Ok,
there have been rumours (which started about two weeks ago) that GW possibly stops using metal for some its minis. These rumours claim that GW might use resin instead.
This thread is for discussing this rumour. More information on the current state of affairs can be found here:

-------------------------------------
Personally, I hope that rumour is a fake. Most of all because resin is harmful when working with it due to the fact that resin dust may cause cancer (when inhaled) and I just love to convert minis which I will most certainly stop doing with resin minis.
Also, I read that the basis for resin is crude oil (not sure about that, though). Since the price for crude oil is on the rise, I don't see how GW would be able to maintain a stable price for its (resin ) products.
There's more but let's get this discussion started.
