01RTB01 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Mornin' all. I wrote a complaint to the advertising standards authority over the kill team kill zone nonsense and got this response this morning: "Thank you for contacting the Advertising Standards Authority.

Brother Tyler Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 At a guess, if you review this topic, the preview pictures showed quantities of terrain that weren't included in the actual products. 01RTB01 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369856-response-from-asa-over-kill-team-debacle/#findComment-5686441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Nicely done, 01RTB01, and thank you for sharing the e-mail reply with us. Personally, I sent an e-mail to GW customer service raising the issue but didn't get anything beyond the standard reply. 01RTB01 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369856-response-from-asa-over-kill-team-debacle/#findComment-5686571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks for sharing this 01RTB01; unsurprisingly, GW haven't responded or made any acknowledgement of their error. I wouldn't be surprised if some poor member of their community team loses their job over this - they'll just have been doing what they were told (e.g. use a picture of the terrain sets), but won't have had it communicated to them that these weren't the same as before. Either way, GW's internal communication should have been better. 01RTB01 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369856-response-from-asa-over-kill-team-debacle/#findComment-5686596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Apologies for the belated reply here. Ai it's no surprise that they haven't apologized. The only hope is they don't balls up like this again firestorm40k 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369856-response-from-asa-over-kill-team-debacle/#findComment-5715921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
