old will be a welcome return 🙂 As for […]

Well this is good news as it does seem like another sign that GW are trying to undo some of their terrible decisions.
Probably too late to get me interested just off an announcement but if it gets good reviews i might get a copy and see how it is.

I really don’t think people are using the word quality subjectively. It has two different meanings but I don’t think there’s any confusion as to which definition we mean. When someone refers to “quantity vs quality” we all understand what that particular idiom means. It means what is the impact of increasing the volume of […]

Seeing as the best selling issues since it went weekly (according to my very non scientific straw poll of left over copies at the model shop i help out at) were the following: #1) The AoS launch issue with a free sigmarine on it #2) The painting issue with the useful wall chart (when they […]
