Of course, now that the releases are staggered, presumably following the old consensus that doing so would help maintain player interest, there are complaints that GW should have shovelled it all out the door in one go.Nurglitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333941626425462180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964945866386538577.post-56529827377322841822012-02-23T15:00:54.646-05:002012-02-23T15:00:54.646-05:00Sheesh the new stuffs from GW sure is expensive!
...Sheesh the new stuffs from GW sure is expensive!<br /><br />I had a lotta fun, and learned a lot, by building proxies for many of the models in the 'Nid 'dex.<br />I suppose GW sold enough 'Fex kits to converters, and decided it was time to try and make everyone purchase official versions.<br />Lol.<br />Did sales of Juggernaughts slow down enough to make them release T-Wolves? Or did they realize what a blunder they made not rushing those things out the door right after the book dropped?<br /><br />Were they tired of seeing lil' companies make big money by offering decent substitutes for these things?<br /><br />Who knows with GW?<br />A few years too late, and I give my money to Battlefront and Corvus Belli right now.<br />I'll check back in when 6th comes...whenever that happens.<br />According to the rumors, that could be tomorrow, or in 70 years, or during a lunar eclipse, or when a meteor strikes the earth, or....<br />:PSinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964945866386538577.post-9772498274221112032012-02-22T16:35:08.721-05:002012-02-22T16:35:08.721-05:00Interesting views, Ghostin.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the era of scratch-builds. :) I've just converted a t-fex (and will be posting pics to my blog ;) ) and fortunately it's already on a trygon base, so it should still be legal I hope. Still, I plan on getting a t-fex kit just the same. Here's hoping 6th edition continues the good news for 'nid fans!R. C.

Not sure what you're reading that gives that impression. On the other hand, OOE/RT etc... just don't pass the common sense test.

Not that people notice, because I've converted them all to have their Scything Talons tucked up rather than spread out. And since all of my Carnifexen have a similar quadrupedal stance I'm pretty jazzed out the new models. <br /><br />Just pointing out that it's kind of weird that you castigate GW for producing new Tyranid kits for some units so that the entry barrier is lowered, and then castigate them for not producing new kits of other units. It's kind of a paint-pot is half-empty vibe.Nurglitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333941626425462180noreply@blogger.com
