Looks nice on the pic, like most of their stuff.
However the casting quality of FW products is notorious as it varies from "very good" to "dump me in the trash can". And before buying their expensive resin kits, I'd rather invest my money into scratchbuilding.

That's a very nice piece of work. Looks just like something the Royalists would make to keep the serfs in line.

Have you ever put one of their kits together? Tremendous detail, but the resin they use makes the smaller parts a bit more flexible than I'd like. The end result is worth it, but it's frustrating.

I use the old Thud guns, or the now Forgeworld Quad Launchers for my Quar when using them as IG.

Would def make the green skins cheer and the opposing force think twice.
So far not done a resin kit, just remember resin from other projects as being soft and scratching easily.
All this does is give ideas, and ideas can be dangerous things

I'm not, either. Better player than painter, but I do like throwing things together for effect. This is probably why you never see me posting images of my figures.
However, I may have to change that, as I am working on terrainm and a seriously large Quar airship.
I still prefer buying models outright, if I can.

You drop that and then give no WIP shots? Pish. |

It'll be worth the wait.

| I've read about guys that get the sink full of warm water so they can "fix" their bent FW kits prior to assembly.... I haven't bought much from them, but I've been annoyed by the HUGE gates and pock-marked surfaces. |

That's how I used to fix all of my vinyl kits I built back in the day. I got ahold of a Necron Pylon, and I only had to heat up and straighten one of the central fins, thankfully. The gates are big, but I haven't had the pocked-surface problem so far. Still, it's enough to make me hesitant to fork over that kind of money for their products.
