Better yet Sex Machine's revolver cod piece from Dusk til Dawn







Or a Combat Brazzier:

I just got a huge order from Mad Robot. The models are remarkably well done. The DaNamian troopers come in a VHS box (which I'm sure the guys that manufacture VHS boxes were pretty excited about) and a ton of fiddly extra bits. The details are sharp, even on small pieces, including frames on the aviator glasses and a stogie. The attention to detail is impressive including frames modeled on the rucksacks, so they can be worn or unslung with the inside of it showing without fear of lazy flat spots. All of it arrived within a week of order with no damaged components. And although it sounds impossible, there are virtually no visible mold lines, even on rounded pieces. I'm blown away by the level of quality of these pieces, and can't wait for them to finish soaking in soapy water to start assembling them.

@noneoftheabove0: Awesome! Glad everything was to your liking

Crap, that reminds me, I really need to finish building mine. Have a whole platoon's worth sitting in a box at the house as I haven't had time to put them together. Awesome looking models though. First squad went together great and they mix really well with GW Catachan bits, especially from the CCS box.

The really good thing is its consistent with every order as everything I have received has been of the same high quality, I have pretty much never found a mold line on anything which is an accomplishment in itself

I'm pretty shocked the "not-Mordians" haven't ended up here yet.

Our only sale of the year starts in a few hours...

Very nice!

@Javin: Just received the prints for the shoulder pads, I hope to have them up in a week or so

Sweet!

New Release Friday! Today we launch our latest regiment...the Lykan Sawtooths.





Close Combat and Rifle squads, as well as all the separate components, are available HERE

Nice.

Official preview of our last regiment for 2014...the Valksburg Grenadiers.







Building off our existing Imperial parts, the above renders are just a few examples of what can be made with this new kit.

Look for these to be available before Christmas.

I like those.

now...now...now...

I was hoping I could be steadfast... and now you come up with not- mordians and not- praetorians...

how can I resist...????... if you now also make marching legs, and standing at attention legs... and matching arms... you would be my personal heroes...

Very nice indeed!

I'm always a little surprised by how many different manufacturers producing the same sort of minis our industry can support.
They look fine. Not the sort of new concepts/nostalgia references I'd expect from Mad Robot though.

He probably is making these now because he already makes some of the bits to make these guys, so its not too much effort to add another line. The torsos I know he already makes, and I want to say the cap heads, arms, and guns are all already made as well.

Much easier to do than a whole new line like the Danamians for example.

Moustaffa has it right, it's completing a look that was started with those first parts almost 2 years ago.

Plus, Zulu happens to be one of my favorite movies

Those grenaders look awesome! I particularly like the bottom one.

Here's a fun render, featuring a mix of existing Mad Robot parts and new parts from the upcoming Valksburg Grenadiers.

Ooo im quite liking that heat rifle.

Cool, they are available HERE

looks like you have hooked me in again, that last guy looks very vos....something....troyan and the guys from zulu are great, if the quality is anything like the last batch i received then i think mad robot will become my only supplier for guard stuff, so far ahead of the competition in terms of casting

These look really great, hopefully I can squeeze them onto my Christmas wish list!

Any chance of spinning the guy with pith helmet and aiming his rifle (second pic) around so we can see the front of his torso? The officer's chainsword and revolver look the ticket by the way! Oh and I've been waiting ages for someone to start producing legs with high boots like those, brilliant!

Never really been a fan of dress uniform guardsmen before but I'm thinking your Imperial torsos and legs plus your tanker heads equals Jouran dragoons, that's what I'm gonna do with mine!

Here you go...



Perhaps an armored-up tanker head is in order?

I like that look a lot, it's generic enough to fill a lot of roles.

Very nice stuff. Your quality has much improved, maddus roboticus.

*adds to list of companies to keep an eye on*

Valksburgians look excellent. I hope the officer torsos will be available separately, I want a full unit with those.

Thank you for the compliments

This "Imperial" look is quite versatile, it mixes well with a number of our existing parts. All of these new parts will become available in our custom squad builder as well

@Crimson: There will be a sprue with 3 different officer heads and 3 different officer torsos, that is, 1 of each. Once we hit the new year, I will release those different torsos in their own sets of 5. Hope that makes sense
