You were rather lamely referring to something else old boy.

But aren't Arbites and Carapace/Shotgun vets the same thing?

I mean, with a broad enough view?

Perfect release.

Everything looks fantastic as always.

While I love these releases if you want that specific look you can do it now but it'll require some mixing and matching. PM me if you want a list and I'll send you links to the products you'd need to put it together.

BrookM, etc.. is there a list of confirmed future releases or is it peppered throughout the thread, I've only been casually following this. I've got a pretty good bit of Vic minis and knowing what's down the road would make planning easier (on everything but my wallet :/ )

Yay, it's prolly one of two things I've been saving up for!

If its female Tannenberg, then I'll be able to complete the foot component of my force.

Rest assured, Vic is not selling lesser Old Gods.

That said, I like the typo myself.

Just spent the afternoon perving on some armoured vehicles since the ADF was having an Expo in town today.

Bwahaha, Victoria left me a set of keys again!





The gun shield for the Sledgehammer, which will be available separately.

This will likely consist of 3 parts - the gun shield as one piece, and the two support struts.

Hmmm, toss on those tracks shown earlier and we got us something neat going on here.

Still, got to wait a year before it all to arrive.

Also, don't worry Brook, there will be more goodies for it as well. I'm working on two of them currently!

Interesting, looking forward to those as they are unveiled. Until then.. engage the wobbly lip of excitement!

It'd be better if you started engaging in shipping me a steady supply of some nice Belgian Wits and abbey beers. Would increase productivity via happy workforce far faster than the Wobbly Lip.

Ooh, rotten luck there, I wouldn't know a good beer, I'm a tee-total.

So send him a sampler of many varieties and he will conduct experiments on which boost productivity the most. You must do this now, for science!

Also, I am NOT Belgian.

I know that, but you're right next door. And I don't tend to drink beer from your country.

Come on, for science!

*back to work on Sledgehammer goodies*

Just a note, the other planned Sept release(s) may be a bit late (Octoberish) since Vic's taken ill.

In the mean time, sorry, nothing new for me to show you this week :(

D'awwww, well tell her to get well soon, no rush, if we waited this long, we can always wait a wee bit longer.

Wish her well for me! I'd rather she be in good health and wait a little longer for the next release instead of getting a release now and have her sick. Besides, when she gets better and new releases are announced, it'll be like a celebration of her good health

I hope she feels better. I wish good health to all.

Will there be any order delays? I put my order in last week and my Necromunda Campaign starts in 2 weeks.....

I hope Vic is well, it has been awhile now (over a month). Is there any news to be had?

How soon will that big gun shield be available?

Not until after the plastic gun is released some time next year.

Ah well. I will just sit tight and wait for the next promised wave.

Will these extras be distributed with the kit, or are we going to be dealt with a DLC style situation, where we have to pay for every additional component?

They previously stated that the main gun would be a kit and additional accessories would be available in resin from the store. We haven't heard differently that I'm aware of.

What happened to Vic?

re: Artillery, extra parts and whatnot will not be released for it until after the Kickstarter version has been sent out.

re: Absence, who knows? It could be that work has been really busy again, this has happened before.

 BrookM wrote:

Well, she was feeling ill about a month ago- I hope this is not still the case as it is probably something pretty serious if it is lasting that long. IIRC, her knee was causing issues over the summer (surgery?) so I hope there hasn't been some complication/s.

Has Victoria hinted the price range of the big gun outside the KS?
Suddenly I have the need to buy 3 or more for my IG Siege list.

M.

Hi all, sorry for the quiet.

I've been busy with lots of stuff (most of which can I discuss at the moment, sorry), and running your own business is tiring.

I have been working on more stuff for the gun, but that'll splash a bit later, since I think KS fulfilment is still listed at about a year from now, give or take.

