I'm glad they are doing this, at Warhammer Fest a few weeks ago people were buying as many of the event exclusive minis as they could carry to no doubt overcharge people on eBay for. Little bit of karma that you will be able to essentially order one at the end of each year for those who couldn't make it to an event, hopefully cutting the scalpers out!

You're partially wrong about Forge World. FW and the Specialist Games Dept are the same thing these days, so FW are doing Horus Heresy, The Old World, Titanicus, Aeronauticus, Necromunda, Bloodbowl - rules, models etc. On the other note: I prefer games that don't follow WYSIWYG - Corespace being a prime example, as throughout the missions you find equipment that you might want to swap your current gear out with - not that gear is wildly different in this game like it can be with 40k, infinity etc... but the progression from a trash pistol to a shotgun etc makes you change up the play style.

It is almost guaranteed that they have been running nothing but 10th on as many lines as they can for the last 3 months and will be for another 10 or 15 days. As soon as the pre-order is done they will re-arrange their lines to back-fill. Currently any lines that aren't running 10th are more than likely the upcoming releases for the next 2 codex armies for QA, Marketing, and pre-stock for time to volume calculation.

From a modeling and hobby perspective I like the options and WYSIWYG…. Up until I want to try the other rules.

@RichardChildsPhotog Жыл бұрын

I was so excited when the Legion Falchion, Fellblade and Glaive vanished from the Forgeworld site. Having seen the Sicaran tanks re released in plastic I assumed the bigger vehicles were going the same way but no, they just came back way more expensive. I’d have one of each if they were plastic but no way in resin. Hopefully we will see the other Cerastus Knights in plastic though.

@leehodges1484 Жыл бұрын

Think the reason Forge World exists is the high cost of plastic tooling, if it is an item that only a few people might buy it isn't worth the tooling costs. But resin molds are much cheaper so allow them to offer more niche models. So you are paying more in theory as resin casting is more labour intensive and are done in smaller runs. And additional Games Workshop magic pricing reasons.

It is painfully obvious that GW needs to look at doing their snap fit single pose kits through a more High volume maker in ABS (Bandai, Tamiya) and Citadel should be doing the smaller more details and option rich kits in house. This also let's them reduce the cost of entry massively without messing with their bottom line at all; while also giving them the ability to have the super expensive bespoke models from the Core Line.

@verigone2677 Жыл бұрын

@@Albinospenguin Oh I get it, it is just baffling the shear amount of money and wasted sprues that get left behind because they don't understand the True Market. They should be changing their business model now, ahead of what is about to happen to the gaming world over the next several years. The means to production no longer lie with the corporations, and we get to keep capitalism...I am not sure if you know how huge that is. It is more transformative than the PC was to the work place. People will spend that kind of money on plastic toy soldiers, but it isn't going to be from GW unless they change their pricing and fulfillment model. Its pretty simple economics, and the latest batch of consumer grade Resin and FDM printers are beyond economical to the injection molding technology...and the technology STARTED from the open source market and can thus NEVER be locked behind some mythical paywall or barrier to market entry. Demand for custom goods is only ever going to increase so long as the economy increases, that is precisely how a stable capitalism sustains long slow growth...as opposed to constant massively overpriced FOMO bull shit that ends up ultimately being a shortsighted cash grab falling well short of expectation.

What's extra-fascinating is that Forge World (according to people who do resin sculpts/manufacturing for a living) use the oldest possible method for producing resin miniatures...while...conversely, using 3D master prints to produce the sculpt. So instead of...just 3D printing Forgeworld stuff on really nice printers (which GW could absolutely afford to do)...they stick to ancient resin methods which produce really poor quality models, and then charge you an eye-watering sum. Forgeworld is comically bad.
