And yes, all of them are obviously going to be Iron Warriors. The kitbash is made of a pair of legs I found in a bits box that I had to cut and repose as they were obviously intended to be used as riding something, the cloak from him was from the Chaos Lord on Manticore, the head is a Chaos Lord head from 40k with the horns shaved off his face, the backpack and shoulder pads are from Max Mini, and the hammer head is from Scibor.
Now, let me say this. I have done a LOT of conversion miniatures over the years. I have built stuff from several companies when it comes to miniatures, I have done GW bits orders, Forge World orders, Max Mini, Rakham, Scibor, and other companies now long out of business. I have dealt with flash, with poor molds, and with miscasts, especially with finecast. That all said, out of everything I have done, the GW miniatures in plastic have always been of the highest quality when it came to the figures. But these forge world ones I just put together? My god, I had more flash, more mold lines, and each and every single one of them has stuff I will have to cover up with green stuff because of a bad mold or poor cast. This is nuts. I've seen smaller companies with better quality control, and bigger ones with the same. If this is a representative of how Forge World runs their quality then I highly doubt I will purchase more from them after my Adepticon order.
Iron Within, Iron Without.
