I understand that they've done it to appeal to a younger audience, but that
begs the question: Why??? They should know that younger people can't afford
the prices for the number of mini's that you'll need. Hell I can't even
afford the ones I really need (after all I can't afford to pay the $300+
that I still need for a good Marine force and that's AFTER I've got 2
Tactical Sq., 2 Terminator Sq., and all my characters). If they lowered the
price of the miniatures (you can stop laughing maniacally now) I could
understand it, but as is? Nope. Total contradition in goals. They can either
get younger players or lots of money. They shouldn't be able to do both. But
somehow they're managing it and the older more mature audience is getting
shafted on both ends of the deal.
