Seems to answer most folks concerns about it's toxicity and brittleness. The pic of the guy bending the sword = :shock: Still doesn't explain why it's more expensive though :cry:
Thats actually quite impressive, and its nice to hear that they wont give you lung cancer.
Still, they're expensive. :cry:

Hahahaha this is the official model on the GW homepage.

According to one report on the internet, people have been buying the new models, opening them in the store and immeadiately returning them due to the high number of defects and moulding issues. One can only assume that the picture above is the best one that GW had available at the time.

hahahaha :lol: :lol:

I just checked the space marine terminator librarian, and found the same picture. That's just crazy!
Even if that would be the best picture they had, they shouldn't do that! :lol:

Pfah! A true hobbyist would be invigorated by the chance to work with green stuff and make the model his own!

I can imagine this being part of the next GW advertising blurb;
Our Citadel Finecast models are the latest step in hobby evolution, providing you with incredibly detailed, high-quality resin kits to bolster your army. Painting and modelling Citadel miniatures has never been as rewarding as this.

What is equally rewarding is the joy that hobbyists can get from the hours of gap filling that your new collection of models will need. Now, for the first time, you the gamer can feel part of the production process with the new Citadel Green Stuff. We spent years scouring the planet for ingredients to make our new revolutionary modelling putty. It has been made greener and stuffier than ever before with the addition of leprechaun semen.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and join the fun!

The bit about deep striking LandRaiders was bloody funny.

"Everyone who is going to collect blood angles leave."

After seeing the Nagoyahammer blood angle numbers, all I can say is no surprise there.

More pictures of "Finecast" (I think the irony quotes will be necessary from here on out)

http://s1100.photobucket.com/albums/g40 ... /Finecast/

Guy says he bought $130 worth of stuff, every single piece of which had major defects.

What will your first "Finecast" model be?

Thats quite shockingly bad really. I've seen mixed reviews on Warseer etc, but that looks like he basically paid for a bunch of cheap knock-offs rather than the newest, bestest, most finest cast "Finecast" minis on the market.
Poor guy.

Feel sorry for the guy too, that is some disgusting QC they must have on their products.
