Lets grovel to worship GW for deigning to provide us with more minis and giving us the scraps from their table! P**s off! The amount of money that company makes I think we have waited too long and have a right to expect them to produce new minis from time to time. And since they are not the only Company that we can get BB figs from we do not have to shout out thanks when they demand it from us. So no, if I think a figure suckd from GW, I will say so.

TRUE!!!! Sure it's great that they started making figs again, sure some or most of them looks ok or great or whatever, but why on Earth should we just shout "Halleluja" whenever GW produces something?? I remember them screwing the BB community big time some years ago, when you couldn't even get the board game.. "But what if they go back to that if we don't buy their miniatures, even the ugly ones??" well if they can't produce something worth buying, I guess we are better off with them not producing anything. No I don't hope they go back to that, but I sure as hell won't buy anything just to make GW happy!NightDragon wrote:Lets grovel to worship GW for deigning to provide us with more minis and giving us the scraps from their table!

And yes, I think most of the new figs are fine, it's just the general "grovelling" attitude I read in some of these posts.. come on, shape up, demand something like consumers in all other branches do.. Imagine if everyone was just satisfied with what somebody made.. "This new kitchen contraption-thingy has a 50 % failure rate, there is a significant risk it will blow up or cut off your fingers, but let's be grateful they made it" okay, sorry, but exaggeration to prove a point...
Oh BTW please tell me if you disagree, I won't answer until tuesday though as I'm going away for a few days now (wohooo!)

Just like to point out, that just because I don't like a certain figure, does not mean that I won't support the hobby. There's plenty of other figures out there to buy, so it's not as if GW won't be getting my money one way or anotherlongfang wrote:Be beardy, be anal, be blinkered, be narrow minded, be opinionated, like or dislike but.....SUPPORT YOUR HOBBY!

They will still be getting a lot of my money even if I don't buy their new elf team. As for supporting our hobby what about all the years I spent buying warhammer figs to convert, is that supporting someone elses hobby. But those numbers will never show up on GW reports. If they want so much money out of the BB community they should work on quality control, the better the figs the more we will buy. Right now one of my biggest pet peeves is the scale of the figures. It seems like every other new figure that is released has his own scale that doesn't fit with anything that has been previously released. Why not deal with that. But a few bad minis isn't giong to get me to stop buying way to much GW stuff. As long as there are good ones still coming out as well. The quality hasn't sunk that low yet. In fact I would say that 90% or more of the figures coming out look great and I will be buying them but if someone doesn't tell them which ones suck then they may keep lowering the standard.so it's not as if GW won't be getting my money one way or another

What Extreme says is important, at this point if i were to want to completely redo a Dark Elf team, i wouldnt buy bb ones but would rather convert some 40k Dark Eldar. Their sales figures probably only attribute 50% of the actual sales for bb mini's, at least a third of my skaven team is actually from the Mordheim line, all of my Lizardman team is from the Fantasy range.
