Oh, please NO! I've never played with them or against them so it made even
less sense to me. I think I can do without.

That sounds about right. People outside the land of Oz have no idea how
badly we get screwed - a constant annoyance for me.

A probably also a load of shit. GW doing us a favour? Naaaaaahh....

That might work to our advantage. A lot of annoyed kiddies wanting to
offload stuff. hmmmm, there could be a good side to this after all.

Well, that's what's happened here in Newcastle. They still have GW stuff but
they dumped Epic ages ago and now there are more Warzone blisters than 40K.
The problem is that this is/was the only other GW stockist within 100km. A
long time ago, the shop used to split packs so you could just get bits that
you wanted (if only i played epic back then...) until GW got their legal
dogs onto them. At least you can get second-hand stuff if your lucky (stands
and transport for around half the Dark Angels chapter for about $80 cant be
all that bad)

I have mixed feelings, leaning towards total scepticism. You may have noticed...
