Forge World thread. For those who want to discuss their outlandishly

>>55167623
I went through an inquisition phase a few years ago and bought some of those brass etched inquisition sheets, and the rhino and land raider doors.

Then this year I was at the LVO for an AoS tourney and bought the chaos dwarf character.

That's it.

I'm tempted to buy some Shadow Specters or Corsairs.

>>55167965
they're selling new doors soon

I bought a Chinese recast of a Thunderbolt Strike Fighter and I regret it immensely. I should have just waited one more paycheck and bought the official model but I was far too impatient.

After a few more paychecks I'll buy the official model, and possibly a Macharius model.

>>55167623
So far I bought two primarchs, eldar avatar and shadow specters.
I don't get the obsession people have with the barely modified generic marines and slightly modified dreadnoughts which are 90% of their releases though.

>>55168027
Which primarchs?

>>55167998
eh i will likely pass. my inquisition phase has passed and i feel no drive to work on it or finish my projects. mostly due to the very likely scenario of a pure inquisition force becoming more and more a thing of the past

>>55168017
The Thunderbolt is really old, so you might get one that needs a couple replacement parts from FW or a lot of sorting out, but someone just got one on /tg/ from FW a month ago or so and said it was flawless.

Always makes me laugh when recastfags try to pretend their garbage is "as good or better" as FW, or "you just don't know the right recaster".

>>55168063
Lorgar and Angron.
Fuck loyalists.

>>55168068
>you just don't know the right recaster
That's right though

New Fimir when.

>>55168068
Yeah I won't lie, I bought into the meme of "as good or better" and when I received my model I was immediately disappointed with the overall quality; mold lines that ran too deep, pieces wouldn't line up quite right, bubbles, etc.

Like I had bought recasts of some Kriegers before and they were pretty fine minus a few almost unnoticeable spots here and there, so I figured the recaster was pretty good on vehicles.
Boy was I wrong. I'm never buying recasts of vehicles again.

>>55168099
Z?

>>55168076
Eh, Alpharius model soon, hopefully.

>>55168027
Marine spam emphasis over unique models is lame

>>55168109
Yeah. It was a pain in the ass to get a hold of them, and I initially thought it was pretty good, but as I was putting it together it became obvious it was a bad recast. Maybe I got unlucky, but either way it left a very bad taste in my mouth.

>>55168122
Only dumbasses buy from Z. Either go with CCON or if you're lucky enough, CDR.

>>55168129
I have no qualms with admitted I'm new to buying recasts and I'll freely admit I'm a dumbass, but as I said, the kriegers were pretty good so I had little reason to believe the vehicles weren't.
Maybe I'll give recasts another shot with Alpharius, or the previous two you've mentioned, but I'll play it a little safe for the time being when it comes to vehicles. I know I'll have to get recasts for the Tauros though, since they recently cut the non-venator model out of their catalog.

>>55168122
Then no wonder it was shitty lol. I would buy from him only for crashed vehicles terrain. Go with CCON, Alpharius or the new ones.
>>55168129
CDR? Never heard of that one

>>55167623
I've got a pretty significant HH admech collection, which isn't with the times in the current meta but I love it, and a decent sized chaos dwarves force. I'm considering getting shar'tor because I guess fireglaive dwarfs aren't battle line any more? I really enjoy the bull centaur sculpts and their scale is in line with the new AoS range so they don't look too out place. Can't say so much for the dwarfs themselves but thats pretty much the whole non-stormcast/ironjaw/KO/syl/fire dwarf range.

Looking forward to that ludicrously huge Khorne dragon, if nothing else for another Tamurkhan style campaign book. It would lose a lot of its charm not set in WHFB setting but that first nurgle book was so excellent.

Not too stoked for anything in 40k right now, there's nothing other than maybe some rapiers that I'm looking at. 8th did a nice job of tuning the game back down to a more traditional 40k scale, with super heavies costed a little more conservatively and the new wound table I'm pretty pleased with it. But other than the leviathan dread there's nothing out of FW for csm that is making me raise my eyebrows.

