Games Workshop has dropped a bomb.

The bomb in question isn't anything awesome like a Deathstrike Missile or Cyclonic Exterminatus warhead, but rather the new 'terms of service' for it's resellers in the UK.
Most notable victims of this particular bomb are Wayland Games and Maelstrom Games both are massive online stores that serve a huge portion of the globe.

They have managed to get so many loyal customers by supplying the goods we want and supplying them at reasonable prices.
As a comparison, I scored a Space Marine Attack Bike via Wayland games for £12.40 which translates to NZ$25.89
The same product for sale here in NZ from Games Workshop's own store costs NZ$48.00

It's not an isolated incident for 1 particular product either.
Such discounts apply across their whole range!
At one point I purchased a massive box set of miniatures that in NZ would have cost me NZ$330, but I got it from the UK for NZ$240 - Including shipping!

Such douchebaggery has been met by the international gaming community with almost universal condemnation, outrage and the sounds of mobs with pitchforks and torches.

Personally I am starting to look into establishing a legal workaround that may make me a little money on the side and will re-establish the much desired trade link that we've all been enjoying for so long.
Ultimately I will stick it to GW one way or other...
My workaround will work and everyone gets what they wanted (Except GW) or I will discontinue to have anything to do with GW at all (as will so many other people) and once again GW loses.

I personally hope they realize just how stupid this idea is and pull their heads out of their arseholes.

I'm going to re-do this sooner or later.

Until then it's going to look boring and stuff

Dood. How have I not seen any of your stuff here before?! Mad skillz bro. Keep up the great work! =D

I ran screaming out of adolescence, and when I hit the border somebody gave me the legal right to drink–it’s all just finely tuned memory loss since then.

Cheers mate :)

It's been a little while since I submitted anything so that could account for the lack of finding me earlier.
I paint fairly slowly unless I'm under commission so updates tend to be somewhat infrequent :)

Don't know who you are, but since you're a friend of ~Goofycabal you must be cool!

Hiya!
I think I 'met' Goofy like... a bazillion years ago sometime.
I do know it was on an Orc & Goblin forum and he was just about to start The Truth About Corey Strode comics.
I don't think he's called them by name for quite a while though ^_^

I say 'met' because naturally I've not actually met him in person. Something to do with my living in the biggest dump of a city this country has to offer :P

In any case, nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy the various works I churn out :)

Ahh neat! Is it the one that he is the moderator of?
Awww well, nice to meet you too!
Are you going to any of the Armageddons this year?
Reply
:icondjhg:
I've no idea if he's a mod there or not ^_^
I've not dropped by there in a looooong time.

As for the Armageddons... I have not been to one since 2002 I think.
I started to notice that I was creeping closer and closer to the point of possibly being older than 90% of the attendees.
Considering my 30th birthday is in just under 2 weeks that makes me a seriously old fart.

If I was to go to Armageddon now I'd be waving my walking stick and telling kids to get off my lawn :P

How could I not? ^_^
Your photo's are simply gorgeous and you get to work with some amazing photographers :)

I've seen some of your pictures before (used to be a car nerd :P) so I was really surprised to find you had a DeviantART page.

Thank you for taking the time to drop by and post on my page too, I can only imagine how busy you are...
