You may wonder why i hate gw to the fullest extent now. Well, i went to the gw in orland and was looking for something as simple as a special weapons 2 pack for sisters with a melta gun and flamer. THAT'S IT! so the worker is being a douche and was like we have heavy weapons here blah blah blah. im like no just meltagun/flamer pack. he's like theres's a "last chance" wall for those bc we're running out of room bc of the new stuff coming in. WTF!!!!! why have a store be so small that when new stuff comes out, oops we have to take down that whole wall and put everything on special order. oh ya im not even guaranteed the meltagun/flamer combo bc the caption says on gw's website 2 random special weapons. wow i guess im never going to get the damn sisters ever bc im not going to just keep buying them until i get the ones i want. fuck you gw in the ass with a rusty chainsaw. if you were smart business entrepreneurs, wow you would make some of your stores big enough to hold MINIATURES of all things. it's like a goddamn oxymoron. oh we ran out of space for our miniatures. you're lucky that you have a monopoly on the damn miniature gaming industry.

They say random because they have it like that for all races and blisters. There's only one version of melta and flamer though, so you're assured one of each in every pack. Don't worry.
Yea, some employee's are cockbites. The ones up here in Gurnee are awesome, except the new guy, but that's cause he doesn't know what's going on yet.
Take a chill pill. Suck a boob. Whatever makes you feel better, lol.

just pisses me off that they keep taking down stuff in stores for new stuff so they can make a profit off shipping sales. they're douches. make bigger stores. not that hard.
girls are useless by the way too. god forbid there's actually a "normal" one out there.

Hey, while your pissed off, GW just raised a bunch of their prices again!!! Yeah!!! Fuck me harder, GW!!!
They are acting like this isn't a price hike, and if you download their new PDF for price listing (which is very deliberately organized to be confusing and paint them in a positive light) you will see that. They point out that they have lowered their prices on several of their Army boxes from $120 to $90. What they fail to mention is these army boxes are almost, if not entirely, PLASTIC. Have you ever been to a dollar store? If the Chinese can make 25 army men and sell them for a dollar, how much do you think one of those battalion boxes costs to make? It is not like GW has very high marketing costs or other legitimate overhead. $90 plastic, unassembled, unpainted toys = fucked in the ass by the cheeky brits.
GW will also point out that they have lowered prices on a variety of blister packs. These blister packs include such popular items as Blood Bowl characters and BFG ships. You know, the real money makers.
If you scroll down the listing a bit, you will see that the popular blisters, like space marines and pretty much everything actually carried at GW retail stores, have risen in price once again. Thanks nor the hot shot of cum in the ass GW! Oh, no need for a reach around, I'll be fine.
In short, fuck the capitalist pigs at GW. Their loyalty to their customers is rivaled only by the tolerability of their sales staff in what is more offensive. They will tell you, "Hey, any hobby costs money." The sad fact is, other hobbies are not populated almost exclusively by tweens and social rejects. Maybe it is time we moved on to big boy gaming. There is a world of intelligent miniatures wargaming systems out there. I challenge each of you to try one out this summer. Go to Games Plus in Mount Prospect, or Gen Con (you can ride with me), and discover how much cooler other systems are than GW's.
You may have noticed that the original designers of Warhammer and 40K have moved on to creating "Warhammer Historical" and other excellent systems, and have effectively abandoned ship. We should follow suit. Who is with me?

I'll jump ship - I just like the modeling aspect more than anything else. The game is just gravy.

ill definitely try new systems, but that's how gw has a ball grip on our lives. we've spent so much time, money, and effort into building the figures, painting them, honing a style for the army, accessories. almost like a personal expression. you can't just be like im done bye. BUT you can just stop buying their shit or just go on ebay and buy hordes for cheap like me. id like to try that pirates game. and a few others sounded really cool like that western game that these guys were playing behind me, mike, and two of his friends at the dungeon. other systems look cool too.

Don't get me wrong, there are alot of really bad systems out there... There are just alot that are better than GW. When you boil it right down, GW's systems are pretty much garbage. How many times have you had downright stupid shit happen in a game due to a technicality? With me, it is just about every game. We have to remember that GW systems are stripped down so 8 year olds can pick them up. There are a million more 'mature' miniature gaming systems, including somewhat generic ones that could be adapted to fascilitate GW armies. Just a thought.

i dont even know one game i had with you that there wasnt a technicality. that was the start of the drama in my life haha. that would be cool to still use the minis for a different ruleset. there are a ton of holes in the warhammer rules without a doubt.
oh ya i went on the "bits" order gw website, no they're even more expensive individually then if i bought the special weapons in the blister. not spending 10 bucks a special weapon. that's bullshit.
