GW finally made me laugh. There's no way, NO WAY that that is supposed to be taken seriously. Everyone knows the one-click bundles are a crappy deal, and this is just GW doing a wee self-deprecating ironic funny-post.
isn't it?

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

Sadly the one click option came a little too late. I think I've already bought more than half.

Saw a preview of that last week but couldn't find an online store link to post. I desperately wanted to be the one to post this and write a long winded piece of hate filled wrath.
Alas, my timing was off.

No way! Is this real? Oh my god!

Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

Yeah, maybe a bit more than half eh? The sheer number has blown my mind. As the most active marine painter and having painted huge numbers of models of late, I was truly curious how long you think it'd take you.

I reckon I can average 2 models a day if I can keep my interest up. So 600 days just to paint the infantry.
