Hey, big news; Vic Minis now has a shiny, proper new shop front interface.
http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/ I would appreciate anyone who has a moment, to take a look around and let me know if there are any issues, or what I could do to make it better. I'm no web expert ,so setting this up has been quite a learning curve.
In the long run though, the Highwire interface will be much more user friendly for me and my customers, especially as the range expands.
One cool feature is the ability to leave product reviews, so I invite existing Vic Mini's customers to sign up and tell others what you think
Also, there is currently a short term impromptu deal going; the next 3 customers will receive some free cool stuff from the next upcoming wave of releases. I have a limited number of master casting in hand and will include them, each one will include the 10 man militia head sprue absolutely free, plus a few more cool new bits.
Cheers,, V
Likewise, didn't spot anything off-kilter from my brief nose around.
Was I just suffering from late-night stupidity, or is there no complete guardsman pack that includes the torsos and rifle arms? I could only find the conversion packs, with the torsos and rifle arms sold separately... which at 11 o'clock last night was just too hard.
I think I just placed an order but it seems like the payment was processed before the shipping cost was added?
When trying to complete the transaction after the shopping cart adds the $10 shipping I get this error: Unable to process your order: Payment has already been made for this InvoiceID.
Vic please let me know if my order didn't register.
Hi, Very happy to announce that the next wavy of bits is now in the store, there are the Militia Heads, dress torsos, sword and pistol arms plus a heap of handy little bits; bayonets, holsters, shoulder boards and goggles.
Check the out here: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/ Here's some examples of just some of the possibilities you can create.
Cheers,
V
I already placed and received a small order about a week ago, but I'm definitively going to need to make a larger order very soon.
I was also one of the 3 lucky people to get some bonus stuff in my order, the heads were simply fantastic casts and they have some truly great expressions on their faces. The holsters will come in very handy as well.
Any idea when those shotguns you were showing off will be available from your store?
Amazing just Amazing, I have just received my scenery props for my steam punk theme and now I need to order more stuff from you
Ok just checked out the site great stuff, goggles and masks separate Thank you so much for listening to your customers Epaulettes separate great idea multi uses The holsters and arms with swords and pistols great for command groups and the rough riders
Torsos look great nice design and nice alternative but where are the batten arm for the custodians ? the one in the picture you posted
The new store looks great, as do all the extra little bits and pieces you've added recently.
Is there any chance of having sprues of just gas masks though please? I could do with 30+ of those and the packs for my whiteshields, but don't really need 90 sets of goggles
Great work vic, I would like to point out that the laser pistol arms are not in the weapons and gear section which is a bit odd since the rifle arms are, not sure if that was done on purpose but I personally think they should be listed there.

I would also like to see a gas mask sprue for sale.
cool thanks, I have just made up a heap of new sprues to make all those bits available in sets of five of the same part. Should in the shop in about 2 weeks.
Hi, got a surprise little 2nd release for July.
The Conscript Legs are now available in the online store. There are 7 different poses and they come in two sets: 5x Standing Conscript Legs and 6x Kneeling Conscript Legs. As always, fully compatible with Vic Minis Guard range and popular plastic troops.
These are beautifully sculpted by the amazing Gregor Adrian.
Thanks for looking, V
Vic, have you seen the pics Andy Hoare's been putting up on facebook? He's using various parts from your minis to convert other things. He's even mixed them with Reaper minis (and not just "popular plastic kits" ).
August New Releases! Heavy Weapon Crew Arms and The Gas Mask and Goggles sprues are now available. I am very thrilled to present this super useful arms set sculpted mostly by the awesome Paul Hicks and a little bit by me. Great for heavy weapon crews, these pieces also open up some characterful new options for adding variety to commanders and squads. This set contains 14 different arms plus the bonus head shown.
Also, due to popular demand, the Gas mask and Goggles sprue is back and all the parts are now available separately. That makes five different sprues to choose from. All now in the online store. www.victoriaminiatures.com Thanks for looking,
Vic.
Hi all, Thanks for all the great comments and support from the Dakka community.
I've just released some new Camo Cloaks. They are now in the online store. There are two sets. One with 5x Cloaks and one with 10x cloaks and 10x Militia Heads.
Cheers, Check them out at www.victoriaminiatures.com
Are the cloaks above smooth, or is the camo pattern textured/sculpted onto it? Wondering about whether it could be used to make cloaked guardsmen, of a non-camo variety.
brettz123 wrote: You can see in the second picture that they are smooth. The camo is painted on.
Awesome job on the cloaks by the way.
Crap, thanks, for some reason my eyes passed over that one thinking it was just a whole different model, forgetting that Vic does the cool "new model by using different pieces" approach
Mmmm Camo cloaks. Now i only need to find an excuse to use them. Eh might just pick some up for the hell of it. Never know when you might need a cloak.
Those cloaks are absolutely awesome! I made a full army of the GW tanith back when they first released and these blow the offical models clear out of the water! If I ever redo guard, these will be what I use for em.
Medium of Death wrote: Any chance that Tannenburg Palace Guard rifle arms are on the way?
Perhaps even 'Dress Coat' legs?
Does that mean arms with the shoulder boards attached? possibly.
Great coat legs are on the way
Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions. Some beastman preview pics and discussion over at the the vic minis FB page.
http://www.facebook.com/VictoriaMiniatures
Now that i look at it, theres a pretty big WW1/2 theme going with those heads. I also agree about the horses. Would love to get some 4th Australian Light Horse going.
The Beastmen Guard are amazing! I'm a huge fan of the concept, and will definitely be ordering some of those! I hardly ever comment on the forums, but seeing that work has spurred me into action ... Really great work
Does that mean arms with the shoulder boards attached? possibly.
I was more meaning with the Cuff at the end of the sleeve, then again that could be easily molded on by myself... alas i'm all thumbs when it comes to sculpting, well more just like two closed fists. But if the shoulder boards were to come attached that would be all kinds of awesome.
I noticed that the slouch hats and pickelhaube helms on your greens are pewter - any chance sprues of empty hats / empty helmets will become available... maybe even sprues of Cpt. Caine's helmet?
Just put in a fairly sizeable order that I've been trying to resist for a while, but all the 'example' minis you're putting up show off your stuff too well!
Can't wait to see the female additions when you finish tooling them - if they're anything up to line with your current work, it'll be another box from Australia in the post in no time for me Would be nice to see some female minis on the market that aren't completely over-sexualised...
Vic gets you with the freebies. My last order had gratis cloaks. Now looking at buying militia heads, conscript legs and upcoming bare rifle arms for some not-Tanith scouts.

