    Yes and they’re yet another collectible product that exploits the psychology of a subset of people who compulsively collect things. I put them in the same category as gambling and note that there’s a lot of crossover with these things (loot boxes and CCG booster packs being prime examples of a gambling and collectible combo).

      Yeah, I hate those assholes too. I feel bad for anyone who falls for their business model.

        At least you can play a game with 'Nid models. Also have you guys gotten any updated models yet? I know you guys were in the same boat as the Skaven for quite awhile.

            Fucken A dude, I know the Gaunts were getting crusty. Now if only Games Workshop would update some of the non-Cadian Guard models, I want some non-forgeworld Armageddon Steel Legion models.
