BREAKING NEWS: Games Worshop refunds your old codex!

Image taken from Warhammer Community




In a massively good move, Games Workshop is going to refund the cost of any codex you bought in the last two months.


As long as you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, GW will send you a voucher for the cost of any codex bought in the last 8 weeks. This is usually done for about 4 weeks, but they have double it for 8th Edition.


I'm just going to quote word for word from the Warhammer Community web site:



"You can claim a voucher no matter where you bought your codex and/or rulebook, as long as you have your proof of purchase and it’s dated between the 25th of February 2017 and the 22nd of April 2017."
- Warhammer Community, 25th April 2017
So it looks like you can even get a refund for books you've bought off of third party suppliers!


The wording suggests you may be able to get a refund for other books as well, such as the Gathering Storm books. As I still have my receipt to get reimbursed from the school for Gathering Storm 2, I'll attempt to get a voucher for that, and let you know how it goes.

What does this mean?


Well, Games Workshop have appeared to have learned from the mistakes of Age of Sigmar. Rather than a super exciting send off for the old edition, such as they did with the End Times for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, they've concentrated on hyping up the next edition, and making you as excited for it as possible.


This is all indicative of a way more slick and professional marketing team that GW has put together since last year. They're presenting a very strong case for the next edition, and despite murmurings of Sigmarification, the new design focus looks positive.


I also really wish I had bought the Traitor Legion book last weekend as well...


Until next time!
Thanks for reading.

    They will not refund the Gathering Storm books, this is the reply I have gotten today :

    "Hi Nick,

    I am really sorry, but The Gathering Storm books are not part of the voucher offer, this is because they are 90% narrative which is still awesome and hopefully you will continue to enjoy going forwards.
    Sorry for any disappointment caused.

    Kind regards,



    How would you rate my reply?

    I find this a very weak excuse (because you needed to buy the Gathering Storm books if you wanted to use Guilliman in your games and GW knows prefectly well that the books that sold the most the 8 weeks prior before the 8th edition announcement were the Gathering Storm books. Total ripoff !

      I was worried that would be the case. I doubt they would have planned on selling these things if they knew they were going to refund them in the next month or so.

      Thanks for finding out for us, and I'll pop out a quick post about it tomorrow.

Primaris Space Marine Paint Planner

The good chaps over at Games Workshop marketing have just released a bit of fluff on the Ultima Founding, the latest crop of Space Marine chapters. These are all based around the Primaris Space Marines, so expect your current Marines to fade away. Again, not a bad thing, as it's just a shift to True Scale Space Marines that still lets you play with your old stuff whilst you transition. To help you buy their new models, Games Workshop have also given you a nifty line drawing of a Primaris Space Marine, so you can plan your new Chapter. Now I'm certain they didn't intend to add all those little gaps in the lines making it hard for you to use simple drawing editors to plan your marines on computer, nor did they realise how difficult it would be to do so on .pdf format. So I fixed it for them. Here's the same thing with the gaps filled in, and in easy to edit .jpeg format. Don't worry Gee Dubs... Tabletop Teacher's got your back! UPDATE: The .jpeg was...

The Complete Blood Angels Beginner Guide: Troops

Love them or hate them, you're not building an effective army without them. Your rank and file are the soul and centre of your army, and as such, these will be the only one's I will discuss in detail in the Beginner Guide... otherwise we'll be here until The End Times. At the end of the discussion, I will give you my opinion as to which Troop unit to try first. It should also be said, that if you don't like a faction's Troop options, you probably shouldn't collect that faction. You will have more of these units than anything else in a balanced force, so you will need to be happy seeing them all the time. Image from Warhammer Community I've bought the codex, and have done some hefty reading. The Blood Angels have three options available to them for Troops; Tactical Squads, Intercessor Squads and Scout squads. Many have preferences for each one, but there is no dud unit to be had here. They may not be as exciting as other factions, but each is very...

Painting Guide: Blood Angels, perfecting the colour scheme

Image
Looking for some tips on getting the best out of your Sons of Sanguinius? Want some simple ways of making your Blood Angels look good without having to get an art diploma first? Well let's get started then, and show you how to paint this Blood Angels Intercessor Space Marine. Blood Angels were one of my first armies in 40K, and a favourite of many a neophyte and veteran alike. Their red colour scheme, along with Dark Angels Green and Ultramarines Blue, is one of the standard newbie palettes that can look good with only a little bit of skill. Like the others in that little triumvirate, it still has ways you can tweak it to be really great looking on table top. What I've done here is nothing more than the standard Games Workshop recommended paint scheme, with some tweaks and tips to get to that 'eavy metal stage. I often see people copying what comes out of the Citadel Paint App or Duncan's videos, and never quite getting these results (usually darker withou...
