How to make Cheap Wargamming Hills

Watch Mel almost slice his figures off, and them marvel at how simple it is to make cheap gaming hills. Ever wondered why GW stopped selling them? No it’s not because they are so easy to make yourself. I suspect it’s because they don’t suit the GW game boards.

IF this RUMOUR is true, It looks like Games Workshop are taking repackaging old products to a whole new level. I can’t help but wonder if they have broken a law somewhere by re presenting the same Limited edition product. Clearly they don’t destroy all the mould and CAD files for their limited edition products. It must be the box that was limited.
