Im going to go out on a limb and say not all off these are going to be put into fine cast, to me the bonesword and lashwhip add on wouldn't make any sense to make it Finecast along with some other models on that list.

Wow... er... 10 days to fill a Dialogus mini order though? They aren't used much... I'd be surprised that they're out of those...

I know the single sister minis I've been ordering as of late to fill out my army to 4k points, has been in the white blisters and not their standard blue/black background... maybe something to this...

Are they not already in Finecast or have I misread the info?

OK, I think GW is going way overboard trying to finecast A Thousand Sons and Propero Burns CDs.

A few RoRs on that list, always would be nice for some kind of comeback

I did always think the split metal/plastic kits were goofy but I'd think the destroyer lord gets the finecast treatment before the heavy destroyer does.

Or is the list a mixed backlog of junk?

Some of the listed things are already in Finecast like Canis Wolfborn, the Dark Eldar Sslyth, and the Lash Whip/Bonesword combo; it even says on the website. Other things, like the XV-88 Broadside, have been unavailable for a very long time; it is highly unlikely that this is news of any sort.

I find it unlikely that the old Dogs of War stuff will be done in finecast. Either they have to cast it to order or they are phasing them out permanently.

There's no way GW sells enough of the old Regiments of Reknown to justify finecasting them (I didn't realise they even sold them still until I saw this thread).

Edited the list to improve its readablility (and given the numbers, it is just restock of items, whether they are Finecast, metal or audiobooks).

This is just pouring some metal into existing moulds, minor restock schedule, not even a metal to finecast conversion, nothing to worry about. So don't panic

They're resin, but they're not finecast. They have no finecast labels on them, and they're not under the finecast category on the website.

Regarding finecast Plaguebearers and the rumour about the plastic plaguebearers in the 6th edition starter, remember, the Hive Tyrant had a Finecast model done. Now it has a plastic.

Again: Same number -> Same material. This is just a restock.
