For this instalment of This Week In Non-Competitive Gaming, I thought I would tackle the most controversial issue at this time, namely Citadel Finecast.
One simply has to cast their eyes upon any blog or forum to be bombarded by a deluge of nerd raging, coma inducing posts about Finecast, orientated towards the price and quality.

Honestly, the detail is amazing on these guys, the Death Jester's base is a prime example of this. A every single rivet is clearly visible, which when I look at the metal verison, I cannot even see!

To test the strength of the material by hurling dropping a fortunate (Pun!) Farseer, which just bounced around, without a single chip or breakage.
The models went together nicely, are light and not overtly toxic. I did a very dodgy cutting job in my room, went to sleep, woke up perfectly healthily, unlike far less exposure from FW resin leading to sickness. Also, the releasing agent is already cleaned off, so no baths needed!
Well, there we have it!
Thoughts, criticisms, unfathomable rage?

Maybe GW has started to get their production and quality control in line now. Ofcourse I just saw two other posts today with shoddy finecast stuff.
Maybe, considering this was bought recently...