Have no fear, the Matilda isn't dead, we discussed that on the phone last week - we're trialing a new printer service since Moddler discontinued the printer we used. "Wheels are turning". In the end, the delays suck arse, but I promise you'll wind up with a better project since we did some redesigning of parts (not looks, just parts and assemblies). The redesign has been completely done for ages now, but it wasn't until recently that we've found a printing company that might just cut the mustard. Thanks to both pals at Reaper and Dragon Forge for recommending them on the same weekend!

Vic's over being ill now, and last I heard was busy catching up on orders and sculpting that she lost time on while being sick.

Migeulsan, no idea about the price outside of the KS. I would posit that if you look, the pledge manager might still be open - it was last time I checked as I was going to grab a few of the dragons on it for my wife.

Ok, well, I have to work on some more tracks now...

I can confirm the Bones 3 PM is still open

Glad Vic is feeling better!
Also looking forward to seeing when these things you are working on are released...

Never joined after a KS was done before so what do I do, head to KS log in and just pledge?

M.

go here and register

https://ks.reapermini.com/bones3/login

you can then add things to your cart and see what they'll cost

hit the recalculate button so see changes to the shipping cost and total as you add things, then checkout when you're done.. You can come back later and add more if you want to later (this takes into account shipping already paid so there's no penalty for doing so


note as a late backer you pay slightly more than KS prices (the sledgehammer was $30 for backers but I don't know what the post KS price is), but generally still less than eventual retail, and your stuff will be shipped at the end of the queue

My wallet hates you Orlando.

M.

Your wallet will probably hate you even more, because the Bones 3 PM is open until June next year, plenty of time to go back and add even more

Every time I start to think I might make it out of a month with my gaming budget intact and free of KS, I remember this. Luckily some of those sculpts are not appealing to me.

Hey guy's just looked on the store site and noticed the Victorian guard squad are gone :( please tell me they will be returning?

Probably means it will return as a resin squad soon. Or retooled to have the universal arms. Orrrrr, temporarily taken down to be put back up alongside their female counterparts. /hypetrain

Has anybody painted a heavy mortar that I can see?

Seems cool in the shop but compared to others isn't the barrel somehow short?

Miguelsan, it's a short barrel, but it was based off an old trench mortar, which were very stubby.

But at least it's not this short!

I wasn't sure as I didn't know how the artillery uniforms differ from the Infantry in WWI.

Man, the suspense is killing me.

I don't know what's worse; waiting to see the new Star Wars (sunday ) or waiting for Vic's next big release.

^ Or the fate of Vic herself.... Well did you check the inventory availability of Vic site yet. which items becomes out of stock now?

I don't do it now because i'm not initiating a project that will use her products but the next IG army will use Vic bits... one way or another meow~

At this point, all we can do is wait and see, I'm sure some time next year we'll see life return to the company.

^ It seems someone here (can't remember the name really) told me that Vic doesn't seems to be healthy. (or i've guessed wrong) and said that she will be off for a while. Or did I interpret that message wrong?

That would be her partner in crime, faolan, but no worries, all is well, she's just very busy with other things as well. She's not just a miniature crack peddler, but also very involved in set and costume creation for theatre productions. I'd link her official site, but it appears to be off-line.

Hope she is doing well.

Last we talked, a week or two ago, she was busy designing a set for an Opera that's two states away from her normal housing and working on a mini.

I've been working on an Adepticon mini as well, so, still busy but nothing to show any of you yet from either of us

^ What about inventory situations?

Dunno matey, haven't talked to her in a bit. Best thing you can do is PM or email her via the site.

Patience is a virtue that is rewarded with awesome minis.

Especially since I'm actually sculpting some!

Hey what ever happens to these

Good question!

I sometimes forget about things I've done and then when I don't see them in production I don't remember them. I'll have to ask.

Are these Imperial Militia weapons part of Vic products? will it includes Autogun with rifle stocks similar to M1 Garand or G43?

There's already two autoguns in Vic's range that I've done, Lone Cat.

There's a few nifty things she doesn't have yet like Las Locks and Rotor Cannons, etc.

Rotor cannons you say..?

