>>3068426>Is it true all Warhammer miniatures are eventually going to be plastic?When I worked for GW there was a 5 year plan to move to an all plastic range, I left 2 years ago.
So far they have kept to the plan, culling the bits range etc.
>>3070150>Don't forget that Privateer Press is also moving towards a full switch to plastic as well.No, PP is NOT going all plastic. The models being done in plastic are the "larger" models which, if made in metal, would make them too expensive to even justify using the troops in the game; like the Bastions for example.
Also, the BASIC Warjacks are being remade in plastic, NOT Kharchev, Ol Rowdey, Deathjack etc. The legendary Warjacks will still be metal, since you would only ever buy 1
PP would not make their money back on them if made in plastic.
>>3070128>And it's not regulatedYES, raw metals are regulated through the Stock Exchanges since many alloys do contain precious metals like Gold, Silver, Platinum.
The metal gaming companies use is called Primarcium Tin, the cost of which fluctuates depending on the raw metal value on the market.
