It is real shame that FW is no more. The Imperial Armour series was great and really added an additional level of depth and storytelling to 40K. I remember when I went to Warhammer World back in 2005 when I was in the UK on a student exchange program and I really wanted to get an Eldar Phoenix Bomber but they were out of stock. The FW guy at store at WW told me he would phone the guys on the factory floor and have them cast me one for me to swing back by and pick up before taking the train back to London.

It’s a real shame they didn’t redo the Macharius in plastic, instead of the Rogal Dorn.

[@Deadjim17]

[@horriblypink]

@@horriblypink I like that it doesn't fit the look of what came before. I like the diversity of design. It's a galactic empire. I've been waiting for more variance in the guard for decades now.

[@CMTechnica]

@@jamesespinosa690that’s the issue with it. The Dorn is the most generic unit in the Guard range. It’s a Tamiya M4 Jumbo with extra steps. That’s beyond lame, it’s lazy.

[@CMTechnica]

Definitely a shame they didn’t do the Macharius, especially since the workings for the plastic Malcador was happening, just not publicly announced until recently (and now they’re available). And since they’re pushing the Death Corps of Cringe so much, why not the tank they made famous, lorewise? Shameful, really. The consoomers in the Imperial Guard will slurp up this unfinished and lazy excuse of a tank because we haven’t had a proper 40k guard update, just an infantry refresh. The Dorn is the laziest thing I’ve seen from them in a long while. And Squats came back.

[@graefx]

FW is from when GW was a hobbiest company run by fans. It was meant for people that wanted that next hobby challenge. Now GW is ultimately run by bean counters and not by people who just love the play. FW for its challenge and unique space doesnt fit into that new model of churn and max profits. And center piece models have now moved into the realm of how can we squeeze the most money out of people. I miss it was just about toy soldiers and just wanting to make cool stuff. We've come a long way from when White Dwarf had scratch build tutorials.

"you can still use FW in your games" - assuming your playing at games workshop and they allow you. I've been to a few stores that refuse forge world models to be played because "we can't sell them and they're not in the proper rules"

[@sympylpyq634]

One thing that annoys me about forgeworld stuff going away is that... not all of it was actually weird, strange, or super specialist, and lots of forgeworld stuff actually filled really useful, cool niches in the armies that they're a part of. For example, I play Eldar - and while there are tonnes of things which very much fit into that "big cool weird centrepiece model that you only own to show off", like their titans and the really big forgeworld tanks, two units stick out to me as just a normal part of the day to day Eldar roster - The Hornet and the Shadow Spectres. The Hornet is just a fast, light tank that fills a niche between the Falcon chassis tanks and the Jetbikes/Vyper, and the shadow spectres are no more niche or weird of a concept than, say, Warp Spiders or Swooping Hawks, and fill some important niches in the army quite regularly. I bring my own Hornet to games regularly, and it doesn't feel off or weird - it just feels like an ordinary and honestly very fluffy and lore-friendly part of the Eldar range that has the curse of being cast in resin for some reason. There are tonnes of other factions which have important holes of their roster plugged by Forgeworld - for example, see everything in Custodes. It would be a shame to remove these kinds of units for the sin of being made of the same material as titans and weird tanks nobody buys.

[@acefromspace5843]

Some of the best models are FW resin. Tau is an example that is now being hit with the changes with the Riptide variants going to Legends 😢

[@AndrewMcColl]

And yet FW resin almost always seemed subpar to the resin you got from other companies. As for the models, the ones that appeared in Imperial Armour never seemed to get the same amount of balance as those in the main 40k books (go go corporate silos!), so it's not surprising that the resin battlesuits were always more popular. I don't recall anyone ever raving about the stories behind them, just that they were 'better' than the usual variants.

[@MortenWill]

Thank you for informing me that i have the option of, when asked how I carry transport my minis, to simply answer "Beans!"

[@AK-tl2nm]

The video is primarily focused on selection opposed to nature or the products. It’s worth considering how hand made resin models are very long in the tooth now. In a time when CAD allows for impossibly detailed kits that actually fit together the detail appeal of hand made resin simple isn’t there. We’ve also seen a significant number of these kits remastered in plastic including the malcador. While I am sad to see Forgeworld as a testbed go, the resin models themselves are of little appeal these days.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

The resin models could still have a niche, low run numbers that exist primarily to fill out the universe, things like civilian vehicles, civilians, and similar stiff, but only if they had high quality resin and casted it correctly, rather then selling the lowest quality product as if it was made of gold by a master sculpture by hand

[@mcpw2004]

My personal biggest hope is that we’ll see at least some of the popular kits transferred into plastic, because plastic is just so much more enjoyable to work with compared to resin for me

[@91Caesar]

There is a distinction to be made between former FW kits that were produced with use in 40k/WFB/AOS in mind and the FW kits that are used in the more specialist games. GW has basically split into two distinct studios, a 'Main' studio handling 40k and AOS, and a 'Specialist' studio handling everything else. Forge World basically became the specialist studio, and they don't want the content from either studios cross-contaminating for accounting reasons. GW wants to know that when you buy a Contemptor Dreadnought you're using it for HH and not 40k, so they can assign the sale to the Specialist studio and more accurately gauge how well HH is going. This is why Beastmen are leaving AOS. They don't want to have a range that straddles both the Main studio and the Specialist studio. So the games like MESBG, The Old World, Necromunda etc etc are safe (provided they continue to sell enough to justify their existence), where as the old FW models that existed as supplementary models for 40k are on the chopping block, unless they are relevant to the HH (which most aren't).

