Today – January 16th, 2014 – was a black day in Nottingham. Games Workshop released their half-year financial report, listing their performance as a business for the six months leading up to December 1st, 2013. Across the world, sales, revenues and profits have plummeted – at about 12% on average. Stock Markets immediately punished the […]
At the risk of stirring up (again) the proverbial hornet’s nest, I felt the need to share these two recent pictures from Apple (or rather, from Chitika) on the use of the iPad vs. alternative devices. Why? Simply because it is a discussion that keeps coming up in talking about Games Workshop’s bias for Apple’s […]
If you are a (more or less) regular visitor to my blog, and you’ve been here over in the last week, you may have noticed that I have been a bit … restrained … in blogging about the latest rumours and upcoming releases. The interwebs have been hot on Warhammer Dark Elves, Sentinels of Terra, […]

Presumably, it will not affect anyone ordering directly from GW. Shame be he who thinks evil of it! #1 – United Kingdom – […]
Here is an interesting new kickstarter-campaign. I do smell the potential for controversy here. KR-Multicase, a manufacturer of backpacks and carry-cases designed specifically for miniatures wargaming, is now on Kickstarter with a pitch to develop a free app (for the iPhone initially). #1 – What App? Well, the app is supposed to do a bunch […]
Games Workshop has always been a divisive company, even more so for those independent retailers that build a part of their livelihood on selling Games Workshop products in their stores.
