Free Models

Iv just got my new White Dwarf today with the two free models, after looking at them for a few minutes iv noticed really bad flash lines and small \'cracks\' on the front of the models, plus the detail is somewhat lacking (e.g. the bottom of the dwarks shield) and it made me wonder, are these models made and produced just for the magazine? Because surely it would be better to just give the normal sprues?

I just bought the first one for about two years...

It happened to be the one with the freebies. Junk IMO..could have been on the cover ten years ago.

So im not the only one who thinks these models are a pile of pants lol, no these wouldnt make me buy anthing else!
In the battle for skulls pass set i notice that these two models are used as soldiers in the units? If they are then are all of the other minis in this set just as bad a quality?
 
i get white dwarf every month and injoy reading it so getting free models is great it dont matter if they are lame or not detailed. if you only got it to get the models then u wasted £3.90 on the magazine:flame:

£4.00 round here! I get White Dwarf every month but i think they could hav put a bit more thought into the models, mine are covered in flashing and small cracks, if i was into minitures and bought this mag because i was thinking of getting into GW minis then i would give first impressions, and these would not leave me wanting more.

I doubt that anyone on this forum...

...would be so utterly fish-brained as to buy a White Dwarf for what is clearly two totally duff plastic miniatures snotted onto the front cover....

I am intrigued only by the facts that:

a) GW think that these are a worthwhile giveaway???

b) That apparently the much-vaunted GW plastics appear just as sh1t as they did a decade ago....

c) That anyone at \'Evil Empire HQ\' should think that giving such crap might entice people to buy yet more crap...

and d) ...Okay, there is no d) at the moment, but give me a while:innocent:

Finn here\'s a d)
d) that making minitures in the battle for skulls pass box set the same as these will make people want them, and therefore buy the set giving them more money so they can take over the world with microsoft...bwahahahahhaha...to far now! Need to calm down!

Go Apple mac! and independant traders (not trotters, who scammed me last week with a fake wallace and gromit alarm clock!) who sell the same mini\'s at GW but for a fraction of the price!

For the benefit of those who do not know what we are talking about...

GW\'s latest plastics...Hooray!!!:eek:

Mustn\'t be too harsh, they might be crap, although that is just my personal opinion, but they are free!!!!:bouncy:

Only these two however....and only \'free\' if you spend £4 on a multipage advert for GW products called White Dwarf:innocent:

This is probably cruel...

But let\'s have a closer look at GW\'s efforts to inspire us.
