I'm not sure if this is old news but I just had a look at the Forge World Online store. Aparently the Epic Tanks factory is now OOP. It was announced a while ago that it would soon be out of production. However no such announcements were made about the Cathedral which apparently has also been removed. 
Too bad...

Hmmm.. any hint why they being discontinued?
I certainly hope they aren't gonna ditch some of the real cool models like superheavy tanks or the like.

Not selling enough to make up the investment in production at a guess, the usual.
I'd always though the tank factory model was rather overpriced, but the Cathedral seemed to be more 'value for money,' hey ho.

Oh well ... thought about getting them ... but "a little to rich for my blood" ! And anything that big is harder to store !

Actually... speaking of Forgeworld and super heavy tanks...
Has anyone seen any recent castings from FW? Have they redone their moulds lately or, are they still deteriorating?
I'd like to order a company or two of each but I'll be arsed if I'm going to pay for casts out of worn out moulds.

Indeed ... even G/W-F/W can defeat our Vulcan-like  logic at times ...

I ain't paying for the super heavies unless they pack them 6 to a bag.
The last ones I got were completely "melted" in the rear end of the vehicle... the tracks were blurry and well.. melted.. together with the rest of the thing. Major disappointment. So I called them up and say "NAY!" and then they shipped me another bag of superheavies:D

It is my understanding that they have to replace the molds after just a few castings with those Forgeworld models. They deteriorate much faster than the molds for metal or plastic miniatures. Forgeworld stuff goes out of print a lot; they sometimes bring things back a few years later, though, so don't lose hope.

Hi!
Thats very likely.
Their customer service in my experience has been top notch, so they usually make up for their mistakes.
