I recenlty purchased a Warhound Titan from a guy on this site and was surprised to see the manufacturing stamp located on the underside of the top carapace read FORGE WORLD MODELS GAMES WORKSHOP (C) 1995, is this a model a recast? OR did FW purchase old molds for Armor Cast kits?


GAAAHHH, Ninja'd!

No, its not a recast. See this link:
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Resin_Vehicles_&_Titans

Some of the relevant parts from the link:
At about the same time that Inquisitor started, Tim DuPertuis, with GW's permission, started casting and selling a Thundercannon for converting a Rhino into a Vindicator. (June 1991).

Nick Tompkins saw Mike’s models, made some models and sent them to GW who gave him a copyright license too. Nick's company is Epicast USA.

Mike’s association with Games Workshop ended and John Richardson of Modesto, California and some other friends approached Games Workshop with a proposition. They asked GW for the right to reproduce Mike’s models and other new ones on a large scale production basis. GW agreed and gave them a licence. They formed Forge World Models

Tim DuPertuis approached GW and asked for the same rights and contract and got Mike to agree to work with him to refine and update the models. Tim formed a company called Armorcast.

So the companies in USA which received copyright licenses from GW were Mike Biasi Studios, Epicast, Forge World Models, Armorcast.
