Games Workshop - Switch to Resin?
Rumours say that Games Workshop stopped the production of metal miniatures for unknown reasons and for an unknown timeframe. The original rumor seems to come from a well-known german retailer.

Seems unlikely considering how often people have had to return Forge World products due to poor quality casting.
ReplyDeleteIf it would be the same kind of resin, I agree. At least you could see the model in the blister before you buy it ;)
ReplyDeleteI take everything on April 1st with a grain of salt, but if this is the case I don't see much difference for the end-user, except for a potential heavy-handed price jump "To compensate for the higher production costs, in producing a better quality product to you, the consumer" or somesuch other GW advertisement. If they were to do this, I imagine that they would approach it from a different technique then Forgeworld, simply from the much higher rate of production they would want.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell the rumour is around for quite a while. Might still be an elaborated joke, we will see.
