For instance, a caster reject from GW is still official goods

2019-02-06 15:53:31 UTC  

But it looks no different than a recast

2019-02-06 15:53:37 UTC  

And a normal cast looks no different than a recast

2019-02-06 15:53:39 UTC  

It's all gray (area)

2019-02-06 15:54:42 UTC  

@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

2019-02-06 15:56:18 UTC  

I mostly buy recasts for some of that discontinued MK2 armor

2019-02-06 15:57:11 UTC  

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.

2019-02-06 15:57:28 UTC  

Even though FW is a subsidiary of GW, GW likes to bully the shit out of them

2019-02-06 15:58:06 UTC  

Trust me it was a bitch to get my hobby store to allow FW models in our tournament

2019-02-06 16:00:59 UTC  

Honestly FW pricing is at the point of "fuck em"

2019-02-06 16:01:11 UTC  

I want to buy official but, unless they start sneaking that shit into GW stores to bypass shipping and VAT

2019-02-06 16:01:13 UTC  

Uh, no

2019-02-06 16:01:32 UTC  

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

2019-02-06 16:01:39 UTC  

I bet they guy would be pissed about my Thunderhawk

2019-02-06 16:01:51 UTC  

>No cert of authenticity even though it is legit

2019-02-06 16:02:27 UTC  

"authentic models" that's... wow

2019-02-06 16:02:28 UTC  

Having to certify your model is official is pure autism

2019-02-06 16:02:49 UTC  

Thunderhawks used to be the most expensive model FW made

2019-02-06 16:02:56 UTC  

Thus they got a certificate. Titans did too

2019-02-06 16:03:02 UTC  

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?

2019-02-06 16:03:08 UTC  

Mine is actually a near mint condition caster reject from FW official

2019-02-06 16:03:18 UTC  

Because my mate was friends in the wild west early 2000s era with half the staff there

2019-02-06 16:03:38 UTC  

Obviously, anywhere GW affiliated, I cannot share that story

2019-02-06 16:04:08 UTC  

Here I am boutta buy a recast warhound titan for lulz

2019-02-06 16:04:49 UTC  

@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

2019-02-06 16:05:32 UTC  

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.

2019-02-06 16:05:49 UTC  

You are never asked for it

2019-02-06 16:05:50 UTC  

dw

2019-02-06 16:06:29 UTC  

Yeah and if someone asks to certify just tell em to fuck off

2019-02-06 16:06:32 UTC  

maybe at tourney

2019-02-06 16:06:44 UTC  

that big gay tho

2019-02-06 16:09:15 UTC  

I also never got a certificate or anything for my 2 deredos or leviathan

2019-02-06 16:09:22 UTC  

Those are too small dude

2019-02-06 16:09:29 UTC  

Only Thunderhawks and Titans, as I said

2019-02-06 16:09:33 UTC  

The items that prove you are a whale

2019-02-06 16:09:42 UTC  

That system is going away though, it was a early 2000s thing

2019-02-06 16:09:42 UTC  

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.

2019-02-06 16:09:54 UTC  

Yeah again autism

2019-02-06 16:09:57 UTC  

40k is best with friends

2019-02-06 16:09:59 UTC  

Fuck tournaments

2019-02-06 16:10:05 UTC  

Just a bunch of cheaters an WAACS
