Hello all, Slick here. The latest GW newsletter is out and it's all about the Island of Blood starter set which is AVAILABLE NOW! This is definitely the best Warhammer Fantasy starter ever! They have really surpassed themselves with the quality of the miniatures and everyone will appreciate having the small-format rulebook to use.
