Looks like the time is NOW for all the juicy previews, rumors and more.
Forge World was out in force showing off their new stuff, and well not too much from GW corporate it seems.
Not surprising I suppose since in open court this year they stated Games Days are just events for hobbyists to enjoy their favorite hobby activity of buying new things…
Forge World seems to have passed retail and marketing 101 and is doing just fine.