Just when I thought I was out.. you pull me back in!

Rotor cannons are the one thing I was missing in my list of weapons for my Veletarii, seeing as FW has already released them with power axes.

I'll be happy whenever the Matilda arrives, it's the only item at this point I'm still looking forward to, the other holes in my army have been filled up by less superior products in the meantime.

Is there any word on Vic's health? I hope she's feeling better.

Mousy, I almost sculpted some, then realised that without a lot of input I'm fairly crap at sculpting cloth, so decided not to, hah.

You could probably take the arcadians, add beards, make them 25% shorter, make them fat, call it a day, and you'd still probably sell them.

If Vic did squats I'd love for her to include the quilted armor. I always liked that look on the old figures.



Still want female pith helmet heads, though.

I never realised they actually produced models with that pattern of lasgun (which Lexicanum tells me is the Ryza pattern, although the source they give doesn't). I would like to see that in resin on Vic's store, although it is probably to similar to the lasgun Mk...3? (I think it is 3)

That’s an old RT lasgun, GW made them in plastic. Old, but should be out there.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone covet them though, I personally like a more modern lasgun, but YMMV.

(assuming you are talking about the gun from the squat pic)

That whole lasgun pattern name chart on lexicanum was a fan made thing, there was no original source, but FFG and other sources have started to label the guns as such. GW never named them, and if you look at the old artwork, the whole Cadian M36 started with the plastic models, even though the Armageddon steel Legion's "voss pattern" lasguns are the same as the Catachan's generic Las-carbine (FFG standard equipment name), but with a added dust cover, and on half the models a folding stock, the other half had standard "hardtail" stocks.

Personally, I love the MK2 las rifles due to the fact that they are super close to the style of Lasgun used in the artwork in Codex Battlezone: City Fight, though, I got a pile of the single piece rolled sleeve and gun arms in a trade off reddit a while back.

 MrMoustaffa wrote:

I'd get Bob Olley's regrettably named Scrunt models for that:

He sculpted a lot of the original Squats and all.

Those and the Digger models are quite nice, Brother SRM.

Right, the rotor cannon has 5 barrels, because, different, and those were the only 2 votes that were made.

These WILL take a good bit of time to come out, because to truly work well, it might be necessary to go back to having the arms on the gun, since the new modular arms certainly wouldn't look right with them!

Hrm, if the arms are sculpted to it and attached to the torso as once piece instead of 4, it'd allow for straps supporting the weapon, a better looking ammo feed, some extra cords and wires and thingamabobs, etc.

That would make that particular figure 2 pieces instead of the usual (torso/weapon/arms + interchangeable legs). Hrrrrmmm.

Perhaps you could sculpt the straps to the shoulders of the arms, in a similar way to the plastic Cadian flamers, which have a shoulder strap that goes over the shoulder of the arm? You could make it so that the piece fits any of the Vic torsos, without having to sculpt a version for each that way. Any ammo feeds to a backpack could be handled in a similar way to the flamer tank. I'm sure a little bit of modifying would be required to get the arms+backpack set to fit any of the torsos, but I doubt that anyone purchasing from Vic is going to be totally novice modellers. It would force only one pose without some remodelling, but it would allow for more combos without having to make moulds for all 6 or so torsos that are available.

I would certainly be fine with integrated arms on this one, because I can see it being quite different in the way it is held to the small arms.

I've attached a picture of the flamer I was thinking of.

Yeah, I'd thought of that, but it more needs a strap coming around the off-hand shoulder all the way around. We ARE talking about Five Barrels of Fun, here.

Hmm fair enough. It could still be possible to have the strap attached to the shoulder, if it attaches to the opposite shoulder across the front of the model. The backpack could then be used to hide where most of the return strap would be, so that it would be a modular part still.

We're currently looking at getting some of the parts scanned in (like torsos, etc) to speed up the process.

The fun part is finding someone who can do it reliably.

