WH40K Orks wiz flamethrowers at a guess (i've been out of the WH40K Scene for a long while - 'cept for Dawn of War on PC that is.)

I've had a thoughly enjoyable day out to a farm with mini-collider & the missus and I've not quite drunk enough beer.

Had some good news so I'm thinking of celebrating by buying all the WST Dinobots in one fell swoop (bad pun alert!) either that or I'll be buying more music gear. Sadly I've got to sell off one of my Marshall Bass Speaker Cabs from my rig as there simply isn't room in my house for both.

Yep, dey is Orksies. Burnas are pretty cool. They either work as a flamer (dig teardrop shaped template that ignores cover saves) at range or a power weapon (negates normal armour saves) in melee, although you do have to decide which way you want to use them each turn as you can't use both types of attack at the same time. I've started a blog that will be mainly following the progress of my new Ork army, I'll link to it when there's a few more bits of pretty in there.

As I read you talking about burna's ans stuff I thought you guys were kinda drunk and started writing gibberish, but now I THINK I figured it out, you're talking about war Hammer, am I right?

Oh by the way I need some help.

Now at AA I acquired a G1 Prime bust, the original version, but I don't know what to do with it. It's still in it's box and sealed, I don't really seem to have the desire to keep it. But what shall I do shall I sell it or shall I keep it, is it any good?

With the release of the 5th Edition "Assault on Black Reach" boxed set for Warhammer 40000 I've started an Ork army. It's my first big wargaming project since my Warhammer Ogres a couple of years back. I'm keeping a blog on my (so far lack of) progress here:

As far as your Prime bust goes, um not sure. Give it to me maybe.

Red Leader over a TFW posted this:

Here is an interesting fact......................Animated is one of the worst performing Transformer lines since Beast Machines, I had the Hasbro rep round on friday and he was telling me that the problem is down to Hasbro themselves.

They delayed the line to push out movie stock which in turn caused them to build up a back log of Animated toys as they outsource production to 3rd parties in china, they are contractually obliged to pay the manufacturers regardless of the release dates and the manufacturers will churn out the product until they have met the units ordered by Hasbro, due to the build up of excess stock they have been desperate to offload Wave 1 - 3 and have sold the majority to Play.com and TRU, this has angered Woolworths and Argos so much they cut back their orders paving the way for more discounts in favour of Play.com so Hasbro can shift the stock, as for the independent sellers they / we cant even compete with Play which has caused some retailers to drop the animated line at Wave 2!!!!! Those guys really do my head in, I asked him what incentive there was for me to carry on doing business with them and not move back to China direct and he couldnt give me one. WAY TO GO HASBRO!!!! and they wonder why the UK economy is in the schtick!!

Serves 'em bloody right but guys remember!

*Braveheart style*
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' HASBRO!

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Hasbro UK has never given a goddamn about Transformers, at least in the last ten years. Remember all the stuff we've never seen? And that's without all the lovely exclusives we never get a sniff of. Of course, it's ultimately self-defeating on their part. They screw up more, we import more, so they bring in less because fewer people are buying it, so fewer kids buy the stuff because there's less there, so they bring in less... and round and down it goes.

....Like a Toilet...

The Habsro UK Merry-Go-Toilet...

It would also help if there was more bloody advertising. I'm sorry but half a shelf at the local store does not cut it. And sticking the show on Nicktoons? Who watches Nicktoons? The UK may as well have not had Animated at all.

And yes to the point on the movie garbage. They clung to that stuff so much and over saturated the market with it so badly... It's all just rather annoying.

News Credits: 5 · Sun Sep 28, 2008 3:39 pm

Hey, the advertising point isn't fair! I'm sure I've seen an advert for Movie toys.

Some time.

Think it was on Nicktoons.

****, Tekka's right.

Sun Sep 28, 2008 4:11 pm

Well for the Movie you don't need as many adverts. Because there's a movie

But Hasbro really need to try hard if they want to succeed in the toy industry #-o

Anyhoo, nice looking set, but I have half the molds already. :-(