I would have liked some spare cloaks but hey ho, I was very happy with the extras, bare arms where were they then

Victoria regularly posts updates on her Facebook page. One photo has bare rifle arms, what appears to be a carapace armour torso and shotgun arms to match the torso.
For the guys who have used 100% Vic parts to make full minis, do they usually require pinning? Reason I ask is I'm planning on making an army that looks like the old cadians, and many of vic's parts look like they would be perfect.
I don't have a problem with pinning, I've just never done it before and would like to know if I need to start learning. Only thing killing me now is figuring out when, and what, to order. I swear, everytime I order something awesome comes out the next week and I want that too
EDIT: Just checked out the facebook page, wow those new torsos in the works would be perfect for what I need, as would those "veteran" arms. When are they due to be released roughly? I need to know how much I need to save up
Thanks Vic i recieved my order, your products are perfect..thanks for bringing the good stuff to market, i will for sure be ordering more, the WIP pics have me waiting in anticipation.
Very cool Vic, i placed an order this afternoon for some gas masks/goggles (And a few other items.) that i've been frothing over for awhile but could never justify the $10 postage for such a small order.
Concerning the gas masks are there grooves on the back that allows them to fit over the lower facial region, or are they completely flat? just wondering so i know how much conversion work will be needed for a few Post-apoc models i've been planning.
Why would you do this when I placed an order last week!?
Not complaining though - I still can't believe how quickly you got a parcel here from the other side of the world. Quicker than most of the intra-UK mail!
Dangit I just lost my debit card! whywhywhywhywhy?
Oh well, still awesome of you to do this. Your stuff is always top notch and I'm still saving up for when some of that veteran and combat armor stuff is released.
Hi, Here are some new arms and gear for the Guard range.
Shotgun arms are by Paul Hicks, bare arms are by Aaron Brown. The rest by me.
All now in the storehttp://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com Thanks for looking,
Vic.
I love the grenade launcher! The shotguns are also excellent.
There were preview greens a while ago including a Russian ushanka head. Are there plans for something like Valhallans, or at least heads for them? I'd be interested in picking up some Valhallan-style troops that were sculpted this century
I agree with Brother SRM. Not that it's about to stop me from buying a whole host of shotguns and extras now though.
Just put my order in for the shotguns and heavy weapons, now what to do while I wait... Bah, come here current models I suppose I'll add some paint to you.
Oh man this is driving me crazy. I really wish there was some sort of squad bundle option or something. I'm trying to make some vets and everytime I add up the bitz I've always got like 1 torso too many or I'm short 1 head or something to make all the guys for the squad I need. Oh well, I'll end up getting extras of something, just need to decide where that will be...
Also, for you guys that have gotten the conscript legs, how do they match up with the victorian torsos? I can't make up my mind on whether I want those or the victorian legs more. Trying to make some shotgun vets inspired by the old starship trooper esque metal Cadians and I just can't make up my mind on which ones would look better for them.
Hi, from today Victoria Miniatures Online Store will be changing from Australian Dollars to US Dollars. That means, no more high Aussie Dollar worries, and a better deal for everyone.
Cheers,
V
Those are AMAZING. I'm not at all a fan of metal, but I'm seriously considering getting a squad to paint. Have you thought about partnering with a plastics company? Or even doing a Kickstarter of your own?

