Thanks, however I'm not sure what you're talking about?

Wondering what the time frame is between posting previews and when you guys start selling them.

Ah ok, I will give a general idea of a release date when I post a preview. If I don't, folks can always just ask.

I hope that helps, if not, let me know.

any news on when the Gideon tank is coming steve?

2016...that's the best I can give for now.

What will Gideon tank looks like? Will it has the same hardpoints as Leman Russ and serves as a perfect proxy?

Here is an early WIP render...



There are spots on the sides that could theoretically be used for sponsons. This was not my design but I like it enough that I will keep it as close to the picture above as possible. Some details will change to make casting and printing easier.

Gideon tank looks VERY like PzKfw VI 'Tiger' meow~
does the bow mount always located to the right hand of the driver seat?

 Lone Cat wrote:

More than likely, yes.

That was pretty much the layout for all the medium to heavy German tanks in WW-2 Driver left, Radio operator/bow gunner to the right.

Gideon will be one beefy machine!

Another preview of something from our new post apoc line...

Does this mean leather jackets, hoodies, and jeans?

...and.. maybe motorcycles and/or riding arms/legs?

Oh man that not-tiger is super sexy! When? When may we haz our precious?

Those Sons of Chaos are great, and suitable for a huge variety of modern/futuristic urban/gritty/post-apocalyptic games.

The only downside is that they're so distinctive, most players will only want one set.

Other related parts may follow. These should be out in another month or so.

@Clang: Well, there is also a set wearing helmets...

You could put them in baclavas, have the bottom part covered with neckerchiefs like bandits, helmets and sunglasses, bald heads (Happy and Juice), the DaNamian heads and other personality sets.. really there's a lot of options unless you're trying specifically to do the rest of the cast.

Wow who ever came up with making these are a genius

Capital controls in my country... The only good thing is that I make my army.

Awesome!

A few new releases this week, the first offerings for our new Post Apoc category. Look for additional PA releases over the next few weeks.







This, and so much more, is available right now at our WEBSTORE

GOLIATH! and brilliant

Hail Ceasar!

Yes! Post apoc bits!

More PA parts coming soon, even more coming next year!

-Steve

I am close to finishing up some bodies to go along with the ponytail heads we did recently. These should be out by the end of the year, here's a WIP shot...




-Steve

Well, hello Crysis nanosuit. Please tell me you'll have a Crysis styled head to go with it as well.

Why not...

Thanks for the head's up! I'll be sure to allocate funds for this!

Sale? That may be too enticing, if such a thing is possible.

Very very nice. The post apoc stuff as a lot of potential in a project I am working on.

I finally have a bunch of Post Apoc parts releasing today. Below is just a taste, there is more available at the MAD ROBOT WEBSTORE in the new Post Apoc section.











Thanks
-Steve

You little temptress you

Will be hard to resist some raiders with my current fallout addiction.

I know I could just check n your site but I'm lazy. how much is postage to uk? Or do you have anyone over this side of the pond stocking your bits?

Shipping for most orders is between $9-11. I do have free shipping on any order over $60.

As I have been firmly entrenched in Fallout 4, you can expect lots of neat things next year

Almost like you knew bloodbowl would be rereleased again.

These post apoc guys are awesome!

Any chance you will do a run of post apoc females?

Also, arms with jury-rigged weapons would be cool. Like a spiked fire extinguisher or something that was made from found junk.

Some female wastelanders are definitely in order. As for weapons, there are limitless options so expect some more of those as well. This new line is long term, I want to build it up just like the sci fi stuff.

Awesome. I've been wanting to try your figures out for a while, but hadn't needed anything from your catalog. These post apoc guys, though, are needed. So, so needed.

Hey, that's an awesome idea.
MadRobot. If you make some football compatible arms/hands (throwing ball, tackling, catching etc.) You can easily make a sweet fantasy-football bundle with these bodies. There aren't any good modular human teams for sale that I'm aware of.

Not really something I had considered but you never know.