In addition to what BrookM posted, we already have the torsos and legs

I believe there was talk of doing greatcoat legs without the flaps buttoned back, in more of a Russian/British/everywhere that isn't France way (hence the Mk1 bit).

Any chance we'll see these riot shields restocked? http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/riot-shields-x5

I wonder how well those would go with Betrayal at Calth bolter marines.

IIRC, they are considerably smaller than the Marine boarding shields FW sells (which are surprisingly big now I've actually got some of the models), so they would probably look like oddly shaped combat shields.

Thanks for that Haighus - just the heads needed then!

Or just the female tannenburgs....

Yes, quite! Femmenberg and the Matilda are still at the top of my wanted list.

They are indeed a bit smaller.

That said Brook, for the right bribes I can make you Space Marine sized ones...

I think this post on Dave Taylor's blog shows a pretty nice size of the boarding shield next on some Tempestus Scions


If everyone is putting in requests again, will we ever see rolled sleeved missile launcher arms? I wouldn't mind if they just took the current ML from the GW set, but I just want rolled sleeve arms on them!

That being said, I'm looking forward to all the new releases from you two this year! Especially the motorbike if It comes out sooner rather then later! Good luck getting everything done!

When will the Victorian Guard set reappear on the site? It's been gone for a while now.

If it could return accompanied by a female set, that would be ideal

Since this thread has just become a wishlist I'm adding my requests:

Female Tannenberg
Female Victorian Guard heads
=
Female Praetorians! Please make this happen.

Some "not-Kasrkin" arms and legs would be pretty cool to see.

Nice, nice stuff.

And hrm, shot guns? Shock mauls?

I don't want to be JUDGEMENTAL but could there be some sort of ARBITRATING models coming shortly?

Yup if we got some...Heavy Armoured Riot Teams with shock mauls, shotguns, riot shields and robot dogs.....shut up and take my money!

The you would need some kind of Street Judge to lead them

I guess Military Police could also fit the bill and keep up with the Theme of vic's mini's.

If I could wishlist anything from Victoria Miniatures it would be heavy flack jackets and sci-fi french firefighter helmets to make Rogue Trader era IG look alikes.

BrookM wrote:I wonder how well those would go with Betrayal at Calth bolter marines.

They work quite well, until you realize you only have 15 shields to do 20 marines....

From Facebook:

Greetings folks, the Victorian Guard 10 Man Squad is back. These boys have stock for a while, but are now ready to move out. V

http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/victorian-guard-riflemen-complete-10-man-squad-resin

Yay! She's back!

Woo! That's part 1 of my wishlist, now just need a female squad to join 'em

Does anyone have the bald female heads and the spare pith helmet from the Victorian guard head sprue? I wonder if the two bits would work together to get a female Praetorian head.

So, in HH5, there is an option for infantry heavy weapon squads (be they Loyal or Horusian) to take Multi-lasers heavy weapons.

Who wants some small swag for helping me design this blighter?

I do! What do you need chief?

Ah yes, I should have explained the process!

PM me your drawings and ideas, then we'll pick the "Best one" and go from there.

That said, if there's two amazing ideas that morph together into one, you both get something.

Please note that it won't be a faithful reproduction of your idea, liberties will have to be taken for manufacturing purposes.

Oooh, very cool! What's our due date?

People can shovel them in, the due date is whenever some get picked and started on, and that'll be announced. Probably. If I remember.

Alright folks, I've had a few entries come in so far.

I'll give it two more weeks, so call it the 14th/15th of Feb, depending on where you live.

Are we talking man or marine portable?

Man portable, feth the Adeptus Astartes.

What Brook said, MAN portable, not Superhuman.

I visited your FB page and saw a cool pic of an APC design.

Kind of curious what the future brings for additional vehicles to pair with the Matilda. I'm assuming it'll depend on how well the Matilda works out, but I'm curious if you and Vic have had any discussions about potential plans.

I'm in the market for APCs/IFVs and variants for arty and whatnot, and I'd love to have something that meshes with the Matilda.

