NOT FailCast Myrmidon Destructors Review

It's hard to argue that Forge World's release of the Mechanicum line hasn't been a huge success  
The Mechanicum have been a long time fan favourite, and to be able to build a Heresy-era Mechanicum army has been exciting for lots of players.
Well today I have for you the brand new NOT FailCast version of the Forge World Mechanicum Myrmidon Destructors - the heavy hitters of the Mechanicum army.
First thing you notice is the size of these guys! I honestly expected Marine-sized, but these guys would dominate any battlefield  - more like Chaos Marine Obliterators in mass. So how do good are the NOT FailCast versions?+ + More after the jump + +

I am not a photographer, so expect dodgy pictures below 

NOT FailCast have massively increased their range in the past little while and their Myrmidon Destructors are another addition to their Mechanicum range.

Contents

Here's the set! 3 x figures, 3 x heavy weapons, 3 x arms, 6 x cables and 6 x shoulder armours.

Weapons

The heavy weapons included are the Conversion Beamer, Irradiation Engine and the Volkite Culverin.
The alternate arm is not unlike a Servitor-style arm.
All the detail is very crisp and clean. There is little or no flash. I found a toothbrush rubbed all over the bits takes it off really easily as it's very thin.

The shoulder armour is all identical with a reasonably thick resin sprue. Luckily there is an indentation where the sprue can be easily cut off. You can see the detail on all these pieces is very nice. There also seems to be very little mould lines evident. I wonder if NOT FineCast clean them off before recasting?

Miniatures

The details on this miniature is just great! So clean and crisp. None of the thin details are obscured or cluttered by bad moulding or the mysteries of 3D printing. 
Have a look at the detail of skull inside it's chest - this is good stuff!
You'll notice that the cape is a little thin on the edge on the picture below - there are a few places this has happened but the detail is strong and not breakable!

The 2nd of the 3 miniatures is only non-hooded figure - very steampunk in appearance with some very gnarlie looking bum armour (well what else would you call it?)
His powerplant is more prominent than the rest as he's hunched over more and the level of detail inside and around it is very crisp! It will be great fun to paint!

Finally the 3rd guy would make an amazing Rogue Trader conversion - but mostly he's a guy in a hood! Inside his hood is a detailed face with steampunk goggles. His chest armour is reminiscent of a Techmarine or Warsmith. He's really nice!!

Assembled Myrmidon Destructor - Pew-pew!!

I decided to go for the Volkite Culverin on this guy for no other reason than I love the Volkite weaponry!
His stance is dynamic and dominant with his powerplant looming high above his head.

Details

As I said previously, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail - there isn't one cable that isn't perfect on all three models. All the insignia are clear and crisp.
The plastic/ resin is different from Forge World, but hold detail well and glues very easily. There are no repeats of the incidents like Anvil Industries or the Spartan Games fiasco!

There's some interesting discolouration on the bases of one or two of them, but the plastic isn't brittle or hollow or marked in any way!

Here's a shot of the Servitor-style arm. The detail is again really nice. It actually improves once you wash the resin/ plastic. Some of the sheen comes off and you can really see how nice these miniatures are.

Conclusion

These are really very nice miniatures - and at $36 rather than 36 UK Pounds, they are good value - pretty much 1/2 price!
As I said above, the plastic/ resin on these is crisp and clean, it holds detail and doesn't feel brittle - a common complaint I hear about some Chinese recasters. 
It's obvious the NOT FailCast guys have put a fair bit of work into bringing these to us and have done a very good job!
