Games Workshop has released a picture of it new Chaos sorcerer figure for Games Day in 2010:

Nice model.  Too bad that the scuttlebut is that the will be only one Games Day this year in the US, with more on the offing if you want to travel across the globe for your games day fix.  A lot will be riding on this single GD.  If it reaches the general level of stinkiness as seen at some previous events the fall out could be brutal.  Given GW's resources is leaving the promotion to their hobby in the hands of untrained recrutes doing their own tournaments a really a good business strategy for the long term?  Sure, promote independent games, but without a sizeable GW presence it won't even feel like it is their game being played.  This in turn creates a great opportunity for a company that could produce a compatable set of game rules into which GW miniatures fit well -- along with the own original ones.  In other words, a game that allows all the old stuff not to wasted while providing the excellent customer service we want to see,

Remember what I said before about taking customers seriously?  This is not the way to do so, at least given the event information I've see as of yet.  Hope things improve or otherwise "GW" is going to become just the label on the box in which your miniatures arrive -- until you start receiving real service from another company, that is.
