http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW fumbles will this market cater more and more for the players who don't want to pay through the nose but want to create models more in touch with the fluff? At the moment I think the alternate builds are very much a niche market yet with increasing prices from you know who I can see this market growing vastly, after all it may well work out cheaper to buy bodies from the likes of ebay then add bits from the companies mentioned above than it is to buy and convert from direct.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080152.page GMT
Many people have converted armies in the past, it's just getting easier to do so now. I miss being able to order all the gw bitz. Especially buying by the pound down at games day.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080169.page GMT Personally I think the unofficial parts are great and hope they have a long future as diversity is a great diving force for anything. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080230.page GMT GW's 'guideline' for official events was still based on the majority being GW parts s using 3rd party stuff is technically acceptable by their rules.

They probably won't let army overviews be a complete ad for a 3rd party source. Expect articles to say something like "...army made using parts available online..." with no manufacturers specified.

GW legal may not like these companies, but White Dwarf and the tournament crew may not really care. GW is not a monolithic entity. (And not completely evil.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383520/3080609.page GMT
