Is there a site here we can get Warhammer 6th edition files and such?

This just reinforces the working theory that someone in GW legal saw the site in their standard internet scans and flagged it, without actually consulting anyone else about the 14-year allowance of AB data files. |

The 40K team has been very proactive about working with GW for many years to make sure both sides are happy with the arrangement, which just further calls into question the doomsayers regarding the implications of the datafilecentral closure. But fear-mongering and sensationalizing of news is all the rage on the internet these days. It definitely makes for a much better read than something boring like "the data files are being moved to a new site and everything is otherwise proceeding the same way it has for the past decade". The critical detail that "news" on the internet is often not based on any actual facts, and in some cases flies in the face of the facts, is largely overlooked these days. |

I have been getting some mileage out of this today. This is a post I made on Chaos-Dwarfs.com some time ago now:

Ah, I did say it was an old post.
Here's the original, though it's exactly the same (despite the weak willed form mods editing my example of precisely what you DON'T have to edit). http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/sh...9116#pid179116 |

It doesn't have to make sense with GW, about half the rules changes from 5th to 6th make less sense than dropping an H-bomb on your own capital city.
My take is that yes they want to do some kind of over priced builder on the over priced I-Pad themselves and then inflate the price beyond what is sensible knowing folk will either have to do that or give up the hobby. I for one refuse to buy anything Apple just to continue playing 40k or any other GW game, so if the worst comes to the worst I would urge everyone using AB to boycott them in protest if they continue with this totally anal attempt to shut down a perfectly reasonable system. If they want to cause problems then in my humble opionion I really think it would serve them right to lose far more than they stand to gain, and if they continue like that it would truly be a benefit to the world if they went the way of a lot of other companies lately ... To the wall. Rant over, sorry guys but I think GW are getting above their station in life now. Last edited by jboweruk; July 25th, 2012 at 03:35 PM. |

Given that GWs in-house army creation application failed miserably when originally released, I would be surprised to hear that they are trying that again. Generally GW sticks to what worked in the past and just re-does it every few years. They forget about the stuff that never worked, giving the impression that a new iPad app for army creation is a figment of imagination. The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money. |

I'm not the only one with the opinion, and can you figure why else they suddenly do this and reach for their heavy handed law team?
And yes I'm fully aware that the overpriced digital codex is not an army builder. I do believe as I've stated elsewhere it's the precursor to that. The last time GW tried it wasn't somebody else at the helm? This guy that is in control now is a moron, a lot of people have said so, he's ruined GW in a lot of ways, not least the law team he has, and the ridiculous price rises he keeps inflicting, it's almost like he's trying to break them.
