Looks like it would take up a lot of the playing area. That's sort of the thing. The most expensive ones would take up most of the table, and honestly, just having a big circular fort with minimal interior space seems like it would be more limiting to play than anything else. The less expensive kits look like they might actually be better as terrain pieces.

I think the bastion is best. But it needs to be half the price. (I guess it does have a lot of skulls though.)

These skulls are hand crafted by blind alpacas in a secret underground temple in the Peruvian highlands. Then they are lovingly, tenderly painted by an Austrian admiral using a single hair from the head of the Pope. Then they are shipped by submersible stage coach to Britain, where a man who wears special trousers for safety reasons installs them using glue made from unicorns. So you see, if anything, they're underpriced.

The AoS stuff if huge, though. It's totally upscaled; I saw this new Khorne beserker last week when I was buying Chaos Blck spray (made from evil unicorns) and it was easily twice the plastic mass of your average Empire dude, or something. @requiem - I got a free degree being among the lucky last generation to get govt. funded uni degrees. The year after me all had max loans, no free grants..

Today I came home and saw two female peacocks in my yard. I'm sure it's an omen, but I'll be damned if I know of what. Free dinner. Wow I remember when WH (and 40k) was aimed at kids and students. Now they seem to be targeting lottery winners. It is. Tory kids and students.

Im hoping that was sarcasm rather than idiocy, i have such a hatred for the sun/mail... they may as well be called FOX because their so one sided. Only paper i'll read is the independent. And the way i see it the tories help the working class considerably more than anyone else, the ones they dont help are the "non-working class". Although I'm pretty fornicateed off with them for putting up minimum wage, that means in a few years i will no longer be on a good wage, I'll be on minimum wage because they're not raising civil servant wages.

Im hoping that was sarcasm rather than idiocy Try "gentle mockery". , i have such a hatred for the sun/mail... they may as well be called FOX because their so one sided. Only paper i'll read is the independent. Indie is a tolerable rag. And the way i see it the tories help the working class considerably more than anyone else, The minimum wage hike certainly did. The "cutting spending while cutting tax receipts faster" probably didn't, as it slowed the economy to a dead stop for three years. the ones they dont help are the "non-working class". Servicemen, firemen, ambulance crews, nurses, and people in manufacturing don't work? Although I'm pretty fornicateed off with them for putting up minimum wage, that means in a few years i will no longer be on a good wage, I'll be on minimum wage because they're not raising civil servant wages. 1) Wait, you're a civil servant...who supports the Tories..? Turkey. Christmas. Voting for. 2) It should be pointed out that just because more people are making as much as you, it doesn't necessarily mean you are worse off. Assuming inflation remains low (which, given Iran is about to come back into the international oil market, is very likely), all this means is that the relative social status of your job/income will decrease. Your actual earnings will likely remain unchanged

My annual earnings will stay the same, yes. But how can you possibly almost double a large percentage of the populations wages and expect the businesses paying those wages not to increase prices? You don't think supermarkets pay more than minimum wage do you? And service people are no worse off than they were, not a lot better but certainly not worse. My wife is a nurse by the way. And service personnel are doing pretty good too, i never realised before the fact that when they're in Britain they have such a cushdy job! Free skiing or quadbike trips (excursion training), half day wednesdays, half day fridays, no weekend work, free housing and stupidly cheap food Almost makes up for the low wages they're on at low ranks (wages for officers are good)

You don't think supermarkets pay more than minimum wage do you? You don't think the wage bill for frontline staff makes up a large proportion of those businesses costs? Also, ALDI and LIDL don't pay minimum wage, and they're the ones driving supermarket prices down. And service people are no worse off than they were, not a lot better but certainly not worse. Aside from the fact they're going to be asked to fight the next war with increasingly limited budgets and manpower. Kind of like My wife is a nurse by the way. If your wife is an NHS nurse who's better off under the Tories I will eat my fornicateing hat. And service personnel are doing pretty good too, i never realised before the fact that when they're in Britain they have such a cushdy job! Free skiing or quadbike trips (excursion training), half day wednesdays, half day fridays, no weekend work, free housing and stupidly cheap food Almost makes up for the low wages they're on at low ranks (wages for officers are good) nuts pay, limited job security, fitness requirements, requirements to move and chance of being killed. Diven't fornicateing want to know what you count as "cushy", but losing chunks of my limbs and ten mile runs don't come into it.

