What a steal

>>93679484
Thought even GW would only sell models that expensive if they were metal. Looked it up and they are indeed metal.

But why are they metal?

>>93679732
Because they are too lazy to resculpt them, they have the moulds for metals, and they probably have an edict from above "no new finecast models" because that shit sucked.

This is the sort of pricing you see from someone who doesn't want to do the job. It's intentionally outrageous so your a sucker if you buy it

I feel bad for australians, but buying directly from GW is stupid. Support your lgs instead, you'll get a nice discount and you'll have a place to play games at.
Alternatively, if you absolutely must have these online-only kits, wait a bit for the retards who bought them to realize they don't actually want them to put them on the second-hand market. They'll be much cheaper then.

The only problem with infinity models is not that they look third party. I think I can probably identify an infinity model from other stuff without any difficulty, the problem is that unpainted I don't think I could tell most of the not super-special-awesome-elite troops apart by army.

Like, there's aliens, and I guess those guys have cross shaped visors and western swords that make them stand out, and then I can identify the jihad or whatever by looking for scarfs and that's it. A dude with an assault rifle without their color scheme might as well be any other dude with an assault rifle from any other army.

I dunno, it might just be a lack of familiarity; but other than whatever flavor of marine you pull out of a cracker jack box, most 40k armies are hard to mistake for one another; in fact the closest you might get is flavors of Eldar or someone mixing up Votann stuff with being GSC or Marines.

Other games I think have a stronger visual faction identity. That said, Infinity models are still really fucking cool.

>they can rip them the fuck off.
Thing is, a lot of these ToW models are so old it's going back to the time you had to make units by buying metal blisters of 2 or 3 guys at a time and that was so stupid expensive back then that these current prices are not even that far off...

>>93684734
If you want metal minis you just have to make a mold of the prints and cast them yourself. It'd be 100 times less complicated than printing metal

>>93687726
tl;dr lol

>>93688039
I can make a 3d model look like hand sculpted. In fact there's guys that do that like Knucklebone Miniatures.

It's just that there's not really a strong market for it. People are often making armies, which require uniformity, which modeling with computers makes super easy.

GW's recent Sanguinary Guard is simply laziness not CAD, they could just include more legs and torsos but don't. Posing is often the hardest (read: tedious) part once you get good at sculpting.

Also, CAD is used to refer to industrial design. 3D Modeling or Sculpting is used to refer to just the act of making the mini. Basically CAD is making the mold and 3D modeling is the mini.

>>93688365
The only thing that scares me with China prints is lead and other toxic materials potentially being used to save money.

>>93688629
It’s resin, it’s already cheap and toxic.

>>93688636
James makes them out of metal. Are you saying the chinaman is using resin? I fucking hate resin. But I’ve also been told that GW makes the worst resin they’ve ever seen. So maybe it’s a GW problem and not a resin problem.

>>93688666
The issue with GW resin is two things. First is Finecast is technically a resin, but is also the worst material ever conceived and produced. All the drawbacks of resin without any of the benefit, all for the same or more price. The second is Forgeworld whose resin itself is fine, but their QC is almost non-existent. And recasters tend to do a better QC job that FW. Which is where the semi-joke came from of how you can tell if a FW model is a recast because the quality is too good to be a FW original.

Besides that peoples gripe with resin is due to needing to use superglue, and that most cast resins are brittle so the models break easier. Which was a problem for print resins as well, but we now have widely available print resins that are tougher and better than plastics in most respects.

Do these things even have rules?

>>93685342
Wizards of the Coast doesn't set the secondary market prices. They sell packs and boxes of cards, not individuals (as far as I'm aware, I know they've been doing some weird shit). The closest thing to that is Secret Lair packs, and even those are only like $50 for the all foul ones (which is still too much, by the way).

GW actively sets the price for their models. You're comparing apples to coconuts here, Anon.

>>93680009
>100 quid.
lolno it's £31.50 in the uk

$52.00 in the us

$63.00 in canada

$86.00 in australia

and $102.00 in new zealand, which isn't even a real country

the discrepancy between the pricings and the dollar values (a quid is about 1.3 usd, 1.8 can, and 2-sih for both nz and australia) is because australia and nz have terrible freight links with the uk (it'd be cheaper if iran would CALM the FUCK down but there you go) and massive import taxes, whereas you can have a ship cross the atlantic in a a week

£31.50 is still a lot but they don't do a whole lot of metal casting any more, there's a bigger energy cost to metal casting because of the temperatures involved, it's made to order so there isn't a high volume run to sink the fixed costs of machinery into, etc etc

Wow, isn't it amazing that GW have all this vertical integration, Aus warehousing, can fill whole containers and have them shipped in advance by surface for releases months ahead of time and it's cheaper from some small firm in the UK to airfreight me a couple of boxes.

The discrepancy is because we have enough homegrown autistic soibois like you making every excuse under the sun for GW treating them like a hole to fuck that money falls out of.

>>93689085
Yeah GW has always spun lots of BS as to why their prices are higher internationally. For the rest of retail in AUS prices dropped because people just ordered online from international sellers instead of buying instore. But because of GW's potentially illegal international selling embargo they never got affected by that. Though because of that they at least ended up creating a viable recast market for us to utilise, on top of making 3D printing cheap compared to buying from them which helped market viability for 3D printers.