I think Vic mentioned going into resin soon
What! really? that would be the most beautiful news for every hobbyist and also for Vic's bank account i'm guessing

Yes, but doing a Kickstarter is very difficult for Australians (I'm working on it)
And yes, working on resin production too, its a very slow process, but it is on the way.
In the meantime......

Hi, I'm working on some new Highland legs. Let me know what you think of these sculpts and how you like your kilts? Soft pleats? (grey) or Hard pleats? (green).
Thanks, all feedback appreciated. V
Both look good to me. In real combat conditions (not that I've ever fought in a kilt), I'm guessing a new kilt would start off well-pressed and hard-pleated, then slowly become rumpled and soft-pleated due to the lack of laundry and ironing facilities?
I've seen some dreadful attempts at painting tartan, and suspect the soft pleats might be slightly more forgiving of painting mistakes.
Really, I think a combination of both would be fine.
Echoing what has already been said. Good work on both. I prefer the softer pleats. In any case, more variety in kilts will keep me coming back. Did you ever make a decision on casting one-piece scfi-fi troopers for ease of army building?
Thanks for the kilt feedback. Here's an early Christmas present:
Its on again! To celebrate launching the new look online store, all Victoria Miniatures orders will be shipped absolutely free until January 1st 2013. Thats any order, any destination, worldwide.
^^ Dammit, I guess I'll have to just find something to buy from the shop then. ...Goggles; there can never be enough goggles.
An item that I haven't seen on the site is pouches. Sure there's other kit items like ammo belts, scabbards, holsters and canteens, but there's a lack of bits to fill in the spaces between. Pouches are simple to make, but so's all the other bits of gear, its the time required to make them enmasse tends to be a bore. (I mean outside of the dress uniform kits that is)

And they fit great with the torsos. But, can you ever really get too many pouches?! I'm using FW backpacks with my torsos. I'd suggest a backpack of some sort.
=P The last part of my comment mentioned that I'd like to see them as a seperate product, not alongside the torsos.
Heh, I think I'm using about a half dozen company's backpacks on my models. Those along with the respirator air tanks for the same number again too (which reminds me I'm running short). I know a few companies make webbing items, but I appreciate Victoria Miniature's products just for the ease that they slip in with the other lines. I don't use their bits as for the primary elements of a model typically, but they're great for the little accessories that go along with them (and like I mentioned, sculpting details is all well and good, but once you've done that its nice to just pick up a little extra canteen or something to just fill in a few gaps). =)

You must be psychic There is an ammo pouch sprue coming in the next release. Plus new heads, new torsos and new arms.
Here is the latest kilt. The notes about the soft pleats have been taken on board to give it a more worn look. Also added a crossed swords kilt pin. Thanks for all the great feedback.

Any idea when the next release will be hitting your store?
Any clues or hints as to what the new heads/arms/torsos will be?
Really like the new kilts. How many different poses of the new kilts are you planning?

Traditionaly Diggers was slang for the ANZAC soldiers during World War 1. Now it just come to mean any Australian Soldier. The Kiwis may have also adopted the word for their troops as well but im not sure. But yes essentialy, guys with shovels digging trenches.
What do the Diggers consist of Vic? Slouch hats and WW1 uniforms style uniforms? Maybe backpacks with shovels and boadie helmets hanging off. That would be cool.

I'll look forward to seeing Vic's arms and torsos to go with them, though.
Don't feel alone, sort of. I finally broke down and bought 24 legs with kilts from vic, and now new ones are around the corner!
Just means I'll have to do 4 vet squads in kilts instead of 2!

