To use the World of Warcraft-generations way of speaking; Epic fail. The hair is just pure comedy gold though.

Think this demands a pubic enquiry.

GW finally give something away for free but haven’t quite worked out the concept.
or is it a sign that they are pulling their hair out over quality of Finecast?

Out of 60 blisters 33 were flawed/with fails. That is 55% as they say on wayland games!

Grey Knights are banned in your local Games Workshop? Which store is that? I’m pretty sure if you phoned customer service to ask about that they’d be upset that a store was restricting the use of any official army, let alone one that came with a massive expensive to produce wave of plastics.

Interesting turn of events. Having sites like BoW and the various forums criticise the product is one thing, it hurts PR a bit in a specific group, but having whats probably one of the two largest indie dealers of GW in Europe publicly state they are returning all stock because over half of the items they looked at had faults? Thats starting to hurt commercially, which is a whole new ball game. I for one applaud Wayland, its very easy for an indie to just send these out, GW cannot ever be faulted on customer service and they would replace… Read more »

If you saw that in a gw store and pointed it out, they’d probably at £5 to the price.

Okay I’m not a huge fan of the lord of the rings minis so I have no idea what’s actually missing from http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/images/finecastfaults/web_b_item-16.jpg But I’m pretty sure Gothmog would prefer it to be there….

The hairs are a bit nasty but not really as big deal a deal as the missing.. whatever is missing, its not like you’re gonna’ lick the models all over before you paint them. Dear god I hope nobody posts to correct me on that..

for the love of god, it’s not a bowl of soup ppl. i can’t believe that a hair in your blister merits a return…you just want to complain for the sake of complaining. no matter how good the finecast would have been, someone would have bitched about something else…yeah, the finecast isin’t perfect, but you know what, even if it was, someone would find some obscure, small, insignificant detail to moan and groan about. the finecast is in it’s infancy…give it time, and they will improve. that’s the problem with most ppl these days…they want everything done perfect, and they… Read more »

@deathangel said: the finecast is in it’s infancy…give it time…

Why?

If I buy a model now and it has a fault, why should I accept “we’ll get it right next time” as an excuse?

I wouldn’t accept it in any other purchase. Why should I now?

However, I agree that sending it back because of a hair (that may not be a pube) is a bit silly.

I bought a Death Star the other day, but it had an exhaust port in it that’s a potential weak-spot for a lone starfighter to exploit, so I’m not very happy with the designers.

But it’s ok, the’ll get it right next time…

The hair in the packaging is funny and no big deal as was said above. The other problems on the other hand… If someone wants premium cash for what they proclaim as being a premium product then it jolly well ought to be premium quality. Flipping a coin for a 50/50 chance of a good cast is simply not good enough, Give it time and the casts will get worse as I understand it because the moulds will suffer wear and tear, If that s the case, you will have to wait for the mould to be replaced before getting… Read more »

Remember when talking 50% faults, they didnt open any packs up.
You can only see , at best, 50% of any given miniature, and mostly about 30% , by looking at the clampack.

That suggests an even worse fault rate in truth.

Well if you advertised yourself as the best in the world, charged the highest prices and then didn’t construct up to those standards, would you blame people for not being happy with your work? We’re not talking about the vocal minority of those who always find a reason to complain. We’re talking about how is it possible that a company in the current financial climate says their work is the best, prices it very high and then has such a rate of failure. Imagine a new operational procedure or a drug with a 50/50 prognosis. Or a new car model.… Read more »

I think the problem here is that it is Wayland Games …they dont buy the stuff for themselfs ..so it might be no problem for a normal person to find a hair inside …the thing is If I would find a hair in a package I wouldnt buy it and as Wayland Games has to sell this stuff its a legit thing to send those back to GW because in the end they might be left with these.

You’re damn right people want their construction done perfectly. They are paying premium prices for skilled tradesmen to deliver a product and service they are trained to provide. I’ve seen enough “full of themselves” contractors, electricians, plumbers and carpenters who can’t do a job properly to know. People don’t pay you to do things half-arsed and they don’t pay for a good enough job. They pay for a specific service. If you don’t provide that service, you don’t deserve to be in business. The same goes for GW. They claim to be the biggest and best in the business. They… Read more »

what the betty is wrong with you? A HAIR is not acceptable in ANY product, let alone one at such an inflated, vicious price! GW Fanboi omgz. GW gets away with what almost NO other products or companies would get away with.

If they call themselves FINECAST and charge £36 for a Shaggoth then you EXPECT a HIGH level of quality. GW dropped the ball and they deserve all the negative consequences that come with it. HAIR in the package for crying out loud! You like hair in your KFC?

If GW charge £15 for a single human-sized miniature I’m going to expect absolute perfection. Their justification for that price tag is that these are the “best miniatures in the world”. Well, at that price they had better be! If it doesn’t march right out of the packaging and salute me, I’m gonna complain! GW need to either man up to the quality issues, or reduce the price to levels charged by other companies. Either way, even one bubble, or pube, is too much!

This is to both Spider and Jonatanrullman.

We updated these comments constantly to ensure that as many customers were aware of the issues prior to ordering. It is incredibly frustrating for us not to be able to plan adequately for all situations, but when a dominant supplier changes terms in… Read more »
