Just now, Neil Arthur Hotep said:
A new character getting their first model would not really constitute the return of a loved protagonist in my book. I am thinking it would have to be a WHFB character or an AoS character that has been absent from the story for a bit.
But also, I don't know how much significance needs to be placed on the term "protagonist" here. It could just be Skaven as a whole if the writer of the financial report was a bit sloppy with their language.
It is not exactly a protagonist... but what about ascended Khul?

When I think of marketing speak 'AoS protagonist' I think of, like, Vandus maybe? That would be my guess for a big glow up anniversary model thing, but I think rumours along those lines have already been quashed? Otherwise my mind wanders to the likes of Tyrion and other 'beloved' characters of that sort. It's a pretty vague little statement, I'm going to assume it doesn't mean much significant for now.
Finally Malerion?!

Well I think the campaign is pretty much over, not really much point in voting in it now since it's become riddled with brigading. I really hope GW figures out a better way of doing these things in future 🙁
WTF
EDIT: To clarify. This is from the outside. This was 50-50 not so long ago.-

Lets remember this Aygust GW should anounce what have they cookkng for the Warhammer+ model. Perhaps it will eveb get anounced next week, depending on when the reveals for kill team and the sanguinary guard might drop.
(From wheres the text, btw?)
The text is from the stackholder's report. And last year the models were announced by the end of August. So maybe we have to wait a little longer.

They are talking about a protagonist, not an antagonist
Why cannot Skavens be the protagonist? They are always saving us against Nagash.

Over Reddit the consensus is about Tornus the redeemed
Oh. Good point. But if we focus ourselves on characters it could be an unreleased one from Skavens as well 🐀🐀🐀

Even in the early 90s it was a luxury product. Prices were "lower" but so was everything else.
Splurging £5 on a blister as a kid felt like a lot of money. Even as a late teen with a basic job and no outgoings, it was expensive to buy wfb regiments. It always has been a luxury.
I woudn't say it was luxury neither it is nowdays, but it is just my own impression.

Do you not see the contradiction in those two sentences? They are necessary to maintain their current margins. GW is a PLC that has a legal responsibility to its shareholders.
Huh? Sorry, this makes no sense (I'd recommend seeking financial advice if you are ever looking to become an investor in anything). Average margin rates are based on the sector in which a company operates. Engineering and Construction is less than 15%, Financial services are around 85%, Education 40% etc.
A "good" PM can be anywhere from 7.5% to 95%+ and depends entirely on the market in which the company operates.
In the luxury goods market (Which GW is in) LVMH (The largest and most valuable luxury goods company in the world) operates at a profit margin of... you guessed it. 70%!! If GW had a 30% Profit Margin it would be doing terribly (relative to the market it is in.) and shareholders (myself included) would not be happy.
Purely out of curiosity. Since when do we think GW gave the jump into the luxury sector? Because it is obvious to me that they didn't start as such. There was a big event or it is just that the prices went too high that we assume it is part of that sector?

Does the 70% profit just account for the design, manufacture and distribution of minis, and perhaps not account for the game / lore / art development behind that? Or is it in relation to all GW operational spending?
All the spending.

Did everyone else have any issues?
I typed in the code, my email address, nothing then happened. I've emailed customer service and they sent another code, no joy there either.
Did you pick your side bellow that? It is not very intuitive. I got the same error.

Didnt Whitefang said death will be main protagonists in new eddition, so I think they think about Nagash here
Or Morrda, as it is heavily tied with Ruination

Gw have said numerous times that their physical stores are the number one way they recruit new players. I've been to the Warhammer cafe in Tokyo a few times and there's always at least one member of staff giving the sales pitch to a new customer that just wandered in off the street. They also point out that sales bought online to be shipped to a GW store have increased 50%. These sales are counted as retail sales not online sales.
IMO that's just them wanting to boost store sales, because you can easily track if the order has been done at home or inside a store.

I put in my code and my email address and can't submit... any ideas folks?
Pick Stormcast Eternals underneath. If you pick Skavens you cannot vote

The good thing is that, as it is designed with modules, if the magic module is a problem they can ban it from tournaments.

So, like who exactly are they referring to as "return of a much-loved protagonist"
it singular so it seems to not referring to the factions
it there going to be the return of a character as a Stormcast or are they referring to nu-Queek?
Maybe just Skavens?

Honestly I think people who think that profit margins are too high are missing on two things: Profit can be reinvested into developing new products, and that non-profitable products don't get supported (and if they are supported, its because profitable product essentially subsidizes them).
This is the company that killed one of its core game lines because it didn't sell well enough. For all people are terrified of their models getting squatted, it'll happen a lot more if profit margins are lowered resulting in a lot more stuff becoming unprofitable to make. Plus there's also the chance it will incentivize them to stop taking risks: why make new models for low selling factions when new Space Marines will always sell better no matter what?
This is the key, IMO. We sell "well", but we are not 40k. Better than GW get big margins so we are safe until the game sells better on its own.

Totally forgot the shareholder report is out!
I wonder if this means that it was the "most significant" in terms of design and production, or in revenue?
GW knows what is their winning horse.

I don't think it has as much to do with the online store as it does with more people looking for a discount in the face of price rises.
I also thought so, but then why the spike on GW physical sales? There's no discount there.

Interesting that online sales from the Warhammer webstore are down 5.2% (£3.8m) while trade and retail sales are both up. Physical Warhammer stores are up by 8.6% in comparison.
GW mentions they're now in phase 2 of the new webstore which is aimed at adding extra functionality to give customers a better shopping experience.
At launch I found the new webstore to be pretty bad TBH, they also say they launched it a few months earlier than planned.
That's extremely weird. As a web dev, you tend to launch late, not early.

Let us know how you get on with the Expeditionary Force and if it's fun to use, especially the scout gyros and improved miners. I'm keen to give it a go, but am currently converting up a unit of mercenary ogres I can't run with it who I'm excited to field, so probably won't be for a while.
Also just realised these posts should probably be in the Dwarf thread 👀
This is general Old World, so why not!

Oh so iit not that they forgot to announce the pdf it that some intern release prematurely and GW just waited till that actial time to announce it ok
Either way really good free PDF that hype the Vermindoom and the ruination chamber
Hope if there is a new campaign it go into detail on the other realm theaters just so we can get more perspective on the war from diffrent faction to diffrent chambers
The only negative bit is that this was included in the boxes in the past. Bad for collectors who wanted to get it physically as the rest of them.

Free Assault on Hel Claw supplement, with some interesting foreshadowing.
So a new campaign coming in the future, or just weirdly worded reference to the current Hel Crown?
Wow. Someone forgot to publish that post. I initially thought it was something else, but the supplement has been there to be downloaded for three weeks already.

For me, if you play BK, Khul has to be a much-loved character, I guess. Otherwise, there's no character meeting the universal much-loved character term, unless... it is Felix...
