I can't find them anymore! Did they sell out? The nearest product has the pictures taken down. What Games Workshop's problem?
OK. Here they are.

IF ...
...you are talking about how come there are no GW pictures for most products, this sprue notwithstanding, is that Games Workshop decided that anyone other than them selling these products were not allowed to use the pictures! I am not certain if it applies to all internet sales, or only the ones that may sell at a discount. Ik know it used to be only those that were sold at a discount, but it's been a while since I bothered with GW's draconic sales policies.

I have a name for such behavior, but my undying regard for Paizo causes me to withhold the posting of it. Actually, I have multiple names. But like I said, I respect Paizo's rules. I think I will keep this in mind if I ever buy any of their products in the future--go look at their pictures, then buy them elsewhere.

Sure, and I agree.
However ... please remember that at this very moment, anything I've said is rumor/conjecture. I'm 99.9% positive that I've got the jist of it, and I am pretty sure I've seen this from more than one reliable source. I have opened my yap prematurely in the past, though, so I have to fess up on that in advance.

Wow.
Which means the special glow coming off the gray plastic as I lifted it out of the foam shrimp was NOT my imagination!
I'm glad to hear about the new catalog. I've gotten two of my friends that I know of to become Paizo customers, and there are at least two more who are drawing ever closer, and a shiny new catalog is a nice thing to wave in people's faces.

It is not only on this website that the GW pics removed.
I have seen it on another web site as well. "These pics have been removed by request of GW" Not sure why

Okay - I went and did some research. Neal at the War Store mentions the online policies here.

And they came today! :D

There's been a spike in punning on the boards lately?
Springtime?
Swine flu?
Preview Fever brought on my irregular blog updates?You're ahead of me, David. I'm waiting for my daughter to get home later in the week to start the fun.
Don't worry, I only have one sprue with me today.
But my standard bearer is nearly finished :)

I think the standard bearer may well end up being my favorite. It makes me want to do a re-envisioning of the Lost Temple of Whatchamadoozit.
The Scar Veteran with Army Standard looks pretty cool.
I think I might have to get one of them. :)

My memory misfunction was of the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, but you probably got me.
Yeah, he fits the milieu perfectly. Although, I wish he was holding that giant thing with both hands. Great for the cultic setting I have in mind. The snake standard makes me think that there is a connection with the serpentfolk (TRFKAY-T). From deep in the earth, they rise up from the realm the primitive lizardmen call Xibalba, causing them to believe that they are their divine ancestors or something. Build ziggurats, commence human sacrifice. The Underdark (what are we calling it now?) could even cause the retaining of the Camazotz connection, for more yummy Xibalba flavoring.