I never thought I would actually do a set of bear cavalry so, there you go

A post apocalyptic bear riding nun playing not football (American football, not soccer) as a star player now if you find a way to give her tentacles and make her robotic and Titan sized I think you'll have all the bases covered.

Oh and she's a ninja nun too

Only 4 days to go...

Hey folks, one more new item dropping today, just in time for Friday's sale!



These are perfect for customizing to your favorite wasteland style!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US and to all the rest of you, keep being awesome!

@Big H: We do indeed

@mugginns: Much appreciated

Mad Robot, I've got a quick question. Are the 15mm Harook cast in metal or resin? I'm kind of thinking about ordering some.

6 heads 5 bodies.. it's hot dogs/buns all over again!

Seriously though, very cool.. can't wait for the rest of this set.

Oh GOD please tell me these would fit for Haqqislam Kum bikers!

Probably too large as these are designed for heroic scale models whereas Infinity models have more realistic proportions.

Correct, these are heroic scale.

Our 2016 campaign begins in a few weeks! Here's a small taste of what's coming...

Q1 my friend. I start finalizing all the 3D in another week

Very nice heavy weapon.

Not-autocannons <3

Hey Mad Robot, do you have or know of any pics of the Dragon breastplates with any sets of legs? They didn't have betls like a lot of the other torsos so I wasn't sure how they'd look with different leg options, or if there was a particular type of legs they were designed to work with. I went through a bunch of pages on the thread but didn't see anything except just the torsos.

Thank you!

@Chaz: That's our current Autocannon sitting on the new wheeled carriage. There is also a re-design on the tripod coming as well.

@knowman: the bottom edge of the breastplate hangs ever so slightly past the legs it sits on. I don't have any pics currently but I'll try to get one together for you.

 mad robot wrote:

Is this weapon Autocannon or Heavybolter proxy?

We currently sell three different heavy weapons, an auto cannon, a heavy slugger, and a laser cannon.

They are available HERE

Please tell me there's going to be legs for the new tripod in either of these positions..

The Mad Robot labs are always busy working on future projects. Q1 of this year should see our first tank...the Gideon MBT.

Here's a shot of the turret, featuring a battle cannon and our new tank commander.

Looking good so far.

Tiger 1!

Quarter 1? Best set some monies aside for this pronto, looking really good, LOVE the tank commander, and those heavy weapon carriages look ace aswell!

Is the tank commander a single piece or multiple parts?

@Lone Cat: The commander will be parts; torso, arms and head.

 mad robot wrote:

Optional arms? set with field binoculars, or a arm raised to command other tanks forward.

He totally needs a saber! You know, so he can yell: 'Drive me closer so I can hit them with my saber!'

My Steel Legion forces are going to like this one!

I can't buy it myself because of an Inquisitorial self-mandate.. but I can ask for it as a gift, hurrah!

Is it just me, or does that turret look far, far larger than any GW tank turret? I wonder if this tank will be slightly larger than a Leman Russ.

@Shas: Nothing like that immediately, we do have some of that already available in the Heavy Weapon Crewman Arms

@SickSix: Lol, it would be cool to finally bring that meme to life

@RedSarge: Perfect gift idea!

@cuda1179: The turret is bigger than the LR. I believe the entire tank will be about the same width & slightly longer than an LR.

Turret looks good. Very Tiger-y. I imagine there will be gun options to represent most/all of the Russ weaponry?

Any thoughts on doing more vehicles for arty and/or APCs in the same vein?

@Blacksails: 5 weapon options in all, I'll post more previews as the release gets closer. I would like to do more vehicles, large and small, but that depends on how this first attempt sells. I can't see the sense of making a tank and then not making a different one to fight against it

Does its turret compatible with generic GW Lemanruss hull? is there an additional conversion efforts required? meow

@Lone Cat: I really don't know if it will fit a LR tank. I don't have one to check.

Well, with this tank and the Maxmini KV2, maybe consider going American or British?
I'm full up on klunky main battle tanks but if you were to do a sleeker one more in like with the CDF or Van Saars or closer to an Abrams, I might pick one up.
APCs, Dropships/VTOLs, MRAP type stuff.. that's probably going to snag some of my cash pretty easily.