Oh, Ye of little faith.
Those better come out soon or else I will be a very very sad Guardsman
I look forward to seeing how well yours can integrate with the ones I already ordered. The arms are fantastic - I've been waiting for arms like that for years.
Any thoughts on doing some special weapon arms? I've been trying to think of how I can make up a bunch of these guys with plasma guns and make it not look completely funky.
Victoria Miniatures December releases now available.
Hi, lots of new stuff for December: Flak Armour Torsos, Flak Armour groin guards, Victorian Ammo Pouches, Slouch Hat heads, New Bald Heads, New Victorian Torsos, Rolled Sleeve Rifle Arms and Vic Mini's first ever complete 10 man kit "Van Diemen's World Devils".
Check them out at http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/ Cheers, V
Vic, you just made my old style Cadians conversion idea a reality *manly tears*
Rolled sleeves? Check
Awesome combat armor? Check
Old styled Lasguns? Check
Metal? Check
Tons of character? Check
As soon as I can get my student loans figured out, I'll be making a large order soon with flak armor torsos, rolled sleeves, victorian legs, and all sorts of other goodies. If I can just find some helmet heads, my work is pretty much done. The only scratch work I'll have to do is making the shoulder armor parts.
Also, any thoughts on some helmet heads to go in line with those combat armor torsos?
As always, magic from Downunder!
I've got to finish my Pith troopers before I start something new.
Or not.... Really like the Slouch heads, ammo pouches and armoured torsos!
At least you made it easy to make my list for Santa.
No, see the problem I have (as I described a page or so ago) is that I had waited and waited for Vic to release her ANZAC heads. She had originally teased them over a year ago - I tried to be patient - I did. But then, the day before she released pics of her Slouch Hat heads, I went and ordered 40 of MaxMini's from the WarStore (I already had 10 from a previous order). I was a very sad monkey when I saw that she had released hers. But I've been waiting for someone to produce Rolled Sleeve arms since Vic originally sculpted some for her original Golden Daemon ANZAC guardsman entry years ago. So, I ordered up a bunch of them to go with all the MaxMini heads I'd already ordered.
But, I'd be a fool to not at least try her Slouch Hat heads for comparison.
And it's an IG army. While I may have enough heads and arms for my troops now, there's certainly room to expand for more troops needing Vic's Slouch Hat heads.
Sorry if i sounded like i was questioning your order. It was meant as more of a joke about the oddness of the order. Like who orders 70 arms and ONE set of heads. Kinda hard to convey humour over text.... Even crappy humour such as mine.
I've been wanting to start a Australian themed force ever since i saw this army. The only thing that put me off buying the maxmini ones was the faces. That and the fact that i couldn't find torsos that i liked. Now however that Vic has solved both those problems my chances of running an Aussie Guard army is looking good.
No worries - I wasn't offended at all. I appreciated the joke, but I figured it was worth a better explanation.
Victoria completed this Rough Rider over a decade ago - and ever since then, I wanted an Aussie-style IG army.
I've seen a few such armies - some better, some worse - but the amount of conversion and green stuff on such a large scale had been prohibitive to building the army. With folks like Vic, MaxMini, and Puppet's War coming out with some good slouch hat heads, it has become substantially easier. Santobell's is the first I've seen to use Slouch Hat heads in a large capacity (I particularly like his Chimera Ute, too). I don't mind the look of the MaxMini heads. I think the Puppet's War ones look way too cartoony, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how Vic's look in person. I'm already working out a list that'll let me have an excuse to make some Light Horse Rough Riders.
@Void_walker - I think it'll actually be pretty easy to do Light Horse with the bits Vic's already got up there, although some Rolled Sleeve arms with lances seem like they'd be a pretty easy addition.
I love these guys! Great models as always, and an archetype I don't see very often. Even in WW2 minis, I don't see many Aussies. Also, those flak armor and groin plate bits are aces as well.
Hi, thanks for all the great feedback and comments. (yes that was a lot of rolled sleeved arms I packed this morning.
Here is a pic of the squad set I currently have on offer (hopefully the first of many).
You get all there bits plus 10 slotta bases for $45 US.
Let me know what you would like to see in future sets.
Thanks,
V
You floated the idea sometime back of one piece Troopers for quick squad building. Was that viable or was there a lack of positive response? I'd be interested but only to mix amongst modular troops thereby retaining some individuality in squads.
Great looking squad deal! A bit cheaper than the GW metal guardsmen and these look much better as well as being multi-part. I hope we can see more bundles like this in the future!

Ding!
Though would it sound crazy if I said I was just looking at the groin plates, tossed in the flak torsos and it, ahem, escalated from there?
Well, sometimes it just takes a bit for me to get hooked and for some reason, them groin plates did it for me. Certainly made me look at my Krieg engineers for a moment, who also wear sensible carapace with family jewel protection.

But yeah, can't wait to go mad with the order!
I'd be super surprised if you aren't happy! vic's stuff is great.
I'm going to echo the female bit of that request, though without the torsos remark, manly chests don't work for girls, though if this were to happen, it would be grand: Female troops using the style of torsos, arms, legs and whatnots as the other ranges you have up for sale.

I third a request for a females kit. Some armoured torsos and maybe an officer torso or just plain non armoured torsos would bloody beaut.

There are already Rough Rider parts. Its not a full kit per se but you can easily make up a squad with the parts available. Infact the only componant of Rough Riders Vic doesnt do are the Horses themselves.

Yes, but the legs are different to the ones used in this set, I would like to see matching styles in the rough riders, also rolled sleeved arms for the horse riding pose.
Arms with one handed weapons and some packs to add to mounts, however if you want to go the full hog or should I say horse and produce the mount that would be amazing.
Thanks for the comments, There are now two more squad deals available;
The Highland Moss Guard and the Border Worlds Rangers.
Each kit has all the bits you need to add a characterful new unit to your force. Thats over $55.00 worth of bits for only $45.00.
Check them out here.

