FW makes awesome stuff but the prices are through the roof.

Is it the resin that brings the cost up or what?

I’m not sure, FW do seem to make the most expensive Resin models out there. Other companies that make Resin models (Fenryll for instance) keep their prices pretty much the same as the metal equivalents. Some companies even make their lines in both Resin and Pewter with the Resin versions being slightly cheaper.
Scotia-Grendel who produce a huge range of Resin terrain and creatures have very reasonable prices, most of their products are under £12 and of good quality to boot. There are other companies that make even cheaper resin products. Plus when you go into a gift shop the resin ornaments are always much cheaper than the pewter ones …

People who for GW will of course disagree and come up with all kinds of excuses for FW’s prices. So in spirit of fairness lets compare FW to a few other companies.
Here’s some FW products along side similar products from else ware so you can judge for you self
