The Necron special characters are not terrible in Finecast. All the ones I got came out alright. I think it may be because they were designed for the resin, compared to a bunch of old moulds that just started to have to use it.

To be clear, 'Fine'cast doesn't use the same moulds, just the same master models.

The pics of the old metals weren't metal. GW's studio models were resin long before 'Fine'cast came along. As I understand it, as part of the development process they used to cast up a small batch of each new model in resin, as the resin showed flaws better than metal. The models sent to the 'Eavy Metal crew for painting were generally from this resin batch, as were a lot of the 'upcoming model' previews at Games Days (leading to a lot of 'OMG, [new model] is coming in plastic!' speculation after every Games Day as people got confused by the grey resin models on display... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929817.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

The more modern ones have been okay, with a few exceptions.

It's pretty terrible however, if there are a lot of fine details or very thin bits like mechandrites etc.

Nope.
Finecast Thrakka has been replaced five times by GW until I got one that has only slight damage which could pass as battle damage and I was sick of waiting.
I checked a total of 14 finecast KFF meks across three stores not a single one was damaged little enough to be salvageable through green stuff.

One kit of finecast tank bustas was damaged so badly that some rokkits weren't even attached to their models anymore and half the face of a squig was missing.

I'd rather GW just go through their whole catalogue and update nearly everything that is finecast. Because I remember being stuck with it when it was at it's worst. Especially with how weirdly shaped much to the available Tau models were at the time.

Had to take six different attempts at getting a usable Draigo for my GK army.
Two of them showed up with no arms, one had a bubble that reached all the way through the model and a shield that was basically useless. The others were either horribly twisted, or broken and way too brittle to work with.

The problem is its totally unreliable and can have errors that run through huge batches of models without end. No one likes having to ask for replacements and getting failed replacement after replacement starts to feel really bad. Plus the failures are often bubbles and losses of detail or parts in big chunks. It's not like a small single air bubble in most resins where a small dab of filler fixes it.

Finecast was a mistake and I'm also surprised GW has kept it around as long gas they have and hasn't gone back to metal for those models that had metal castings (Skaven still have a good chunk of metal). That said its clear that GW is moving on from it, its just taking time.


One bonus is perhaps it pushed GW to really work on their plastics to the point where they are today really pushing out some top rate models. Though I think Hawk Wargames has perhaps got the edge on super fine details with plastics (though not an edge in terms of sculpt design for the mould - FAR too many cases of lots of ridges and dots all along the mould line join).



There are some sculpts I really like being done in finecast, but I don't want them to remain. I don't want to lose the models, like the cockatrice for AoS, but at the same time I really don't want GW to keep finecast around. It's just not reliable enough. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929957.page GMT Re:What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer GW's improved it lately or I got lucky recently, I had THREE finecast models delivered to me (Njal in termy armor, wolf lord on thunder wolf and Arjac) the worst I can say about the quality of the models is a slllight bend on the wolf lords axe heft ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10929986.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

Got 3 zoans, 3 lictors and 3 venomthropes plus 18 spore mines.

None of them had issues.

Zoans and venoms have been already remade in plastic though, so if I had to vote for a model to keep in finecast for a little while, I would say the Lictor. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930049.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930049.page GMT Re:What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

The difficulty of Finecast is that they took models designed in metal and just redid them in resin. Resin can stick around as long as it likes if they start designing models in resin instead of the hasty conversion business.


Honestly, it's not even that. You can get really good resin casts out of molds meant for metal without retooling. You just need to degas efficiently, or use a resin that sets up slow enough to allow the air to escape completely. The reason finecast is so bad os because GW deliberately went with a very cheap resin that has a super fast cure time and they aren't degassing it (or the cure time is so fast the degasing isn't helping). This is also why Finecast is often so brittle. In this way, they can cast so many that a high scrap-rate is meaningless and it's still more profitable to just replace bad casts over and over.

If they had gone w/a higher quality resin w/a slower cure time, it would be a different story imo.

As far as which one I'd be ok with sticking around for a while? Honestly none. I had really good luck with the few Finecast models I bought - no bad holes in them, no missing body parts, etc. But I know if I look at them too hard SOMETHING is going to snap off. Let's not be having any more of that ... get rid of Finecast already ...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930425.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

The contrast with the failcast Eldar Rangers I got (and instantly regretted) is stark. I don't want to even think about how the hydra scale armor details would look in failcast, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell what it was, it'd just look lumpy.

Failcast is just so obviously a cheap budget knock-off they introduced solely for reasons of corporate greed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930623.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

I even grabbed a few demon models in metal before they went finecast as well. Metal is fine to work with, finecast just isn't.

Sadly everyone else agrees!!




Then again I wish GW would give us a months notice and then do another Slaanesh "Diaz Deamonettes" casting. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930652.page GMT Re:What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

They've had 4 Codices since the original book that introduced the Thunderfire to make it plastic.

What you have to watch for is GW getting the "bright idea" that, already having plastic Ur-Ghuls, a Court of the Archon box would be good, and then make a box containting 1 of each of the Ur-Ghuls, Sslyth, Lhamaeans and Medusae.

Cos, you know, people will always field all 4 models, as GW intends....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930955.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930955.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

There is a Haemonculus sculpt in finecast that sells for tons on ebay. I don't think it was ever produced in metal.


Crucifixion-posed dude? Yeah I had to track one of them down, much prefer it to the current plastic one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930961.page GMT What Finecast are you happy with sticking around a bit longer

If GW announced a "Court of the Archon" box with 1 of each in plastic with updated sculpts.....I wouldn't hesitate to pre-order ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792125/10930963.page GMT
