FW is currently cheaper then GW. Its a joke, compare dreadnought prices

Or the 'siege giant' to a GW giant.
I have a few things from FW, namely a trio of rhinox riders (made of awesome, gorgeous sculpts and no sign of blemish), a FW only bane blade (the plasma one, the whole thing is metal. Feels WIN)
I have heard of many issues with bits of their products sometimes being malformed, but norm with proof they are happy to replace.
Back in the day FW were the super eliteist expensive products in an already expensive and niche market. Nowadays well... see for yourselves.
