No More Metal: GW says good bye to Metal Models

Rumors on the interweb say that GW is phasing all the metal models out of production.  Now most of the current lines have already been converted to finecast but the Specialist Games which I am a fan have not and will probably now officially go the way of the Do-Do with no models produced at all.  Seems sort of strange since I would phase out the models when the molds need replacing to strecth the production run as long as possible.  So if there are a few metal items out there that you want might have to get the direct.  Or this could be a plot to get people to buy the old models to clear out the inventory before the year end in May.  GW got some of my money for the first time is over 2.5 years and likely the last time unless they release a Blood Bowl boxed game in the fall.

April is going to Feel like a Long Month

Reaper has announced that they are starting to ship out their Bones Kickstarter.  They also acknowledged what I already knew that it was going to take a long time to ship out all those orders.  They are also essentially closed for 2 weeks for Reaper con so the shipping is going to drag well into May.  The order they described the process soounds like it places me pretty far back in the shipping queue so the end of May is probably going to be when I see the items I paid for back in August.  Price was good but the wait is a pain.
