With a return trip to wherever you bought them from I'd suggest. They are horrible.

Can I suggest skipping forward 10 years to the age where you don't really care about what people say on the internet. Studies show that it decreases your anger about life in general by 37%. - Flashman

Oh, what a shame!!
All that advestising, just to see this horrible model....
Maybe the first shot?
I think GW should take into account some kind of.. retirement for this.

Wow O_o
That is horrid.

I picked up the same Chaos Champion and really looked over it and nothing was like that, it needed a little cleaning... Mold lines and so on, a little "flash" here and there... But NOTHING like that :/
It looks like the un-helmeted head looks like it's been dipped in acid :s

I'd really go back to where you got it and show them or something, because thats so far from right.

I'll definitely be opening the boxes to inspect them, or not purchase anything I can't look at first. The few Crapcast singles my FLGS has aren't that bad. Has anyone bought some Nurgle Marines yet?

Ill have to agree. If I pick up any of the new models Ill be opening them and checking them out before I get too far from the store. At this point Im extremely hesitant to order any online.

wow, that is depressing;
-the wing-skull on the jump-pack, TERRIBLE quality... even the parchment. The problems look endemic of the moulds themselves. Take them back, get a refund and get a new game or buy the parts to create conversions. Do not get these replaced, this is terrible.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

Holy unethical company batman! that is terrible! so much for the big spin of 'finer quality' and 'better crisper detail' which is a shame for you and I also as i was looking to purchase the exact model as i don't like metal, but seeing this....?

Wow. These are simply terrible casts. I would definitely return them. Who is the target market for these? Blind people?

GW may have raised the prices on their models just to cover the rate of returns if this is standard quality. I feel sorry for retailers dealing with this level of production quality. They aren't to blame, but they are the ones that are going to have to order multiple models just to get a customer one good one (if that's even possible at this rate).

GW might have successfully made the transition to all plastic miniatures by making their other products unbuyable.