I know you've gotta do whatever sells but I'm much more fond of Vietnam to Modern Era armor if you're able to push in that direction..

EDIT: If you send me one of those turrets I can check for ya

MLaw, theres already a Abrams and a British tank being made, you just got to know where to look

swampy, I know where to get historical ones. I'm talking about sci-fi.. just like the one he is working on is a Sci-Fi tiger. Or do you know about something else?

Victoria Lamb may one day (dunno when, it's been quiet for ages now around that camp) release a sci-fi Matilda tank, with all the currently available weapon options for the turret and sponsons.

I know someone makes a sci-fi Abrams tank with roughly 40k proportions. It even has you use leman Russ hull weapons. I can't recall who makes it at the moment though. I do know I want one. It will go nicely with my kv-2, and this not- tiger.

That would be Treadheadz' awesome Cererus

Yuk.. That think looks more like the Pig-Iron vehicle.. which isn't a bad thing but the only thing Abrams about it is the turret.. which seems like it was swiped off a 1/35 or bigger historical kit. It's too tall or not wide enough.
Either way, thanks for sharing but I think this is a job for Mad Robot (cue heroic theme)

Posting about what else might be available is OK.

If you want to talk about the merits of those other offerings, please take that to a different, more appropriate thread.

There IS sanity to the proportions - Compare any GW vehicle to a RL tank and you'd find the proportions ridiculous - I made the model to fit within a 10% margin, that I found reasonable for a "counts as" model - And yes, I took heavy inspiration from the Abrams, since my IG run a more modern/near future look as opposed to Grimdark-Lets-Cover-Everything-In-Skulls-And-Spikes-Tchno-Goth - Its not for everyone, but then it was never intended so...

This is what i was trying to avoid in the first place lol. Yes it was Treadheaz tank but it seems to have been blown out of the water discussion wise. Sorry Mad robot.

No harm done folks, I happen to like the Cerebrus and I hope there are people out there using it blow the crap out of the enemy...lol.

Getting back on track, I'm happy to announce that our latest offering, the Vanderbilt Fighters, will be releasing Friday.

Here's a sneak peek...

Is that one of the Juve bodies? I like the suit design a lot. It looks like a cross between a Dune movie style Stillsuit and a Crysis Nanosuit. I'm curious, how does the body look with your respirator heads? Are there still plans for a high tech helmet/mask to go with this body?

@Barzam: That's the adult body, more pics tomorrow. Are you talking about the beret heads w/ respirators? I'll try and throw that combo together but it may take a day or so. I want to do a small follow up wave of additional parts once I can get some feedback from people. The helmeted head to match the bodies will happen then, I estimate it will be another month or so.

It's the heroic thing throwing you off. It makes them look stumpy. If you use non-heroic heads on them it minimizes the effect a little.

Awesome models Steve - I do like the Nanosuit resemblance - might just have to convert something with a compound bow from wargames factory' apoc survivors!

Yeah, the beret heads with the respirators. A follow up wave sounds like a cool idea. If you are planning to use the Crysis helmet for inspiration, can I recommend that you consider the far superior multiplayer helmet designs over the single player one?

 Barzam wrote:

Which of the two on the bottom do you prefer?

Probably the CELL style one on the left, though with an opaque visor.

Hey mad robot ! Those nano suits look good the business, I personally prefer the top head , but make them soon !

 Big H wrote:

Glad you like them, I'll do the top one and the bottom left. Look for them in another month or so.

From the looks of things, the top and bottom left helmets actually aren't all that different. The main difference seems to be the visor area. You could probably use the same model and just change up the visor to do both types.

Vanderbilt Fighters have officially launched!





There's a lot to this kit:

-7 Adult heads with ponytails
-5 Teen heads
-6 Adult bodies
-4 Teen bodies
-4 pair Adult rifle arms
-4 pair Adult single weapon arms
-4 pair Teen single weapon arms
-1 pair Heavy weapon arms with gun
-10 Rifles
-1 Special weapon
-3 Hand/Weapon choices

It's all available now at the Mad Robot Webstore

Will they be available in all adult squads? I understand why there are teen bodies but I'm not really playing Necromunda..

