Citadel Finecast

So, now that they have come out, anyone have real strong opinions?
I know that I like the movement to 4 models per pack in the LoTR line.  We will not have to buy 8 blisters(anymore) to get an even amount for WoTR movement trays.  2 packs per company for elites is pretty reasonable.   I have seen some pretty bad miscasts but I think those will become fewer and fewer as GW catch up with demand and QA picks up, but maybe I am wrong.  You can check out Warseer and BoLS for a great number of fincast pics.

So, today should be the big announcement about metals-update

So, a couple of things, 1-today should be an announcement about metal figures and why they are being pulled from general circulation, I have heard that it will be called Citadel Finecast ( according to the German GW website ), which will begin on May 28th.

So, of course,  it seems GW takes this to mean they can increase prices.  Maybe the US prices will not change.
First news in british pounds i converted to US $

Starting from the 28th of May 120 products that were Games Workshop direct only items will be coming back on the shelves as resin or resin Hybrids. This new range “Citadel Fine Cast” range will be limited in number for the first few months, so we will be taking advance orders for them.

Full details for the products and prices will be available later today.

Rumors Rumors Rumors-metals to resin/plastic

Still much ado about nothing as far as GW is concerned.  Some metal Fantasy models are now up to 6-8 week shipping delays.  Same with 40K, although most seem to be in the 1-4 weeks range.    Supposed to be big news on May 16th about this, we shall see.  There is also rumblings of some large Lord of The Rings releases/things to come.  Anyone want to make some guesses?  
Also added a widget that displays where/when and what we are playing during the week or weekend.

Don't forget about this , donate for a chance to win some 40K, and to support a good cause.
