>I remember a guy asked for proof of purchase when a friend brought his to my local game store
Tell them to mind their own business, or if you're too socially anxious to do that, just tell them you bought it secondhand off of Ebay. Nobody should give a fuck outside the most gigantic of autismos, it's not like you're robbing the LGS of a sale when it comes to most FW products. Literally 80% of the stuff I run is either 3d printed or recast. Anything else that I've bought that happens to be plastic is just to help keep the lights on at the LGS and even the local Space Woof fanboy who is more Asperger's than man hasn't said shit.
>Do you own any?
I own a couple of recasted titanic models from WTG (Gargantuan Squiggoth, the Kill Tank). I don't take either one of them off the shelf because they're too much of a pain to transport.
Keep in mind while WTG does put out decent quality a lot of the time, when he fucks up, you're putting in a shitload of elbow grease to fix the model and it gets even worse when you're working with old shitty kits like the Warhound and Reaver.
>Would you play with people who use them?
From a meta standpoint, they're almost always remarkably terrible for their points costs, so you're going to be stuck using them for casual games. You won't be able to fit a Reaver in a standard 2k points game, so those will be forever relegated to Apocalypse scale matches. From a gameplay standpoint, I hope that you don't mind me having to shuffle around and roll dice for upwards of 60+ orks for each Warhound that you brought, and even more for Reaver titans. And as with any Forge World kit, you should get comfortable with the extremely high probability that they will no longer have 40k rules in the close future.
>How do you get people with that buttermilk bob mentality off your back?
See above.
