Definitely prefer plastic to metal.

Much easier to work with, models less prone to falling over, and less likely to warp.

I find with metal that often if a part of the model is warped or bent, it's basically impossible to get it properly straight again.

I'm certainly not a huge fan of resin miniatures but I have to say that I much prefer them to metal minis. Assembling big metal kits is just too much effort in my opinion. I'm so happy that someone else painted and assembled my Sammael (bought if off eBay), I would have lost my gak trying to assemble a mini like that. Having to drill holes and insert pins into pieces instead of just, you know, gluing them, is just annoying.

I hope that in the future all kits will be in plastic, even Sisters. I understand that a lot of people like metal minis too but for me if there are any options I'll take them.
