My Empire project: So a year ago before I found my first chaos dwarf loot, I started to pick up some empire pieces. Over the time it has grown. I just decided to start assembling more of my armies to remove boxes on the shelf. Assembled before my time is 40 halberdiers, a lot of war machines and 20 hand weapon with shields. Some got more paint than others. My weekend project so far:

That's the worst bit of finecast I've ever seen. I'd always suggest checking alll finecast components as soon as you receive it, even if you're not going to assemble the model for months.
Looking forward to seeing your Empire army progress. Knowing you, it'll be complete by Christmas, and you'll be on to Ogres or something.

Thank you, I think this will take time, I am planning full 2019 to get up to decent size army. I just needed to get started on assembly as it feels so bad to have a lot of expensive sprues just hanging around.

I'd still try taking it into a GW store and ask them if they'd swap it out. Even if you bought it a year ago, they might still honor the fact that it's bad screwed up. Half of that breast plate is missing. That's not cool. Especially since it is a highly detailed piece. I'd simply say that yes, you bought it a year ago, but hadn't opened it up until recently to work on it.
I got a Alarielle model years ago, right after the new HE book was introduced. When I opened the box, she had no face! For some stupid reason, that model was cast with her face separate from the rest of her head. Except it was missing. I took it into the local GW shop, and the manager was like, "No problem! Just go grab another box!" I asked him if he wanted the one with the missing face, and he just said, "Naw. Just keep it." Easy as that.

mottdon I will mail the store I bought it from but my hopes are low. I did not buy it from a GW store, it was a leftover in stock.

Still, a GW store should honor it. It's their product after all.

is there an army you don't have a pile of miniatures for? looking forward to this one, Empire is my first love. Finecast is hit or miss. that'll be a tough repair job in a highly visible place. Good luck.

If it's GW they will almost certainly honour it if you email their customer service. I got my mangler squig money back in vouchers due to the leaning and poor structure of the model (and kept the mangler) If it's recast then that is just the recast tax

Good luck. I have six armies with about 6000p each I supposed to do empire when I fell in love with the big hats My main problem is that my storage shelves don't grow at the same speed as my armies so need to assemble to get back some space. Also, need to stop buying more...

Also, need to stop buying more... Lol, good luck with that! Empire is probably the most addictive army out there! So many colors, so many paint schemes, so many provinces,....
