They also hid a price hike in the changeover from lead to pewter metal miniatures. Which were not exactly cheap as it was.

Maybe bioware will make a tactics rpg where you have to buy individual dlc's for different models :lol:
More likely an action-RPG where you play as Guilliman. There will be also a "play as the EMPRAH" DLC, and he will still need a full sword combo to kill an Ork.

This could actually work on a Bioware level, provided they have Tau as the good guys and Dark Eldar as the bad guys, so they can go full weeaboo/sexual deviant.

Of all the things for bioware to rape, why 40k? Wasn't starwars enough?

Nigger, please. After all George Luca$ himself did to Star Wars (well, maybe not personally, but through Luca$ Licen$ing), what Bio has done was merely mildly discomforting.
True enough. I'd rather see almost any other developer take on 40k than see bioware take a shit on it. The IP is a personal favorite of mine. We should get more quality 40k video games, not less.

I actually share this sentiment. I like 40k, and Bio would do terribad things to the setting. On the other hand, much like Luca$ harmed SW many times more than Bio did, GW themselves have already harmed both 40k and WFB in ways unimaginable to Gaider or the Hamburgess.
Yeah.. the necron/c 'tan retcon and draigo immediately pops to mind.

Yeah. Also:

all we know for sure is that 10 plastic models the size of a finger cost a fortune.
The prices are absurd.

Thinking about it, they must just love how fast 3D printers are developing. I wonder how they're going to cope.


Or you could do what I did with several miniatures back when I played 40k in my youth: use them to make my own rubber moulds and cast my own copies :troll:

Can't wait to romance transgendered pansexual space orks!


Sorry to break this to you, but Warhammer has always had an homoerotic vibe to it. Its exaggerated aesthetic is like Tom of Finland with chainswords.

Deep in your subconscious mind spreading lies.
I remember playing warhammer fantasy with paper templates. Fuck the gluing and painting nonesense, I want to get straight to the awkward movement rules, terrible LOS ideas and horrifically unbalanced races.
It was always fun to use the "rattling gun" to mow down elves of every color and nation.
