In seriousness, cults3d.com is a good site for finding models that GW has removed from other sites.

GW’s legal teams put out a lot of bogus Takedown Requests. Most sites just comply, but Cults actually pushes back. (Of course, they still comply with the valid ones, which is fair enough).

Nice try, Games Workshop Legal Man.

if they don’t have some already, 100% on the Brio train set - except not Brio. The generic wooden railway sets are just as good nowadays, and many many times cheaper.

You can buy a whole dinosaur themed wooden railway set on Amazon for £37. I’d want that, even as an adult!

FWIW, both of my kids played with their wooden railway for years - seriously good investment.

I read that book about 30 years ago! I didn’t remember the eye-scanning gargoyle, but for some reason I still remember the phrase “Ultima Ratio Regum” from the nuclear powered gun.

The poor old White Scars were put out of reach for me by GWs old Tip-Ex-like white paint. Despite what the guides might have said, there is no way that the models were base-coated with the Skull White of the time.

I don’t think the word needs to imply a creator necessarily.

“Clouds are created when water vapour in the air condenses”.

“Black holes are created when giant stars collapse”.

I’ll concede that going on to question political motive implies a creator, though.

I assume you’re talking about the Unifying feature.

I’ve got no direct experience, but there are a few people who say that despite Firefox not being listed as supported, it works fine.

As for the spying, I can see how that could be a concern, but I don’t think it’s too likely.

For convenience, I’m guessing they’re using a web interface to the settings in the same way that your router does. They’ve made a Chrome plugin, so that’s probably the route they want you to take because they know it works.

Logitech is a global brand, an they’d get into a lot of trouble in a lot of countries if they were gathering keypress data etc.

Advanced Heroquest!

This was my first Games Workshop game (outside of the Milton Bradley co-productions, of course).

Fell in love with the Skaven then, still love them now.

I wish I had your confidence that capitalism can be tweaked into a fair system.

I honestly think the logical end point to capitalism is self-destructive extreme wealth disparity.
