>>11218411Yeah, minis used to have very different poses. And so much variation aesthetically too! 40K used to feel so punk rock and freewheeling, like there were no limits to what you might find. The franchise also had a ton of goofy tongue-in-cheek humor at this time, poking fun at itself or general sci-fi tropes.
Now everything is so nailed-down and established, and you have nerds who will argue about the accuracy of rivets on the near-identical looking minis. It's become so boring to me. I still buy the figures because they aesthetically remind me of the franchise I loved, but it's not the same anymore. It's gone from feeling like an infinite sandbox, to a small room with a cup of sand in the corner. I guess that's what happens when you get big and make a ton of money.
