I've only bought from FW twice (so far), and didn't spend much both times. That WILL change once I get my hands on the new 'Nids Codex and see what I still need to buy from there.

So far, I've only bought a Heavy Bolter Pillbox and a Black Legion CSM Dreadnought (with Dred CC Arm and TL-Autocannon arm).

hmmm the most expensive FW stuff i got was the tau manta. i had to shave off a few hundred dollars off the price when i told my wife what i bought and she still threw a fit " you bought what!!! for how much!!!"...mind you i slept in the sofa that night but it was worth it.

**JohnHwangDD**

I have a FW Ad Mech Techpriest. I think he's more expensive than the Servo-Skulls.

**Valkyrie**

Wow nice Manta!

**Alex Kolodotschko**

Tyranid Hierophant. He's still in the box, I don't fancy pinning all those spikes and putting rods into the legs just yet...

**24mech**

" Wow nice Manta! " thanks valkyrie

Love the painting effect of those blues, Great work.

I have three FW models, two of which are now available in plastic... The most expensive was a baneblade I purchased some years ago, it cost over 200 usd, and the newer plastic ones are way cooler. I also have a valkryie which I purchased at Atlanta gamesday, (when there was a gamesday in Atlanta) for more than a hundred usd, as I recall. Once again, the new plastic one is way cooler. In the future, I plan on makeing better decisions as far as what and when I buy from FW...

**Major Malfunction**

Chaos Warhound Titan. Didn't buy it new though, it was an Ebay special.

**Empchild**

**Myrthe**

My most expensive FW thing ???

The box of all the "had to have" resiny goodness kits that I have yet to do anything with !!!

LR Doors, Rhino Doors, Terrain Pieces, Character Busts and Figures, Imperial Armor Kits, Dreadnaught Kits, Brass Etches...

Seriously, if I could trade them in for FW credit I could get more than one Mars Pattern Titan that I could avoid doing anything with , too !!

i was hoping someone would post with one of those! i wasn't sure if many people had actually bought one since i've only seen a single pic of one in the wild (the one with the guy holding it). did you tell your wife that it comes with a complete tau army (around 1500pts) included in the price? surely that won her over!

**MagickalMemories**

Wow!
This thread was dead eleven months, and someone dredged it up.

I'm actually kind of disappointed that nobody noticed it before. Especially you, JHDD. I really expected more of you. LOL

**Alex Kolodotschko**

The guy who works in my local GW just got back from training or something like that.
He got a tour of the FW factory and they said that they sell about 1 manta per month.
Sound alot to me but they are out there!

**DeathTyrant**

3 Mega Dreads, Warboss Biker, Biker Nobs. I errr..kinda still need to get around to building them. Had them for a couple of weeks.

I guess the Mega Dreads are the most expensive models out of the lot.

**radiohazard**

I had a FW Bloodthirster converted and painted as a commission piece. It looked like the Mike Gibbons picture of the Bloodthirster from the last Realm Of Chaos book about ten years ago.

It was a wedding present to a good friend.

**Jayden63**

Two weeks ago I made my first FW purchase. A set of Space Wolf rhino doors and brass etching.

I'm a little nervous about quality, but I'm excited to see how they turn out and it will dictate if I buy anything else in the future.

**Da GeneruL**

5x Krieg infantry squads firing
1x Krieg command squad
1x Heavy mortar with crew

Ahh I want that, or the Ultraforge but it's been sold out :(

I have yet to buy anything from FW, but we're putting in a large order pretty soon. I'm getting my Greater Daemons then

**Tek**

I just got my first FW order in the post.
Vanheim Bassie Shield, General Graevus (?), and a Ryza LRBT turret.

Generally speaking, all well-cast and I'm happy with them all.

**chromedog**

The most expensive FW thing I've had was a gen 1 resin valkyrie.

Damn thing was soo miscast, it was returned unsalvageable. To their credit, I was refunded the money AND they sent me a replacement gratis.

Unfortunately, it was also a miscast piece of crap (only not -quite- as bad as the first one) but this was salvageable. 6 weeks later, after I'd finished straightening the tail booms, wings, doors, and rebuilding the canopy (it was broken in transit) struts, it was assembled and primered and sold off to some other sod.

I've not touched FW since. I've been FW free for the last 5 years.

**Empchild**

all this thread has done is make me figure out roughl how much i've spent on forge world in the past 5 or 6 years... was enough for a good down payment on a home....
