Resin products from other manufacturers are more expensive than metal direct comparisons, due to the extra time it takes to cast the figures. So GW will be raising prices, the base material is cheaper but it costs more to use, that is unless GW do something revolutionary.

Resin should lead to sharper miniatures so long as they're moulded in the correct material. Look at companies like Spyglass, Hasslefree or studio miniatures who offer both resin and metal versions of certain figures, the resin versions always look better and are more expensive.

It will however lower GW's overheads for shipping, as a big box of resin miniatures is cheaper to get to a store than the same miniatures in metal. Doubt customers will see this saving though.
