Cheaper is not always better. Some of their ranges are better than what GW has on offer right now, especially their zombies, but others, such as the elves and dwarves, GW's are better IMHO.

I do find all of Games workshop stuff's better (So much more customisable), but their prices aren't worth it. I really don't care about their quality of models, the staff and facilities they have to pay and other sob stories; because what's the point if people can buy their stuff?

Honestly, I got into Mantic, because unlike Games workshop, I could actually but their stuff. Reason why I mentioned the orcs was because I planned to have two units of twenty orcs for my Orcs and goblin army, but I wasn't going to be able to buy 40 orcs for the prices Games workshop has them at.

Sorry about going on about an inappropriate rant in this topic, but I do kind of loose it with Games workshop prices redface

Many people lose it at the mention, but the discussion of GW's prices is for another topic. wink

I am more curious as to how the evil human corporation, which is a blatant and thinly veiled jab at GW, will turn out.

There isn't, past guild policy was very strict about GW price discussion. However, if you feel we can discuss this without things turning too heated, then by all means you are free to start a thread here in the chatterbox regarding this topic.

Nah, I've already let off enough steam for now, but thanks.

Come to think of it, I may need to see those hands alongside those of other ranges, mainly GW and Privateer Press. They do make for nice personalized Rogue Trader themed weapons.

Actually, those models are the same ones as the fantasy range, only with extra sci-fi bits added. talk2hand

I'm going to wait and see how the human corporation minis turn out, so far though, I'm not that impressed by what Warpath has on offer.

It did suffer a lot of backlash on its unveiling, even Mantic crazes and droolers were unimpressed by these Marauders and the paint scheme of the Forge fathers. It's disappointing for Mantics really.