What would I need for starting a HH army? The Lego Custard have gorgeous models.

>>55168099
>>55168109
Only ever bought my Kasrkin from Z because GW doesn't even make them anymore. Casts were OK, no horror show but they needed cleaning up. Thought about buying a couple gunships from him but I think I'd rather just get it from FW.

>>55168192
That jet pack riptide was pretty based. I liked the blastoff/reentry rules it had.

The Yvahra? Yeah it is sweet too, a beast. You can see it in the OP image flying over the titan

>>55168223
Who would you suggest, Alpharius? Used Z for my Kasrkin because Alpharius didn't have them.

>>55168244
That diorama is pretty dope. I really enjoy seeing the FW modernizations of the old titan legion color schemes. I think these are the first Legio Atarus dudes not just in the section of a HH book.

Alpharius is actually sculpting new Kasrkins with pieces of dangerous environments Cadians and green stuff. So basically he's doing more for them than GW. CCON or Miranda are also a safe bet, there was this one guy who also recasted metal stuff

I wonder when FW will make an Emperor model
Literally the most must have 40k model possible

Alpharius' stuff is the shit. So glad I found that guy.

BMM is my other goto one. Especially for older stuff. Pricey, but I've yet to buy anything from them with so much as a moldline on them.

>>55168870

>>55168877
FW

>>55168877
Not MI his moulds are really worn

>>55168889
I bought some. The quality was subpar. Also, since they stopped supporting them to shat out more marines, FW can go to hell
>>55168891
Ok thanks anon :)

>>55168877

Alpharius definitely. I've seen some of Miranda's and they're good, but Alpharius has a much better eye for detail and overcoming the problems with some of the scullts like thin cloaks etc.

The Grenadiers I bought were indistinguishable from FW once painted. In fact the pipes from the masks were actually more defined than my originals.

No seriously. He only interacts with clients on a single reddit page that you need to be invited to. He then selects people to open up to from that page. I've been there for months and am still not in his special circle.

Keep posting reviews from other recasters and giving good feedback. He'll get to you eventually.

>>55167623
I bought an Eldar Phoenix bomber and had to get some stuff replaced. It's pretty cool but I never got to use it in a game because at the time it's rules made it nigh untouchable and more killy than a fire prism. Still have it sitting in a display case along with a couple of other 40k models (that haven't seen a game in years due to friends dropping out and me not having time and/or gaming group).

>>55167977
I wanted to start a corsair band so bad, then I realized that it would be fucking expensive, that I have basically no game possibilities and that transporting that army would be a pain in the ass with all the modifications and gubbins stuck on those space pirates.

Any other IGfriends wish we could go back to the days of FW releases being variant Leman Russ turrets and new IG regiments?

It kills me that every new FW email is just another Marine in such and such mark power armour.

I might get one of those lancer knights and I'm picking up a load of Hoplites when they release rules for them again.

No rules for hoplites has fucked my Melee Admech list hard.

Considering his complete autistic devotion, his death was like losing 3-4 actual people. Not surprising to hear that they're having problems

I bought chink recasts of some characters like the mk IV techmarine off of ebay and they were perfect

I bought a Carab Culln from forge world and it had a fucking slipped mold line on the leg
in addition to my order of a vraks renegade torsos pack and a weapons pack being miss-sent as just two torso upgrade packs.

Shipping from china also took 1/3 of the time it took to get items shipped from forge world, and I live on the east coast and didnt get expedited shipping either

chinks have always been as good or better than forge world in my expirience, but I'm sure I have just been particularly lucky/unlucky so I cant say it like its a fact.

pic related isnt the same carab culln, but its my other version of him. (I got pic related from FW though and didnt have any major issues)

Got all the Hobbit character releases thus far.

Yes. I'm planning on laying down some money for a Chaos Dwarfs/Legion of Azgorh force for AoS. I never had the money to throw at it when WHFB was around, but I like the models a lot, so I figured better late than never.

WELL FUCK.

