Gw Specialist games are gone,is this true?
The new one is that GW finally pulled the plug on the Specialist games line.Does anyone know of this or has a bit more info. Because if they did big win for the aftermarket boys. Also better stock up.
If this is true then i could understand it with the release of the black box game.
Also they used to do this with the games back in the good old days.rotate them on a three cycle i belive.

Re: Gw Specialist games are gone,is this true?
The Specialist Games section is still on their website and you can still buy things there..... So what do you mean by gone?

Rumour I just saw on Twitter (from someone who I can imagine having contacts at GW) says that they won't be making any more SG stuff. It's all going OOP.

Makes sense. I'm surprised they kept it this long.
I gess when they do release a new BB box then they'll be done with that as well.
Make sure you have a backup of the CRP guys, there's no guarantee that a new box will contain rules we want to play.

Re: Gw Specialist games are gone,is this true?
As some say, be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Sure it will make "happy" all those loving a new box and the new players it will attract if all other products are gone and BB goes even more unsupported than currently.JT-Y wrote:I gess when they do release a new BB box then they'll be done with that as well.

Something that cost $5 25 years ago would cost $10.25 now, not taking into account any above-inflation increase in the cost of pewter over the period. I'm not excusing GW's pricing by any stretch, but perhaps a little context might be instructive
What I personally find beyond the pale is that I can buy a figure from the UK store for NZ$15 after conversion, or the same figure from GW's NZ store for closer to NZ$25. Just to be clear, that's an 80% tax I'm expected to pay for LITERALLY NOTHING. It's the same in Australia... well, screw you Greedy W*nkers, you'll not get another penny from me.