Some new heads have released today:









They are available right now in our WEBSTORE

Ooh, very nice. I especially like the gas mask heads. Between the Shock troopers and the greatcoat bits, you could make some very nice pseudo French.

I am really liking the look of the Vanderbilt Fighters. If I get a Necromunda game started again I will definitely keep them in mind.

Whether to go with the new suits or other figures, do you think it would be possible for Mad Robot to make a set of heads along the lines of the ODST helmets from the Halo series? I am having a surprisingly hard time finding anything remotely like them. The only ones I have seen are from Pig Iron, and they are closing up shop and have none left in stock.

@Barzam: Definitely a niche that needed to be addressed

@Slayer Dragonwing: There are some helmeted heads coming soon for the Vanderbilts, not exactly like ODST but similar. Check a few posts ago to see what was suggested.

Ah that's too bad.. went from a must buy to a solid nope

Curious, will there be a ww1 style French leg set to go with those fine heads in Adrian helms? the way the French trench coat sets on the lets is rather unique I find. Torso's will still work, as will any arms. though I wonder if there is a bolt action styled las rifle inbound?

@don.mcclain: nothing like that planned for right now but in the future, that could happen.

New Imperial Adrian helmet heads, what's next?
1. WW1-WW2 'stock and trigger' style laser/automatic rifle
2. Standing collar safari tunic and Safari puttee legs? as seen below

@Lone Cat: I believe some puttee legs will be in order when we do our first regiment of desert troops this year. The other parts are already there; Fatigue Arms, Imperial Torsos 3.

I've been pondering some guns like that for a while but they would require new arm designs to accomidate the different grip. Not sure if that will happen or not.

Will puttee legs follows Tallarn and DKoK patterns? shirtflap outside pants/trousers as in the pictures i've shown here?

Hey madrobot, will we ever see tank track guards or the like? It seems to be something very few 3rd parties do now a days.

You're talking about an alternative for an existing kit? It's doubtful but I wouldn't say "never".

That tends to go towards the fringe of a brand new category for us. My future efforts would more than likely be focused on additional vehicles first. Only then would I really consider some supplemental parts.

More excellent work Steve! I'm particularly impressed with the ponytail heads set, very nicely done mate! :-)

Oh shush you although on a serious-er note, Im going to have to give in and just buy some more heads to paint this year. the urge is becoming too strong, I follow your projects religiously both here and on social media and I am starting an Imperial fist army so hopefully some nice individual heads can make an appearance!

Loving those vanderbilt body suits, for futuristic helmets how about something along these lines?

From Facebook





Also

That guys got no nose! how does he smell??






Terrible :-)

Promising looking stuff!

that USB port is just evil...

Huh. I kind of like the idea of doing Terminator type damaged minis with bits of missing skin. That head would be kind of nice for a Skitarii officer though.

It's also holding a motion tracker. I hadn't noticed, but the one above it with the phone is also smoking a cigarette.

Correct on all accounts. Bad camera angle on the render, just meant to be a sneak peak of the big CDF expansion coming this summer.

Hey folks, I finally have a...

GIDEON MBT UPDATE: Many of you have been asking about the Gideon Tank release so I thought I'd post a quick update. The model is very complex and after failing the first attempt to print it, I had to basically start over and redesign a big chunk of it.

Currently the parts are being printed and I am hoping to have it released by the end of April. I know I previously said Q1, but hey, crap happens
The pic below is still WIP but will give you something to look at

I'll be at Adepticon Saturday morning with a sample of what this baby will look like, come find me if you want to take a peak.

Looking very cool...

Oh man, that would look so good next to my Eisenkern!

Oh mate ! Outstanding !
You'll be making a whole series of APCs , artillery etc to go with it ?

Anything is possible

So many details... loving it!!!

Solid looking model! :-)

Total sploosh, definitely buying one when they release

First shipment of tank prints have arrived, here is a little sneak peek...

Oh mate ! That bad boy looks good !

