This week I noted news from:


Wargames Atlantic 


Wyrd Games 


TTCombat 


Warlord Games 


And this inspired me to take a look at how wargames miniatures manufacturers have approached the question of materials technology over the last thirty years, how it's changed and why; and to look ahead and ask how the new push for desktop 3d printers is going to change the market for wargames miniatures.