Which is something that would be useful! Having to pay $30+ for a load of empire stuff only to not use most of that that is annoying - I have enough riders for the Apoc formation, but too few horses.
ouch.... now i really have to get my wife to allow me to get me one of these kits....probably it will be the border world rangers... the capes and the torsos are just to good to refuse...

I would imagine that solid metal horses could be quite a hassle to put together and keep that way! It may be an idea to scour bitz websites for some. The warstore has several types for a few bucks each (though they are all very ornate).
Hey vic, when it reaches Jan 2 onwards, are you still doing it where orders over 100$ or so got free shipping?
Depending on how you answer will mean the difference between me making a stupid big order now, or a smaller one now and another one a few weeks from now.
Last I checked, my cart is at 109 bucks, and it's growing every day...
I agree. Offering full sets for 10 Victorian Guard, Highlanders, Penal Legion etc is more convenient than having to search each canteen, head, HQ and arm option by yourself. People are lazy you know.

Doing some new parts for them. The next squad deals will be Tannenbutg Fusiliers, Palace Guard and Victorians.
I am pleased to announce the launch of a very special project; 'The Galaxy's Finest'. This is an inspiring collection of background histories, famous battles and regimental origins written by Andy Hoare.
First in the series is the Tannenburg Fusiliers, Victorian Guard, Highlanders and the mysterious Cthood.
It has been a real thrill to see this come together, the combination of text, illustrations and painted miniatures really brings the regiments to life and creates the beginning of an ever expanding and evolving world. http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/pages/tannenberg
Wow, nice! I love me some good background and Andy is definitely a great choice, his Imperial Guard article regarding the Mortant, the Necromundan Spyders and the Fen Guard is one of my favourite White Dwarf articles of all time!
This sounds awesome. Are you planning on making your own gaming system Vic? It could be pretty popular if all you need are guardsmen to play it. Most IG players have enough models for 2 or 3 armies in smaller games, so it would be easy for us to demo it to people who were wanting to try it out.
Either way, anything even remotely imperial guard related fluffwise always piques my interest, can't wait to check this out!
Also, that meltagun concept is insane. If the finished product looks even remotely like that those things will be a liscense to print money

And, I believe, Victoria's first full IG conversions were the kilted Drookian Fen Guard inspired by the illustrations that went with the article.
Victoria miniatures are basically the only thing on my Christmas list this year. Hoping to pick up a big mix for my conscripted troops in my tyrant's legion list.
Order came in earlier today, aside from the ammo belts missing it all checked out.
That said, awesome stuff! Absolutely smitten by the flak armoured torsos, such a great and bulky design, really marvellous! Here's the first guy I cranked out:
Any chance of IG arms? No weapons, just arms so we could put our weapons of choice? Maybe a set of rifle arms and a set of hand to hand arms. With a couple of at ease, smoking, drinking carrying arms? Or even IG shoulder pads?
All metal heads are from the militia sprue, the two heads with caps are from different places, one from Warlord's Bolt Action and the other I had left over from a resin Dust mini.

Vic got my latest order BIG THANKS ! with my prize money ( coupon ) now spent Great models love these Van Diemens World Devils they are Friggin Awesome
Now some rough riders to go with them and I will be well and truly chuffed
P.S. Customs hit me with £16:95 charge mind for looking at my toys

I've made four orders and the only one that incurred a charge (£11 HMRC, £8 Post Office Fee???) was for one that topped £100.00. I now have to decide on future orders if its better to order less and pay Vic's postage charge than pay Customs their fee.

I thought that as well but if it is over £16 -18 pounds and customs check it then you get charged £8 for the pleasure of the Royal Mail picking it up, plus around £3 odd for the Tax of an item I cant even buy in this country O well the joy of having a hobby I guess
Just put in a pretty big order and needless to say I'm very excited. Ordered something like 40 of the new flak armor torsos, officer arms, sleeveless rifle arms, rolled sleeve rifle arms, shotgun arms, kilt legs, rifle straps, militia heads, and even a bagpiper (because really, what else am I gonna use for a regimental standard?)
There will be much rejoicing when that package shows up
Just got my package of a ton of rolled sleeve arms and slouch hat heads! Your timing is impeccable, Victoria! I'm packing up house to move out on Friday and I was a little worried that the shipment wouldn't arrive before I left and the package would have to get forwarded to my new temporary address. Thanks also for the extra rifles and rifle straps - they'll definitely come to good use! Oh, and the winged-skull hatpin detail did not go unnoticed - that pretty well rocks.
I'm very excited about the Van Diemen's World heads. Their proportions are perfect!
Compare this to the same model with MaxMini's ANZAC head:
It's funny, because on the sprue, the Van Diemen's World heads look kind of baby-faced and puffy, but once you put them on the model, you find the proportions are exactly what are needed to match GW's. MaxMini's head looks pretty emaciated by comparison. I'll be using the MaxMini heads that I've already bought, but when it comes time for more, I'm definitely going with the Van Diemen's World heads from here on out.
Also, just as an FYI to US Dakkaites interested in Vic's models, but are concerned about how long it takes for it to ship from Australia: I made my order on Dec. 5 and it arrived today, Dec. 17 - so, 12 days for shipping. Not bad at all.
Sorry man, but the face of the Maxmini head looks like he crapped his pants! And I've had my orders from vic usually take 7-10 days. Never takes too long! I'm glad you posted some pics of the new arms w/ Cadian torsos! They, and the head look fantastic!
Do you mean re sculpted based on the original design
Yes, they are redone using the conscript legs as a base. They won't look out of place next to the old ones, they are just better sculpts with more detail.

