I play Blood Angels though and have most of the characters already so there is not much I really need from the range and as such it will be awhile I pick any up.<br /><br /> <br />There are two things I am wondering about though. First what do you think they will be like for converting?

(I'm crossing my fingers on that one)<br /> A side by side comparison for the RXB crew member vs the fine cast would be handy for most who don't argoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524138449803169230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-27486208671517839382011-05-28T16:41:54.897+01:002011-05-28T16:41:54.897+01:00I added a poll to my blog (http://twilight40k.blog...I added a poll to my blog (http://twilight40k.blogspot.com) to log the qaulity of your finecast purchases so please come by and vote.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-52703184931079210852011-05-28T10:37:17.717+01:002011-05-28T10:37:17.717+01:00Anonymous, I have had problems with metal models d...Anonymous, I have had problems with metal models doing this, if you get a blocked air channel you get a weird crystalline cave. I am sending the pics to GW to get a replacement crewman and hopefully replacements for the missing voids. Will let you know what their customer service is like on this issue.

I've never had a miscast metal mini like that.<br /><br />They advertise those models as the best thing since the invention of sliced bread and if they command premium prices I want premium product.

The same problems now exsist between the two manufacturing companies ie: the Cons that you outlined here. These kind of problems are going to be a massive pain in the ass for the younger or less experienced modelers (as Forgeworlds stuff is only recomended for 'expert' models) Now The GunGravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227627485676956592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-18542759756211484442011-05-28T03:38:29.396+01:002011-05-28T03:38:29.396+01:00What about the hand holding the scroll.
