I really do not know about metal character. Even though GW has produced some
pretty good looking miniatures, so far their e40k metal trooper-miniatures
(Landspeeder, marine Predator tank commandeer (or is it Leman Russ tank ?)
are not exactly masterpieces.

And if they are released, how much more are they gonna cost (3 small
captains for 1 pounds ? Or heaven forbid, 1 capatin for 1 pound ? Be careful
of what you wish :) !

Still it is amazing that GW still recycle their old plastic mold (I might be
wrong here, but the Assault troopers look like the 2nd Ed Epic ones) and
still manage to charge higher for it. Maybe GW is still trying to recoup
money out of their expensive plastic miniatures mold.
