It's not an addiction... we can stop any time we want...

Funny enough, I’ve never bought any models for exactly this reason. Am poor, have mercy 😭

I got into Warhammer by proxy - all the associated media. And I have some friends who do buy plastic crack.

Ive never understood why not fuck games workshop and 3d print. Its gotta pay for itself eventually.
Because there would probably be complaints about quality, people are used to resin cast models
A well calibrated resin printer produces minis whose quality are leaps and bounds above the cast ones. The problem is that printing technology doesn’t scale too well (and Games Workshop are terrified of disrupting a market they mostly control).
