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

[-] fearofthedark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You know what, I didn't think to look through the Middle Earth stuff.

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] fearofthedark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ooooooh, I had not spotted him. That's a nice model too, it even has a metal backpack!

[-] wilkopaints@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Picked him up at Warhammer World last summer along with the metal Azreal before they replaced him

[-] jantin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Look at Eldar range, there may be something left there.

[-] fearofthedark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Good call, just had a look. It seems that the only old models left (warp spiders and fire dragons) are now cast in resin.
