A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

I've had a look through the site, but may have missed something. Everything else seems to be plastic or resin (shudder). That said, I may have missed something.

Specifically Warhammer40k? Only asking because I bought a 3 model Gandalf set and two were metal

You know what, I didn't think to look through the Middle Earth stuff.

yeah there's quite a bit of middle earth metal stuff. I got boromir amd and a couple other guys who's names I can't remember a month or so back and they were metal

Interesting, how were the castings?

I know someone who was moaning about the quality of the casting on their made to order metal Yarrick. They were going on about how the model was a mess compared to stuff from the 90s. I assumed it was because they make so few metal minis at GW these days.

they were pretty good actually, better than the old warhammer fantasy metal's I used to have

Specifically, the two gandalf figures here https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Gandalf-the-Grey-2019

The one on the cart is resin

I immediately went to check when I saw your original comment. I also should have known as I think I had the one on foot back when he was released as part of the original fellowship set.
