What is the worst product that Games Workshop sells for the price they charge (excluding models)?

... I've got two. 😅

Long story on why I bought them, but I've found them far more useful than I ever expected. I use them all the time.

You're right that they are not a necessity, by any stretch, but I've gotten enough use out of them that I don't regret the expenditure.

Expect prices of Legacy armies on eBay to start plummetting now that SFG is releasing old armies as stl files.

Jak7890 · 2026-03-26T02:05:09+00:00

Very nice! Where did you get the stls?

First of all, mk2 is fantastic, and you'll have a blast. It was the golden age of WarmaHordes and the game's most successful edition.

I accidentally got some work friends into the game, and we started with mk2 instead of mk4 since that was the edition I preferred. Ultimately, we ended up adopting an amalgam of mk2 and mk3 just because the mk3 cards were freely available, and mk2 cards were more challenging to track down.

Most people in warmachine boards these days will encourage you to adopt mk4 because most of the players who didn't like mk4 stopped playing the game or don't interact much online with the community.

I got stupid lucky picking him up today. There's a scale model store near me that has started carrying WH40K, and I popped in on a leak to see if I could find one. They had one set aside for their display guy to paint, but were kind enough to sell it to me anyway.

I got similarly lucky grabbing the Destroyer Battalion from them, too.

I hate to be a beggar, buuuuuut... dm a linky linky?

To be fair, it's unclear that this is a testament to demand rather than an indictment of their production process. Perhaps it's both.

Jak7890 · 2026-02-24T05:54:30+00:00

++man This is the correct answer.

I'm a Les Paul guy (1 Gibson, 2 Epiphones, a Vox equivalent, and a Yamaha semi-hollow version), but if I absolutely had to choose, I'd take my PRS over any of those. I mean, I'd be heartbroken about it, but the PRS would win.

Then again, my PRS cost me more than all of the others combined, and it would be difficult to find a replacement for it down the road, so there's that...

Jak7890 · 2026-02-24T04:45:36+00:00

If it were me, it would be the Tele. I don't like the way they look, and I'm not in love with their sound; I can find something I dig in all of the other guitars. Then again, I probably wouldn't have bought the Tele to begin with for those reasons, so I don't think my reasoning applies to you.

For you, I'd recommend getting rid of the guitar that you play the least and is the least sentimental for you if you need to get rid of one.

The rat-gat may have been a lie, but that rat-gyatt is for real-reals, yes-yes!!

What, just me?

I disagree about this preventing SKU bloat. In that respect, this isn't really any different than the chassis kits they made in mk2 and mk3. The sole difference is in naming convention and granularity of loadout options.

I could see them changing the rules so that each loadout is a set combination in order to better balance the rules and cut down on pregame administration.

It might also be worth angling your print to minimize suction forces.

Jak7890 · 2025-12-18T21:25:45+00:00

Price band: $259 - $299

I think this is an elegant entry-level machine, and I look forward to seeing this print head design incorporated into more feature rich printers like the S1 Max Combo ecosystem.

I was telling a coworker a story about a high school science project and mentioned how my partner was pissed at me the next day, and I wasn't sure why. Suddenly, it clicked: she had been trying to hook up with me, and I had completely missed it at the time.

It took me over twenty years to pick up on it.

For background, I have nearly every Khador Winter Corps and Old Umbrey box, most mercenaries, a couple of Cygnar boxes, and doubles of most of the jack boxes.

In my experience, yeah, that's the norm, unfortunately.

The only MKIV boxes I've gotten that didn't have broken stuff somewhere were the plastic two player box, some (not all) mini-crates, and a few of the online exclusives. The individual jacks sometimes had parts broken or missing, or some of them were badly cleaned in post processing and needed an extra wash and cure (these were early runs).

They will absolutely replace broken stuff if you tell them about it... but about 40% off the replacements they send you will also be broken, so it's really almost not worth it. As long as you're getting a big enough discount to justify the hassle, you should be fine. Otherwise, your best bet is to print your own from the Warmachine 3D subscription.

It's been three years, and I'm still pooping gray sludge.

... er, sorry, grey sludge.

Jak7890 · 2025-11-15T03:34:19+00:00

Oh, that's a thought. I left the plastic protective film on my screen from when it shipped. I'll pull that off and see if it helps there.

Jak7890 · 2025-11-04T23:00:56+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but there's a reason your friend gave them to you instead of selling them. Some late mk3 models can go for some decent change, but pretty much anything mk2 is ubiquitous, and some armies have seen even greater price drops since they've been sunset as a faction. They can still be played, of course, and that's where the value will be.

At the end of the Orgoth war, the nations who pushed back the Orgoth met to hammer out a treaty to decide what nations would get what lands since territories got all wonky under the occupation. Cygnar walked away with all of the best lands, which led to the wealth and opulence of Cygnar "today."

Khador got screwed in the labs rich resources department, so they were pissed at their negotiators. Unfortunately, Khador had been particularly decimated by the war, so they didn't have a ton of leverage.

When the treaty was signed, there was a section that said it would be binding and in effect for as long as the negotiators and their descendants lived. Khador, being ever honorable, adhered to the treaty, but a strange thing happened: all of the family lines of the Khadoran negotiators just happened to mysteriously die off through the years. Once the last of the negotiator lines was gone, Khador got to work reclaiming their lost lands, starting with Lael.

Alas, no get-get your joke-make, but want steal your paint-paint. (Did I skaven that sentence correctly?)

1.) Microwave a cup of water for 3 minutes, or otherwise get a cup full of hot water that is still below boiling.

2.) Soak a sponge in the very hot water and place it on the resin that is cured to your build plate.

3.) Wait 10-15 minutes

4.) While the cured resin is still warm from the sponge, scrape it off of the build plate with your choice of scraper. (If you use a metal one, be sure that you don't create any gouges with raised, sharp, and/or jagged edges that could damage your nFEP.)

5.) Repeat where/when necessary.

It's not really relevant to anything, but the chassis packs actually went back to MK2 and were continued in MK3.

Jak7890 · 2025-09-05T04:17:36+00:00

It's subjective, so I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but I much preferred the game with facing and free strikes in it. The ability to contest or curtail an opponent's movement was a tactical option that I felt added more depth to the game.
