Reply To: GW Once Again Taking a Giant Dump on Retailers

I first encountered Citadel miniatures – multi-part metal medieval guys, obviously inspired by Monty Python – in the late 1970s/early 80s and they were pretty much the most expensive back then, even more so than Ral Partha or Grenadier, which I preferred. My first GW games – which I still have – were Valley of the Four Winds and Warlock, got into 2nd edition Blood Bowl in the early 90s, 5th edition Warhammer  and 3rd edition 40K in the late 90s.

Never subscribed to to the GW rule that only Citadel minis could be used for their games – went to an official GW store precisely once – and haven’t really liked very much they have produced since Battlefleet Gothic in 2000.

They started to completely price me out of their part of the hobby around ’06 or so and this has not improved. HOW MUCH for 1 plastic guy ???!!!???

I concur with all those who have said to take your gaming and your money elsewhere. Might also want to look into what Nomad Investments are all about, who bought the lion share of GW stock sometime in the mid-00s. Gamers or lore are no longer a priority.
