Hard to fathom a hobby that relies so much on kitbashing would be so slavishly beholden to one company's overpriced plastic when they could just use a male figurine (or even the older model) and run the game with the statline specified by rules.
On the surface, I agree. However, while I do think GW would be OK with subbing an original Creed in for his daughter, for a lot of 40k tournaments GW will flat-out ban people if you show up with 3rd party or custom models, and a number of GW stores will kick you out if you try to play with non-official models.
Yes, but this is a problem with the whole dynamic of the 40k fanbase. Manbabies that are passive and have accepted decades of abuse by GW have created this problem. If the fanbase were more active stewards of the 40k product and its direction & events, then they wouldn't be at the mercy of GW's craven behavior.