So, have you thought about doing a command squad upgrade kit, kind of like the heavy weapons set? Things like a regimental standard, bugles, officer heads, binoculars, swagger sticks, and the like? That's pretty much all you need now to make a well rounded army at this point.
I would love to see a standard in particular, they always add so much character to an army.
I'd love to see rifle arms and pistol using the same armoured panels as found on the shotgun arms, tie the whole force together.
Also, those ammo belts? Amazing stuff. The soft metal used is amazing and works like a charm an all torsos I've got lying about (Flak, dress coat and Victorian).

While we're throwing out requests, do you plan on any Rough Rider arms with rolded up sleeves? They would fit with the Slouch hats like a glove!
And I second all of MM's above mentioned ideas as well. All but the standard. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if the set didn't have one.
Another request - a while ago you posted a picture with some greens of heads in progress. One was wearing a Ushanka. Am I connecting the dots right that you'll have some Valhallans in the future?

Oh god yes. For the love awesome things please yes.
Brought some of the tartan ones a while back, loving the new version of those, so will be looking for more at some point.
Still hoping for female anything from Vic at the mo, the amount of money waiting for this is a lot. As in whole new regiment, plus extras to seed girls in every squad through out the other two regiments I have as well.
I have mentioned this before, but I figure If I bring it up every three or four months it'll keep the idea ticking over.
Coming up in 2013
Hi, Thank you for making 2012 such a big year for Vic Minis, The amazing level of support and encouragement I have received over the last 6 months has paved the way for 2013 to be huge.
There will be new minis, new regiments, new illustrations, fingers crossed, a Kickstarter and of course more great fiction from Andy Hoare. And I am really looking forward to branching into some non-metal miniatures in the not too distant future.
Please keep your suggestions and feedback coming, the community really is what keeps Vic Minis moving forward, I am very excited about the possibilities for the new year.
Here's a little teaser, V
Victorian Legs Mark 2
The Victorian Legs have been re-done. This is an improvement on an old favorite, they now have more detail and more poses. These will still mix with your existing legs.
Last Days for free Shipping.
New Years Day is the last day for the free shipping offer. The last month has been mad, so much so that my holiday stock is running very low. I will work through the holidays but I won't receive a re-stock until my caster is back on the 7th of January.
All items may be ordered as usual, just please bear with me if you order is despatched a little later than expected.
Look plastic to me. But best of all, more arm variants with the armoured panels a-la the shotgun arms!
Aaargh! Those penal troops look great but I've literally just put an order in last night for enough parts to make 2 penal legion squads (along with loads of other bits for all my various regiments)
Oh well, wanted to make a huge penal legion anyway and if those figs are indeed plastic then i'll certainly be buying them when they're released!
That helmet/gasmask is bad ass, definitely looks cool with the flak armour torso, that'll be on my future shopping list too! As will the penal legion officer type with the Shock Maul, brilliant!
Come to think, those could also be resin masters, my bad. But really looking forward to these, the gasmask helmet has a nice New Vegas vibe to it by the way!
Hmm, yeah could be, well resin or plastic, either way should be good for business me thinks, but please please please Victoria get those Facebook Imperial Beastmen and Russian types released, I've been dreaming of them for many a month now!

Well in that case it is perfectly fitting for an IG unit
Good news if you've ever wanted a full converted, fully painted praetorian army with the original Captain Cain Mini. Vic's selling a roughly 110 or so strong praetorian army on her site for the low low price of $4,000
While not fond of the vox operator head (Gotta make do with what I got on hand) I am super-pleased with these overall, especially the ammo belts, while a wee bit fiddly, do add that extra bit of cool to already cool models. Shotgun trumps lasgun, I don't care about your stupid logic, my (future) army runs on the rule of cool.

