The price is justified, because the box contains a ton of plastic miniatures for use not only in this game, but also in the Horus Heresy tabletop war game.

In my recent review of the really rather wonderful Assassinorum: Execution Force, I complained about the high price, and lamented paying a "40K tax," which is the price hike associated with any Games Workshop game to prevent people from buying multiple boxes to use as the basis for a tabletop army.Īnd now, Games Workshop have released Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth. I buy it myself.īut in the case of a new game from Games Workshop, that often means digging deep into the coffers, and fending off the mice for the last few crumbs of cheese. Guess I'm just going to have to buy it myself.Īnd that's what I always do. That was over a year ago now, and I'm still waiting. Once - ONCE - I was promised a free copy of Furor Sanguinis, because a company used my review of Claustrophobiaon their site. Surprisingly enough, nobody wants to give me money to write long, rambling posts about what kind of biscuits I eat while attempting to vanquish an evil dragon. You see, while I love reviewing old and out of production games, shining a light on those once-loved and long-forgotten boxes that everyone has tucked away in the back of the attic, I am also quite partial to something brand new and sparkly, especially when that brand new and sparkly thing happens to be from Games Workshop, a company I grew up loving, and a company that has one of the richest gaming universes to play in.īut here's the problem. For anyone old enough to use superglue, I guess.
