Lathe Biosas Posted Monday at 03:29 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:29 PM https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/qgmvkomp/septembers-miniature-of-the-month-and-collectible-coin-revealed/ Quote September’s Miniature of the Month also marks a big change in the monthly in-store offer. It’s the last of the traditional free miniatures you can get for stopping by your local Warhammer store, but don’t worry – an exciting new offer is launching in October! We’ll have news about it soon, or you can ask your local store manager for more information. I wonder what the "exciting new offer" will be...

ggergnayr Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:16 PM I’ll be sad to see the free minis go. That’s been a consistent high point for me and my eight-year-old, going in and grabbing a free mini every month to build and slap paint all over . darkhorse0607, Focslain, Felix Antipodes and 2 others 1 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388455-final-free-mini-of-the-month-confirmed/#findComment-6185021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhorse0607 Posted Monday at 08:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:23 PM Valrak was saying it's being replaced by some sort of thing where you can go and pick from a selection of minis, but you have to build it (at a minimum, he wasn't sure as to the extent) in the store If he's right then I am probably out, I have zero desire to sit in that cramped store that reeks of body odor to build a mini with GW tools It's sad to see it end though, it was one of those things that would actually get my gf and I into the GW store, rather than just skipping the disappointment of them not having what I want and ordering it online. ggergnayr, sitnam, Felix Antipodes and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388455-final-free-mini-of-the-month-confirmed/#findComment-6185024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted Tuesday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:01 AM At least it’s going out in style. I quite like this one for some reason I can’t really explain.

Lord Marshal Posted Tuesday at 09:00 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:00 AM (edited) The replacement might be linked to that 'Pro' thingy with a Sternguard that was doing the rounds the other month; presumably alongside the new paints. 12 hours ago, darkhorse0607 said: Valrak was saying it's being replaced by some sort of thing where you can go and pick from a selection of minis, but you have to build it (at a minimum, he wasn't sure as to the extent) in the store If he's right then I am probably out, I have zero desire to sit in that cramped store that reeks of body odor to build a mini with GW tools It's sad to see it end though, it was one of those things that would actually get my gf and I into the GW store, rather than just skipping the disappointment of them not having what I want and ordering it online. I think a lot of stores were already requiring you to build the free mini in-store, presumably so there has to be at least a little bit of commitment from the person and so they can't immediately go and hawk it on Ebay. Not all stores went that route, but it seemed like it was increasingly common - probably as a push from on-high.

Antarius Posted Tuesday at 10:04 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:04 AM Yeah, it's hard to cast as an unreasonable demand, to be honest. Also, I was quite sure that something like this would happen; it would be weird to simply end the project with no replacement and I'm sure giving out a little plastic pays off (especially if you actually have to spend a little time in the store).

lhg033 Posted Tuesday at 12:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:12 PM To date I have claimed only one Mini of the month - the Deathwing Knight. That was only because the stars aligned and my son happened to be passing a store on the day. There have been a few I would consider but I have commitments on the weekend so will never make it. It is a little frustraiting but not the end of the world. If it was available for the week I might be more inclined to go instore on a lunch break and possibly even pick a paint or two up at the same time. Given I have multiple other hobby shops with discounts near me I am less likely to pop into an actual GW store without incentive FarFromSam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388455-final-free-mini-of-the-month-confirmed/#findComment-6185125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathe Biosas Posted Tuesday at 01:09 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:09 PM I was in the ER, the day the Deathwing Knight came out... and I'm not a doctor. Just a klutz. I tried to entice family members with me to grab the Scout, but for some reason women don't want to hang out in line outside in a hot and humid Saturday morning (with no shade). Weird, huh?

Indy Techwisp Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Shame the final mini is a repeat SM Scout and not something more interesting.

Lathe Biosas Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago I always held out hope they would give out a Custodes model... no such luck.

skylerboodie Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Maybe it'll just be a permanent choice of an intercessor, ork boy, stormcast eternal, or skaven clanrat, like the options available at Warhammer World's paint desk, i.e. minimises the freebies to established hobbyists and keeps the focus on encouraging newbies and kids. stretch_135 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388455-final-free-mini-of-the-month-confirmed/#findComment-6185367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittlePlasticHomies Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago The free mini of the month is always a pretty unenjoyable experience for me as a consumer. I don’t go in for them because I don’t need 1/N of a unit and then my shopping experience (if I happen to go in the day they release) for a single pot of paint (or whatever) becomes totally derailed by massive queues of people who aren’t actually going to spend any money.

ggergnayr Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I wonder if it’s just my market, smaller town but one of only two WH stores in the state, it’s rare that I didn’t snag a mini showing up later in the week. I think I only ever got one on the Saturday it dropped once, and that was on accident. I missed the last Ork boy, that was gone early in day of.

These are already a permanent choice at warhammer shops, this wouldn't be the replacement thing they are talking about. skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388455-final-free-mini-of-the-month-confirmed/#findComment-6185396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