Lovely, absolutely marvelous, that's what that tank is!
So, I was curious to know if there is any plans to do a kilted leg set? Maybe take the tribal legs and modify them with a little Scottish love?

Perhaps, I've seen some interesting ideas for a kind of armored kilt. You never know, anything's possible. It's more a matter of finding enough time to do them.

This design wasn't mine originally but I was such a fan of it, I haven't done a lot to alter it. An ambitious hobbyist could definitely fashion something that might work there but there is nothing being done as part of the kit. At least not right away.

Looks good. If I asked for a say, a shoulder pad with specific iconography, how much would you charge?

Say asking for a raised crown on a shoulderpad, kind of like you did the dragons.

Now that the tank is in its final stages, I can share something that's coming soon after. It's a nice expansion to our CDF line and will include new heads, both male and female. It will also include new parts for CDF Heavy Infantry, here's a pic:



Look for these sometime in early summer.

Will there be goggle helmets minus gas masks? CDF is awesome so this is anticipated either way.

Woohoo!

That heavy trooper looks awesome!
Always liked the CDF legs, but the rest of the line didn't match my general army theme. This changes everything After all, my Inquisitor needs more henchmen!

Thanks guys!

I do believe there will be a set of the new heads without the gasmask.

Have you alread thought of a price for the Gideon MBT? Also, will the new arms have different styles? Like fatigue and imperial arms, for example

 GloomyFenix wrote:

The Gideon Tank will be priced at around $70. There will be a price reduction on three or more. The new arms are just the one style, shown in the picture I posted a few days ago.

$70 seems great on the Gideon, it's a pretty thing so far
Those CDF storm troopers look the business

Well, read the entirety of this thread (yay boring job) and I have to say, I've really enjoyed ordering from MRM. Having an excess of Wargames Factory Great-cloak guys and wanting something else to do with them, I picked up some Ushanka and Kurgan helmet heads to make them cheaper not-Valhallans and using Cadian arms on them.

Aside from the collar sticking up into the Ushanka, they look pretty good!

Nice work

Hey folks, the Gideon MBT launches Friday! I thought I would share a quick pick of how a cast part matched up with the 3D print.

Print is on the top, cast is on the bottom...


For more info, check out our Facebook Page

Wow, perspective messes you up, man. Those two parts look very different in size, but if you compare the separations from the parallel lines that encompass them, they can't be more than a few mil different…

Yeah, this was a quick pic taken with my Ipad. Believe me, they are the same size.

But good catch, I hadn't even noticed it

The tank looks fantastic.

love it

Well I know what I am asking for on my Birthday.

Looking great!

That's a clean beautiful cast. That MSRP is outta my range though. Eek..

Any news on the CDF reinforcements?

I thought that too. There are some mold materials that change size after being cast (I think just reduce in size but might be wrong) and I thought maybe that's what we were seeing until I read MR's reply.

Nothing to report on new CDF releases yet. They won't be out for a few months.

Dayum! Looks like I may have to order a co-ed squad and a heavy squad for my Weytani Republic troopers!

Hmm, Gideon looks tasty! very nice chunky battle tank!

That Gideon tank looks awesome when will be available?

 Scorpionov wrote:

Should be this weekend, either Friday or Saturday. I'll post an announcement here.

ah ok good will think of using one for a skull cannon conversion

Happy to announce the release of our grandest kit yet...the Gideon Main Battle Tank.











Lot's more info and LOTS more to look at over at our WEBSTORE

That is an excellent looking vehicle. I'm assuming its roughly the same footprint of a GW Leman Russ?

The only complaint I'd have is a lack of not-Plasma gun option, but I'm sure I could jury rig something up.

Definitely on my radar, especially if there's more in a similar vein to come, say for not-chimeras and not-basilisks or not-manticores.

Very cool though, resin looks super crisp.

Omg Mad, confirming plans to produce a line of tanks that follow this theme and are great stands in has made my day! The Gideon looks magnificent so I can only excitedly wait for the others! Awesome job

If you will be making not-chimeras, will there be any chance of wheeled not-chimeras? Especially ones that can be converted to make wheeled not-hellhounds?

