TYRANIDS SCYTHED HIERODULE

I was curious how the quality of these casts compare to Authentic Forge World stuff. Now, for the price, it's a no-brainer, this is the better option on that alone.
However:
I actually built this along side the actual Forge World Kit, and the forge world kit was the superior option. There were a number of casting errors on this model. The base was a little misshapen, the carapace was very thin in a number of places, and some of the details were a little messed up (Especially under the neck, with bits being where they shouldn't.

It's a good kit, but the casting is not as good as the real forge world version. Prep took longer on the recast, and the end product was a little worse.

It's still good, and I would recommend buying this over the Forge World kit based exclusively on the price, just know you're gonna have a good amount of work to do.
I've gotten numerous kits from this website, and unfortunately, this is the worst one I've worked with.

Expect to do a fairly significant amount of work to the resin to make the legs line up with the body and base. I used green-stuff on knees where they did not align and repaired one of the horns that broke off. Thankfully the main body is one giant piece so there isn't the problems with gaps on the torso.

All that said, for the price this thing was a steal and if youre willing to put in the work, you can get yourself a very nice model

Perfect, super happy

Absolutely flawless cast, highly recommend to any Tyranids player looking to pick up one of these- lighter and better quality resin than FW for a fraction of the price

Plus fast delivery and great customer service as always :)

I'm so happy to finally own these. Amazing details, little work needing greenstuff to fix. Other than that great value compared to fw prices. Strongly recommend to add to your army.

Perfect. Not a single bend to fix.

Absolutely brilliant cast. The cast itself requires minimal work and look the deal.

Amazing models
I got two
Packaging well perfect
Amazing detail thank you

This is a great price for this model. Have always wanted one since back in 5th Ed, but couldn't afford it as a teen.

Model itself is a pain to assemble. I used super glue and a thick metal coat hanger to pin the parts, as they're a bit heavy for the glued surface area. The biggest pain is lining up the feet and single Scything Talon to the grooves in the custom base. I ended up forgoing this and getting a 130mm round base instead, as the included base was also cast with almost 2mm of extra resin unevenly built up on the backside, and was not worth the work to clean it up.

Overall would buy again, casting quality was great, and as mentioned the price is fantastic.

4* rating due to issues with the base/assembly.

Really nice product. I would buy it again.
