GW are putting ,any of their prices up from the 28th of May. To try and ease the pain of this we are offering 20% off all GW products.
However the price increase isn't all bad news as GW are releasing something called Citadel Finecast. Sounds like some kind of plastic/resin mix is going to replace the metal in the range, starting with everything available from direct only. Here's the list of everything being released in the first wave and links to the sites:
'Starting from the 28th of May 120 products that were Games Workshop direct only items will be coming back on the shelves as resin or resin Hybrids. This new range “Citadel Fine Cast” range will be limited in number for the first few months, so we will be taking advance orders for them.
