...mainly because of the rule against 3rd party parts.

For me a lot of the hobby is the artistic license you have when it comes to your armies and while gw products allow you to do a lot they can’t cover everything so I do now and again get a few 3rd party parts and my local gw says hat for me to play on there tables it has to be 100% gems product.

This really sucks because while I do buy 3rd party parts I also buy a hell of a lot of gw box sets and with the price hike inbound it’s not financially feasible to buy a whole boxset just for a few parts when I can get similar parts that go better with what I want my army to look like at 3rd party sites.
