I've had a look through the site, but may have missed something. Everything else seems to be plastic or resin (shudder). That said, I may have missed something.
Specifically Warhammer40k? Only asking because I bought a 3 model Gandalf set and two were metal
You know what, I didn't think to look through the Middle Earth stuff.
yeah there's quite a bit of middle earth metal stuff. I got boromir amd and a couple other guys who's names I can't remember a month or so back and they were metal
Interesting, how were the castings?
I know someone who was moaning about the quality of the casting on their made to order metal Yarrick. They were going on about how the model was a mess compared to stuff from the 90s. I assumed it was because they make so few metal minis at GW these days.
they were pretty good actually, better than the old warhammer fantasy metal's I used to have
Specifically, the two gandalf figures here https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Gandalf-the-Grey-2019
The one on the cart is resin
I immediately went to check when I saw your original comment. I also should have known as I think I had the one on foot back when he was released as part of the original fellowship set.
Ezekiel of the Dark Angels is still metal
Ooooooh, I had not spotted him. That's a nice model too, it even has a metal backpack!
Picked him up at Warhammer World last summer along with the metal Azreal before they replaced him
Look at Eldar range, there may be something left there.
Good call, just had a look. It seems that the only old models left (warp spiders and fire dragons) are now cast in resin.
