Sad news for anyone who plays MRRF. However if we want new and interesting sculpts, (and we do!) it makes sense that occasionally the catalogue has to be trimmed. Otherwise in a few years we will have a huge sprawling unplayable mess. It is good that they gave warning, and hopefully they will have a nice send off. I think Infinity needs an non-ITS legal Mercenary faction, where they can retire all the old profiles. Leftover drifters from days of yore . . . It does make me think that I might want to download and archive a copy of army builder, just in case in a few years I want to return to the way things were.
It is a pity when a faction gets cut, but CB could always get back and redo MRRF when they have more time and resources to spare. I was kinda hoping for MRRF resculpts but after this news, I decided to stop collecting any non-nomad armies from now on. (and I do own most minies beside toha, I never liked the plant dudes)
