Putting together my Toad Dragon tonite, does seem to be more release agent than usual.

Learned from experience just to dump the pieces into a bucket of 3/4 water and 1/4 simple green and let it soak for a couple of days, then lighting clean with a soft brush and rinse. Gets it all off without much scrubbing. For our Games Day projects, I often have 5 buckets of FW pieces soaking in my bathroom. Annoys my wife.)

So lucky...what army is he used in again? Sorry, Im not that great with Fantasy.

It's used in a Warriors of Chaos or Daemon army.

I've actually been pondering buying Tamurkhan, mostly because I want the Toad Dragon itself as a scroll of binding creature. I love the model.

Just got the new Warhammer Forge book and very impressed - its not a small amount of money but iI think its well worth if -especially when yuo look at what you are getting for the price of two codexes / Army Books.

I have all the IA books as well - and they are lovely

Have some FW models but not huge amount and like the ones I have - lots of Battlefleet Gothic and IA/TA aircraft

I like what FW offers a lot. My Landraider is superexpensive now but with its extraarmour, multimelta Razorback turret and ImpFists door set just looks super spiffy and is thus my favorite model. Still, I would most likely never bother in buying a large complex kit from them as I am not keen on all the work involved even after you reclaimed defective parts. Saw that in the DE Tantalus a friend ordered just some weeks ago in our last order. Major warpage in parts that I am doubtful you can straighten out precisely like the large Aethersails. I had to send FW pictures (couldn´t describe the defects well enough over the phone) and so far they haven´t replied (only yesterday so still patient).

Well, my experiences with their customer service have always been great. Sometimes you think they don't answer when in fact a whole new set is actually on the way to you.

If you really don't get any answer, post the pic on their fb wall and ask what you're supposed to do with that miscast.

How do you contact Forgeworld again? Can't seem to find their number anywhere...

Bottom of the frontpage, indeed slightly hard to spot amid everything else: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Contact.html.

Hot soapy water and a toothbrush (that you're not ever going to put in your mouth).

they do not sell the death korps commisar anymore... so weird... or has he gone to some other category? :p I love death korps and forgeworld alltogether. They might be expensive, way more than GW but at least they have some strange feel over their models which makes it all so good. They are yeah great. got my commisar, painted him up and every time I look at that guy I think, man I love forgeworld just for that!

I think I might have to sig this...

The Death Korps Commissars are currently being repackaged. The molds were worn out, so while they're being remastered FW is taking the opportunity to bundle them together. You'll be getting all 3 DKoK Commissars in one pack. The standing one drawing his sword, the standing one with his pistol drawn and looking menacing, and the Tank Commissar.

Inquisitor Solomon Lok and the Technical Servitor from the Anphelion Project book are undergoing the same 'repackaging' as the molds were worn out.

thanks!

Good to hear so, thought some things really dissapeared, like the tyranid shimneys, are they being repackaged as well?

Tyranid Chimneys and a lot of terrain are looked at being "redesigned".

They're going to be trying new terrain casting techniques to try to bring down prices, but no guarantees on what will or won't be made. They're apparently happy with how the RoB tile is selling and are looking at doing one RoB tile and one or two separate terrain pieces per book if they can manage it. They actually recently hired on a "terrain designer" as well, so they are taking this seriously.

Oh. Disclaimer:
This does not necessarily mean that the Spore Chimneys or other pieces will be brought back. The molds for those are effectively "ancient", and when they've come back onto the site for a short time it's because they've located unsold stock in their warehouses that they deemed acceptable for sale. They've destroyed quite a few which weren't acceptable for sale, from my understanding.

Well lets just hope for the best.

After all I love forgeworld!

Chalk up another good experience with Forgeworld.

During the Christmas rush, I placed an order late on December 1st for a Wight King BSB and Throne of Chaos. I checked their site for two days, and it was despatched on December 3rd, so I had little hope that I'd get it before Christmas. My order last year took 3 weeks from despatch date, but that was done far before the 'Christmas cutoff'.

My fiancee picked me up last night, and she had a huge brown box with her. 11 days from despatch to arriving in Australia during the Christmas rush. Awesome.

The Wight King has no miscasts that I can see. I was worried because the bottom of the back of the flag and the bottom of his skirt seemed roughly cast, but the reference pucture on their site is the same.

Throne of Chaos is a stunning book. I'll forgive the usual Forgeworld typos just on the quality of the actual book and art. Simply amazing.

I've just received an Elysian melta squad, a Krieg heavy mortar and a load of shotgun vets.

The only thing I noticed is that the shoulder pads for the Elysians are wafer thin.
Might be thinner than they are supposed to be but then they might not.
I don't know, they look fine.

My only issue isn't a ForgeWorld quality issue, I love the Elysians but I hate their helmets.

That means I am going to have to buy a ton of heads from somewhere,

My wish list on FW is over 600 quid at the moment and that doesn't include the duplicates I will need.

Where the heck do you get this info dude? I would be VERY interested to know - and to keep totally to myself if you divulged.

Does your Mom clean the Factory or something??

I love Forge World models. I have two Broadsides and four Crisis Suit models and haven't had one peoblem with them

More likely to bring down their COSTS. I doubt any savings will be passed on to customers.

Does this mean they might finally get around to joining the 21st century and will be employing a pressure-casting setup?
It would help to eliminate some of their more egregious casting issues.

Their Facebook page?

It's not exactly a trade secret.

Prices come down? I'll believe it when I see it.

Okay, put together my medusa from awhile back, and I have a problem. The gun shield is very warped, and the gun itself doesn't fit the gun shield. Either the gun in their picture has been lifted off the platform about 2 times the height mine is, or they've photoshopped it.

Instructions are very vague for most of the forgeworld stuff, which is one of my only quibbles.

Ah - I actually wasn't aware they had a Facebook page Kan.

Probably because I am fairly new to GrimDarkness, and using FB for anything other than keeping in touch with friends.

Thanks

It's okay, Akira. They certainly don't forget they have a FB page though--it's working fairly well for them too it seems, as people outside the UK with issues can post about it and then they get told to email the relevant information to them.

I did notice that the Inquisitor Solomon Lok and the Technical Servitor were gone from the list and wondered about that. Thanks from me and others for that info.I will be checking the fw fb page now.

Just put together my Infernal Command today. No flaws whatsoever, and great models.

Amazing quality models, never had an issue with their finecast. They are also quicker with deliveries than GW in my experiance. Love them.

Thatguy91 wrote:... never had an issue with their finecast...

They don't make finecast.

I really enjoyed all of the hilarity when Forgeworld shipped a couple of models on 'sprues', giving GW's mold technique a go, and everyone started screaming over them using finecast material.
