Slightly wobbly / a little too small matches my experience of the Dark Angel land raider doors. Those are probably legitimate.

 

Interesting. I have some very old ones that are pretty crisp. I wonder if they were discontinued because the moulds had deteriorated?

I got the Blood Angels ones from FW direct years back, they were absolute bilge quality wise and I needed multiple re-sends before I had a full set of all three doors, so I wouldn't be surprised if quality decay was an issue.

Pretty sure they redo moulds a fair bit. You don't really have a choice when using silicone.
Some models definitely get discontinued due to an issue with a master. Krieg Grenadiers disappearing but the special weapons remaining, then coming back as a MTO. But never the hellgun ones. I assume someone broke something.

 

Rest of the Krieg range is great these days though, so it's not like old=bad

Oooh I hadn't thought of the photo-etch stuff. Good call.

 

Another one I'd like to see come back- the Centaur! As a lover of tankettes and utility vehicles, I'm very sad it's no longer produced.

Yeah, I'd like this.


Transfers even more so. I used to think it was easy to get stuff printed custom, but I've started to hear more and more negative things on custom jobs taking a year or more etc.

If your models are white it's easy.

For Red Scorpions I'm planning on just using a combination of these with the lightning bolt painted out.
Then layer a home printed red scorpion over the top.

 

The black ring is a little thick, but I'd rather that and get an accurate scorpion motif.

It's one reason I'd love for them to redo the Luna Wolves one. A Luna Wolves project with the modern HH kits would be quite fun.

Luna Wolves seem a popular pick, although I think they'd be easier to home print than most, due to the white armour. 

All of the previous Sector Imperialis terrain!?!?!

 

... I'll also take the Imperial Bastion, Skyshield Landing Pad, and the large imperial gun emplacements & turrets that looked so baroque and cool! The Shield Generator would be nice too.
