Blog Entries: 1 |  why aren't grots plastic? I mean you need at least 12 of them to be effective and that would already cost you $30!

Blog Entries: 1  | simple, GW knows they are effective in large numbers, so makes them in pewter which is more expensive, and charges more. i belive that this question calls for a DE DE DE!

| Frankly, Im surprised they make anything out of plastic. (for which they drastically overcharge, my work does injection molding... sure the die is expensive.... but $30 for 10or12 minis? PUHLEESE!) *depending on the size of the machine, you get one cycle per 10sec, probably up to 10 or more complete sprues of parts per cycle= @ $15 per second, per machine* Here's a tip: Take Vasaline when you go shopping for minis.... It'll hurt less, and give them less satisfaction!

Blog Entries: 1 | ROFLMAO!! Are they not bringing plaggies out with the new dex? I think it is more down to that fact Orks have been forgottern about for the last 10 years. Do you remember those horrible Gretchins that came out with 2nd ed! Bet you could get some of those really cheap off ebay.
