tonight's post is a review of the 40k 25th anniversary mini!
 |
| drive me closer so i can hit them with my head, no my other head! |
 |
| its one of those flip out boxes :D |
price:
at £20 for a single mini the price may initially seem quite steep, and it is: for that price you could get a whole squad! however a finecast terminator (which is smaller) is £18 combined with the quality and limited factors compared to other GW minis it is worth the price! (but it still is a tad pricey)

| the aforementioned pistol of dubious origins |
 |
| the banner: note the detail and slightly warped pole |
Quality:
the quality of this mini id say is the best finecast experience ive had so far! most likely because GW didn't want so send out replacements of a limited mini the amount of flaws in this model was incredibly minimal! the only ones i noticed were some INCREDIBLY tiny air bubbles, some tiny mold lines a a small bit of flash on the shoulder: overall the mini only took 2 mins to prepare unlike the other finecast minis i have worked with.
 |
| the amazing box! |
overall:
5/5
A moderately expensive mini but if your willing to shell out the cash on it you will NOT be disappointed!
frankly the only improvement would e that if they included a plinth :P

Interesting. I've been hoping to see some reviews. I bought one but mine's missing his colar and his backpack has got multiple holes in it. I'm waiting to hear back from customer service to see if they can replace it. This is my first finecast buy, too.
that must be really annoying :( i know from a previous finecast that the wee collar plates are amoung the hardest bits to fix! hopefully GW will send you a replacement soon!
thanks for commenting

Update: They cast up a new sprue for me. There's now quite a lot of clean-up to do, but the miniature itself is fine now. So, I still haven't become a convert to finecast, but thumbs up to customer service once again.
woo thats great news :D
