Extremely Disappointed by Ongoing Quality Issues
I’ve been a Games Workshop customer and hobbyist for over 30 years, and this has been the most disappointing experience I’ve ever had.
I purchased the Horus Heresy: Saturnine boxset which arrived with mould and sprue damage: scuffed rivets, marked chest details, and surface wear straight out of the box. After several rounds of replacements sent directly from Games Workshop, every copy showed the same defects. Support have been fantastic and gone above and beyond but cannot solve this.
It’s since been acknowledged that the way the sprues are packed can cause friction damage, yet the kits continue to be sold. I’ve also found identical problems on the new MKII Assault Marines, suggesting a wider, systemic issue with production or packaging.
After weeks of correspondence, I was ultimately offered a refund, but what I wanted was the product as advertised i.e. clean, premium-quality kits fit for display and painting. I’m sharing this so other hobbyists are aware of the current quality problems affecting recent Horus Heresy releases.
