The Failcost Shokk Attack Gun my friend bought didn't have any more detail than the metal version despite GW telling me that Failcost was the greatest human invention since electricity, is made out of a far cheaper material to the metal one, didn't come with two in the box like Mantic's new models, and yet it cost a lot more than the metal one. Why is that?

Go get a sandectomy instead of de-railing the thread.


Emperors Champion, no defects.
Ghazkull Thraka, one sprue really messed up. Still trying to get my thumb out and go replace it.

the messed up one is it the right arm big shoota?

Because I got the same had to calve out the details with my knife because there is a serious problem with the mold.

Other than that I have:

Calgar kit - perfect not even many mold lines
Dante - mold lines
astorath - perfect little mold lines
libby - perfect with little mold lines
Gahzkull - bit more bubbles and a messed up right arm
crowe - perfect little mold liens
templar champion - perfect
coteaz - perfect
archon - perfect
lilith - looks fine still not built

*NEW* inquisitor karamazov - very good so far no mis cast parts, some bent part but easily fixed, still building i will make a tutorial video showing the parts.


Overall, finecast is not as bad as you think.

For my own part, I have refused to buy so much as a single finecast mini due to two reasons, and these are mostly principle:
1) The material is cheap
2) Finecast costs more than the "expensive" material they wanted to replace.

bits missing is not finecast fault it's just packaging things drop off

4 boxes is 20 so your saying it's a 50% success rate, either your friend is very picky or there is a serious fault in the molds

I can understand if it's 2-3 but 10 miscast is just exagerating a bit. I would actully love to see those models.
