Since most people can‘t get where I am coming from:
As a 3D Artist you try to recycle assets since it saves time. So let‘s say you have one base-mesh for a human body which you re-use, but then you redo parts of it (face mostly). Same goes for smaller assets which mostly stay the same.
usually you change those base models to suit your client’s needs and to give your client a unique model.
What you are seeing with the flesh eater Courts is just randomly placing already made assets, mostly not even changing them (I assume each of that models took about 3-4 hours in average. The throne took longer since the bones had to be placed, the goblet took shorter since you can do that with one array modifier...). I am already counting in the time it took to make them 3D printable.
You simply would not do what GW did, it‘s insolent, lazy and just cheap.
they‘re a 2 Billion GBP Company which uses cheap „tricks“ you would expect from a shady Chinese business.
Bow after knowing that and also hugely disliking the way it looks I am also aware that they will sell it for the usual price since they sell „premium“ products (what exactly was premium about those FeC spells again?).
so what do I expect: premium Products, which this isn‘t and there is no justification for it.
this is somewhat insulting to me especially since I didn‘t expect that from „new GW“.
