Why does the Steel Legion only come in metal?

>>54025188
Because of the way economies of scale works. It only makes sense for GW to produce a single range of multi part plastic kits per faction. Other flavors of the various factions, if they're present at all, are usually in the form of alternate color schemes or the like rather than entirely different models. GW's decision to drop metal meant that these smaller lines fell by the wayside.

If you want alternate miniatures, Warlord Games produces multi-part plastic kits for various WW2 and other historical periods in 40k's scale. You can make Soviets into Valhallans and their Boer War era Brits into Praetorians with basically no effort. You can say their lasguns are locally produced and look like historical rifles, or give them 40k lasguns. Not sure what would work for Steel Legion

oh

>>54025188
Because it's called "mechanized infantry."

>>54025188
Well, they ARE the Steel Legion

Sales gimmick "metal to the core" or some crap like that

>>54025188
Because despite GW doing stupid things to try to boost sales, they hate money.

>>54025188
Because it's the "Steel Legion!" Get it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
