I suppose it's one of those areas where surely there is a fantastic opportunity for someone like GW to get on board with 3-D printing rather than looking to suppress usage.
It's interesting because the whole point of the models is that they have specific attributes and fits in with the codexes.
Surely if someone is making a separate design, it would be beneficial in terms of fostering increased support and take-up of the GW models. Although of course it all depends on the similarities between the two!
- Qworg 14y agoActually, the whole point of the models is that GW sells them. The prices for GW products has steadily increased over the years, even though their material costs have not. 3D printing totally upends their business model.
- grabeh 14y agoYes, traditionally they sell them but I think a licensing of the designs for usage in 3D printers could be a great driver of increased uptake. Not entirely sure what you're getting at with static material costs? Are you taking into account inflation and saying retail costs have increased at a greater rate? In any event, home printing would reduce their own costs and hopefully foster greater uptake.
