    Yeah, needing to purchase new models would be insane and completely uncalled for.. Imagine: you are paying an arm and a leg for your pieces, then GW comes out with another edition and now you have to pay with your OTHER arm and leg! :jawdrop: That gives you only two editions!! Okay, a little dramatic but you get my point :p GW is still a little fair on ONE point: if you bought the model from them at any time, you can still use it ;)

    I was making a joke because the aren't any 8th edition models yet....
    (except for some special edition pesents)

    Soon a the new starer box comes out in a couple of months,
    Skaven and High Elves will have the first proper 8th edition models.

    many of the current models are from 6th edition, and one or two from 5th.

    i think that they should wait for a while and put all the modles out in one big go instead of an army at a time, it would be ore fair that way,eg the high elves get 8ed and were stuck with 6ed, it kinda sucks.its just gonna happen like this :mad: guy withougt a gun=LM guy with a gun =HE

    altthough i suppose they take this in to consideration..

    You have to remember that GW is a company. And to be honest doing what you say isn't what I'd call a good marketing plan(?).

    Cheers!

    Also think of how much time we would have to be waiting for everything to be coming out at the same time.. GW isn't full of writers and sculptors who can just shoot out new army books and models all the time.. I would be soooo tired of waiting for ALL the armies to come out at once.. And plus, seeing armies get new models and cooler things just makes you that much more excited about the new things you'll be getting!!
