Old games workshop articles

They're filled with threads that don't work, but you can catch snippets from GW employees occasionally. And they're there. You can use the WayBackMachine slider at the top to pick a different point in time.

There's proof for us new players that Ultramarines aren't just disliked because of the 5th Edition codex and an interview with C. S Goto. He's a member on that message board. He even replies to the topic. Isn't that weird to see? Sadly, you had to be registered to see a member's profile so I can't find a way of quickly looking up what anybody wrote. Also C. S Goto's website from his signature. He has an interesting interview about how much freedom Black Library authors have - although the positions might have changed since that was made.

Other areas on the website are hidden away too. Black Gobbo is there, as is the old Space Marine Painter. Edited by Zincite, 24 January - PM. Your wish is my command. Posted 25 January - AM. Nice find! It's a great tool certainly. Forums on there were great back in the day! Reply to quoted posts Clear. Sign In Register now! I've forgotten my password Forum Password. Remember me This is not recommended for shared computers. The replacement, Age of Sigmar, was built to be accessible to new players, with simpler rules.

It caused uproar among existing players who claimed the whole thing was dumbed down to the point of stupidity. But three years on, with most of the best changes incorporated into a new edition of Warhammer 40k, it is clear the rewrite paid off. Anita Widdowson, 20, a student in Nottingham, is one of those newer players. She started collecting the models about two years ago, but only got round to learning to play last year, and credits the new rules with bringing more players on.

The shops themselves have had a cosmetic overhaul some stores were rebranded to read simply Warhammer, as the chain tried to consolidate its image , but Games Workshop has also put a huge amount of effort into building a welcoming atmosphere. Widdowson agrees. For Gillen, the only shadow on the horizon is whether the company can maintain the pace it has been setting without letting anything slip.

As well as the core Warhammer games, it has been releasing spin-offs at a steady clip. But on that, Games Workshop had its own answer, in an FAQ it published before the launch of the latest edition of Warhammer 40, Providing, that is, my shelving is better installed in than it was in Photograph: PR.

The lands west of the Grey Mountains belong to the Kingdom of Bretonnia. Casual observers will be instantly drawn in by the impressive level of detail contained within but it is perhaps the heraldry that will excite fans most.

All the cities of old are there, but GW has revealed the Lords and coats of arm of their rulers for the first time. This attention to detail will surely draw players deeper into the Warhammer Fantasy world. Of course, the iconography used pays homage to the symbols used by the medieval nobility in historical heraldry, a nice touch that ties the historical ties of GW's homeland, the UK, and our European brothers and sisters that is often found in fantasy literature made famous by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

The more keen-eyed amongst you may already have noticed some emblems that break out from the mold of the traditional heraldic shield. Upon closer inspection we have what appears to be Wood Elves living in the centrally located Forest of Arden and Atheloren to the south-east of the Kingdom as well as some High Elf settlements along the coast to the west of Bretonnia.

To the north, however, there is bad news as it appears conflict is rife between some of the lords and orcish insurgents.
