Haighus & lancebenchpress, have an exalt each! Awesome suggestions, those conversions look quite achievable by my meager standards too, which helps a lot... on top of looking fething brilliant! I'm going to do some more research on the Puppetswar and Maxmini heads, hopefully they'll look okay mixed together!

Tallarn and Skitarii here I come!

Wow. So, I saw that post with the great coats and arms etc, and it just clicked: I may never start another sci-fi human army along the lines of IG.

But if I do, every part will come from Victoria.

(And worse, I really want to now.)

aready doing it....one of us...one of us....

**Krinsath**

Despite my gigantic painting queue and planning on adding more with Dakka's new game, I can't help but see a platoon of female Tannenburg troops in my future at some point.

Hopefully vic doesn't release them anytime soon for my bank account's sake.

You're welcome

From one of the comments in the blog with the Puppetswar heads being used on Vic models, they said the Maxmini heads are a better size. The Puppetswar heads looked great though.

Post Apocalyptic

So why not both post-apocalyptic and power armoured?

That was me

the Puppetswar ones are nice all be it a little small, the Maxmini ones are larger and scale better IMHO.

I like the more rag tagged look not power armoured, but each to there own.

I had the odd Forge World Cadian backpack lying around that went perfectly with the Arcadians of either gender. I've supplemented mine with a mishmash of various packs I had lying about: Elysian equipment pouches, Krieg backpacks, spare US Infantry backpacks from Warlord and other bits and bobs.

I really need to get around to painting more often..

F.L.T.R.: FW Elysian, FW Cadian, FW Krieg, Warlord US Infantry #1, Warlord USMC, Warlord US Infantry #2 and FW Elysian (two medical kits stacked on top of each other)

Ugh, well here goes my next amount of alloted hobby money, they look awesome, I wonder if warlord has a big enough market for ebay bits traders yet....

**BrookM**

A sprue of regular WWII US Infantry comes with ten backpacks (half with an entrenching tool, half without) and various other bits and pieces like pouches, bags and knives.

**Barzam**

Still hoping for some Brodie helms with gas masks at some point ( or greatcoat legs with puttees)

**BrookM**

I'm sure they're on the list of "stuff to do, maybe eventually be done"

Jeeze, whelp, Now i'm going to have another reason to buy some historical minis. and with Vic's arms, I might have a better looking conscripts use as well.

**BrookM**

With a bit of cutting and fitting you can attach the Warlord arms to the female torsos. Or, give the girls WWII weapons, which don't look as out of place in their hands:

**lancebenchpress**

Brook: please stop giving me ideas, I know it's payday and all, but I have to pay bills!

Does this mean you might have some more pics of said models?

**ChazSexington**

A lot of people, including me, use Twitter because Facebook isn't quite as private. Easier to use pseudonyms and such, and most other miniature designers bar GW have a presence. Well, GW do have account, but it isn't in use.

Until Vic does her own ones there are always the westwind secrets of the third reach ones.

Their not amazing but they do the job

Fyi the bloke at the front with no gun is waiting for vic to do a bren gun for him

Bren gun, gotcha. Good Monday-Tuesday project for me to warm back up.

**Javin**

I use those heads for my IG!

Now if there were female heads without masks with the brodies.....

**Haighus**

Yes! Bren guns would be brilliant!

Although the dude at the front looks more like he is expecting a Sten gun from the way his hand is angled.

**faolan**

Alright, go-ahead for the Bren guns have been given. As soon as I finish it and another small project along with it, we'll send it off to the printers.

**Haighus**

**Barzam**

Awesome, more space Brits!

**Blacksails**

Speaking of new weapons, is there in the works some sort of flame throwing device?

**BrookM**

It's in the works IIRC

I thought so too, but it can't hurt to hear it from Vic and/or Faolan.

Jake is the guy in charge of the weapons.
