No, its not that bad in my experience. ?The only things I'd say you should avoid are the Leman Russ Company set, the Chimera blister and the Stormtrooper blister.
Rob | My Stormtroopers look like they were done by amatures, both Chimera Bliasters look like you would think recast knock-offs would look like. The Landraider had excess metal that obscured details. The Land Speeders looked good except for the mold lines. Vultures had some warp that might have been post mold damage. The Rhinos were Ok, except one was a miscast. The Marine Lander was nice, a pain to put together, but nice. The Leman Russ Company was "OK" but nothing to write home about.
Look, the bottom line is GW has gone with poorer QC and clearly went with the lower budget on this round.

I'm not sure what the problem with the ST's is, as the resin masters looked really nice.
I thought it could be that the detail doesn't come out so well on such small figs using metal, but then I got the baran troopers and they look very nice, so it can't be that. ?Must be a specific mold problem.
The Marine Lander was nice, a pain to put together, but nice. |
A pain to put together, are you sure? ?The marine lander is designed to be easy to fit together, whoever designed it is quite clearly a genius. ?The two I have both went together very easily. ?
Look, the bottom line is GW has gone with poorer QC and clearly went with the lower budget on this round.
Yeah, QC should definetly be improved, mainly on the older redone stuff. ?
The budget can't be helped though, Jervis made it quite clear that they are operating on a very small budget as it is all the finance people will let them have, and can only do a limited number of things.
At least they got good sculptors to do the new stuff.

Funnily enough my latest batch arrived this morning, containing, guess what, chimeras and storm troopers The chimeras, for extra transport for upgrades in the 2 mech companies that I have, were ok, not the best, lots of flash and bits, but easily cleaned up. The storm troopers, for inquisition troops, seem great, some cleaning to be done but otherwise fine. So there you go, some batches are awful and some are fine it seems.
