Honestly the resin GW are using now from FW for the modern models is good! I've got a good few of the new Bretonnia models in resin and they are great! No fear at all about buying more

Isn't she already on a square base in that picture?


She will be on a 30mm base for ToW, while any edition before that she would have been on a 25mm.

ToW migrated all 20mm based models to 25mm, and all 25mm to a new 30mm.

Yeah I got the bone giant and casket of souls for Tomb Kings (both FW resin) and they turned out great. No issues at all. I understand the hesitancy but feels like they figured out their resin issues at least from my perspective.

ToW armies I own:
Empire: 10,000+
Chaos Legions: DoC- 10,000+; WoC- 7,500+; Beastmen- 2,500+; Chaos Dwarves- 3,500+
Unaligned: Ogres- 2,500; Tomb Kings- 3,000
Hotek: Dark Elves- 7,500+; High Elves- 2,500

With a few exceptions like Marauders and Gors staying at 25 as well as Beastman characters getting the option to be either 25 or 30.

Don’t forget the Goblin Fanatics on round bases, plus random monsters getting base size changes.
That said, at least base size is now fully part of the unit stats so there’s no questions about it anymore.

Etsy is a minefield of casting firms and 3d printing firms - some of which know their stuff and some haven't got a single clue (and can even ship hazardous part cured or poorly washed 3D printed models).

Finecast I avoided. It was nearly always a painful experience. The difference I noticed is that it was much more likely to have chunks of mould trapped in parts of the model that needed picking out; or it would have bubble "clusters". Normal cast resins can have bubbles, but they are small, random and often just a case of using a tiny bit of filler and you're done. Finecast would have clusters that would obliterate a chunk of detail and would repeat that same obliteration cast to cast to cast so even replacements had the same issue.



FW's resin (which is what GW are using now for all the new resin 15+models) is much more traditional cast resin. It's a whole world away from finecast.

Problems about FW in the past usually were about using that stuff for larger multipart minis, where it's, ironically, pretty bad for. Infantry sized minis didn't have as many problems, my Necrosius is one of the most detailed 40K minis I have- he' s pretty brittle though.

Or just really old sculpts that were decades old and needed a proper updated mould/master sculpt and all.

Maybe THAT's why the War Wagon will be limited - they went to all the trouble of remastering it, only to discover that the finished product is garbage. They still want to make their money back with a quick MTO, but don't want to commit.

My God, if that’s true (and it certainly LOOKS true) that would be so exciting! The old Knight Panther Grand Master was such a pale shadow of what Blanche painted.

It does look a bit 'off' in terms of proportions but I think it's probably just down to the shape of the coat and the length of that mail skirt relative to the chunkiness of the leg armour.

The whole model is bordering on being the usual GW level of too busy for my tastes but just about stays on the right side of the fence given it's a special character. Perhaps a little 'cramped' but that could always be the perspective and the paintjob.

Too busy, off anatomy but strangely funny and very Warhammery... I don't know, but I think I kind of missed that from the somewhat darkish and getting boring AoS.

I can believe that the human inside is reasonably normally proportioned but the pose and design of his armor work together to throw people off. A high collar like that can by itself really mess with perception because it lengthens the part associated with the body, removes the neck and even part of the head. This is reinforced by his stride which shortens the appearance of the legs. Add the bulky gear typical of Warhammer design and you end up with a man of great width.

He's getting swallowed up his armor! Doesn't matter what size of man you are, if you put a suit on meant for a much bigger man you look little. They overdid the heroic armor proportions by a lot.

That is actually the first new model for the Old World that i absolutely hate.

Everything apart from his body is oversized. The helmet is twice the size of the helmet on his drawing. The shoulderpad with the lion is stupendously big. The feathers on his helmet pale those of Karl Franz himself. His mail shirt seems to go to his shins.

Compare him to the new paladin on foot model for the Bretonnians. That model oozes menace. This one looks like a comedy model next to it.
