So if we don't want them in plastic are we allowed to get a refund, since the expectation was that they'd be in resin?

As I quoted above, it was announced in the KS that, where possible, kits would be upgraded to hard plastic.

That's great. They should have told us. I don't recall them doing so prior to the pledge manager ending. In fact, in this thread is the first I've heard.

EDIT: It does appear to be in update 107. I'm trying to see if this was before the pledge manager closed.

It's in the FAQ on the main page, they can't change that after the campaign is over iirc.

Well considering they didn't announce it until July 12 and the campaign ended in March, I'd say that's wrong.

Yes, Update 107 says specifically that all the mercs will be made in plastic.

The FAQ on the main KS page - from before the campaign finished - said their goal was to do more in plastic if possible. This means that we all were made aware before the KS ended that there was a possibility that some or all resin models would be done in plastic instead.

Again, that isn't specific at all. At all. If I had known prior to the pledge manager ending that they'd be plastic I wouldn't have purchased all 8. As it is, the update came after the pledge manager ended. I want a refund for them. I'm hoping Outlaw Sean can tell me the route to go about that.

Pretty simple, and not unreasonable IMO.

Not specific? It says exactly what happened was their goal. High enough demand for some minis resulted in it being worthwhile to produce them in hard plastic - so they did. *shrugs* not something I care to argue about though.

Do you really not like the look of those plastic minis? They look to have very high detail whilst having the much nicer properties of plastic rather than resin.

I bought them with the understanding they'd be resin. They look "okay". The detail is more shallow than I was expecting, as I thought they'd be resin, so they don't match up with my expectations. Further, they're too expensive based on the rest of the line in plastic, especially when the hired hands are cheaper for more models in the same material.

Plus, on that sun totem model. You get the awful flat bottom underneath the skirt, something that wouldn't have been the case with a resin cast.

Can't wait to see how they compare to DFG stormtroopers regarding height. As I use those for my IG, I could really see myself using the Wayward Eight for conversions.

Outlaw_Sean: are you allowed to link to the Outlaw store in your sig?

I can line them up next to basically any Tyranid and many Space Marines. Pick something.

Edit: For the record I somehow didn't know that they were "supposed" to be resin instead of plastic, but I'm absolutely happy they're plastic and wouldn't trade them for resin.

If you do have DFG Eisenkern that would be golden, but any Space Marine on a regular base (not ½inch of basing too) would be swell!

I'll do it tomorrow (Saturday). Any requests or is a blue tac-ed River good enough?

So don't expect to get it answered for 2-4 weeks?

You beat me to it there cincy!

But, if you ever do get an answer, please let us know.

I am more than happy to get them in "Hard Plastic" IF the detail is still good, though I honestly do prefer resin ("Real Resin") for character models, and stuff that isn't meant to be only in a single pose.

So, I can certainly understand your dissatisfaction.

I cropped and cut one of rigelds pics so it could be nicely added inline and more easily see the detail. Already said my piece on the rest, so I'll just say how much I really like this plastic ; )

Sorry it took so long - this isn't an assembled model, just cut the body and blu-taced to a 40mm GW base.



Spoilered the full size image - WARNING LARGE

Thanks Rigeld! Looks to be taller than GW stuff if she's standing straight and isn't ridiculously heroic scale so it'll probably be out of place in 40k. Looks really good though! I love the proportions of the mini.

Yeah - she's as straight as I could get her. All the other models require more assembly than I have time for right now but I might blutac Mal together to see how tall he is.

Wasn't having a go at your assembly in case that wasn't clear, it's just that she's crouching. If she was standing upright she'd be a lot taller than she is. Wouldn't say no to any more pics you choose to take ; )

How bad is the flat surface under her skirt? Does it go straight across like that?

That's not creepy at all ; p /jk

It appears that way :-\

Yes, it does. I'm okay not seeing her underwear.

Blah. That's awful. It has nothing to do with seeing her underwear.

OTOH, if you're using Eisenkern stormtroopers as IG, then it's fine, I think. As long as, even a-kimbo like that, she can fit on a 25mm, I'm fine with it.

Mal is about the same scale - slightly taller than a SM. I can't get the blu tac to look good and I don't want to give the wrong impression of the mini so I'm not going to post a picture.

I got my package on Thursday night. I'm almost done assembling them... I love it. Sure, not as poseable as some kits, but the dynamism is gorgeous. WWX, you did some great job on those chaps.

I'm going to recommend we use those for our Rogue Trader games. They look very baroque.

Nice! Wouldn't say no to some pics... ; )

Dammit. When is mine coming. Grrrrr

Ask, and ye shall receive, good sir. Now, the lighting at the Mezz'art this morning was what it was, I only had a couple of minutes before opening shop this morning.







Yes, that is genuine old, fat grey cat hair on the minis. That stuff sticks to foam like crazy.

Second batch.








Those are not auto-adjusted, they turn out better. Does anyone know how I can switch that off on my pictures, or do I have to reload?

They do look nice - thanks for the pictures!

Also, are you using non-standard WWX bases?!?

Indeed. I used WGF 25mm bases. The WWX bases are very big all things considered.
