Poor to me. Obviously not to you. I am not a fan of flashing or air bubbles or other nonsense. Paying extra for resin is a waste, in my opinion. If you read my responses you should have gathered this already, but I am replying again to clarify for you.

I'm fine with the look of the models, I just can't see why I'd pay anything for non-assault terminators right now.

Even in a fun or theme list, it's hard to fit in termies with a heavy flamer.

Which is a shame, because they look super cool.

They look ok

Personnaly i like them better, then the plastic ones.

Anatomicaly, they are more accurate, and when you look at the others pictures with different angles you do see that the armors stay pretty broad, but that the Marines in it are more upright, then hunced in a weird pose.

This weird hunced pose was one of the reasons why i din't have more then 8 Termies...

I was even considering to convert Tau Stealth exo armors to have something else and better looking.

I did use once a GK termi model to make a WE Techy in T armour( count as Oblit), and boy was i satisfied with the look of it!

So i might well get one of those unit and make real WE Termies!

For me in New Zealand most Forge World stuff is cheaper than GW. Its awesome.

Uh, that's the exact criteria for condemning companies as a consumer.

The fact that you dont like them is irrelevant........


Which is why I said the whole hobby is pointless then, because the whole GW 40k system is designed to SELL MODELS and not make you happy about their deisgn choices.


The reason they offer so many different armies is due to this very fact that people like different things...... much like the new Terminator models..

First off, selling different models WOULD be pointless if there was no demand for them. Supplying when there is no demand results in wasted spending. Unfortunately, that borderline happened to my local Air Traffic, which has stopped selling Games Workshop products as of today because demand was so low, that even after they gave out a 25%+ discount on everything, hardly anyone bought something. Yes, I'm just an individual, so my single opinion regarding a product doesn't matter to Games Workshop, but what happens when enough people share my opinion? In that scenario, my dislike would be relevant, because it wouldn't just be my dislike; it'd be the mass opinion of GW's consumer base.

Secondly, you didn't clarify the point you were trying to make with your original post, so how could I not misinterpret it? On top of that, you're speaking down to me. You've come across as haughty and presumptuous, and for that, your opinion has no value to me.
