Just checked my E:A STs ... they all look good ! However my Rhinos all were bad and I even called G/W US and they said they were aware of the problem, but had no solution at this time. They should paint up fine though. My Basilisks had a lot of flash and poor molding on the rear tracks, again I fixed that and they should paint up fine. However at these prices and the hype, all our E:A stuff should be up to standard ...

This is starting to sound really bad. I need at least four more companies of Russes (in order to have 2 full battalions) but this thread has started some doubts about whether to buy the new ones or to start hunting for the old ones.

My Russes were not bad. Once painted they will look fine. My Chimeras on the other hand, man was I not happy.

I have only bought a few
Landa
and
Trukks
I was going to get some new Rhinos but the castings looked terrible (and has been mentioned already) the price is quite high for what are poor castings.

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.

It seems as if its a QC problem with consistency of production then?
We have some very varied reports on the same models, which seems to discount it being a mould problem

Hopefully. But I think I won't buy anything Epic from the online store anymore. Instead, I'll wait until I have some business in Helsinki and go to the local GW store. At least in there I can see what I am buying.

If you get poor minis - why arent you returning them and asking for a replacement?

Hi!
Tas, mainly becuase I played it safe and onely bought one of each of those blisters. It was a small investment, so I dont think its worthy of the hassle or an exchange. Also, I desire to use some of the pieces as fodder for conversions, so I'm less inclined to exchange them.
Had I bought a standard primarchload, I would have sent it back in a heartbeat.....
Luckily, this time at least, I had the "luck" of not ordering many upfront.
I will follow this policy in the future.

To be honest, until this last couple of posts, I did not trust I would get any better back. When it was just one mini in a package, I think things will be fine. When it is many from the same order in different blisters I expect it is a failure in the overall system.

If I were you, I would keep phoning up and whinging... GW MO and FW are usually very good about sorting out these sort of things.... at least in the UK.

Hopefully the Helsinki GW is better than the Belfast one, apart from the SM and orc infantry boxes and a couple of orc/SM blisters (read couple as 2) there is no Epic, nor is there any intention of ever stocking any (I asked). Have to go MO I was told._________________ I'm involved in Nunnery Practice My latest Blog http://www.players.tacticalwargames.net ... p?blogId=8
