Ok -- I can understand the overhaul with the GW website. The new one appears to be a better focused on selling models. A bit easier to navigate, better presentation, etc. Overall I'd give it a B- on a grading scale.
BUT tell me where in the heck is the FAQ's for Rules/Codex updates?
I did download the FAQ's for IG and main rule book...
But now I wanted to go check out some things for Space Marines and I can't get to them anymore.
Way to go GW... One step forward and then fall on your face. Lack of quality and fore-thought by management seems to be sorely lacking at times with this company. (Of course I could probably say that about most companies anymore....)

its horrible.
far too much of the page doesn't fit on screen - too much content per page means people won't bother looking.
loss of summary pages such as 'view entire product range' on one page rather than over numerous tabs
and where is the stuff relevant to the games, the workshop bit relevant to the games.
i don't want to visit only to buy models, i want cool thematic information,stories, and fluffy rules for things like squig pens and ork 'drops'.
yet.. am i surprised?
no

Then you want what White Dwarf used to be, and is pretending to be now.

I almost thought the models were slightly cheaper on the new site if you order direct now but then I rubbed the sleepy dust out of my eyes.

Try using it on your phone, it's 4billion times better! Was unusable before. But they seem to have removed ALL specialist items

I actually like the new website. Looks a lot less cluttered than before.
The only real criticism I have is that it is so hard to find the "Whats New Today" blog, which was my main reason to actually visit the website (as it usually had teaser videos or pictures of various peoples nicely painted models).
The blog should be displayed prominently on the front page, as it is what tells you what new stuff is out and etc.

Didn't GW shut the social media pages down?
Although there are plenty of unofficial groups.
