Judging by the photo, the casting or the base is in pretty sad shape. I can see many voids and holes. Might be better to hold on to it for a bit and then re-sell in original condition! :D

The resin casting is bad but then its a conreat piller in the 41m so it will be shot to beits any way. The metal casting is mint and better than GW.

LOL. Ther quality controle has been very bad laytly. I got a box of marines the other day and the plastic was flord and had slipt on every spru. I took them into GW Mbro and kickt of. Got a nice box of new 1ns tho. It seams ther yousing some sort of re cyceld plastic. Can I hell spell that. Ant lookt at ther metal for a long time. Even the guy in t shop sed it was a shoking mess and how on earth it was boxt unchekt was beond him. Maybe new molds are needed. Im starting a new marine army so time will see if the other stuf is still to spec.

Back on track to this therd tho. This model is awsome!

Ronin and Kabuki models are perfect for 40k, though the Kabuki need head swaps because of the slight scale difference, but they both offer incredible detail on metal casts, the resin lacks a little, but the metal is perfect!

i know a guy in normanby who sells them on ebay :P