The APC on the banner? That's a 15mm scale model, an LVT.

Also taking submissions for Laslocks, deadline is 21 Feb.

Still no Arcadian fluff on the site
Bummer

But the minis look tempting!

Didn't Victoria use to sell gas maks in sets of 5? I wanted like 20 or so to equip old school GW plastic stormtroopers but the only option is one mask and 3 goggles that I don't want.

Tell Victoria to check it, those masks do not appear when typing "gas mask" or "gas-mask" on the search bar nor on the weapons and gear tab. I thought she might have been out of stock.

Well if I like your heavy mortar next time I order more I will add the masks to the order

Was pondering it earlier today, shortly before I went to bed in fact, M.

Except that would be aboslutely massive, so I might have to do something different.

LAST DAY FOR Mult-Laser SUBMISSIONS!

I don't suppose you guys will be represented in any way over at Salute this year, would you?

I love your un-ending hopefulness that one of us will brave a 20-odd hour flight for Salute.

I guess that's a 'no' then...?

Well, I can't speak for Victoria, but I don't think it was on her cards either, since she can't make Adepticon 2 weeks before that for other work reasons.

Awww man, I thought some type of product was posted. I will go back to waiting...

My apologies for asking something and dashing your hopes son.

I think she had one in progress, Brook. I'm not sure if she ever finished it or not, haha, as I don't get the right to keep track of her progress, since she pays the bills, not me!

I have one done, however!

From Vic on facebook

Hi, I have just received a huge re-stock. Riot shields are back. Watch this space for some more bits re-appearing as well as some long awaited new releases smile emoticon

http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/prod…/riot-shields-x5

Ooh exciting, I'm hoping for the bikes at last! Hopefully with compatible riding legs. Would make an awesome Rough Rider conversion!

The Matilda is also long due

Colour me excited.

Hoping for Matilda and FemBurg.

Victoria's going to be putting up new releases werrrrrry shortly.

Ooh, another excuse to throw money into the Outback! Any hints to contents or release dates? Pretty please?

How shortly ........

To be honest I'm surprised it wasn't a couple of hours ago, LDD.

What's a few moments compared to the wait we've already had eh?

Personally I'm hoping for either the Matilda or FemmenBurg.

Place bets!

It's not the Matilda, we're still in a printing queue for that. Sadly there's only a handful of places with machines that can handle the Matilda and do a good job with it.

*edit*

Also you should know it's not the Matilda since you haven't heard me across the world screaming and giggling like a wee girl. Pictures of my painted one will be up on Facebook before it goes up for orders, since I'm going to insist we have a painted one on the website for selling it

Well, that's something to look forward to then. Hopefully it won't hit until after Salute.

Ok, I'm glad I didn't read Faolan's message this morning, I would be quite impatient by now... How far ahead of the UK are you guys in terms of time-zones? Wondering what time Vic is likely to be getting up again tomorrow...

From this place, it's around twelve to fourteen hours into the fuuuuuuuuuuuutuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeee for me. So one hour in the past for the UK.

I bet Femburg.

My favourite thing ever is when I double post.

feth, I edited the wrong one.

Too late now.

I have brought great shame to me.

Ok, it'll be dakka.

I don't know about the Femburg, as in, I literally do not know, I only get consulted about "my" stuff.

We have a meeting scheduled for next week (to give her time to get over the jet lag), I'll ask about things like Femburg and (yes) bikes (again).

I've got a catch up scheduled with the prototyper who'll be doing the Matilda and a few other things, I'll ask him about the timeline on that too (which I can only relay to you if Vic ok's that), but keep in mind there's a multi-month logistical "tail" that goes onto that as well since it has to get master moulded, cast, production moulded, and then production stocks have to be built up.

Thankfully we should be headed into cooler weather down here soon, so the Australian caster might get more productivity in (when casting resin, the hotter it is outside, the faster it catalises which means you get less pouring in per mix, which means more wasted resin).

