    Frankly I’d rather buy sets than spend even more time staring at grey plastic. I also like supporting companies that sell me cool shit.

    People 3d printing will always be a small dent on the bottom line, which is what makes it so harmless imo

      If you look a little deeper (and, truly, only barely under the surface), it’s glaringly apparent that not only is GW not worth your affection, but it has actively worked against its fanbase’s interests as a foundational element of its business model for decades. Secondly, despite the 3D printing demographic being a negligible dent in their bottom line, they still act like a bunch of greedy shits and allege ownership of anything even remotely similar to grimdark scifi — as if they own the entire genre.

      p.s. Their endless, juvenile bullshit is precisely why One Page Rules not only exists, but is straight up slaying it. 🤘🏼

        Youre certainly entitled to your opinion but I am not uninformed. I just disagree

          These are not opinions, friend. They’re facts proven over decades of GW’s consistent fuckery. They’re known for it, worldwide. Don’t fanboi so hard your fingers can’t be removed from your ears without surgery, FFS.

            Liking a company isn’t being a fanboy. Insulting people who don’t would be.

            I am quite capable of making decisions about things I like.

              Some people can’t imagine wanting to pay the price asked for to keep making the cool stuff in spite of the tradeoffs.

                I can definitely understand that. There was a time when I refused to buy anything GW made because I didn’t like how they were operating.

                I like their changes tho and I’m in a position where supporting them isn’t a huge hit to my wallet.
