I won´t give up my Lizardmen. Never!
If I cannot play my lizards, I am not playing at all.
Same for me.
Well, I had a lot of time to think about all that happened to LM and to WH:FB.
If we will take as fact, that GW are remastering all WH:FB .. that mean that the problem is not in WH:FB, that it is "sells bad", but in GW only. In fact, plastic model that was made in China is VERY cheap. May be even few $ for models like Carnosaur, but GW sells them for $85 !
So, I thought, that this business simply can't fail. It's nearly impossible. But GW made it.
And remaster will not solve the problem, problem is not in game system, but in GW itself. No "new blood" can solve it, unless it's a "new blood" in GW.
I'm not leaving until 9ed, I really love my lizzies, I will not play any other army, but I paused my activity.
Warning: Rant inbound.
You really love your lizzies? Honestly? Doesn't read like it.
GW's mini's aren't actually that over priced, sure, they could stand to be a little cheaper but if you shop around you can get the original minis for a fair price (unless you live in Aus/NZ where luxuries are stupidly expensive and the wildlife stupidly dangerous).
There's a whole raft of artists and staff involved in producing a kit for sale, let alone getting it to the high street for you to buy. Overheads and initial costs that a simple counterfiet casting operation doesn't have. It's enough to say that someone stealing something produced by another team, making resin copies and selling them on the internet has a tiny percentage of the costs of the origional producer, the actual final production is but the last tiny stage!
If you love your lizzies, and you say you'll do, then how can you attach no value to the work of the concept team that roughed up the ideas, the sculpting team who turned those ideas into reality, the mould tool team who took that sculpt and refined it for casting and the staggering cost of producing the actual production mould tool, the manufacturing team, the packaging team (not forgetting the teams who painted the models, photographed them, designed and manufactured the packaging), the distribution team. All of the support staff needed at the various stages of the models life, the costs of the equipment to do all this, the costs of the buildings to house all this, the rent of the store front where paid employee finally sells you the product.
If you love your lizardmen, then you need to realise and accept that each one of those figures took hundreds and hundreds of specialist man-hours to produce.
Buying cheap knockoffs shows you have no respect or understanding of that it takes to actually create something worth having, and without respect and understanding, you ain't got love.
