A few 40k options for the Warhammer boycotters.

[Bray of Cats]

I fully support your boycott, but will not be part of it, so here is some options for you modelwise:

> https://victoriaminiatures.com/
Very Imperium focused, but does have an Ork section. They have many guard-like regiments, ab-humans. You can mix and match parts, there is male and female options. Bitz and paint stuff there too.

> https://zealotminiatures.com/product-category/sci-fi/
Has a smaller sci-fi section, but is where you can get some of female bewba Tau. I would say has better Vesbid than WH. Bitz there too.

> https://wargameexclusive.com/shop/
Has a bit of everything really, but be careful, there are nude modals and clear not codex approved stuff. Lots of bitz, including WH compatible conversion kits. For your bewba Necron dreams! Felinid heads lol! Why is the cat women so thick?

If you can think of any other options to help with the boycott, feel free to post below.

Tiddies on a Necron? Straight to horny jail. XD

I'll add to this since I'm pissed off at the price-hikes.

Fantastic medieval miniatures but they've recently been doing good stuff with their sci-fi lines. The Reptilian Overlords "Spacenam" commando guys are better Catachan proxies than the actual outdated Catachan sculpts from GW that look like they've all got extra chromosomes.

Dark Legion Market, Sartoza, Dark Miniatures and Black Legion Market are all just straight-up recasts operating in China, Russia, and the Ukraine. I'd stick with the Chinese companies because the war going on in Ukraine, unless you just really want to support one side or another and don't care about the potential for insane lead times you can't really complain about because "well we're in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ war, so..."

EDIT: The problem with the pricehikes is that they're always under-exaggerated. They're like "oh it's just gonna be a few extra bucks" but those increases get insane with the higher-end models that are already incredulously priced. They recently jacked up the price of a resin Mastodon tank to $610 from like $400ish. Why? Because they added plastic spontoons.

Plastic tank guns on a mostly-resin tank kit gotta be worth an extra $200+ right?

It doesn't matter where you fall politically or whether or not you support/hate whatever lore changes GW is doing to refuse to keep playing ball with these predatory-towards-fans consumer practices. They've obliterated whatever goodwill they've made with Rogue Trader and Boltgun with me.

Thank you for the input, not sure putting recasts suggestions here is a good idea, but the rest sounds solid.

GW deserves mass-scale tabletop piracy,

Go full-on rogue and get a 3D printer. I've been using the Anycubic Photon Mono for a few years now (it's been fantastic) but later this summer I'll be upgrading to the Anycubic Photon D2 which uses a newer technology called digital light processing (DLP) to achieve even higher precision prints.

Probably, but I'm not directly linking the sites. What people do with their google searches is between them and God (and multiple government agencies)

$399? That's less than what you'd pay for two Combat Patrols lmao

Have you used any of these recast websites? some of them are based in ukraine or russia and might be affefted by the war, so many people are so close to the breast on these websites and there isnt much user feedback with these websites.
