Why couldn't their first business go hand in hand with these?

Well, you're not alone - I also think metals and plastics could be produced by the same company. Especially that I liked their metal minis, and I find their prepainted stuff (for confrontation) totally disgusting.

At least disgusting for somebody who kner Rackham as a manufacturer of so fine metal minis!

Because they are just to greedy for the fast money, unfortunatly.
Since PPP is, according to R, a huge sucess i doubt they will ever look back.
They also said that now and then one metal mini for a special character may appear on a future release, but nothing compared with what we were used to...
The hobby lost one of its best companies unfortunatly.
Also theres a huge argument from those that stick with the PPP option, you can repaint it

ridiculous i know.

you can repaint it but you cannot have the quality of castings you had with their metal minis

sad but true - we lost one great company.

and I know why Ana is so disappointed: she painted quite a lot of their sculpts and as far as I know she really enjoyed it...

There will always be people who buy it. People who love to game, but hate to paint, fanboys, people with little free time on their hands... etc

A close friend of mine bought AT-43 because he can't paint that good. The standard of a AT-43 mini, is still better than his painting.

But I doubt the sales of prepainted stuff makes up for the loss of al the hobbyists out there.
