Nightwing Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So the new Games Workshop site is live, and a lot of the models I looked at were mentioned as 'finely detailed resin cast miniatures'. Is this basically finecast without the label, or have they fixed it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289413-finecast/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith776 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Only one way to find out I suppose :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289413-finecast/#findComment-3650044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothalor Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm fairly confident it's just Finecast with the brand taken off. From what I remember, there was some report within the last few years about how the negative publicity from their initial Finecast releases really hurt GW. They're probably looking to distance themselves from a tarnished name.

Forté Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm fairly confident it's just Failcast with the brand taken off to make people think it's better quality. From what I remember, there was some report within the last few years about how the negative publicity from their initial Finecast releases really hurt GW. They're probably looking to distance themselves from a tarnished name. Corrected for you.

Storm Warden Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Im rather certain it's finecast. I remember the same description of "finely detailed resin" under their finecast models prior to the website change. And, after purchasing several Forgeworld models, realize they are a similar material. While it may be true that the finecast models are resin, and finely detailed, they are a weaker and more brittle version of what forgeworld uses. Also, I have found that the fine cast bits are easier to put together in some respects, but tend to break more often than plastic. I hope that helps.

reckoning Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just got an order with 3 finecast HQ. Only a few air bubbles along armor edges among all of them. Then again, I always had decent luck with Finecast. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289413-finecast/#findComment-3660108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
