GW Gives away free Codex books... in Japan

Just came across this news story... apparently GW is actually giving things away to gain market share.  In Japan pdf's of the Codex books can be downloaded for free (some, mostly fantasy).  I don't know how long this practice has been going on, but hopefully it works there and they think about doing it for some of the english language ones.

In browsing the site (via google translate) it looks like some of the updates and campaign books are free kind of like how GW used to do this for old WD articles.

Check it out here (you may have to change the country to Japan):

Ebay Mega Deff dread

Here's something awesome (and a little overpriced)... Some guy in Japan has been building Mega Deff Dreads from scratch. He's finally put one of them on ebay Here.



I have no affiliation with this guy. I happened upon his blog a couple months ago and have been following the progress with google translations. This is his 3rd deff dread. He was mentioning that he was waiting for the US dollar to climb before posting, but I think he's listed it way too expensive. Especially since he has 0 feedback and the forgeworld one is significantly cheaper.
