Drummer by day, hulking whirling chain blade of madness by night.

I'm sold.

Is it possible, however, to swap the Arcadian troops in the heavy weapons packs for Tannenburg troops instead?

There is a Tannenburg boys HW crew. But whatever the squad I will always swap out bits if asked.

She has swapped out bits several times for me. Always a class act.

Oh God yes please!

I do need like a ton of penal guard....

Drummer, and will Standard bearer be the next?

Success!

After a chat with Victoria today, she's sending the bikes over for casting, and has set herself the goal of finishing off 1 rider this week.

It's a coin toss to see if it's one of the girls or one of the guys that gets done first.

Hopefully there'll be more action on this for you in a couple of weeks (I'm looking at you, LDD!)

Also, especially you to LDD, we're working on this on the buddy-system - we'll keep eachother with regular updates on progress of projects to make sure we get them faster. Nothing motivates like the fear of looking slack in front of each other.

At long last they are almost here ........ Better thicken the wallet contents then

Any news on if there's female ushankas, pilotkas, and greatcoats on the way?

Ooooh, don't let the Commissariat hear that.

That's awesome. There's a LOT of the small companies that refuse to do this and it makes things a lot harder for people doing passion projects. Another reason Vic is awesome

Will we be expecting Female Victorians?

It is really great you are doing this. I am pretty sure every IG player has always been dying for realistic female minis to match. There as so many disappointments from other companies.

I really hope you go all the way with all the regiments. I would totally buy some female ratlings and Ogryns as well if you started to sell those as well

Hey guys, it's very cool that you'll swap bits as needed! Have you ever considered something like a squad builder program/tool though? I think that might be a cool logical step forward and make it easier for customers to place orders for squads that don't fit the archetypes you have already put into place. I know it would help me out a ton and ensure I don't have to do a mental checklist everytime I want to order something.

Yes! We need female pith helmeted heads. Those combined with the Female Tanneburg bodies will make perfect Praetorians.

I suspect the reason that's not available currently is the sheer amount of work it creates on her end. Which is why there's basically a small "discount" for buying an entire squad of one type, or, conversely, a small "rise" if you buy separate bits.

The reason a lot of small companies don't offer it is that manpower mentioned above, and the way moulds are generally made, you have all of X in one mould that gets poured together, all of Y in another, etc.

Looking good!

Vic, you are speaking my language!

Sorry to criticise, I really like your stuff normally, but I think those greatcoat legs are not up to your usual standard.

Like the previous femburg, they have no hips so don't really look like female legs at all and have absolutely colossal feet in proportion to the body.

I am all for non-sexualised female miniatures but these just look anatomically wrong to me.

I think the Arcadians were much more hip-y, weren't they?

Ah, I didn't even think of that! Sorry.That does make a good deal of sense and if it's not viable, it's not viable. It's not gonna stop me from buying though.

New legs are looking good, I don't think they need to be more "hip"-y though. It's a greatcoat. It's gonna leave a lot to the imagination. If I had one criticism, it's that that the legs look extremely long. Very lanky to me

Yes, good point. I think the female Arcadians looked a lot better.

I hope this image illustrates the point I'm trying to make better than I can by typing it out.

I think people are assuming the waist is where the greatcoat is belted closed,

but I think the belt is higher up the body (think 40s high waisted trousers)

so the hips are further down the greatcoat flare (and so large enough to be female) and the legs aren't as long as you might think at first glance

If that's the case they've got some incredibly long, Tau Air Caste-like torsos.

Thanks for the feedback. These greatcoat legs are literally the female Arcadian legs with the tunic and pockets trimmed off and greatcoats sculpted over the top. The leg length and torso length is exactly the same. They are exactly the same boots.
I probably should not have photographed them half assembled as it makes it hard for some people to visualize the full miniature. I'll make the hips slightly bigger but I have limits. I'll leave the mazzive over exaggeration in that area to other companies.

And thank you very much for that!

Awesome work on the greatcoats so far!

Now we only need some female genestealer cultists aswell as Vostroyans
