So there's this:

Right out of leftfield; note that the people on this site don't want the 40K scale models. They want the toy-sized ones. ("The detail they're getting, even on small 30mm pieces, is pretty damn good, though you can also get larger 6-inch pieces that are obviously way cooler.")
Now, this is a Kickstarter, so it may or may not succeed. But the technology's out there now. How long until it advances to the point where it could potentially threaten GW?
And might they offer a similar "Print Your Own Model" thing? Say a character designer built into their website. You load up the parts exactly as in a standard computer RPG, only instead of gaming on the computer, the piece is printed and sent to you as a bespoke piece.
How many thousands would they charge?
I don't see it happening 'officially' for a while; GW are on anything but the cutting edge, technologically speaking. Still, there's no reason it shouldn't happen in the future...
