What are you thoughts on the matter, if GW will just be doing faction runs?
GW’s Made to Order Discussion
What models would YOU like to see again from GW?
First off this is nothing but pure speculation on the part of forum and Fb group posters all over this morning as Games Workshop prepares to unveil their big “Made to Order” line next Saturday October 15th.
Today we’re seeing more rumors from Oldhammer on FB
The Dakka post on this topic is blowing up with folks speculating that GW will be doing 3D printing to crank out these minis, but I think a lot of folks may have not gotten all the details:
We broke the following policy from GW themselves yesterday that seems to indicate that a “selection of minis” will “be on sale for a short period of time”. So that seems to indicate that they will be pulling from a list of popular minis that are no longer in production, and literally make them to order.
But there’s the rub – how will they make them and in what material? What time frames are we talking about one week, two, three weeks?
Does Games Workshop have a big database of designs that they can just print out on demand now via 3D technology? Or are they planning to re-make molds and use the resin formally known as Finecast?
Whatever they do I think change overall is good, as long as the prices are right. Sure we’re not going to get 80’s minis at 80’s prices, but I can’t imagine folks are going to pay a premium to get an old Space Marine Captain either?
MTO Details:
There is a retro wind blowing out of Nottingham this October, and it may be bringing you all the older models you missed out on! Don’t miss this!
