:P
Does anyone know more about this?
All rules and more as pdf are gone.
(sorry for the caps)
-
Not good.
-
Yes good, I might finally be able to shift my Empire army ;)
Only joking, but this has been coming for the past 6 years!
-
Although..... The rule books are now available again to buy, as is BFG Armada! Maybe this is a new era of SG support?
-
I don't see armada anywhere on the US or UK site? Maybe they're finally just deciding to drop everything entirely. It should be noted that the content is still online, the links are just gone from the Gw site Imperial fleets (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1280008_BFG_Imperial_Fleets.pdf) its just going to take a bit more google-fu to download them, which I would suggest to anyone that wants them and hasn't done so already (just in case). You can also find the BFG stuff hosted at various places on the net (http://www.scribd.com/doc/60948043/m1273434-BFG-Basic-Rules) and I'm sure if any one needs something most of the people here are a google docs link away form getting you more info than you ever wanted...
-
Armada is listed but you can't add it to your basket - the same with the Mordheim one.
-
Let's keep the links coming guys. While this is probably just another site reorg and isnt the harbinger of doom, it pays to be prepared.
Also anyone with files/looking for files (BFG and EA) can feel free to PM me.

By the way, it probably makes sense for the HA to be prepared to reach out to you-know-who in the event that the unthinkable happens. Just sayin...
I'd suggest we get our house in order to make the request as official as it can be made to host the content under the same provisions that the old Fanatic content (http://sg.tacticalwargames.net/fanatic/) is. Even if it turns out that this is isn't the case this time, we should have a continuity plan in place [dramatic enough for you :)?]
-
Dear Games Workshop,
Why do you hate your customers so very, very much?
Yours sincerely,
Every GW customer in the world over age 18.

See here:

They'll be back next week, it's just a screw-up.
-
Maybe this is a new era of SG support?
Could the legends be true? Maybe this is why the Mayans stopped writing that calendar. :)

Firstly, I happen to have a copy of every SG resource that was on the GW site, so don't worry about these things being lost. Secondly, I have it on the best authority that this is a technical issue and that the resources will be made available again shortly. If SG resources are ever removed from the GW web site permanently, then I would be first in line knocking on GW's door asking permission to host them centrally here. ;)
-
Like many things, this is just a storm in a tea cup in my view. I'm pretty sure that this has happened before.
Perhaps when they do put all the specialist games resources back up, they can remember to include the Epic Chaos lists this time.
-
I see the order dice are up for sale, when were those added to the bfg listings?
-
Around the time they quit making the boxed game.
-
The BFG box has been long gone. The special order dice are new in the BFG section (Epic had them always).
Armada is still gone.
-
Thanks, never knew they went for Epic too, or I may have bought some a long time ago...

And this is why we all love you :P
-
So... still no links on the GW site, did they send IT on holiday?
-
Ha. No. ;D I am told it will be in the next couple of days.
-
well IT is back from holiday! too bad the FAQ2010 didnt accidentally make its way up there :/
-
Can I breathe out now?
-
Not quite - it looks like some resources are missing. I can't find any Mordheim Resources. Warmaster, Necromunda and BFG are missing the main rulebook PDFs.
-
I will look into this after the weekend.
-
Hum, the US site has all of the BFG resources. The core rule book is split into 3 PDF files (Basic Rules, Advanced Rules, and Ships of the Gothic Sector). Theres nothing at all for Mordheim, and nothing that looks like rule books for the other two mentioned (I'm no expert on the other games tho!).
-
would it be wise to make a sticky with links for each game, cause USA has all BFG and maybe other sites have other pieces of the specialst pdfs?