I thought you were joking cant believe Vic is selling them, must have her reason's though I wonder if she will be selling any of the others The Drookian Fen Guard they were amazing
Order just came in! I have no idea who you threaten/blackmail/ convince to ship your product so quickly, but it's always amazed me. Your product gets here faster than stuff sent from a few states away sometimes.
Everything is in perfect shape and the extra goodies were not unnoticed. I look forward to getting some of these guys together and painted soon! Thanks so much!
EDIT: put up some pics of the highland guard on my new P&M blog in my sig. All of her bitz just look awesome. My only regret was that I didn't buy more kilted legs
Vic might be doing bitz in trollcast down the road.
Bear with me, as this was something I found sniffing around on the facebook page, looking to see if anything new was coming up.
In the comments, many people asked what the minis were made of, and she states they were a test run to see how trollcast works. I believe this is the same process Defiance Games used for their bugs/germans, although from what I've heard, Defiance Games is the only one to have trouble with it. Everywhere else I've seen trollcast stuff it looks really good.
It's kind of like a blend of resin/plastic from what I understand. Supposed to be more durable/cheaper/detailed. Don't quote me on that though.
However, I highly doubt any of this is set in stone. She very well could have changeg her mind between now and then and decided to stick with metal or use a regular resin.
Least now we can maybe get away with decent superglue and a bit of gs when bonding the new TrollCast plasin bits together, because drilling and pinning is not fun when every single piece of a dude has to be fixed like this.
Vic your models rock, i got a big ol box of guardsmen bits from you for xmas, thanks a bunch!
lone dirty dog wrote: Thanks for the update Mr Moustaffa missed that one here is to hoping for box sets of figures in the near future then.
Maybe Vic could go the DreamForge route and have plastics made up, although though it can be costly maybe thats what the kickstarter might be
....
Alright, how many people do I need to sleep with/brutally maim/blackmail/bribe to make this happen?
Because multipart plastic kits in this style of minis would make me weep tears of manly joy.
At the very least, trollcast will give us all the awesome of plastic AND resing from what I've heard, so long as you dont mind using superglue. Plastic glues that chemically "melt" the pieces doesn't work on it for some reason.
HA HA HA easy there it would be cool to see plastic box sets come to light indeed (I to would weep but more like a small girl)
I have to say Vic seem to be charging into her mini line (in a good way) the line has grown extensively and quickly, the quality as been of a high quality and ties up nicely with other ranges but still keeping originality.
I think in the future we could well see a plastic box set or at least resin/plastic sets, either way I am sure there will be many cool things to come.

To be honest, if your finding you need to pin infantry sized metal figures then your glue is rubbish. Theres no doubt of the value of pinning in larger heavier models, but for human sized thats crazy unless your making a habbit of throwing your models around the room!
Though thats not to say seeing Vics stuff in resin/plastic is'nt great news for the hobby!
Hey Col Gravis stop lurking and get me my bikes LOL But I do agree about the glue issue I only pin awkward posed minis (where there is an increased weakness) or as you mentioned heavy models.
However I should mention I am not a gamer just a mini collector, so maybe with the constant playing of miniatures it could be an extra assurance.
Thanks for the comments,
Yes Trollcast is a possibility that I am pursuing this year, also looking at some resin. Aiming to release complete modular kits.
Dreamforge style plastic - in my dreams, but not impossible Cheers,
v

I'd slaughter a Maiden world of Eldar babies (filthy xenos) to get my hands on somethinganything of Vics range in plastic.
I got a wad of cash for my birthday which was going to go towards a new computer. But when i heard Vic might be doing a kickstarter i put off buying it just in case.
vic wrote: Dreamforge style plastic - in my dreams, but not impossible
Well, I'm glad to see more arms done in the same style as the shotgun arms (with the armoured panels) are on the way, really love those, they go well with the bulky armoured torsos and groin guards in making carapace armoured troops.

I would so love to see a kickstarter I would even work weekends and bank holidays to fund it I think you would be quite surprised how much backing you get
I would love to see a set of plastic miniatures of your designs, however I know the difference between your range and DreamForge is his was CAD as yours are sculpted.
Now not knowing that much about the process of producing the moulds for plastics or whats involved I don't know how easy that would be to achieve.
However I would buy box sets of your all ready produced models in plastic by the bucket load, don't get me wrong I love your miniature, but in plastic they are easy for conversions
If wishlisting for regimental support is welcome, I've always wanted to see Necromundan Spiders (and I don't really want them to look like pre-2nd edition Guard).
So, what timeframe are we looking at roughly for the kickstarter? I don't have a huge budget and need to order some legs, but I want to make sure I have plenty of cash for when the kickstarter starts.
I don't need to know exact days or anything, "summer", "fall", or "late spring" would be awesome. I just want to know whether I can order the legs now or should save my cash for the kickstarter.

Excellent thank you. That gives me plenty of time to save up

Tell them you are also ruled by the Queen
On Trollcast. Check for realistic time schedules. He is busy to fulfill casting for 2 kickstarters including Reaper. He is in principle responsible to do all Defiance Games stuff (if they still are in business), and Ed still has things on his shelves for more than 3 years (to be fair from times when he did casting in an evening job, but anyway). So everyone's advice "Just ask Ed" is not the solution to all problems.

