^ will your new trooper head masked too?

They are wearing gas masks, yes.

Please have them in jump smocks too Steve !!!

Any chance of doing Cultists or Zombies? Can never have enough Zombies.

@SickSix: Sorry, I overlooked your comment previously. I'm afraid the tank is on hold for now.

@BigH: That's a possibility, I hadn't planned on that but perhaps I'll do some.

@Bullet Magnet: Possibly some cultist-types, zombies...not so likely.

Would these potential cultists be of the hoods and robes variety, or the rags and gasmask variety?

If I may, I'd like to make a suggestion for a jumpsuit torso piece. Nothing fancy, just like a boilersuit type torso piece. I've got an idea for making something along the lines of factory worker menials for my mechanicus and all I'd need would be the proper torso piece.

I was thinking rags and masks but I suppose that's open to discussion

The jumpsuit is something I've considered on the past, I've always thought a torso/legs combo was a better approach so you could really demonstrate the "one-piece" nature of the jumpsuit. How does that sound?

I like the idea of jump-suits. And if you added arms holding a variety of tools...

@Zogg: I'm sure that could happen too, you mean tools as weapons, correct?

i think what the hobby world needs is gesturing hands... in every possible way and left and right... holding tools... well that would be cool too...

Well, they could be used as improvised weapons, but I was thinking of things like wrenches, hammers, pry-bars, etc. With the jumpsuit bodies you could have a squad of civilian contractors that have been pressed into service. Give them a pistol to go along with their hand tool and send 'em out the door. Ooh... miner gangs... with pickaxes, shovels and lamps on their helmets...

That is pretty much what I had in mind. But, I'd include a welding mask head as well.

Don't forget the cordless drill

And a sledge.

A big hammer.

Jumpsuits would be excellent.

Hi Mad Robot!

Have you ever considered doing a sprue of detachable military-grade goggles that you could add to a guardsman's helmet? I know a certain Australian lady sculpts her own range of eye protection but they're cast in metal and really fragile and rather fiddly to fit! I'd love some big chunky sets to add to my troopers, for a bit of added spice how about including a variant with its dust protector covering on? The underside of the goggles would have to be somewhat concave to fit easily to a helmet and i don't think goggle straps or lack of would be a problem: most 3rd party bits are aimed at the 'advanced modeller in mind' we could just green stuff our own!

Anyways, a humble suggestion, keep up the awesome work, the new previewed renders look ace!

Fingers crossed...August 1st

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Great looking mini but I feel the hatchet is an odd choice.

The hatchet is from the sgt. arms, just needed something to throw on the standard bearer.

Actually, I quite like the tomahawk choice. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with my own converted power axes on my Steel Legion sergeants resembling tomahawks

Lol, of course not. Any pics to share?

Hey Steve

What ever happened to the DEVGRU heads without NODs and the second set of SpecOps/ PMC??

PMC parts, includng those heads, are like 3 or 4 on my list right now. No firm date on them but they are coming this year.

Cool - thanks.

Looks good!

Any plans to make additional arms for lasguns/autopistols btw?

Quick questions for any and all who could answer! I recently purchased 2 sets of small backpacks on Friday. It's almost been a week and it still says it's processing? How long does it usually take for an order to process and ship out? Also, I'm very interested in the torso sets, but pictures of complete squads appear "off" around the torso region... I'm not sure if it's the arms or the legs, or if the torsos are just a little bit smaller... Does anyone have pictures of just torso swaps with regular gw guardsmen so I could compare and get a read? I would really love to buy a lot of the items from the torso line but I would love a comparision.

P.S I really love your weapons, top notch stuff!

There is a delay because I was out of town for the weekend. I posted a banner on the website alerting customers to this.

The torsos should match up well for your needs, if you have any other questions you can always shoot me an email or IM me on facebook.
