I traded some models for a stormblade, but I am not sure if it's real. It is mostly primed, but this one prart is not. The GW web page says that the kit is made of plastic, and not resin, and this looks like resin to me. Is the stormblade made of resin or plastic?

Stormblade is not on either the GW or FW sites.
I'd assume it is OOP, and this is a recast?

Forgeworld used to make one, but Forgeworld resin is a darker grey than this. I'm leaning towards recast

A quick Google shows a plastic Baneblade chassis with this big gun in it. It seems to be an OOP Forgeworld product. Pretty sure just the gun is resin.

There have been to my knowledge, two Forgeworld stormblades.

First, resin chassis, resin gun.
Then after the plastic baneblade came out, plastic chassis, resin gun.

Forgeworld's resin varies in colour (sometimes within the same kit). This looks like it may be genunine to me.

There has not been a full-plastic stormblade as far as I know.

In that case it's real. The gun is resin, but the rest is plastic it turns out (I scratched some of the paint off to check).
Thanks to everyone for responding.
