GRAHH! I go onto the site seconds after I posted the previous thing and it says that 'maintenance work is being performed'. Whoever came up with this version of the website should be sent down to burn in the fires of hell for the rest of eternity to pay for the monstosity they have created!

Mine's slow but it eventualy gets there, the thing is it just isn't a hobby website anymore it's a minis online store with a few articles here and there, the old version was much better.
Think about it newbies seeing that as the website, hardly impresive.

Yeah, not only is the US version slow loading but gives FireFox users "script not responding" errors for each page.

I had already tried the U.S. site and found it slow, cluncky and awkward so after reading this thread I immedeately went to the U.K. site that I had always found astoundingly easy and enjoyable to use and guess what? Slow clucky and damn awkward to use. Don't get me wrong, I'm overjoyed that I now have the opportunity to get that specific model(£50 on ebay!!! it aint that nice) but after 3 attempts to make a purchase over £50 and all I ended up with each time was an empty basket I've decided enough's enough. G.W. BRING BACK THE OLD SITE.... pretty please

NOOOOOO! WHY?! This is this is the worst thing they could possibly do to the website.
1.There aren't nearly as many decent hobby articles.
2.All it is now is a fancy online store.
3.As an online store it's not that good a format.
4.It's slower than it used to be.

I declare this piece of news the worst I have heard all day and the new website CRAP!

That's not a website. It's a E-commerce.
Using the opportunities that the new web 2.0 offers to just have a new e-commerce is an example of how to waste time, resources and good moeny. This is an old fashioned way of doing business.

Wonder how many access does Bols weekly more than Gw's site.
Just imagine how nice would it be games-workshop.com with Bols as homepage :/

I'm sorry but that figure looks silly. What is he doing with the power fist, waving bye-bye to the enemies of the Emperor?

the site is a no go sluggish and unfriendly, of course like most of you the contenent that disapeared is dispointing but it's to sell WD.

more it goes more GW is going Corporate , less gaming and it's all but buy buy buy.. so thats the reason bits are gone and also the conversions showing how build stuff was kind of saying don't buy from us but build it yourself. the bad thing in all of this is that most stock holders are not players..it is one of the major reason we are ignored by the company.

they will keep producing books and minis and i suspect that it will be on a bi-monthly regular basis to keep us buying which i'm pleased of but in the end will it benefit the game.. so far new releases didn't change much, it's mostly FW ideas or old ones.

for the Exclusive mini.. well i could build one out of plastic marine parts so not that exclusive for me, plus it's a Marine again..heck i'd would have put somthing so really players would have gone crazy like a new Necron Warrior, Dark Eldar Sybarite, a Long Coat IG Sergeant, a plastic Meganob, Plastic Sister or even a GK
stuff that players really ask for...

+++ Noooooooooo! I go to the UK site so that I could actually search for something and find it before the end of the decade! The US site is good looking but slower than hell! I do however agree that with the lack of usefull articles and Black Goggo style stuff the number of times I'll go to the site is limited to seldom if ever. Canada has some cool articles mmmm have to head back there...

I sure would like to check out this GW website you speak of, but either it's been broken for over a week, or the dam thing won't even load on my browser any more. Lots of white space on that broken page.

gwmaniac — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:56:42 -0000

I like the general style of the site, I feel theve taken a step into the 21st century in that case, but the speed and layout are really questionable. They seem to be really trying to push the store, considering its intergrated right into the site, but they really do nothing to organize the site in terms of armies.

Also, what about all the links posted in white dwarf? The only link I ever see is ca.games-workshop.com, and this does me absouloutely nothing to help find the article/coverage.

The mini that they are giving away is from the white dwarf subscription in the uk, so its nothing new (i.e. Ebay time).

I don't understand why they don't post the bits/sprues with the item either. All the new ones are photographed and printed in White Dwarf. How hard is it to upload the photo and post a link? It's pure laziness in my opinion.

The navigation is pretty good once you get used to it. I still can't figure out how they determine which category an article belongs in. It takes me three guesses to find the space marine chapter gallery everytime.

berzerkermike84 — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:00:11 -0000

what i miss most from the old site was buyin ALL THE FUCKING BITS U WANT!!!! now u only have a one page for each main game!! wtf is that about!?!?!?!?!?!?! I WANT TO BUY THE BITS OF THE MODEL OR THE SPRUE NOT THE WHOLE FUCKIN THING! i miss the bits

Re: NEWS: UK GW Website, Exclusive Model

Augie — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:51:57 -0000

The hobby articles will likely not be coming back or at least, not in the mass quantity that used to be there as I understand the thinking.

That is what White Dwarf is for.

Lucky us.

I agree. The old sites were much more user friendly and easier to get around. They had neat articles and some pretty awesome content. These new sites have almost zero content, run like arse and are hard as hell to navigate.

All it is now is a massive online store with promotional stuff to push different products cloaked as content. It's a sad day.

Re: NEWS: UK GW Website, Exclusive Model

Kresh — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:54:01 -0000

Somehow I missed that mini. Gorgeous!

I miss the "exploded" feature of the old sites that allowed you to see what sprues and bits came with a particular kit or mini blister. Hope it's not a dead horse issue.
