Is it wrong that I kind of want one of these....



I think that they missed a trick in not making the bionic eye a laser pointer, though.

I must say, that is pretty cool.

well, you know O-man's reaction.


should definetly have a laser pointer in it though.

looking at the tape, i think it's only marked in inches, thus making it unsuable for epic.

I wonder if it might be possible to open it and replace the tape with a cm or dual one?

It does look cool...3

Probably. I would be very surprised if this was not just a regular £1 tape measure in a fancy GW package. I have a bad feeling that it will feel cheap in hand, though. If I was a carpenter, I would so buy a few of those for my tool box.

How long will it be before GW stops using inches and cm and switches to a unique unit of measurement, and therefore requires use of their tape measures?

As with Spain? They have all in cm but if they roll a dice for eg consolidation moves they have to look on a table as the dice rolls are in inches (it doesn't say so it just translates it into cm).
Now they translated to inches but called it Movement Units

Unbelievable?

GW.... I WAS JOKING!!

The use of 'movement units' is common in ancient games, to allow you to play at different scales.
28mm; 1MU = 1 inch
15mm; 1 MU = 1/2 inch
10mm; 1MU = 1cm

Reading that post, it does seem that the previous version was worse, where units move 30cm but fall back 3D6 inches.

I have considered getting this too, just like a model you can paint it.

However, I already have a Cyboskull, which a quite cool, and looks much better.

Pfft, barely one skull on that skull.

Lol

I gave in and bought one when I popped into a GW for the first time in yonks, curious to see what a Storm Talon looks like in real life (better than I expected).

It'll likely be some time till I get a chance to take it apart, hopefully switch the tape measure and then paint it to look better though (more boney for a start). I'm 300ish km into a 1,100ish km bicycle tour to Brisbane at the moment and I'm not sure where I'd get a screw driver and new tape measure on the way. If I do I'll let you guys know.
