Games Workshop New Releses May 9th

Commissar Yarrick returns with a splendid new miniature, Astra Militarum collectors will be sure to add this legendary and long beloved hero to their collections.  Also defending Armageddon are three brand new heroes for Imperial Forces; Commissar GravesInquisitor Kroyle, and Intranzia FrayeDogmata Superior

The next expansion for Warhammer 40,000, Armageddon: The Return of Yarrickincludes new rules and lore for fighting in this iconic setting, along with the Armoured Gauntlet supplement, encouraging players to field as many tanks, monsters, and war machines in their games as possible.

 
 
 
 

 

The mythical Bikeboss, Wazzdakka Gutsmek, explodes from the ancient pages of obscurity unto the fabled world of Armageddon. Wazdakka has existed in the background of Warhammer 40,000 for years, and has even had rules in the past – meaning that any intrepid Mek had an opportunity to kitbash their own Bikeboss. This is the first time that he’s had a miniature though, and he’s racing onto tabletops in glorious plastic.

 It’s widely known among Gutsmek’s fellow Speed Freeks that his grand ambition is to race Big Revva from one end of the galaxy to the other, and the new Warzone Battalion: Orks Speed Freeks join him in the fastest WAAAGH! the Warhammer 40,000 universe has ever seen!

Pokemon Cards up 170%

 should you cash in your stocks and invest in Pokmeon Cards?  Well, the value of Pokemon cards over the past year has increased 170% but Scott does not expect them to hold their value over the long term .  Of course, Scott also counseled parents back in the late 1990s not to expect Pokemon cards to hold their value over the long term so take his advice with a grain of salt.
