the forgeworld exorcist is indeed cheaper in the uk than the GW one.

By about £6 if you include FW's postage.

Gathering the Informations.

The Forge World Exorcist is pretty much cheaper and better all around though.

Plus it won't dent the floor if it falls.

Yeah but what is the fun with models that you can't make your opponent bleed with if you chuck it at them?

That's my biggest dissapointment with the newer GW stuff. I rembmer when a Dreadnought was a deadly weapon.

Anything can make you opponent bleed.

FW Exorcist may be cheaper in price, but its also cheaper in looks. GW Exorcist is the only kit GW ever made that made me feel the end result justifies the pain of assembling it >:'D

Meh... when it comes down to TLOS and transport, FW's version wins.

Also, the only reason I would buy the GW version now ($AUD 100!) is for a pre-Heresy Emp Children Whirlwind.

Also worth pointing out the FW one doesn't come with the decorative bits on the front and side.

I'm waiting to get some of those decorative plate things from Scibor before building my one, better than having the doors on the side and will make it tie in more with the front and back plate.
