6th of August I've heard.

**grak**

Still no finecast Necrons, more chance of an overhaul of sorts.

Resin Greater Daemons should be great. The Bloodthirster was one of the few models I've ever pinned.

**Kanluwen**

*blink*

Does that say Dark Elf Hydra, Dreadlord on Cold One, and Dark Angels Master of the Ravenwing?

The three models I've been wanting to paint for so long but refuse to get because they're metal.

Touche, GW. Touche.

**Space_Potato**

Hopefully this second wave will show a general improvement in the molding/mixing.

If not....

It's a summer release

**Grot 6**

Brace for Impact!!!

BOHICA

**MajorTom11**

Meh still no Sanguinor... would finally be able to lop of that rick james head easily!

**Hammerziet**

Do we have any idea on how regular these waves are going to be?

Also yay Karamazov

**Le Grognard**

Here's hoping for a better second date. Just like in real life, the first one is always akward.

**Goliath**

Khorne Lord on Juggernaut

The model that I really wanted to get, but didn't due to my dislike of large chunks of metal after the Gondor Trebuchet incident. (speaking of which...

)

**kenshin620**

Interested in Inquisitor Karamazov and the Greater Daemons. Hopefully the quality gets a bit better

**cygnnus**

Hmmm... That Lord of Change is one of the few models that could get me to consider buying anything in Finecast at this point.

Well, that and Karamazov, but I already have him in metal.

Valete,

JohnS

**Seriphis**

and Dark Angels Master of the Ravenwing?

+1 for me, i really didnt want to have a metal ball for a model on a flying base, seems like a bad long term investment.

**Ralin Givens**

The resin Dragon will be great as that models a pain

**Swordwind**

*twiddles thumbs for Shining Spears and Swooping Hawks*

Yes, I know they're useless, but they look cool.

**Nick Ellingworth**

Looks like there might be a pair of Hydras in my future, it'll be nice to use Hydras which don't fall apart if you just look at them.

**Brother SRM**

Warp Spiders? Really? I find it funny that models old enough to vote are getting the Finecast treatment.

**DarkStarSabre**

Ooooh. Hydra.

If they get the casting issues sorted by then then I may be a very happy man. A hydra that's -not- going to be a PITA to assemble.

**thenoobbomb**

MajorTom11 wrote:Meh still no Sanguinor... would finally be able to lop of that rick james head easily!

yes. Sanguinor should be good. I would hate to do anything with his backpack in metal...
Now, I also want Mephiston in Finecast.. Keep on dreaming, thenoobbomb, keep on dreaming.

**Flachzange**

Khorn Lord on Juggernaut
Greater Daemon of Khorne
Greater Daemon of Tzeentch

**Swordwind**

Also, kind of glad that this release is smaller. Hopefully GW won't have to rush as much as the first batch, and the models would be higher quality.

We hope.

**Skinnereal**

Brother SRM wrote:Warp Spiders? Really?

Don't care. Want some anyway.

**Ashrag**

Still no Obliberators :( -
I'm waiting for them since they were quite a pain in metal - everytime I look, another weapon breaks off or just won't stay where it's supposed to be ...

**mazik765**

Too bad, I was really hoping for a finecast Weirdboy to replace my metal one that I destroyed :(

**Warnolo**

But.. sorry if i'm an ignorant, is resin the same as plastic?

**Swordwind**

Warnolo wrote:But.. sorry if i'm an ignorant, is resin the same as plastic?

It's a plastic, but not the same type as the kind that Tactical Marines and suchlike are made out of, which is PVC.

**The_Solitaire**

Come on GW, make some wraithguard

And why still no fire dragons?

**Memnoch**

Must say the Finecast Greater Daemons are calling to me.......

**Samus666**

I'm just relieved that no more of the minis I want are going to Finecast yet

**Avatar 720**

I'd be more excited about the Slann if I had the money to expand my Lizardmen army to require two. The metal one was a pain to model. They gave us a plastic rod to hold up the model, but it couldn't support it (not helped by a badly created hole that meant the flying stand didn't sit properly, but talking to other LM players I discovered it was pretty-much standard with Slann, so I decided not to return it as i'd probably just get the same issue over and over with the new model).

Now it's resin, the rod might actually stand a chance.

I'm also waiting for obliterators and wraithguard... or I was until I realised I was still going to be paying obscene prices for a single model.
