Ok, the local GW store had one of these sitting on the counter and now I'm swimming in conversion ideas Xtreme - Feb 10, 2004 - 01:24 PM Post subject:
I placed an advance order for one but haven't recived it yet. I was hoping to get it for the ride to the canadian open.Melifaxis - Feb 10, 2004 - 01:46 PM Post subject:
I should probably mention that it is not complete. The Blood Bowl section only contains Blood Bowl stuff that you can still order from GW. I would imagine the other sections are the same. It's still pretty damn impressive and I'll be picking one up.
I think hard cover is $40 and paperback is $30. Oh yeah, and they have the Ardboyz shoulder pads and Ardboyz jaws reversed, so there's at least one error Xtreme - Feb 10, 2004 - 02:33 PM Post subject:
Did you happen to notice the newest models in it? Was the Ogre Cheerleader and new Mino in it?Melifaxis - Feb 10, 2004 - 03:46 PM Post subject:
I don't believe they made the cut, but I could be wrong. Only had it in my hands for a quick leaf through.Tim - Feb 11, 2004 - 02:59 AM Post subject:
That looks great ... is that availiable from GW UK as well?Old_Man_Monkey - Feb 11, 2004 - 03:13 AM Post subject:
If not, Tim, should I hold off on shipping your first two figs...?!?! Melifaxis - Feb 11, 2004 - 08:17 AM Post subject:
I would imagine it would be available in the UK, but I don't see it on the front page of their online store and a search revealed nothing...Grasshopper - Feb 11, 2004 - 08:33 AM Post subject:
I still think it's crap...
$30 for a catalog that's gonna be out of date in 6 months anyway? $30!
Hey buy a book that shows the rest of our stuff that we want you to buy ! Oh and to hide the fact that we're ripping you off, we're gonna put in some painting/modeling tips from the other books we want you to buy so that you'll buy them too.

How is providing a reference of bits ripping someone off?Grasshopper - Feb 11, 2004 - 09:56 AM Post subject:
It's not, Charging $30 for it is. Call me granpa, but I remember back in teh day (I think maybe even last year) when the cat's were free or at the most 1 or 2 bucks. And the pics of the minis were "full color" too, they were in black and white. Last time I checked no mini's ever came painted and metal & plastic show up fine in monotone. If all you need is a reference for products then this is a rip, because you're paying for a Painting/Modelling guide that you may not want or need because it's been fused with the product catalog.AnthonyTBBF - Feb 11, 2004 - 10:27 AM Post subject:
Have you seen the size of this thing? I doubt the modelling part of it is so huge that it would make a difference in price if you left it out.Grasshopper - Feb 11, 2004 - 10:56 AM Post subject:
Yeah, I've seen it at the shop next door. And if it wasn't such a big deal it'd be in B&W & on newsprint, instead of printed like an issue of White Dwarf on glossy sheet and offered in a collectors Harcover edition. It's pretty much a Heavy Metal Showcase book combined with the catalog. I'd rather spend the $$$ on some actual figs.Rash - Feb 15, 2004 - 01:24 AM Post subject:
It is a sweet book. My only lament is that the "Collectors" sections, i.e. the "old" minis, didn't get extended to Blood Bowl. I'd like a few more 2nd ed. Skaven to round my team out. Unfortunately, it's a no go. Colin - Feb 15, 2004 - 08:23 AM Post subject:
GW doesn't produce the 2ed BB minis anymore (other than the starplayers), so no surprise they're not in the cataloge.Traveller - Feb 15, 2004 - 11:30 AM Post subject:

I'm really chuffed - my friend in Minnesota (Brrr....) has bought me the Catalog and it's already winging it's way over the big wet to the UK.
What a guy - the postage must have cost his an arm and a leg
