It's not a miniature, though. It's more of a McFarlane action figure-sized statue.ZombieRoboNinja said:They already have/had a thingy where you could have a mini made of your ACTUAL WOW CHARACTER, complete with equipment. You can almost HEAR the cackling of mad glee as they lure back in the Penny Arcade guys and like 2 million others...

Which is a ripoff of D&D. Which is a ripoff of Tolkien. Who stole everything he ever did from The Marvellous Land of Snergs.theredrobedwizard said:I think the real humor in this situation is that Warcraft is a direct ripoff of Warhammer.
StarFyre said:i think the difference is..the people who like warhammer (and 40k), they like modelling, etc.
I don't know a single warhammer player who would rather buy prepainted, low quality models vs the nicer ones that are available by GW and especially forgeworld. Yes, it takes more time and money...but if thats a problem, either way, you shouldn't have started the hobby or you will switch over.
I think the Warcraft game will do very well..but it will get many people from the groups that play DDM, the reaper prepainted model game, etc...and take from there, but very few true warhammer/40k fans, since they'd want to do their own stuff.
