Before you click, note these are items for sale, not free downloads. They dont cost very much, but they do have a cost.

Not convinced by the Games Workshop model of paid for individual downloadable guides/ articles.

Providing them free would be a good way of attracting visits to the website, stimulating interest, and as a means of making entry into the hobby more accessible for beginners who are then going to spend a fair amount in the future on products.

Alternativley I'd probably pay for a well- printed physical book to save me having to pay individually and faff about printing them out myself (single sided) then sticking them in a folder etc, but personally I can't see myself buying these.

Perhaps there's a market for a generation who only want to view them on tablets etc, and not print them- all my painting guides collected, developed and refined over the years are written in biro in an old school exercise book (or was that Old Skool?!!)

Dan,

Second your opinions. Maybe enough people will buy them that as a business strategy it will work. I won't.

Errata to your announcement. G.I does not stand for General Infantryman. It does stand for General Issue.

Their products are already overpriced, and now a charge for a painting guide…give me a break! There are enough "free" sources out there…like Artizan's and others.

I think their marketing strategists should have offered these as a free download…like otheres, not impressed nor will purchase.

Government Issue? Come on Warlord, at least spell Pearl Harbor correctly!
