Unboxing the BIGGEST Tau Model. It comes with a full Warhammer 40k army that fits inside!

[@larssonyoungberg5740]

Your plan to add all of the patron names to the model has a real-world antecedent. The 5,000th Boeing B-17 built after the U.S. entered World War II was signed by every worker that played a part in building it. By the time the aircraft, dubbed "5 Grand" was sent into combat it had over 35,000 signatures on the outer skin of the aircraft, which remained visible throughout its combat career. While the aesthetic of 5 Grand wouldn't fit well with the Tau (way closer to the Imperial Guard look,) it's an interesting footnote.

[@bww33]

" oh that's warped a little - but i can fix it" and "ohh noo thats broken!" and "thats a little warped, unfortunately" Those words should never have to be said when unboxing a $2000 model. it angers me that its normal for people to say that when dealing with FW models, and even more so at that price point. I hope FW is willing to send replacement parts if needed

[@Normandy42]

Their customer service will replace anything that is warped or broken. They can only do so much when there’s 11 people on the FW team and they have to meet the demand of UK, Rest of Europe, Australia, Canada, US, Japan. Also resin casting is done the old fashioned way, i.e. pour resin into the mould, wait to cure, then peel open the mould. Just have to email/call them for any replacements.

[@vashoom]

@@Normandy42 The point is that, for such a premium product, why don't they have a QA team inspecting the parts BEFORE they ship them? Especially with the long shipping times. I get there's 11 people, but that's not the customer's fault.

[@Normandy42]

@@vashoom They ARE the QA team. They’ll look at what’s there and everything could be alright and still warp in transit. With the nature of resin, just heat up some water and it’ll go back to its natural shape. For broken parts parts, just give them a call and they’ll replace it anyway. For the most part, they’re there to make sure all the parts are there. And if they miss some? Customer service. Nowadays because of COVID they’re in even more of a rush because people want their shit and they want it NOW. So they do the best they can. It’s the human element. Recasters can get away with it because they service maximum a hundred or so people on an email list? Most customers already expect a long wait anyway. They don’t have to service millions of people and stock a warehouse and pay livable wages wherever they are. Why not hire an actual QA team? I honestly don’t know, could be they would see that as a waste of money when these people can do it as part of their job description. Want to keep overhead low and profits high.

[@zakpodo]

I think that much of the warping is a result of shipping (possibly warehousing too, I don't knowtheir process), not necessarily QA. It can get pretty hot in a truck or plane. Add a little jostling and you can have an issue. At least they're good, by all accounts, at replacing- though I haven't had an issue. I get it, that we'd all expect such an expensive thing to be pristine, but the criticism seems a little unfair, given the factors beyond their control.

[@nickkohlmann]

@@Normandy42 tbf they should have more than 11 people when being overwhelmed by too many customers.
