Not yet - I think they were starting to come in when I went on hobbying hiatus so I never picked any up. To be honest I'm trying to avoid them if I can, heard too many horror stories!

I wouldn't unless your desperate for that specific mini. I'm glad I've got the nurgle daemon prince for example. But here is the cyberwolf. So many gaps and this is the real deal too. Only like 3 or 4 pieces to and it's got this many problems lol

Ouch, they really are rough! I know the casting quality is lower on the old metals, but at least you know it's all going to be there!

Stupidly I've got my eye on more tanks, but I'll not be bidding 😇

Yeah. I should be able to fix up with plastic putty but imagine if you got this as your first miniature getting into the hobby... you'd just give up I think!

Haha I look forward to seeing them when you buy them 😂😂 I've gone for the don't look method at the moment as the mrs now knows what I have left the month after my initial splurges 🤣

Wow that stuff is awesome. I'll have a watch of them now. Could do some very cool stuff for the possessed with them!

Haha same 🤣 we also saving for wedding next year so money that could be well spent on miniatures is going to be squandered on a wedding 🤣

Don't worry I'm still spending a stupid amount on the old plastic crack.
Here's one I got off the fb groups. Bargain for 12 quid. Big ol nasty daemon prince!

Solid price 👍

Fortunately I now have more than enough to keep me going, so why remaining costs for the forseeable will just be basing materials, the odd paint top up etc.
