yup . The only part missing are arms. They are the trickiest part as I want to design them in a way that would allow fitting different weapons easily.

Great news, I think this will be my next project. Do you have an ETA on the arms--and a price point you are considering on the legs (trying to figure price/model). Thanks again for the info.

Same here!

They'd make great Alpha Legion Cell Operatives - nice!

Oh boy ...going to be very poor very soon!

I reckon theyre the best greatcoat legs ive seen on the market so far! Cant wait to buy these

Nice legs, babe The buttoned back flap (I'm sure there's a technical name) gives some visual interest and avoids the 'floppy dressing gown' look some competing great coats are suffering.

My only concern - will there be a choice of more than three?

Damn...now I'm broke again...

As we all are but I guess I will have to stretch that overdraft a little more and just a little more than that.

Thx ! Damn, haven't thought those will cause such a stir . But its awesome to hear you enjoy those.

Don't want to make any final statemts at this point , but those legs should be out soon - in a month or so.
Price tag has not been decided - again I'm checking options. In a week or so I'll propably run a poll on our facebook page asking you which material to use. As usual we can do those in resin - which I personally love as it offers the best quality and is so cool to work with. But it is expensive. On the other hand we can try casting those in white metal. The casts won't be so easy to work with as with resin, but we should be able to work out better deal (casting in white metal is not so labour-expensive).

At last, some decent great coat legs! I haven't really liked any of the competing legs from other companies, the proportions are normally way off and as has been said they oftem look like they are wearing dressing gowns!

These however are spot on, and I will be definitely buying quite a few regardless of whether they are metal or resin.

Good stuff!!

as you mentioned Przemas, you are working on those arms...any time soon to be finished with those? i think after that then i will have to make a complete platoon with your help^^

personally i would prefer here metal...but well it is just personal taste...

Resin for me i prefer the workability with that material however if it keeps the cost down, it is a tough one that I don't suppose we could have both materials? its just I am sure you could cover the cost of both due to the demand for these.


You mentioned arms cant wait to see them good that you are taking the time to produce them to work with all weapons fitting arms can be a real pain in the arse.


Will their be any chance of torso's to fit this range varying styles of great coats no body armour that sort of thing ?


Przemas you have completed Christmas

the torsos are already on their ebay store..:

just a quick list of my favorite non weapon realted stuff to build soldiers...hell one of these days^^...i have to really complete my other stuff beforehand tho...^^

Thanks Viktor but I have everything on that list (at least once if not several times) I have been with them since the early days LOL but I have to say they are a great team and do listen to what there customers want, I have to say the Polish companies out there producing stuff for this hobby seem to be the best in the market place, although I have to say a big hats of to Victoria Lamb as well she has created some really cool stuff as well.

Torso wise I was hoping they might create some just as great coats no body armour maybe some simple webbing or satchels or pouches that kind of thing, body armour is great but other looks is needed as well.

I'll be in for whichever option makes them cheaper because I want so many of these.

Ordered a set of large shoulder pads for my space wolves army, ordered on new years day, they arrived today thats very good service.

I love the jet bike, any chance of them coming with suitable legs to fit 28mm heroic miniatures from other manufacturers

Are you going to do great coat torsos because at the mo they look like great skirt legs (IMHO)....
Still great sculpts though!

at LDD... yeah i think a new torso really fitting to these legs would be even better... and from what i have seen...they are a buch of very good producers... and way better in contact with their customers then GW will ever be... if they do a complete line of minis like these somehow imply they will strom the market... i see then no point in wasting money for instance to FW or GW anymore...

With you on that Vik might make the other companies listen to what they want

Well you have caused quite a stir with these new legs! For good reason too, the details look excellent!

I think a selection of three legs should be enough but for the bigger sets I would not want too many kneeling poses as they stand out amongst a crowd too much.

Some arms, heads and maybe some different torsos and I never have to buy an IG Cadian again!

(I also vote for resin parts, simply because I prefer the material though metal parts would not bother me too much!)

.
For sure there will be another (differently themed) legs set - we already have it (yeah , I know - again I'm a tease ).
We're working on first arms set. It will take a while - as usual I want to make sure everything works as planned and the quality is top notch.
Also I'm thinking on new torsos sets.
There's already quite nice selection of heads, but for sure there will be more as soon as I get some fresh ideas .

Next week I'll check possibility of moulding greatcot legs for white metal. The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that it's a good idea. Still will work out a poll about it - as I'll be eager to hear your opinions on the matter.

I hope the torso is a great coat one please please please beg you are making me beg COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RESIN THEY MUST BE RESIN THATS A MUST RESIN !!!!!!!!!!

I definitely prefer resin, white metal would be alright but only if the cost was significantly lower.

Those look really good. I'm not into greatcoats but I know quality when I see it.

This should probably wait for the FB poll, but given the choice I'd always take higher price and resin when the QC is known to be good. This is already an expensive hobby, you're a premium boutique seller, and we have come to expect the best, they should be priced accordingly.

On the other hand, these legs do not lend themselves to easy reposing without requiring a lot of greenstuff work; so since they will be used as-is perhaps metal would be a good choice if it was a lot cheaper. A lot of the selling point of resin is easy conversions to my thinking.

For me, it's the far easier clean-up (if any) and the higher degree of detail. I'd prefer resin, but I'd like to see the price difference before I make a solid vote. I'm American, and we'll buy things we don't even want if they're cheap enough, so metal versions of legs which I really do want should be an easy sale at the right price.

If you make them weaponless arms, it would sell me on a Guard army.

Those bodies, arms with Forgeworld Elysian Bullpup lasguns, and unarmoured heads... Yeah, that would make me start a Guard army.

I am totally with you on the weaponless arms it's a must, nothing worst than being stuck with a particular design or set up of weapons (some of the larger companies could do to learn that one ) or if you want armed arms you should do a couple of sets.

Also while we are talking arms some more at rest designs would not go a miss sick to death of the same bad firing poses

I'm very excited about those legs.

Saw your Neo Brit heads awhile ago and thought wow if only they did torsos and legs I'd start a WW themed seperatist "space trooper army".

I feel I might need to explain to the Mrs where all our money has gone soon

Those great coat legs do look nice, but I'm still waiting for those lovely pith helmets! Me needs them!!! lol

FU Maxmini.... now I will have to buy your stuff. Those legs are all kinds of incredible. Great job.
