Think of it like the hook-blade - it's an extension of games-workshop's modelling arm.

They produce models that go that little step further than the games-workshop studio. Their models look real, not showy [which ultimately makes them look more showy, but shush.]

The only problem for new modellers is this: the parts do not go together as you expect them to. By that, I don't mean the parts don't fit together, I mean don't expect super glue to work quickly - You will have to use epoxy putty. [I say epox because you might not use green stuff.]

Really? I've never had issues using superglue on Forgeworld stuff. They've needed pinning, like metal models, but superglue has worked fine.

Likewise, superglue is just fine provided you washed the parts (which you should be doing with all resins).

I love the conversion kits they do, added details kits, the extra's etc and am going to buy a few bits from there to see what they're like.

price wise they are a little pricey, but they do some cracking kit

How is their BFG stuff. Just ordered some Space marine Ships and probably should have asked here first...

I ordered some Grey Knight Cruisers and Gladius Frigates

Has anyone recently ordered rhino or land raider doors for FW? I'm hesitant to order them seeing as I've heard bad things but that was a while back and I am curious to see if the quality has improved.

Also, any info on the Venerable Dreadnought line and the LR spaced armour would be awesome.

They're still not so great for the older versions. The Minotaurs, Astral Claws, etc are all supposed to be pretty good.

Land Raider Spaced Armor is being remastered, last I heard.
Venerable Dreadnoughts--you need to be specific about. What info?

I'm looking at buying the Space Wolf Venerable Dread and basically 1 of each of the options. How are the weapons? How is the body? Are we talking high quality casts (like my Barracuda) or lower quality casts (like the aforementioned doors).

Woudl I better off (quality wise) buying the LR doors for my space wolves or should I go with the etched brass?

Last time around I ordered some fist doors, pretty sure they where rhino.

They seemed to be fine. They were for a friend I just looked to make sure they weren't miscast.

Their etched brass stuff is AMAZING though.

edit:
Have some questions of my own. I kinda wanna go all out on my next chimeras. Anyone have an experience with the doors, side armor, interior detail kits, and track guards and if they fit the new plastic kits?
