On the one hand, fuck GW, their plastic is too damn expensive for what it is.
On the other hand, respect for paying out profits to the employees. Mad respect, 100%. Wish more companies did that.
Lots of stuff to bitch about with GW but prices aren’t one of them. Exhibit A is the article you’re responding to, they are responsible with their profits and put them where they should. Exhibit B is they could minimize costs and outsource the entire plastic operation but they still make all models in England. Exhibit C is paying for Art is always morally the correct thing to do, even when mass produced. Finally Exhibit D, fuck GW for promoting incredibly short lifecycles for their games and pushing an almost weekly FOMO event on products that leads a lot more to these profits than just model sales.
I’m not a 40k player but nowadays you can just 3d print all the models.
It’s the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don’t have to paint your minis, but that’s the entire point for a lot of people.
Trench crusade official units are 3d printed! You buy the files