THIS

We'll see what happens with the next designs. I invested a pant-load into the side pieces of the tank so I was hoping to use those as the base for building new/variant hulls.

Still a ways off, but if someone wants to get creative with a pencil, let's see some design ideas

You mean other vehicles, re-using the side bits from the Gideon (track and wheels and mudguards and hull sides)? An APC not-Chimera version would seem very doable, for starters. Could also be good for counts-as marine vehicles, e.g. a not-Vindicator.

@Clang: Correct, the middle hull is built like a shell that fits between the 2 sides. I can easily make changes to that, widen it or lengthen it, to make it into an APC or mobile artillery platform. As far as other uses...that is up to the end user

Tank looks ace, but $85 is just way too rich for my blood.

Don't get me wrong, I want 20 of them, just maybe for a bit less. I'd even be willing to pay a premium to a certain megacorporate competitor.

@Chef: If you want 20, send me a pm and we'll discuss it.

@MacMuckles: Yes, in another week or so.

that looks great with all the variant weaponry and the hints at more vehicles to come made my day

Friday thru Sunday night...

I've already spent my monthly hobby allocation :(

Got x3 5 man squads of the excellent apocalypse raiders for this is not a test, very nice

Today we announce the release of a second wave of parts for our popular CDF line.

Heavy armored troops is the main focus of this release, along with some officer arms, female heads,and a few other choice bits











Lots more is available now over at our WEBSTORE All of these new parts are available as options in our CDF squad builder, as well as available individually.

That two-handed side arm is awesome!

Is it safe to assume it is comprised of two arm bits and a separate pistol?

@darktraveller: afraid not, it's all one piece. But the gun is trimable to replace if you like.

I'd be interested to see how one of the many cinematic ballistic kits for a launching missile would look on that quad launcher.. I like that a lot. My guys mostly have rather generic single tube launchers but my son is building some human infantry and I don't think he has anything for missiles yet. I'll have to sneak a peak and possibly order him some

oh thank god! birthday is coming up soon

Are you planning on selling Gideon MBT's turret separately from the hull? The whole tank is a bit pricey for my wallet (even though I'm planning to but one eventually) but having those turrets for my tanks for the time being would be great!

I bought one of these and I'm a bit disappointed. It's too big to be a Leman Russ counts as, well too big for my taste. I really wanted a Tiger 1 to replace the Leman but haven't been able to find one that's the right size.

This tank is just a bit too big, not by much but too much for my taste so if anyone wants to buy mine it's for sale, I live in Finland.

This is a bit off mate, ok you have issues with the size fair enough but then to try and sell it on the guys thread is just dick like.

Agreed. Not to mention there is a whole forum dedicated to sales and trades, so why not go there MCC?

Also, phrasing.

My experience is that most people think the Russ seems like it's far too small and the most common complaint is that the Russ is built like a wind up toy tank. Almost every guard player I know wants a larger, beefier tank which is why I'd assume that the Gideon is scaled a bit larger.

Did you not see the pictures of it showing the scale vs the crew when you bought it?

@Gloomy: I think that can be done. Probably in November sometime.

@MadCow: I beleive the width is the same and it is about 10mm longer than an LR. Sorry it's too big for you...

Finally...

Sweet!

We are finally back to making stuff...






These are two previews from our upcoming desert themed parts. I'll be posting many more previews in the coming weeks. I hope to have all of these up for sale before December 1st.

Oooooooo...

I don't need more to assemble.

Nor more to paint.

Nor do I need more Tallarn.

But...

Ooooooooooo...

i want.

Another preview from the upcoming desert themed release...

Nice, do you sell vanderblit arms? I can only find bodies not arms, cheers.

If any of those guys could also be in an explicitly sci-fied version -- a cyber eye or half of face or what not -- that'd be pretty awesome.

Definitely not taking him to the petting zoo . I think the myth started because in the olden days if you were caught stealing a sheep it was a death sentence, but if you were caught having relations with a sheep it was a roll of the eyes and a stern warning. So if the authorities caught you most men just dropped their pants and say they were caught before anything could happen.

