If you’re looking for something different to hobby on this holiday season, come see this updated list of amazing alternatives to GW miniatures.
They say competition breeds innovation and lower prices, and for this industry that seems to hold true. Come see the amazing sampling of independent company alternatives to Games Workshop’s Citadel miniatures.
It’s hard to deny that Games Workshop’s designs for miniatures have made a quantum leap in the last few years. Part of that is sure to stem from the new 3D computer design and printing technology our there, BUT how much of it was also inspired by necessity?
Do they need to stay ahead of the tidal wave of independent bits, and figure manufactures out there?
Checkout this updated list to the best alternatives to GW Miniatures!
