Summary for Warhammer Fantasy Battle players and general Games Workshop enthusiasts
An interesting article on dakkadakka by "precinctomega" who attended the most recent Games Workshop AGM.
You can read the whole post (
dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/218542.page#383574) although it's quite long so here's my summary below:-
Hobby centers will reduce the number of lines held in store to ensure the most popular items are always available. Other items can be ordered for delivery to the shop through in-store terminals .

Objective of development team (this is good news !) is to ensure new rules never invalidate models or armies and core rule books do not invalidate old army books.
