What are TG's opions on Chinese recasting of 40k stuff?
I recently found sisters of battle at $1 USD per standard bolter babe and special weapons/command at $4-5 per fig, so I'm tempted.

Look for the best recaster on reddit's yoyhammer for your figures.
I love them. It gives poorfags like me a chance to play.
>resin recasts of metal only models
ugh

>>54498740
Already on that chief
And why ugh?
i would be more inclined to buy the officials if there was a new cast in the past 10+ years
FW doesnt sell the Lucius Warhound Titan anymore, but a chinaman does.
Who do you think is going to get my money?

True. I was more asking about models that are still available but that are exorbitantly priced. Currently an SoB squad costs $80 USD not including shipping. From this Chinese dude I can get 8 squads for that.
Recaster are a classic problem of Piracy.
Since your service suck piracy comes to fill your failing services.
For fuck sake recaster has almost the same customer service than GW or FW, as in re-sending miscast crap.
That said, beside FW, metal and failcast, you are better of buying plastic.

There have never been plastic sisters of battle
>>54499655
>Celestine
>twins
>3 plastic models right there
The point is, if it has a plastic version do not bother with recast, just get the plastic version.
Maybe some tanks, but thats it. For Resin and metal just get a recaster.

And that plastic model is only available in a $100 boxed set, versus say 20 from a recaster.
And besides. Celestine was a campaign release, she does not denote a plastic sisters infantry release

Point take, but there are plastic SoB.
So yah go for recasters and third parties with SoB, because GW sure as hell is not going to support them outside of half assed rules.
My general rule of thumb is that if GW doesn't allow me to purchase something through my LGS, they clearly don't want me buying from them. If I can't support the place where I play, I'm not supporting the company that is preventing me from doing so.
Unfortunately, I do play Sisters and have since 4th, and I'm autistic about wanting metal models because the rest of the army is metal. It's a curse, really. However, I'm drowning in FW bits for my chaos/HH stuff. Tons of weapons and shit. Hell, Alpharius sells MKIV assault Marine arms separately now, which is fucking awesome.
As a third worlder this is the only way I can get my hands on these types of things.

Due to poor? or retarded costume taxes?

Op here. I'm from the USA, but friends in Australia tell me it's common for fully recast armies to be seen in games clubs.
>>54500025
If I were to import, because my currency is shit, things would cost 4 times what it does in America, plus the shipping and if I get unlucky and customs caughts it and makes me pay tariffs it would pretty much cost another 2/3 of what I was paying.
Or I could buy locally and spend twice what I would for the import.
It is not that I don't have the money, I actually do, it is just too much when I can buy a recast for a significantly small fraction of what I would pay.

Fucking link that shit, anon. I regret selling my Sisters when I went off to college. Would love to get my girls on the table again.

Subbreddit called yoyhammer. Reviews and general banter.
You can find the guy I'm using's catalogues via the search functions. Search for "Z's catalogues"
As to contacting him....well you are going to have to do detective work. Because certain recasters have been shut down in the past the community generally follows the fight club mentality.