Not even robot bomb sheep to replace the cyclops demolition vehicle?

Wrapping up the previews for the 1st wave of our desert themed release. Wave 2 happens a few weeks after wave 1.

Just received my re-opening sale order.

Every single piece crisp as can be; as always.
Mad Robot's casting really is second to none!

Love all the French/WWI inspired stuff.
I know they're only previews, but imo the puttee legs need some work.
Although I have seen some instances where they overlap the way they do in your preview, this is generally not the case.

Try Copper Mine Miniatures who have a range of steampunk style horses.

Cyber camels though?

Now I want to throw together some counts as Rough Riders modelled as Kitchener's Camel Corps to go with my Praetorians.

Mad Robot, you know what to do!

Even if it is just a joke response to a light-hearted request in the thread, I love the "Coming Soon?".

reminds me of my stuffed toy camel from childhood! All my yes!

Will it be a Dromedary camel (1 hump, remember D for 1 hump) or a Bactrian camel (2 humps, B has 2 humps) ?

How about a Bacta camel, ready to dispense gooey health juice from its single large tank?

back on topic:
are these camels def happening then? or are you just messing with us?

Given the response, they will happen; just a matter of when. I might be able to start them before the end of the year, perhaps look for them early Q1 of 2017.

Sweet. Will you have cyber and non-cyber versions? How about riding saddles and pack saddles?

Will you guys be doing a black Friday sale by any chance?

From Facebook


I just hope it's actually a motorcycle and not a cyber camel or something weird

@MLaw: That's a preview of our first motorcycle, the first of many. No firm release date but it will be the first release of 2017.


...the cyber war-camels come after

lol, ok.. after those other pictures I was starting to worry!

Will the bikes also be available separately? I want some for riders but some for terrain and mounting on vehicles as well.
Between some of your heads and a few from other places I have an Expendables thing going and this is something I've been waiting for a bike for

Motorcycles would be nice. Nobody out there really makes IG scale motorcycles that are nice, simple, and utilitarian. While for IG specifically they're of limited use (basically just rough riders) a lot of games use bikes for human troopers. A kind of sci fi ish and rugged looking simple bike would be a cool option to see.

No idea how well it would sell, but it'd look cool.

A number of different styles of bikes are planned at this point. Can't say when they will come out. The second bike will be a chopper but I have plans for a trike, dirt bike, sidecars, etc.



Today is New Release Friday!















It's all available now in our webstore

Even a post apoc spin with a simple head swap...

I'm digging that first one. Nice and clean.

Plus I always fall for FAL's. Such a sharp rifle.

Would the Desert Torsos and Legionnaires heads work with the Great coat arms and legs ?

Do you still make your 15mm Jump Troopers and Harook?

@MrM: It really is a classic battle rifle.

@Big H: Not sure, they will fit but whether they look good might be a bit subjective

@Maniac: No, I got out of the 15mm biz a while ago. The Harook were sold to Skullduggery Press last year.

MR- On Facebook you asked about Mordheim so I thougght I would reply here (posting is bugged for me on FB).

Females.. Hammers, Whips, Flails.. basically anything from Sisters of Sigmar.. they just don't really make that stuff in most places. Let alone modular form.

Males.. Arms holding grappling hooks is the first thing that comes to mind. I'll have to break out the book and see what else was a PITA. I have most of the books if you have any questions.. though I know there are places hosting PDFs too.

Second part of our desert themed releases...









Available now in the WEBSTORE

Oh yes
Now all those heads need is some options like goggles and maybe re-breathers?

*twitches*

This was exactly what I was desperately looking for 2 weeks ago. Both the field caps and the gun platforms.

Oh well, guess I'll start saving up for another order

Will the Feb release be limited run or will these be a regular item? Christmas has me tapped out but I want to get in on this..

Holy crap someone is finally making IG scaled bikes.

Dammit I didn't need rough riders Mad Robot.

Time to start saving again *sigh*

@MLaw: These will all be regular items

@MrMous: More styles to come as well

Brilliant, more styles you say? Interest intensifies
