I'm not a fan of GW however. They have taken their customers for granted and have done some pretty bad codex creep.

I was happy in the early 2000s when they shut themselves out of the convention circuit and other mini war games were able to establish like Privateer Press.

For awhile heir business model has been much better being customer focused to make a profit instead of trying to squeeze every bit of cash out of you.

But I'm starting to see this end, they're going back to their old ways.

I buy most of my stuff indirect or used. Always at a discount.
