I dont have a UK distributor but I will sell direct. Postage for anything up to a Platoon (40 figs) is $16.95

Any chances of an AT gunner ramboing it up with his cannon?

Something like the smartguns from Aliens, perhaps?

Thats the job of the heavies

Aw but it's always more fun on the little guys too!

They look good though.

Looking real nice, they remind me of the soldiers from Jin-Ron (you ever seen it?), Love the fact that their more realistically proportioned, rather than GW Heroic style. Quick question I noticed on the Light Anti-Tank Gun that its a manually reloaded by the crew, are you going to include extra ammo boxes/shells for base decoration purpose's with the kit or are you going to make that sort of thing a separate bits pack at a later date?

I'm really tempted to make custom bases for these so you don't have to cut the tab off.... If I do I will mold in an ammo box to the base.

Yeah that's a good idea, preparing individual ammo shell/case's could be a little fiddly for a lot of people. Either way sounds great, thanks for letting me know.

Dang!

Just got my mini's yesterday, they look excellent, haven't had a chance to put them together yet but I'm very impressed, I'll be ordering more soon likely

If you have not done so, read the backers updates on Kickstarter... Due to the wrong sprueing of the arms left to right I created a image of what arm swaps you need to make.... I will get this fixed before release but I don't want you to get frustrated

Ah, good to know, thanks for the warning

So new parts then will be mailed out if I'm reading that right?

They look spindley and to thin.. but actually the proportions are spot on, Im just corrupted by a decade of GW Heroic scale..

Apart from the scale looking "off" to me, they are absolutely gorgeous models, the 3D design/printing has really worked!!

My only minor criticism is the shoulder pads look to "flat", overall great work, Id certainly pick up a box if I wasnt so snowed under with making my own minis! :p

AH

Thank you! They are a little wide in the shoulders but that could not be helped. Making these posable meant the arms needed to clear the chest. Ah well a small sacrifice for getting units that wont look the same

Kriegsmarines squad and command squad:

The comparisson of the Heavy trooper. How Big are they? compared to GW terminators?

I Think they might work well for my GK paladins, or characters.

I live in the Uk, how much will shipping be? Also do the heavy troopers come in boxes of 3? like the 3 pictures.

You may want to look at this for scale comparison. The Kreigsmarine and Sturmtruppen are the same size.

I will post the price each and available shipping options when I open them for retail sale in a week or so.

I like both the sturmtruppen and kriegsmarn models. Cool looking, realistic proportions, actual anatomy, poses with sense... brilliant work. I don't understand why so many companies are so scared to make proper proportions and anatomy for miniatures... The better they look, better they will sell, or at least i think so...

I guess since you have sculpted them by computer, the legs and other parts of both kits will be interchangeables, or am i wrong?

Now the questions are: How much? and When?

I want some!
Much ordering!

Thank you!

I should have these posted on my website by the 9th. I still need to go back over all invoices to get a $$

Very impressive. They make me excited about the other range you are currently releasing!

Awesome squads, both of them. They are very inspiring with a bit of the german we're all used to seeing, but not overwhelming and they look very like they could be real troops somewhere! Also I stopped by your blog and checked out your heavies and assault power armours....NICE! Keep it up man.

The only critique I'd give on the heavies are the backpacks are seem to be a bit too similiar considering that you've got 4-5 very different weapons. The backpack for the quadgun doesn't look like it distributes ammunition, looks more like a power generator - so unless the quad G42s spit out energy rounds you may want to consider changing it up a bit. The AnitiTank cannon uses the same backpack as the Nova and HEL cannons which I thought you may want to reconsider since the AntiTank cannon is a slug thrower and the Nova and HEL cannons are enervy weapons. Just a thought.

And your assault power armors I really like! Hey man keep up the good work!

Kinda digging that 2nd from the right command guy without the helmet.. will there be a bunch of no helmet heads, enough to make the whole squad like that? or is he just a special guy?

Looked all over your site trying to order these guys. Tried to pledge for the kickstarter only to realize that you've already finished it.

You said they might be out on the 9th, do you mean the 9th of this month?

Also, checked out your site, but the only things I could find for sale were some "Titan" esque models. Am I looking in the wrong spot or something? I really would love to order a few of these, as they look awesome and would make a great addition to the little IG army I'm making. These are going to make some seriously awesome stormtroopers!

Can't say I'm a fan of the bare heads on the command squad. They just don't look 'right'...

I would suggest either something elaborate on the helmet to denote commanders, or if you really want to go the bare head approach, have them in different/less armour. More of a formal uniform, maybe with shoulder pads and a breasplate.

Were can i buy these.

Sold. I see myself finding good use for them with Tomorrow's War.

Looks great! Lets are a bit skinny, but the top halves look fantastic!

Oh my, I think I have found something that I will gladly spend money on, should I decide to increase the size of my IG forces.
