The title is pretty self-explanatory, do you get any options on the Autarch or are you stuck with the Shuriken Pistol and Power weapon?

Finecast is currently just identical to the metal models, being they're just using the metal moulds atm.

Doesn't say me much, I know nothing about the metal models...

no they aren't, they re-made the moulds using the original greens, to bring out more of the detail. but you are correct, the options are identical

The options are all the same. Depending on which blister you end up getting, it'll come with the standard weapons, the reaper launcher, fustion pistol, power weapon, jump pack, etc.

No, he is correct. The molding methods between liquid metal (centrifuge) and liquid resin (open pour) are different. They are different molds, made from the same masters.

Which are made from...


RESIN!

Uh, ok? I'm not following you. I doubt the masters are made of resin, I would think they would be made out of sculpting putty.

the masters are made from green stuff (or an equivalent) they don't make masters out of resin because you can'y sculpt resin

The original sculpt is made from Green Stuff or whatever, hence why they are called "Greens". These greens are then cast into a Resin master that is use to make the production molds (for metal models). It is this Resin Master that is used to re-create the finecast molds.
