GW Begins the "Great Smelt"

[Mike Lawler]

I wonder if it's just odd-bits that didn't make whole kits and/or the specialist games stuff.

The full rumor is that they will also be phasing out finecast and replacing it with plastic.

I really hope this rumor will be true. That would make me so happy.

[Boon]

More of a reason to keep your metal mins.

[gideon_lorr]

Deathwatch bits are still available. *whew*

[zenjah]

There are still metal miniatures for sale on the GW website, so I wouldn't think they are melting the entire stock quite yet.

Now there is something i can get behind! Proud to say i have never owned a finecast model and since the dwarves look to mostly free of it i am happy.

Seems stupid to me. Just make a clearance section on the website and sell stuff 75% off. They would make more than selling it for scrap...

[Wolfshade]

Pressumably they considered the cost implications of disposal vs sale and thought that disposal was more appropriate.

[Wildeybeast]

So thats where all the Bretonnians went.

[quantar]

Does that mean I finally get my Plastic Sisters? >.<
