I need berserkers for my Isengard army and was thinking about getting the fine cast set ,but should I get the fine cast set with 4 berserkers or the siege troop set with 2 berserkers, 6 uruk hai with bombs and ladders. There both around the same price but which should I get?The bombs would come in handy for sieges and so would the ladders, and are fine cast worth the money?.
Any advice would be great, thanks.

Unless you are actually intending to use the siege crew I would just buy the Beserker blister as you get two more beserkers. To save money thought you should just look for bargains on eBay, so much cheaper! Hope this helped.

And with the siege troops you get more to paint.

I'd buy finecast but make sure you remember 3 things
1) flash is easy to remove
2) hot water makes resin bendy if you want to straighten swords
3) holes can be filled with super glue or green stuff.

I bought some beserkers and crossbows from finecast that were near perfect, but my crossbows were warped and covered in flash. 20 minutes later and they were fine.

If it's in your budget, I'd get both. You'd end up with 6 crazies and siege equipment with 8 (not 6) Uruk-hai engineers. :-D Like cereal-thief said, the Fine-cast isn't that hard to fix. I have both the metal blister and Fine-cast Berserkers painted and I have a hard time telling the difference. (Besides the weight, of course :wink: ). With an Isengard army, quite a few Berserkers are needed, in my opinion. :-D
