I am not sure if I like or dislike them all, I have had mixed dealings with Finecasts

the prices are terrible too, 5 thunder hammers and storm shields for 20$ same goes for the lighting claws

Gabriel Seth and Chaplain Grimaldus look amazing

Wraithguard are now 5 for $60. Who remembers what the blisters used to cost? I'm trying to figure out if they went up or down a fraction...

The best:

16% discount on the old metal UK price, not too bad and certainly needed.

I'd also say that they probably look quite nifty in finecast.

And hobbyists around the world responded with a resounding 'meh'.

converting wraithguard now is actually doable without a chainsaw.


also shrieker jetbike: £5?!

every eldar player has hundreds of spare cannons: and for £5 you could but a box of 5 guardians and use them!


madness

i do like the guardian/ converison kit though! shame about the marine vet weapons and shing spears looking fairly terrible :(


p.s. why on earth is there no lance option for the exarch? do people not use star lances?

I was looking at the picture for the Sternguard upgrade kit and was wondering why they posted a pic with the lightning claws bent. Also does anyone else feel that they look like some shoddy product CHS would release?

Cobi weapons? meh, Lightning claws? well CHS's lightning claws kick GW's lightning claws ***.

*Blows a loud Raspberry*Sure you're not being more than a little biased? :P The GW finecast combiweapons are clunky, poorly designed and don't even have straight lines in the publicity photos. CH's have a decent integrated design, and the added functionality of being easily magnetized.

I don't need to say anything about GW's hilariously flaccid finecast Lightning Claws :P

Okay you obviously didn't get what i meant by the raspberry, i was admitting defeat and just blowing a raspberry in your direction :P

Not sure why they've done the Lightning Claws. Sculpts are over a decade old, and frankly, unnecessary. Want Lightning Claw Terminators? Then buy the Assault Terminators. Problem solved without it ever actually being a problem.

do people not use star lances?


If you're smart you do.

Str 8 power weapon hitting at I6?

He's a great challenge character to use if you can instant kill the opponent with Str 8

I'm looking forward to all the jokes one will be able to make if those Finecast star lances wilt in the heat.

'Stubby AND flaccid, teehee!'

Replaced the lances on mine with plastic bits from a bretonnian kit or some GW kit, much nicer.

I'm quite grateful I managed to get some of these in metal just in time. Cheaper and properly cast :)
