For instance, a caster reject from GW is still official goods
But it looks no different than a recast
And a normal cast looks no different than a recast
It's all gray (area)
@RoflTank yeah that's fine though. Creating my House Krast Supremacy Force has been already almost a year in the making already, so waiting a few months for a sudden influx of the remaining models I need, at around half the price too, is no big deal
I mostly buy recasts for some of that discontinued MK2 armor
Yeah I'm gonna snag some recast AdMech shit like the robots coz FW is actually out of some of those models and knowing how GW is, FW might never get in stock of them again.
Even though FW is a subsidiary of GW, GW likes to bully the shit out of them
Trust me it was a bitch to get my hobby store to allow FW models in our tournament
Honestly FW pricing is at the point of "fuck em"
I want to buy official but, unless they start sneaking that shit into GW stores to bypass shipping and VAT
Uh, no
I actually have a GW store over here and they allow FW models for the sole fact that one of the representatives that works there plays the shit out of Krieg and 30k AdMech so he's acknowledged that he'd be a massive hypocrite if he didn't let other people use FW models
I bet they guy would be pissed about my Thunderhawk
>No cert of authenticity even though it is legit
"authentic models" that's... wow
Having to certify your model is official is pure autism
Thunderhawks used to be the most expensive model FW made
Thus they got a certificate. Titans did too
As long as you're playing the rules of the unit and paying the points cost, who cares if it's authentic or a tupperware container with sharpie graphics on it?
Because my mate was friends in the wild west early 2000s era with half the staff there
Obviously, anywhere GW affiliated, I cannot share that story
Here I am boutta buy a recast warhound titan for lulz
@RoflTank the rules do because the Tupperware container wont have the right line of sight dimensions or hull size so it'd abuse the rules
Also @Hoosier Behemoth that's actually something I'm really wary about buying a recast of coz they send the whole authenticity certificate thing with a production number and shit. It bothers me.
You are never asked for it
dw
Yeah and if someone asks to certify just tell em to fuck off
maybe at tourney
that big gay tho
I also never got a certificate or anything for my 2 deredos or leviathan
Those are too small dude
Only Thunderhawks and Titans, as I said
The items that prove you are a whale
That system is going away though, it was a early 2000s thing
Local tourneys don't care. I've played in a couple but like state tourneys run by GW? They're super anal. I've heard stories that you can't proxy units. Like you can't sub Tac Marines as Assault Marines even.
Yeah again autism
40k is best with friends
Fuck tournaments
Just a bunch of cheaters an WAACS
