So I've wanted to invest in the Raven Guard upgrade pack from forge world for a while, and finally I have found a reason to do so. Mostly, what I've wanted in that pack are the beaky helmets (the other stuff is a nice bonus), but I HATE the stupid forehead laurels, and this is where my question comes in.
How hard/easy is the FW resin to scrape/grind/file?

i'd have thought easier than plastic since resin/finecast is much softer

It will be real easy but be sure to wear a mask, FW resin is bad for you.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Or do it underwater.
Not only will you improve the finish for whatever grade abraisive you use, the resin dust will stay in the water and not in the air.

It is incredibly easy. When trying to get rid of the huge blocks of resin on my warhound, just plastic clippers and a piece of sandpaper are invaluable

Depending on how much you trust your skills at sanding off the laurels, you can also just get beaky helmets from various bits stores.
