I wonder how long before people find out about Sartosa and the Bitz :D
Thus will it come to pass.
The dying leader will know
the truth of the opera house.
The missing three will give you the five
who have come from the home of the 13th.
You are the harbinger of death, kara thrace.
You will lead them all to their end.

Choose USA

Katash what do you mean?


In the warhammer section choose either the Bitz or Collectors menu and you'll see what I mean :D

It's not just you. All the sites look the same save U.S.A' one but the U.S.A site is now harder to navigate, IMO.

I am bit disappointed as now, it is massive marketing ploy. Every page you open has something with a price tag. Where are the great articles, army lists, and news articles?

Yeah the tactica articles seem to have disappeared or I'm just not finding them b/c the site is insanely hard to navigate without purchasing something accidentally. The articles and army list ideas dont' even seem to exist. It looks pretty and all but so does the eavy metal teams painting. i can look at that if i want to be awestruck.

Just but how useful were those articles really.

"BUY THE GIANT ITS DA BEST!"

Not to mention those army lists we just wasted space imo. Horrendous even for a beginner list. Better to give the books to monkey's and see what they can come up with.

Ya, I'm a little bitter.

I just took a cursory glance over the USA site (not that I use it much living in the UK). But looking through the warhammer section I notised that in the articles there are not only no tactcas to be seen but there is not even a section for background articles.

Some time soon GW has to come to its senses, rehire a decent WD editor, realise that some people in their hobey dont only want to pain things and that they are selling a great chunk of their apeal down the river.
Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

I like how the hag from the COB is now 12 dollars as a "Hag Queen".
Always look for the knife from the shadows.

Wait a minute, how do you hide a +2 flaming longsword in the shadows?

Takes too long to load, price tags everywhere you look and a lack of fluff.

I'm just glad I live in the U.K. and will never have to look at it again.

I am not sure I like the set-up, but I will learn how to use it about the time they change it back. I am sure they will change the other countries sites when they think of a more annoying way to set up a site.

I'm sure they'll have plenty of ideas already in motion on how to annoy their customers. And if you think they'll stop at make their site into a maze, how wrong you are. :P

Oh, 5th edition Druchii dragon its there! It may look better then ugly Malekith mini.

*reads description then starts laughing*

When Rakarth was just a child his father was attempting to break and train the mighty Black Dragon Bracchus. However, the Dragon was more than a match for even his father's considerable skills and in a fit of rage the Dark Elf Beastmaster ordered the Dragon to be slain. Rakarth made a deal with his father to allow him to keep the monstrous beast if he could ride it, and his father agreed. Rakarth fixed the Dragon with his piercing stare, and there was something in the young Dark Elf that the Dragon recognised.


Looks like they were typing descriptions in haste, without checking them out - Dragon Bracchus was named after fierce horse that Rakarth tamed as child. That's how legends are born :D .
We must destroy them. We must incinerate them. Village after village, army after army, dragon after dragon...

They teach our soldiers to decapitate slaves, but will not allow them to fight in three ranks because this is not cruel enough!
