Okay so having just brought the Betrayal at Calth boxed pgame I thought it would be fun to compare the differences in the boxed set and forge worlds models. I have to say they are close the one thing that let's them down for me is the back pack. Please excuse the poor photos poor lighting (I hate winter lol) as I was saying it almost seems like they have used a normal 40k one instead of re designing one for the model.

.

The Forge World Legion Mk4's use almost a straight up copy of the 1st/2nd edition Mk7 backpack. (the original FW Mk4's had an almost exact copy of the 1st edition Mk6 backpack)

The 'regular 40k backpack' was a visual update/retcon of the Mk7 backpack that GW introduced with 3rd edition.

The plastic Mk4 pack is a hybrid of the old-style Mk7 and the new-look Mk7, if anything that make's it MORE original than the FW one.

I like the backpack more on BaC, but the legs are better on the forgeworld.

Honestly, BaC simply because of price

Thank you this is good to know but I think since they started this herecy stuff that's been what mark 4 looks like I just think it's odd to change it for Batrayal at Calth. Though every one has there own likes and dislikes about every model lol.