There have been studies done on the effects of raising the minimum wage on inflation, and yes, it does drive inflation, but[/b] the percentage increase in the cost of living is lower than the percentage increase in minimum wage. This means that increasing minimum wage does increase purchasing power of the people on it. Then again, minimum wage could be eliminated if something like negative income tax or minicome were implemented...

Too many resentful, small c-conservative types. At this point, the UK is at 0% inflation. 2-3% is the optimal.

That's an interesting thought, RT. True about LIDL but how are Labour going to turn the economy around again?
Do you think they'll sell people's daughters off to Isis, or something similar, sort of like what the Labour council did in Rotherham a couple of years ago, with the systemic cover-up of the most blatant case of mass sex abuse ever?

Well the camp i work on is mostly officers and JNCOs, their required fitness is 'dont bother going to PT and play xbox for wednesday sports day'. And they get paid like 40 - 50k for drinking tea all day and working on their own cars. Also with regards to my wife, better get eating your hat... shes better off because we get twice as much free childcare for our 3 year old so she works a day less a week and that effectively makes our monthly childcare cost close to £0. It helps she has a manager who cares about family too. Oh, and we now earn more before paying tax thanks to tories too Those things combined and we're about 1k better off a year (realistically more because my new jobs pays almost double my old one). A few years ago we would have been better off if we were both unemployed and now we actually benefit from working which is how the world should be.

That's an interesting thought, RT. True about LIDL but how are Labour going to turn the economy around again? By having an economic policy which actually makes a modicum of sense, rather than deliberately reducing overall consumption by cutting government expenditure to the bottom end of the social strata and maintaining it to the top. George Osbourne has also managed to increase the budget deficit for every year aside from this one. Five years of mediocre growth and two and a half thousand dead disabled people and we finally have our beloved surplus. Or, to quote the West Wing: "Will this plan stimulate the economy, Josh?" "It'll certainly stimulate the Swiss economy." "Josh gets points for being both funny and right." Do you think they'll sell people's daughters off to Isis, or something similar, sort of like what the Labour council did in Rotherham a couple of years ago, with the systemic cover-up of the most blatant case of mass sex abuse ever? No, clearly, they'll sell them off to good, honest Tory donors, thus keeping the proceeds in the economy. Well the camp i work on is mostly officers and JNCOs, their required fitness is 'dont bother going to PT and play xbox for wednesday sports day'. And they get paid like 40 - 50k for drinking tea all day and working on their own cars. Given the requirements for an officer start with 2.4km in 10 mins 30 and the beep test to a 10.5, somehow I am skeptical of this rampant unfitness. Also with regards to my wife, better get eating your hat... shes better off because we get twice as much free childcare for our 3 year old so she works a day less a week and that effectively makes our monthly childcare cost close to £0. It helps she has a manager who cares about family too. Ah, so you're better off because the Tories have given you handouts, rather than those feckless, workshy types who didn't have jobs, or were incapable of working. Oh, and we now earn more before paying tax thanks to tories too Those things combined and we're about 1k better off a year (realistically more because my new jobs pays almost double my old one). A few years ago we would have been better off if we were both unemployed and now we actually benefit from working which is how the world should be. I'm bemused as to exactly what benefits you would be on to ramp your earnings up that much, but even so, that's more an indictment of how nuts real pay is in this country. And how absurdly overinflated housing is. My fornication hat is a fedora.
