As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere Australia with no local hobby store or games workshop, being able to get some of these unique miniatures online seems really cool

[Jangcrow]

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!

[filleis]

As someone who doesnt live in the US/ UK I LOVE that they are bringing them to be made to order.

[doctorstormchaser]

Totally agree with the comments about Pedro Kantor and Gabriel Seth. Having painted both of those armies a number of years ago - I loved painting those heroes. Particularly Seth. The primaries stuff I do love, but it does feel like they lack the flavour of the first born chapter boxes for squad.

[LCDupuis]

The prices of 30k models make me pretty okay with the fact that most of my 30k army is from, how do you say... a "Rogue Forge World"

[Benjambles]

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.

[Legal-Ade]

30k community is one of the most 3d printer friendly communities because of how expensive it is. A quarter of the vehicles I saw at adepticon were printed.

[leehodges]

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.

[verigone]

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.

[CallofOdin]

I live miles and miles from a store here in the uk. This move is great. Gives me the chance of grabbing these minis and hopefully damages the scalpers.

[timunderbakke]

Video games are *not* better. The last thing I want in my game time is another screen

As far as the game design question, I really like the simplicity of “this is my model, the rules are here” instead of “which gun did you put on that thing?” However, I love the fact I have so many choices in a GW kit. From a modeling and hobby perspective I like the options and WYSIWYG…. Up until I want to try the other rules.

[RichardChildsPhotog]

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.

[theainanimate]

As someone who gets to go to events where you get these minis I think that is only a good thing. If you go to the event you can get it earlier than those who don't but those who don't can still get them and there's an option to bring them back in future made to orders for newer players after that first one

[JachymorDota]

For the price of one Mastodon you could also get six A Song of Ice and Fire Starter Boxes, meaning you and five friends could instantly get into wargaming. I know, apples and pears, but the latter option will give you more plastic, dice and fun for your buck for sure.

[odharrison]

There is something special about war gaming. There is something special about your patreon!! Thanks gents fantastic as always!!!

[MistCellaneous-]

I understand that games workshop is making bank what the prices that they're putting up, but as a person who's used to d&d and buying miniatures from a range of $1 to about 12 at my local game shop. I looked at the Warhammer section and I was completely horrified, I just wish there would be some sets that would be a little more accessible based on price.

[CanonessEllinor]

As someone who lives in one of those parts of Europe that does have GW stores but would need to plan a full UK holiday to get event models, I fully support this move. Let me buy that 2021 chaos warrior already

[Giovannin]

Hey Jay, sorry if this is a noob question, but I'm having trouble finding a good brush for painting small details on my Space Marines. I'm a big fan of your tutorials and was wondering if you could share your favorite paint brush brands and any tips you have for maintaining them. Thanks for your help!

[FluteGnome]

Small scale resin isnt bad, actually characters tend to come out quite nicely from Forgeworld especially the primarchs.

[alexnoahvogel]

Thanks for all your opinions, Jay! As a Wisconsinite myself I truly appreciate your perspective.
