Colonel Catachan will be a miniature to buy absolutely. The reason is not in the miniature itself, which is really beautiful in my opinion by the way, but in the fact that by reserving your copy, you can concretely help your local and preferred Games Workshop store and their workers in this moment of concrete difficulty due to the lockdowns of the CoronaVirus all over the world.
Colonel Catachan available only in Games Workshop stores
Coronavirus lockdowns are gripping trade around the world. Even the Games Workshop stores are no different. For this reason, with a post on the community website, Games Workshop has announced that it will send a limited edition miniature of Colonel Catachan of the Astra Militarum to local stores which will not be available on the online store. In addition, all proceeds from sales will be in favor of the store, with no percentages for the company. A small breath of air for retailers.
Another important news: Games Workshop is reopening the warehouses, starting to send stocks again. This means that the online store will reopen on Friday for new orders.
The limited edition miniature
I find this Warhammer 40000 miniature really beautiful, but buying it will not only be an opportunity to get a limited edition miniature. It is also a gesture of solidarity towards local shopkeepers and their employees, who are often the soul of this hobby. Solidarity that we really need in this period, so I invite you to contact your dealer to book your copy!
I do not know the amount of sales that such a miniature can have, but that of making limited editions available only to retailers could and perhaps should become a custom, in order to facilitate and concretely support local trade. One way to get more people into physical stores.
