Subject: Main difference between FW Resin and GW plastic??
clively wrote: Although some people claim resin allows you to get more detail the reality is that this only happens if the designers actually go that far.
Actually that's either a myth born from buyer's regret, or FW designers never go for even something as good as plastics. It's painfully obvious with new plastic HH minis, where GW models have actual cloaks, FW minis have shapeless blobs roughly hewn from tank armour. FW backpacks lack vents and detail, then there are infamous upside down, grip-less bolters, etc, etc...
To be honest the "finer" detail of Resin over plastic is much more clear when you go to boutique-esque resin models of other parties like Mierce, Kingdom Death, etc...
You can have the comparisons of Kingdom Death resin vs plastic to see clearly what are the advantages of resin.
For me at least , ignoring how much Peregrine loves to exagerate it, I find plastic much more appropiate for gaming pieces, and good plastic sprues and models require much less work (And not only work but the quality of the work, metal and resin is super frustrating to work with).
I think the KD plastics and resins are still fairly comparable for detail.
