No more Finecast after 2016 - manrogue - 22-08-2013 Spotted this on Dakka (where else? ), so thought i would do my usual copy paste job- Kroothawk Made in de [DCM] Rumour Tracker on Knarloc - Not sure if anyone can predict what will happen to GW after Tom Kirby is done with it, but here you are: anonymous source on faeit212 wrote:GW wants to limit coming Finecast releases. In the future, there will be only Characters and re-casts in Resin released No new Finecast releases after 2016 Sounds like a total suicidal idea, but could sound reasonable to GW management. RE: No more Finecast after 2016 - Gareth - 22-08-2013 Sounds like a brilliant idea to me Vince. Honestly what Finecast stuff has come out recently. The vast majority has been special characters from what I can recall. Plastic sculpting is far superior, is much easier to produce from a company stand point, once moulds/stamps have been produced. Only issue I have, is that the standard character choices being so dynamically posed can go together in one way, and usually have a piece of scenery attached, so there is little variety between duplicates. But we have only seen re-casts and characters in resin since its introduction. RE: No more Finecast after 2016 - manrogue - 22-08-2013 The current rumour is that plan to go all plastic for units and forge world style resin for special characters.