Believe me, nobody, not even Vic, wants it out more than I do

I'm even working on trying to put together a release for Adepticon next year, and a Christmas one as well. For two companies.

Also, Blacksails, your name reminds me, I need to go over to a friend's house with real internet later and watch what's out for S3 of that series!

Yes, I had requests for Bren's and Lewis guns at about the same time from several people.

However, the Lewis Gun was designed for a slightly different purpose, which has yet to be released. And it wasn't the Matilda! (Although it will show up there as well)

...Bike side-car perhaps...?

All the hardware looks excellent.
The mention of the new addition for the Bren being in the same section as the Matilda paired with the showing of the spare tire has me thinking Desert Raider.

I have long wanted to do a jeep-type vehicle for 40k, or a weaponised dune buggy. I just have to get blessings from someone to do it, that's all.

Now that would rock.

Nicely done on the Lewis and Bren, wasn't the Lewis mounted on the Matilda prototype a year ago?

Oh well, these do make for interesting alternatives to rotor cannons. Post-Salute I'll be putting in an order for sure, I need another squad of Auxilia Flamers and maybe, just maybe also a squad of not-Veletaris with not-rotor cannons.

Yay Bren gun, thanks faolan.

P.s. Th adepticon mini is looking sweet congrats

Brook.. those AREN'T the rotor cannons.

Trust me, they aren't! Those are just heavy stubbers.

We'll see, I'm more for rule of cool than having something look 100% WYSIWYG, I'm horrible I know.

I saw this on your FB page Interesting ......

You have my blessing to make a jeep based on the previous pic posted

If you make that jeep we need twin Vickers K guns too.....

I do like the horrifically over-burdened, over-gunned SAS jeep on the previous page- the mission where they just drove a few of them round a German airfield at a walking pace causing as much devastation as possible before pegging it is one of the most hilarious missions I have heard about in WWII.

http://ww2today.com/26th-july-1942-sas-raid-hits-the-desert-airfield-at-fuka

Lewis M37 says you. T-21 Light Repeating Blaster says I

Not to be a spoilsport but when will we be getting female Victorian torsos and legs to do with our Victorian arms?

See Brook, you snap these up because Auxilia and Militia have access to heavy stubbers. Count-As Rotor Cannons for the time being if you must.

And then, Rotor Cannons when they come out!

Sorry, the closest I personally ever got to Necromunda (rule wise) was Mordheim. The closest I've physically been to it was a guy painting up some old Necromunda figures a few weeks ago. (Having lived a few places I have in the past, the game about gang warfare never held a patch on seeing it in action yourself!)

Actually, with Vic's blessing, I've been researching and prospecting, hopefully to expand the lines of figures a bit more. There might even be concept art to slag off in the future!

Except for my wallet and my wife. There was a great gnashing of teeth.

So from what I see AUS$50 is around US$36, which is certainly in the same ball park as GW's $29 for 10 Cadians.

Just noticing that...

that's all.

Certainly don't need more stuff to paint right now.

Nope. Not me.

I wasn't going to buy another squad. I wasn't. Until..

The prices are USD, Kid_Kyoto.

Those Tanneburg are beautifully sculpted. And that drummer...

Well, had some cash left over from ordering a Feldherr bag, so decided to get both the drummer girl and a squad of grrrls with plasma guns to act as Vexilarius and Veletaris respectively.

Just when I thought I was out..

But on the bright side, the drummer girl does make for an excellent Vexilarius, meaning my Tactical Command squad is almost complete now, just need to find two bodyguards.

feth I'm an idiot. How did I not think of that?

Now I'm having the challenge of figuring out how many squads of special weapons I need and how many squads of normal rifles and how many of shotguns.

Decisions decisions decisions.

Are there any troopers that match the ones that come with the giant cannon from the reaper fundraiser? I'd do a platoon of them to go with that if they did exist, but they don't quite seem to match any of the ranges on the web page.... ...maybe in the future?

