Re DR and EW: But, they dont do minis for Space Marines, Eldars or Orks. Basicly all they do is proxies for Imperial Guard and few other things (like squats). Sad thing is that I like Space Marines, Eldars and Orks and no-one makes figurines for them.
So I am sad.
But! The problem is not that SG has stopped selling marines eldar and orks, it's that they won't do any new races, so what is the problem? There is no problem there except something highly speculative like 'what if' GW stop stocking them, or 'what if GW goes under'. Well maybe that will happen, but then maybe anything could happen.
However regarding a lack of new ranges, the tyranids are annoying as they are harder to proxy. At least DRM is coming out with something kind of buggy soon.
On top of that DR and EW are coming up with stuff that slots pretty seamlessly into the 40k universe (beyond just the humans).
Really someone should hurry up and start doing EA lists for the DR and EW stuff. I mean the Andrayada have heaps more interesting gear than the limited amount that the Necrons get, and as I've said before Necrons are just like the raiding force of the Andrayada - why doesn't someone make a list for the Android empire as opposed to just a few scary robot scout patrols?
Or Andrayada could be the 'good' necrons
Also those Kraytonian lizards are cool - there's your Slann back . And of course Squats are also returned with the Karazi.
