the problem is i quite LIKE GW models!

Don't get me wrong I love Citadel Miniatures and the GW universes, it's just recent price hikes and the considerable drop in quality over the last 5 years or so have really dampened my enthusiasm for GW products. This coupled with the current trend of marketing toward 12 year olds has left me with the feeling that GW really don't care about the older gamers like us who have supported them for so long.

Recently we've seen smaller companies like Heresy and Otherworld Miniatures prove that they can make miniatures which are just as good if not better than GW. Older companies like Iron Winds (Ral Partha) are still producing miniatures that look and feel like the Citadel C series miniatures I love so much. While many of GW's great sculptors like Kev Adams, Chris FitzPatrick and the Perry Twins are doing their own miniatures now away from the corporate marketing machine that GW has become. Not to mention people like Reaper Miniatures, Privateer Press and others who are just doing their own thing.
Other companies like Scotia Grendel, EM4 Miniatures and Black Tree Design are re-releasing miniatures originally made by other companies long through to have disappeared in previous years.
   
There's a whole world of hobby games out there which GW is only a small part of and I'd like to think that's one thing people will take home when they come to The Lost and the Damned