I thought the Kickstarter Cannon crew were Tannerburg? In slightly different uniforms as they are artillery(wo)men/siege engineers, but Tannenburg none-the-less.

Maybe. Their tunics are much longer.

Now all we need are some female Arbites

(Vickers MG) No it won't be. LDD shared it over from my facebook site, it was done for another client (Gorgon Minis) who does historical stuff. It's actually not a Vickers, it's a Polish pirated copy of the Browning.

It makes sense for use in 40k as well, what with the crappy rules vox casters have in that setting.

Though where I'm going the vox casters actually work and thus, it's less about communication and more about raising morale for the rest of the cohort.

The morale boosting thing makes me think she'd be a good priest stand in; war hymns and all that.

Thanks faolan! I decided to get a couple carriages to try it out on based on what I could find. I figure in a worst case I can order a multi-pack later and use the "extra" guns with those carriages.

Could probably use one of the Vic minis chainswords and a strap to give her an eviscerator.

Hopefully there'll be more action on this for you in a couple of weeks (I'm looking at you, LDD!)

Also, especially you to LDD, we're working on this on the buddy-system - we'll keep eachother with regular updates on progress of projects to make sure we get them faster. Nothing motivates like the fear of looking slack in front of each other.

It is really great you are doing this. I am pretty sure every IG player has always been dying for realistic female minis to match. There as so many disappointments from other companies.

I really hope you go all the way with all the regiments. I would totally buy some female ratlings and Ogryns as well if you started to sell those as well

Hey guys, it's very cool that you'll swap bits as needed! Have you ever considered something like a squad builder program/tool though? I think that might be a cool logical step forward and make it easier for customers to place orders for squads that don't fit the archetypes you have already put into place. I know it would help me out a ton and ensure I don't have to do a mental checklist everytime I want to order something.

Will we be expecting Female Victorians?

Yes! We need female pith helmeted heads. Those combined with the Female Tanneburg bodies will make perfect Praetorians.

I suspect the reason that's not available currently is the sheer amount of work it creates on her end. Which is why there's basically a small "discount" for buying an entire squad of one type, or, conversely, a small "rise" if you buy separate bits.

The reason a lot of small companies don't offer it is that manpower mentioned above, and the way moulds are generally made, you have all of X in one mould that gets poured together, all of Y in another, etc.

Looking good!

Vic, you are speaking my language!

Sorry to criticise, I really like your stuff normally, but I think those greatcoat legs are not up to your usual standard.

Like the previous femburg, they have no hips so don't really look like female legs at all and have absolutely colossal feet in proportion to the body.

I am all for non-sexualised female miniatures but these just look anatomically wrong to me.

I think the Arcadians were much more hip-y, weren't they?

Ah, I didn't even think of that! Sorry.That does make a good deal of sense and if it's not viable, it's not viable. It's not gonna stop me from buying though.

New legs are looking good, I don't think they need to be more "hip"-y though. It's a greatcoat. It's gonna leave a lot to the imagination. If I had one criticism, it's that that the legs look extremely long. Very lanky to me

Yes, good point. I think the female Arcadians looked a lot better.

I hope this image illustrates the point I'm trying to make better than I can by typing it out.

I think people are assuming the waist is where the greatcoat is belted closed,

but I think the belt is higher up the body (think 40s high waisted trousers)

so the hips are further down the greatcoat flare (and so large enough to be female) and the legs aren't as long as you might think at first glance

If that's the case they've got some incredibly long, Tau Air Caste-like torsos.

Thanks for the feedback. These greatcoat legs are literally the female Arcadian legs with the tunic and pockets trimmed off and greatcoats sculpted over the top. The leg length and torso length is exactly the same. They are exactly the same boots.
I probably should not have photographed them half assembled as it makes it hard for some people to visualize the full miniature. I'll make the hips slightly bigger but I have limits. I'll leave the mazzive over exaggeration in that area to other companies.

And thank you very much for that!

Awesome work on the greatcoats so far!

Now we only need some female genestealer cultists aswell as Vostroyans
