:shock: They can't be serious!
Charging 60 p (1Euro!) for a lump of plastic?
Or are they even more impudent and it's nature own?
Can't wait for the lightning to strike their HQ.
Thanks, I'm staying with nature, cheaper and more diverse in shape and size.

Don't forget about the "Little knobbly bitz".

Hmm, so tempted to buy a heap load of them and have a table were every single rock looks exactly the same. It would so mess with your opponents head...

You would also need rules for all the things that lurk under rocks!

I thought I'd seen it all when they started charging $10 for a tape measure. Now it's a buck or more for a frickin' ROCK? I bet it ain't even made out of rock.

Is the Rock compatible with 7th Edition? Or will we have to buy a revised Rock come Christmas? Or do we get a free 7th Edition Rock if we buy the current 6th Edition Rock before September?

GW had access to some kind of rock when they thought this one up, and I don't mean chalk...

Any road, I'm looking forward to the inevitable release of the "Sod of Turf" mini that will herald the long awaited "Warhammer Armies: Grass Monsters". I hear rumour that Rocks can be taken as allies.

Why would it be? Thats just silly. A rock made out of rock. I have heard it all now! White Metal is so the new Rock...

@Ant: I managed to get some inside info on this heavy new project. They worship a God called "Bloody Huge Rock". Source Material:

Mysterious Eh...

Also, another god, the rock equivalent of Slaanesh. Sexy Rock:

I can't wait for the army book. If that models anything to go by the whole army is going to ROCK!

I'll get back to your if I get any more info...

Hmmm, well it seems cool, but the army seems too hard, and not fluffy enough. Still, the models rock, and I'm definitely getting some of the character models and the rock guardians, just 'cos they look cool!

Think it this way.. In real life, thousands of humans and animals have died because of rocks. You can throw a rock at someone and he might die. There are avalanches etc. Rocks are therefore dangerous! But in real life, there are no such things as Dark elves or Orcs and Goblins, so they can't kill anyone unless you're a) insane or b) you have a really good imagination. Of course there are miniature elves etc. but no such creatures breathing and having blood in their veins. So, rocks are dangerous in real world so they must be über-dangerous in warhammer world. That's why I wouldn't make any jokes about rocks. Maybe I'll start collecting them and make an unbeatable army..

Hard ROCK Hallelujah! as Lordi would say! lol! :lol:
