And the Finecast models are looking tight. The detail just looks so much finer and crisper.

Stupid question time, since I haven't read the GW site or any WD, what is finecast. I saw they have ads on the gW site...but....what is it?
Just the specail characters and such, recast in resin? What I saw on the site, nothing was new.
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)

They're recasting all of their metal figures in resin now. They still haven't announced exactly what type of resin they're using, to my knowledge, but the models are looking a lot nicer.

You can still get some metal figs, but they've stopped production on them.

I just want to know if it is easier to remove the mold lines then it is on the PP resin. I know the GW stance, I want to know the real world stance.

What's nice is that some of the old, large models that were formerly sold singly in metal are now being packaged in squads/units in Finecast. Ushabti are up for preorder already, and are actually FAR cheaper in that formation/material than they ever were as single metal models. Ever so slightly offsets the bump in price of other Finecast pieces, if you're building a whole new army.

@oAF - Nope. Went on Google Images and found it special for you. had to go through about 7 pages to find a "Kool Aid" man pic I thought was funny/good enough for you. Saw that one and KNEW you were destined for each other. LOL

@jrok - It's not a pic of ME!
