Hide your wallet, and forget your Paypal password, it looks like Forge World will have a new store on Games Workshop’s site next week. Come see!

Sources tell BoLS to look for Forge World to be integrated into the main GW website next week. There are currently no reports that this will tie into the GW retail store chain initially (ordering Forgeworld from the retail stores could come later). It looks like the first phase of the rollout will simply be to get Forge World’s product line on an equal footing with all the other GW products on the main site.
We knew this was coming as CEO Kexin Roundtree said this in the recent GW Annual Report:
“Forge World mail order store. To protect our sales we are building a new Forge World mail order store on the same platform and hosting environment as our Citadel mail order store and migrating all products and imagery. It is on track with a scheduled go live date in the summer of 2015. It will cost £1.1 million.”
There was a lot to do about this very topic way back in March when we started hearing rumors of this, but an exact time-frame was never nailed down.
The Image below seemed to indicate that a Forge World option was being tested on Games Workshop’s site, perhaps for fulfillment from local hubs in market countries outside of England.
What do you think of a ‘Mainstream’ Forge World era?
