LOL Games Workshop is bonkers

[Verderer]

GW is moving to plastics, because it is cheaper for THEM, ie. they get a bigger profit margin. And it seems they're getting away with selling expensive plastics over metal. But I do think they're really beginning to reach the point, where even the most rabid GW fan is gonna hesitate when seeing the price tag. It's not only the recession/hard times we living, but simply common sense.

That, however, has nothing to do with the fact that these minotaurs look utterly horrid. And anyone trying to defend them is realy blind fanboi, or just blind. I mean, come on! They look clumsy, grotesque, unrealistic (as in muscle structure), like really, really bad action-figure toys.

Having said that, GW plastics aren't all stinkers. I ordered 3 sets of Citadel Woods the other day... and, no I don't play GW games.

Their LOTR plastics are generally very good. They're looking a little tired compared to the stunning Victrix Naps and Perry Wars of the Roses, but still great figures. Even though not cheap, they are certainly more reasonably priced than the metal versions. Their scenic items are generally very good too and of course easily modified to de-GW them. The woods are great for any number of fantasy/horror/sci-fi or even "sensible" games

Sorry, Gluteus. The "you" in my thread was a very general one, just so you know.

I maintain the right to criticize any company that tries to sell me stuff

I'm not denying anybody that. It just seems that this post looks just like the other one Thorbjørn Nielsen started last year. Same opinions, feelings, and "evidence"... 

And anyone trying to defend them is realy blind fanboi, or just blind. I mean, come on!

... or you could just like them, or could be waiting to actually see them to make a judgement.

See what I mean?
