I totally agree. Maybe they'll be as limited as GW's re-release of Space Hulk? Obviously the CMON guys figure the demand just isn't there to make them a regular range again.AndrewGPaul wrote:You can shove your artificial scarcity up your arse.
ach, youre far too cynical. CMON always do limited runs of stuff. there just arent enough dedicated painters in the world to do otherwise.AndrewGPaul wrote:"The plan currently is to produce limited runs, these incredibly hot miniatures will be sure to sell out fast!"
Oh, you were doing so well until that point. You can shove your artificial scarcity up your arse.
So I want 5 squads with every option available, in shades or Red, Blue-Grey, Dark Green, Black and Dark Blue is probably not going to work very well either then? Ah. No worries then.me_in_japan wrote:Remember: think painter (i.e. I want one) rather than gamer (i want 2 squads of 10) and you'll be on the level with this announcement.
So? Hasslefree, Heresy and plenty of other companies manage to sell to the "painter" market. There's a difference between selling them at high prices and making them limited edition. Limited edition models are no more of a benefit to painters than to gamers. It's just a cynical ploy to boost initial sales. For added insult, I bet they'll spin it as some sort of benefit to the customers, too.me_in_japan wrote:Remember: think painter (i.e. I want one) rather than gamer (i want 2 squads of 10) and you'll be on the level with this announcement.
Because Confrontation is supposed to be a gamer's range perhaps and for those few individuals (odd, twisted wierdos that they are.me_in_japan wrote:some people like limited editions simply because they are limited. And its not like they bent your arm up your back, is it?
I dont see Hasslefree, Heresy and the like as being painter's mini companies. Theyre more for rpg, character typee miniatures, i reckon. Their minis are nice, but rather cartoony. (not that rackham stuff wasnt, but it was cartoony in a different kind of way...)
and how come CMON get shot down when they do a limited edition? Studio McVey, as well as a bunch of other companies do em all the time, and I dont see folks griping at them.
) who want to play the game, it sucks to be them.
maybe it was in its original format, but it aint now. CMoN havent picked up production rights for Confrontation the Game, theyve picked up the rights to produce the minis. For painters (it being a painting website.) to paint. Confrontation players may well be able to pick up one or two minis they missed back when it was actually a game, but essentially what CMoN are doing is saying "hey, you know those minis that everyone on this site bitches about never being able to find? well, we're gonna sell em to you. Arent we nice?"Confrontation is supposed to be a gamer's range
That makes no sense. There's nothing about a miniature that makes it somehow less well-sculpted if everyone can buy one. It's the same mentality as "this band isn't cool now everyone else likes them", and that's daft.me_in_japan wrote:some people like limited editions simply because they are limited.

I seem to remember seeing Studio McVey's sci-fi range getting griped at on Frothers for being limited.
