@evilstu The casts from Norba are really clean. Take a look at the website for Norba Miniatures and their photos look like they were taken with a macro lens that brings the detail out of their stuff. Minis on the opening page are probably untouched and just based.

I got the Karak Zeppelin and it is the largest model I’ve put together in so many pieces. There was a slight shift in the molds as to how they key to each other but surprisingly for the amount of resin that they poured that isn’t much of a problem at all. There are small amounts of gap space, relative to the rest of the model, but those are readily resolved with some putty and attention to detail. The figures for the deck are well cast and match to the 3D renders. Again, any cleanup is minimal. I’d say the only details on the airship that give a slight issue would be rigging along the sides that would sit behind the shields but we all are well armed with hobby knives and files to address them.

If you’re looking to get in on their dragons then I’d recommend it. I’m not looking for any large figures for some time to come but anybody looking for scaly fiends or additions to their Fantasy armies should go ahead and drop the cash for the discount and surprise of seeing the quality when it is in hand.
