NEWS: Citadel Bitz & Collectors Catalogues
Games Workshop has updated their Bitz and Collectors Catalogues and placed them on their website as PDF downloads. Many terrific models are now available again and some useful bitz too. For example, if you want to buy a few horse models for that special mounted conversion you can now do so again. Visit the GW website for full details.
Personally, there are a few items I’d still like to see added back into the Bitz range. While I appreciate what GW is trying to do with the metal “weapons upgrade” packs of melta-guns, plasma guns, flamers, lightning claws and thunder hammers, I’d much rather have the plastic sprue equivalents available even though they’d be a bit more expensive. The Tactical Marine Upgrade sprue, Chaos Marine Icon And Upgrade sprue, and the Assault Terminator arm sprue would be terrific bitz offerings. Over the past couple years GW has largely moved away from hybrid kits of plastic models with metal conversion bitz, so why offer the old metal bitz for conversions in the bitz pack service? I’d much rather have the plastic sprues with those upgrade bitz available as bitz packs. Especially that Chaos Marine Icon sprue; there are so many essential bitz on that sprue for building specially equipped squads and cult models, decorating vehicles with icons, etc. More than a year after it’s release I’m still frustrated that it cannot be purchased in quantity by itself. I’d also like to be able to purchase the Razorback Turret sprue without having to buy it bundled with the Predator sponson sprue.