Probably for the best... The spark just isn't there any more, even though I have generally positive opinions of the new edition of 40k. I just hope my buddy will get off his ass and finally buy my 5k of Chaos off me.

>>55167623

I've gotten a couple XV-9 suits and a Secutarii Peltast upgrade kit. And a whole lot of random FW bits from FW bits resellers on eBay. The suits have some bubbles, the Secutarii are flawless, and the FW bits are mostly good, but Heresy Grav-Guns fucking suck considering how delicate those weird bulb knobs on them are.

>>55168068

I'll admit that CCON, while maybe not so good at larger models (prone to bending/miscasting), does VERY good detailed character. Got a DDoK Commissar with sword and it is just as CRISP as FW. Larger models tend to warp, though. Unfortunately, it's also probably the only place you'll find an Arvus Lighter at this point.


I'm considering getting some Solar Auxilia for a small project, but currently only Forge World has both the Command Section and Infantry that I'll need.

When will FW give up on 30k?

>>55171502
Our group decided to try some Russin recaster someone found. Website looks dodgy as fuck. But half the price of retail for some plastics and free shipping for orders over 30USD was worth a gamble.

The stuff ended up being better than FW in quality, and arrived 2-4 weeks earlier than they said it would. Plus since they label it as a gift I don't get stung for import tax like when I buy some stupid amount from FW.

Whilst is may not be China recast prices they have a good range of stuff and are quick.

>>55173964
There are only issues if you are going to be sanding the resin, or directly inhaling the small bits of flash you cut off. As long as you wash your hands after working on the stuff if you are cutting it you will be fine.

I mean we were at higher risk of issues from back during 2nd Ed when everything was made with lead in it.

Pretty much yes. Just try not to get resin flash/scrapings everywhere and you should be fine. The issues come from getting it in your lungs like asbestos.

It is only the shittiest of resins you needs to worry about micro particles with. FW stuff is fine since they have to adhere to some draconian EU standards.

You need to be invited by an existing member.

He's got a neat little point reward system as incentive to buy from him, but I hate how he has a 600 yuan minimum per order. I also have the distinct feeling that his DKoK casts were copies of Z's as they have the same exact type of mold line and casting issues (Though his is a lot more solid feeling and less prone to snapping).

But if you're looking for some of the stuff released that's pre-2015ish, you'll find a lot of his old stock to be pretty shoddy in quality (assembling his old stock vendetta versus his newer HH vehicles was like night and day), so you're not really missing much.

>>55168170

How does a guy establish contact with Alpharius? He did a big PR thread on Reddit. I messaged him. Nothing. Is it one of those stupid situations where he only sells to people who bought from him back in the Yoymart days or something?

>>55168188

GW prices are pretty fucked when it's the same price to buy a FW knight as it is to buy a renegade knight off the GW store

i still need to paint this but i can't decide on a colorscheme. it would be nice for my purple not blood angels marines or 30k iron warrios. in the pic is wip but it's ready for primer in my display cabinet atm

this was not my first resin kit, but it was my first from fw. the mk-2b kit was ok, it had some shrink and a warped panel but nothing serious. the extra armor upgrade was a joke, warped bad edges/detail, thick casting so it will not fit between the exiting armour, shrinkitch and it would have been alot of work to make it fit a stock lr. i bought it to convert so i cut it up anyway. it took a lot of work and for the cost in fw parts alone i could have bought two normal land raiders but who cares when even without paint you look this cool

still on my wishlist is a spartan, maybe when they are at Spiel this year

also sorry for blogpost

Are FW models ever problem free?

>>55189512
idk, it is my first. or is this a rethorical question? i'm more a modeller and painter than a gamer. i like kitbashing and converting so i bought this to challenge my hobbyskills. it's doing that perfectly and i did not see onther one like this yet.

are they worth their money? that's something else, they do say 'for experienced modellers' so if you're willing to put in some more effort they have really great models. but for the price they are asking you would expect some more consitent quality. idk, i had the money and decided to treat myself to some fw so it was worth it for me (that's how they get you)

there's always the chinaman
