New Finecast releases

[Starchild]

@Born Again: The servitors with servo arms are from 2nd edition. I'm surprised to see them again!

[Cthell]

Also, the XV-15s compare favourably with the XV-25s on price - for £4 less you only lose the marker drone and the locator beacon doohicky

[Sami]

Can't believe they actually re-released the slaves...

[O'Mont'au]

The XV-15s are a great value. For less money you get better looking models. It's a win-win.

[lordbeefy]

ooo, didnt notice at first the big gunz range for the orks, lovely, i will be buying a group of three for them then.

[MikeyB]

£10 for an assassin model from 2nd ed? Why would you ever buy anything direct from games workshop?

[DemonClaw]

Nice, they finecasted a bunch of the Ork characters. I've been looking to convert some of those for a while now.

Not thrilled about the big guns, but then those sculpts have never done it for me. I'll go Forgeworld or conversions for the artillery pieces, as 6th has improved them.

I agree on the guns, though interested in getting 1 of each just for the grots

[Wrath]

I much prefer XV15s. Some players use the XV25 for the 'ui and XV15s for 'la.

[MajorWesJanson]

Big Guns seem like one of those easy to do plastic kits for orks. Take the options from the Battlewagon, add carriages, maybe add an AA gun option, then some grot crew and bam, plastic kit.
Glad to see the old servitors. As for farsight, I expect him to not be updated because parts will be included in an updated Tau Battlesuit box (with broadside and commander parts, as a 3 pack) but there are enough Farsights in stock still to justify not finecasting him.

Not those ones, the ones with the heavy weapons, on the right of each picture. They're not the same as the ones in the Techmarine with servitors box, and I'm quite certain I haven't seen them before.

[MajorWesJanson]

One is from one of the old Inquisitor with retinue box sets, either the WH one or Coteaz.

MajorWesJanson hit it: the multi-melta servitor is from the Inq. Lord Coteaz box set. The plasma gun is a blister pack item, IIRC. They're both "Gun Servitors" from Codex Daemonhunters / Codex Witch Hunters, back in '03.

[prowla]

Am I the only one who finds it interesting they finecasted the old xv15 stealth armour?

Is there anything they wouldn't finecast? Pretty much anything they could make a nickle from is in finecast. And the nickle is around 8 cents..

Great. More failcast miniatures. This is horrible news.

[MajorWesJanson]

Great. More failcast miniatures. This is horrible news.

Great. More negative posting using an overused nickname. This is a horrible post.

Is it still 2011? Is it still the "hip" thing to crap on all finecast

I love the nob with waaagh modal. Disappointed in drahzal didn't get a new modal

[neko]

Yes, it's always terrible to find that you now have options that you didn't have previously...

When they are still crap, yea still hip.

I like the fact that the Tau stuff is upgrades, but man that price still hurts.

[eldargal]

Ooh, khymera reduced to a more reasonable price, glad I didn't go and buy lots of metal. Only 5.

Is it 2012, and GW still hasn't got good quality control?
Companies should not be rewarded by their customers for putting out shoddy product. It just encourages more of the same.
