RE: Rant on old miniatures

Owen, I can understand your displeasure regarding the mis-matched Miners, even if I do like the old guys better. It's possible we can work something out, if you like. I have 2 BFSP box sets-worth, and I would prefer to own a unit of the old metal ones.
 But 1994 is not, by standard calculations, 16 years ago. Not yet, anyway...

I'm not against the old
I'm not against the old miners per se, like I said. It just seems a little arrogant of GW to expect us to still buy models from 1994.
I don't actually need any more miners, I have a fiendish plan to cover that. I was merely using them as an example (Like you and the Steam Tank)Â
As to the 16 years, well, now you know why I am qualifed to teach Media and English, not maths. (actually, I realised I had it wrong about two hours after I wrote it...)
Abaddon
Abaddon would have to be close to the same age as the miners. I think that he is a great miniature, still one of my favourites.
He can't be replaced!Â