Where did you read that Ed Fortae was involved in the Reaper KS? this is the first time i've heard of it.
Concerning Defiance Ed said over on Frothers that he cut them off a few months ago, and that he was trying to help them overcome their problems but just wasn't willing to work for free. Over on the Defiance Facebook page they mention purchasing a few casting machines so im guessing at this point they're casting the Bugs and Germans themselves. (Which would explain the sub-par quality of the Germans over in the Defiance thread.)
@Vic,
I haven't seen it mentioned yet but will the Kickstarter be funding the Trollcast kits? Just wondering as I remember reading a post by you over on BGG a few months ago saying that you were planning to KS your game Labyrintus in the future.
Ed's not been involved in Reaper Bones (probably a typo from Kroothawk)
but he is doing master making and casting for Red Box Games, Impact Miniatures Chibi stuff, his own KS and Imbrian Arts,
plus he's done tests for Kingdom Death so he could end up doing part/all of that too (no contacts have been signed on this one so that could all fall through)
I wrote the other day a mail to Vic asking her if she could make some leg sets in bermudas, like the 8th Army had in WWII, to make a desert style army for 40K.
And also some rolled up sleeve arms for officers, as she has them already with lasguns.
Got her reply today, saying that she'd like to do some legs in shorts, only not sure if there is a resonable demand for them.
Heads, arms, torsos and equipment for a 8th Army style are already all in the shop, even scots heads and leg sets with kilt.
So what do you guys think, would a desert style work or it it just a stupid idea of mine?
If you do want shorts, you can probably find some plastic WWII models and harvest their legs. I'd imagine it would be somewhat cheaper than buying metal legs, though lower quality and more of a pain in the keister. The problem is that it's an extremely niche market.
I don't know I think it could work and sell, I would buy them for sure but that is just me I guess.
I think you have to get it right you don't want them to look like the pics above thats for certain, but take Vics kilt legs remove the skirt I mean kilt and alter to shorts hey presto
Thats the look I would go for myself ties it all in together, maybe cargo shorts with some pockets on the sides to give a bit more depth and detail, but no long sox
If i get the time I might convert one of the legs sets of kilts to give an idea if you think it will help
I'd buy shorts. Combine them with the ANZAC heads for my own 40k 8th Army Aussies. Hell, I'd also buy some Doughboy hats to use as Lemon-Squeezers for my Bros from ENZed (also in shorts).
Updating them a little to also include Cargo Pockets would work well, I think.

That's what i was aiming for! Thanks for putting words to it!
Thanks for the suggestions.
Here is a re-enactors pic that was very inspiring for my Van Demon's World Devils squad, Aussies in Burma WW2, as you can see half of them are wearing shorts.
Cheers,

Latecomer to this thread, but wow, that's great news about a potetial trollcast Vic miniatures.
I've only made one purchase from Victoria and it was very small, but I am extremely pleased. I ordered a batch of accessories and especially lasguns to arm up some RT plastic squats whose lasguns were missing or broken. They are perfect! They have the lasgun look, but are tru'ish in proportions and the same length (minus the shoulder stock as the RT plastic doesn't have one) from grip to muzzle.
I've heard many folks talk about wanting to convert the new crop of historical plastics into IG regiments. The downside almost always seems to be that GW weapons are too heroic. The only conversions I've seen that look halfway decent are when folks manage to hunt down the smaller original RT weapons.
I think that Victoria weapons and accessories may be the answer. I'm sure she wants to promote her own figures, but there' s alot of folks out there that need to know that they may no longer have to go scrounging and begging for RT era weapons to find lasguns, and other bits for converting their "true" scale historical troops.
Now if only you made less-than-heroic size bolters and bolt pistols....
Hey Vic, if this Kickstarter gets off the ground any idea what sort of stuff might be in it? Current stuff redone in a different medium or all new stuff?
Thank god I got tickets to Adepticon. Do all attendees get a swag bag with it or only the first 1,000 or whatever that got the VIP one get it?
We normally exceed the 1,000 mark for the "AdeptiCon" swag bag items and in recent years have done upwards of 1500. I would expect we will do that number or more.
Hi, A very limited selection of Victoria Miniatures will be available from the Aetherworks stall at CANCON this weekend. For something special, I put together these one-off squad packs. There are 4 different regiments and only ten packs total. These clamshells are packed to the limit with metal goodness. There will also be a selection of bits and single minis.
Cheers,
V
I think making these clampacks (plus one for Van Demon's World Devils) a general release is the way to expand your business.
Bits are nice, but ready packs of complete squads are nicer.
The holsters and arms with swords and pistols great for command groups and the rough riders 
[/url]
Those are tears of joy amazing just amazing, I was going on a no spend moment but that has been put back till I get these
