Do you have friends to play with? It seems silly to shelf them in the attic. Nu-Warhammer might be dumb as shit but that doesn't stop you and mates from playing and ignoring the new stuff.
My mates and I still play 8th edition and drink beers and Games Workshop never sees a dollar from us.
1/5th of the price? If you have the right setup it's closer to 1/64 depending on what you print. There are 1:1 Photogrammetry scans for most of the models if you know where to look or proxies that match the rest of the range.
The problem is mostly the 3D printing itself and that's from someone who printed a full 2000pts Lumineth army for Warhammer. The resins are pretty gnarly and you need to have a dedicated exhaust system or a room you don't step in because of the VOCs. The parts are also consumable (FEP films, LCD screens, etc) and you need to take apart the printers to replace them and they're not cheap.
It's a fantastic tool but it's far from threatening Game Workshop's stock, at least in its current stage.
It cooled off a while ago during 9th edition but I was still collecting miniatures waiting for the kids to grow. I really wanted to build a grey knights army, I liked the psycher vs anti-psycher + templar / medieval knight esthetics.
On the up side I get to save money.
