warhammer, wh40k, flames of war, bolt action, aeronautica imperialis, star wars, models, news, views and stuff
Here is a picture of some more Warhammer stuff which is from the Games Workshop archive and was on display at GamesDay 2006.
There are some things here which I remember buying when released such as the plastic Warhammer boxed set of Fantasy Warriors.
These are the three-ups that were used to create the Citadel Bretonnians from ten years ago.
Things have improved since then, but I still think the quality back then was still pretty good. True though you had limited poses and therefore a lot of uniformity (something which works for WHFB but less so for WH40K).
Compared to the first plastics that Citadel did (a long time ago) these are fantastic.
With the new 3D scanning and laser technology Citadel are now using, it will be interesting to see where they go now!
Older Warhammer Miniatures from the displays at GamesDay 2006…
Here are some older Warhammer miniatures including some three-ups.
They were on display at GamesDay 2006.
“It’s a mean looking beast. I think it looks like the alien,” remarks Chris Nelson of Bae Systems, as we walk round the front of the Royal Navy’s new Astute submarine in Barrow.

So early they are in fact in bags and are not blister packs…
When Citadel first started selling metal (okay lead) miniatures they used plastic bags and card labels, as seen here at GamesDay 2006.
In the background are some Warhammer supplements, notably Warhammer Armies.
According to Dakka Dakka Games Workshop will release sometime this year, probably for the Apocalypse expansion a new Ork Mek with Supershoota.
Sounds like a fun model, no pictures.
I quite like the way that GW sometimes release models even though they are not releasing a codex or army. Reminds me of GW from yesteryear.

Games Workshop to close 35 shops after second profit warning…
Games Workshop yesterday issued its second profit warning this year and said it would close 35 loss-making shops. The warning sent shares in the company crashing by 21% to 260p.
The company plans to reduce its workforce by more than 10%, about 250 people, in an effort to save £7m a year, and will not be paying a full-year dividend, using the savings to pay for the restructuring of the group.
Some of the early Warhammer supplements that were on show at GamesDay 2006. There are also some Warhammer blisters as well.
One nice thing about the supplements were that they were when first released usually hardback books.
