Rumour: GW to switch from metal to resin?

Plastics will stay as is but the metal models are being recalled and to be recast in resin?

Link


The GW games i play are predominantly metal: Warmaster, BFG, and LotR. I have an all metal SoB and Khand army already.
I wonder if these game systems will switch as well.

Apparently they are removing them in waves, some of which were already re-rendered in plastic, with the first ones to be removed being these after the break
Updated list of discontinued metal LoTR models- a lot of popular models.......