[@JPBArchery]

I'm not sad to see it go, Heresy 2.0 moving so much from FW resin to plastic was what kept me in the hobby and allowed me to get into heresy as 9th ed 40k pushed me away quick. Having the bulk of the army be more affordable and easier to build or convert has been huge. FW hasn't really had an exact purpose for a while now. I can see where the Imperial Armor books/campaigns of old would have been a fun time in the hobby offering more niche units, models, etc but since they've moved away from that kind of thing for quite some time it doesn't make sense to keep the two separate anymore. Incorporating it into the same ecosystem and slapping the "expert resin kit" label on it was the most logical move. I dont think everything "needs" to be moved to plastic...the HH faction characters, units and upgrades in resin are fine, same goes for the super heavies, etc. Now if we can get breachers, recons, destroyers, etc in plastic to round out the infantry that'd be great...

GW needs to get Tony Cottrell back.

[@lachief237]

FW was weirdly ‘mainstream’ in Warhammer over recent years. Back in the day it was all esoteric weird bits intended for narrative games and not receiving balance support. It was actively hard to get hold of outside the UK. With the internet it became widely available and a lot of enthusiasts seemed to hold it to the same standards as the core ranges (which isn’t something the sales could justify in an already bloated roster). I’m not convinced it should ever have been part of the ‘tournament legal’ scene. Short-run specialist games or narrative special items was a niche that made some sense.

[@hannahleith52]

The closure of Forge World was inevitable once they started releasing the base game of Horus Heresy in plastic. No matter how much better resin is than plastic in general the main problem Forge World has had since day dot is the QC issues that they still can't fix. And think about it if the ones they sell as bad as they might be are still the 'acceptable' ones how many in each run of a mould are so irreparably bad to be completely useless, better to change to plastic yeah it might cost them a few hundred thousand quid in tooling per mould but it will have a much lower wastage rate and better profit margins as time goes on.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

It was inevitable long ago, you can bet your ass the reason forgeworld sucks so much now is GW wanted to milk them for every penny before they killed them, plastic is just a better material for everything except ultra low production runs, which basically means production runs that make then lowest returns because of the higher cost to produce, and the cost to pay the sculpture are spread out onto much fewer scales, so then the company ads and additional tax to customers to pay for the luxury of buying there cooler products available, (if they actually worked ad advertised)

[@kylethomas7473]

[@lMrJackl]

I'm glad fw is being merged back in. I think the reason fw products aren't popular is the cost and difficulty of assembly. Gw seem to be gradually redoing fw stuff into plastic, and if they start updating the rules to those models and including them in codexs, then maybe people will start buying and playing with them more.

That’s how I’ll always remember forge world, the people who were the ones you’d go to for specialist and if it wasn’t there they’d make it

[@Orannis01]

I think the legacy of FW was that the resin was expensive compared to GW plastic 20 years ago, and the rules for the models were often unbalanced. The newer FW stuff ended up being cheaper than GW plastic kits and the rules were always overpointed for what you got on tabletop, like GW didn't want to support them.

[@vortex594]

I think that Forgeworld as a unique thing went away when the website was integrated into the regular Warhammer range. And as more and more of the former resin kits gets made into plastic, Forgeworld will keep going into the background until GW finally decides to remove it ompletely. However, I do think that there is still a market for some of the resin miniaures, so hopefully whey will not stop making them as there aree some big models that I don't think ever will come in plastic.

I think you have the causality backwards; they're not discontinuing kits because they're not interested in supporting the rules, they're dropping rules for models they're not interested in producing. The ROI for resin is always lower than plastic, and the large resin models like tanks and titans don't sell well so their ROI is worse. It doesnt make business sense to produce them. I feel that Forgeworld was always a labor of love for the staff that ran it, like the old metal guard regiment minis, but they're pivoting away from that as a company. I wish more of those kits would be remade in Plastic but logistically theres too many to remake them all, and some of them are simply too niche to be worth the investment of remaking and stocking them. I just hope GW keeps doing MTO for old forgeworld kits like they did earlier this year.

I just bought a fucking cobra man, this is abysmal..

[@bilbobaggins8962]

Baffling that they didn't just switch strategies with forge world and 'made to order' models. Buy a bunch of printers, scan the ranges, ditch the molds and enjoy the profit. Silly. We'd have better quality with 3D prints too

[@kellinbray5347]

3D print and scratch build. GW doesn’t need our money anyways, that’s what now. Let the emperor fall from his throne.

A thing i see you failed to mention is the fact that a lot of forge world kits are retining with the old world ranges being released. Also the fact that its the forge world team that are desining and produsing ethe plastic kits for herasy and old world. Forge world is still very much a thing its just a branding and simplifying thing on gws end to make it less confusing for a newcomer to the hobby. What i think is actualy happening is that gw is making it so that fw is focusing on spwcilast games as well as old world and herassy. As well as removing most if bot all if the fw stuff from aos and 40k. Esentialy making a hard devid between the citidel and fw teams

I don’t think they’ll touch much of IG stuff

[@Bobamelius]

IG stuff has been disappearing from FW for years and years.
