GhostMalone Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bligh we throw ourselves at you like fan girls throw themselves at one direction. Just pictured Alan Bligh in a big purple pimp coat massive oversized hat monocle disco shoes and a massive gold eye of horus round his neck smacking people with his sigilite replica pimp stick.

Malios Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 If GW prices are anything to go by, an army of plastic heresy minis in Australia will still cost a kidney.

Kol Saresk Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The only way I will be excited is if 1.)the models are on par with FW's level of quality and eye for detail. As in, no random blobs on the feet of my plastic marines. 2.)If it is actually cheaper than FW prices. The new Bloodthirster model being more expensive than a FW Khorne Herald AND Daemon Prince only adds to my doubts of this being a guarantee. Those two terms are non-negotionable.

simison Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 To me, the second term is absolutely necessary, while the first one is a little more lax though I do want quality. And the third term is that GW allows FW to maintain their vision instead of supplanting it with their own.

And the third term is that GW allows FW to maintain their vision instead of supplanting it with their own.That too, but since it seems like that might be the case with their relationship with FFG, which is a completely separate entity, it should stay the same with FW which is subdivision created, staffed and maintained by GW.

Daemon2027 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good thing I have two ruined ones Cricket the national sport of everything but sport no one goes to the cricket to watch cricket, they go to get drunk and act a fool. On topic: if this does happen I'll be starting my iron warriors force next Cricket was meant to be played in England, where rain is a real possibility 12 months of a year! On topic, as long as forgeworld world keep doing what they do, I couldn't careless what GW make. The ability to mix in plastic is always handy but FW resin will always remain the preference.

hisdudeness Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I thnk there is one point that is not being mentioned, resin molds and plastic moods are different...the entire process is different. The sculpts will have to be pretty much redone. Plastic versions will only vaguely resemble the FW resins. So while possibly cheaper you will also be getting a different product.

helterskelter Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Basic tacticals arent going to suffer from that, nor a basic contemptor really. If cataphractii are in the box too the difference may be more apparent with them. Plus theres so much heresy gubbins available, with all the modelling the guys do on here to inspire, these basic kits would look unique to the individual in no time.

I'm willing to settle for that, so long as the GW plastic looks as pretty as the resin. And is cheaper. And only comes with FW background. I will settle for new poses and new styles of armor marks.

hisdudeness Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They won't. They can't. They will be good but not the same as FW.

helterskelter Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Patience kol, no ones seen these kits properly yet to rumour this stuff (except maybe mk IX guy but yeah..).

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They won't. They can't. They will be good but not the same as FW. Why? I don't see much on the legion armours which wouldn't be possible in plastic, is there..?

Skalpynock Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They won't. They can't. They will be good but not the same as FW. Why? I don't see much on the legion armours which wouldn't be possible in plastic, is there..? MkII/III backpacks. The three fans look awfully difficult to cast correctly.

hisdudeness Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Not saying it's not possible, they won't be the same. Just look at a plastic Marine arm or bolter and look at a resin arm or bolter. Notice the difference? This is not due to scuplts, it is due to the completely different process in production and the capability of each of the materials.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 But I'm sure they could make them look pretty much the same. I mean, if it's meant to be an introduction box to get people into the Heresy, they'll have to look very very similar, or you'll end up with units in the same MK of armour looking very different. I don't see much that would be a problem to cast in plastic, only minor details. I'm fairly sure they'll look very similar.

Kol Saresk Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well I'm not asking for exactly the same. I'm asking to be able to look at a GW plastic and know the amount of effort that went into designing it. Like the DV set. Or the amount of effort that didn't go into it. Like the 40K Centurions.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I dunno, I'm asking for it to be pretty close. Otherwise everything will look completely different in the army even if it's the same armour.

No Foes Remain Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Quick question as I lack the smarts: Why would GW have to re do the moulds for the HH armour? And why can't they just use the FW ones?

Daemon2027 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Some of the recent plastic kits have been quite nice. Or at least looked quite nice. I haven't brought them in a while.
