They could always offer a service like that which allows you to pick from existing parts. I'm a little shocked they're not already doing this as a premium service.

That'd mean employing people to collect all the parts together. Also existing parts don't include lots of different arms and legs so you can change the pose on each figure.

GW has no need of it. Unless 3D printing becomes more efficient than injection moulding. I was thinking of having figures that you can change the pose or weapons, add or remove kit etc. Imagine being able to individualise your own company commander on the GW website. They then have it printed and posted to you. Hmm. Interesting concept. There's a few flaws. The issue with 3D printers is that A) I want one. B) they can't mass produced stuff fast enough C) thus either I need injection moulding (expensive), or 3D print/resin mould. D) 3D print resin mould is a good idea... E) Woz! How much is printer of finest detail?

How much is printer of finest detail? They are getting faster carbon3d.com/ (scroll down for the time comparison) One of the best home printers I've seen is - www.kudo3d.com/gallery/ at $3000 it isn't cheap but when the Chinese clones appear you'll be looking at $1000. I was thinking of it as a sort of premium service from GW sometime in the future. A browser based app that lets you select a figure, you can then change the figures pose by moving the limbs, body and head (even change the facial expressions). Then you can add weapons equipment etc. Save it, order it and GW get it printed and sent to you. Check this out - sandboxr.com/

That Kami Army is about the same quality as I could do with GS. And I am terrible.
