I jumped the gun again - sorry!

And thanks Zwan1One for the heads up!

Warmill is the only wargames company where I look forward to new releases just so I can laugh while reading the product descriptions.

Damn this all looks great.

Such. Bad. Timing.

I just blew about $200au on Infinity terrain for my birthday, and you guys were inconveniently not accepting orders even then :(

Well, I'm looking at doing a second urban sprawl type table, and the buildings I have right now make better office blocks, so one or two of these bad boys should still be good for that table.

With the MULE system, can the core units attach directly to other core units, or is a tunnel unit required?

On a different note, some interior detailing kits for the hab units would be awesome and pretty useful- sort of like a "home" pack with bed(s), kitchen unit and maybe a sofa type thing; maybe also a "lab" pack with dissection/experiment tables, storage tanks and computer(s), and anything else you can think up tbh, if you want to make and sell it I guess. Those were just the two things mentioned in the product descriptions I've read so far. They can just be scatter terrain that is intended to be placed in the hab (although could still set up some cool little dioramas with it- some gangers in an alley-way sitting on an old sofa next to some waste bins comes to mind). Atm they look a bit empty, which means you can model what you want in them, but it would make it easier for people who wanted it to look like an actual home, and either don't have the skills or time to make furniture effectively. Also something that sci-fi terrain lacks in general, which is why I am particularly impressed by the surgery shack and foodbooth (and now office unit).

Great work though, love the MULE stuff!

Or cryosleep pod, nutrient drip and VR brain socket.

Ah the good old interior detail question...

It's probably not going to be something we'll do for the generic habs and stuff, the cores come with a removeable lift and as you've seen, the office has removeable cubicles but the interior stuff will generally be done for single buildings like the foodbooth and surgery shack. We have a new street booth in the works which does include beer taps and a coffee machine though, so that may be more to your taste!

We'll shortly be getting a Solidscape 3D printer (sooper-dooper high-res), so once we have that we may print out some of the parts we designed for resin way back and look at getting them out, but we may just get excited and do all sorts of new stuff .

Beer taps are always to my taste
More seriously, the resin stuff sounds cool, new or old! As for interiors for hab blocks, thats ok, I didn't really want to start working on some stuff to go inside if you were going to bring out a probably far superior piece in a couple months!

Btw, I've been reading your blog, and I was wondering when the skips and the stacked boxes (which look cool but I have no idea what they actually are) will be added to the webstore? It says they will be released at Crisis, which was last weekend. I'm intending to create a spaceport theme for my gaming terrain, and the skips look great for that (alongside SIR containers oc )

3d printer you say? just down the road from me you say? :raises eyebrow:

I was going to put them up as soon as we got back from Crisis, but right now there's such a backlog there's not much point adding more to the mix. Warfare is next weekend so we'll put them on there straight after.

Yeah it's gonna be awesome It'll do 6 micron print layers, but having seen some minis printed on it going that fine isn't even necessary unless you're printing off a horde of tiny robots to roam across your desk

For no reason other than an excersise in reminding me how to use Solidworks (its hard!) I made a gunny based on a pretty sweet scifi we all love!

Ed

If you need a Solidworks Designer, I'd love some extra work.

Which version Solidworks are you using?
Looks like you're using Photoworks instead of Photoview?
Looks good though.

I'd probably bevel the area around the grip. It'd be more ergononic.

We're pleased to announce the release of our new terrain piece, the Refreshing and Invigorating Beverage Dispensary! Heavily detailed inside and out, the RIBD is available from our webstore at a special offer price for the next couple of weeks. Available in 4 delicious franchises; Costalot, Morebucks, Smug Clint's and High Senberg's! We'll be selling them at the Call to Arms show in Theale tomorrow if any locals want to swing by and say hi.

Some lovely pics to whet the appetite:

Weird timing- had just gone onto your website to look around and saw this up on the website, and was just thinking you haven't posted on Dakka for awhile, and what do I find when I check back?
Cool looking kit

Btw, on another note, when can we expect to see the security wall sets back? Most of them have disappeared from the webstore (along with the surgery shack). I vaguely remember something about you reordering the kits or something?

Looks great Still wish you would do 15mm scale

Yeah the last few months have been a bit hectic, hence the lack of updates. The Surgery Shack just needs the photos updating, which I'll get done today. We discontinued the Security Compound in its present form because the resin moulds were toast and to be honest they weren't selling enough to justify new ones. We are planning a redesign along with some new bits to go with it, but we also have the rooms for the MOD.CO.N to release along with a new range Ed's been working on so it may not be for a while.

@Necros we don't have any plan for MDF terrain in 15mm just yet, but we have been feeling the lure of tiny mechs and tanks and now we have a couple of printers it seems daft not to indulge ourselves. Still very WIP, but here's one thing that's in the works...

Good to see you back!

Great terrain as always, and love the signs!

I'm totally putting a Morebucks on my want list. That's awesome.


I ordered from Warmill at the beginning of the year (a number of items, including a FoodBooth, Wastestation and a BioVending), and have been really pleased with what I got. The kits are a bit smaller than some of the other MDF kits, but the details are exquisite, and the construction was well documented and went together very smoothly. I'm really happy with them as additions to my terrain collection.

The little street cleaner robot on your blog looks pretty cool tbh Any chance of seeing some more stuff about it?
Also like the idea of a bigger service vehicle that houses the little robot, something like the Olifant vehicles in Halo?

Man you guys make the best flavour buildings. City tables with habitation blocks, warehouses and stuff are good, but those little touches like fast food places with neon signs really finish a table. I really need to do an order with you guys,

When you say the neon pink signs were airbrushed - how was it done, just airbrushing an ink on the sign?

OMG someone actually looks at the blog! Well it's still a WIP but the intention is for the waste bin at the back to be removeable, and for there to be a large mothership lorry with little bays for emptying the small bins into. You would get the mothership (which will likely be an MDF and card kit) along with 4 of the little robots which would be autonomous. They're big enough to hide a couple of 25mm bases behind in partial cover, just something to add to urban boards besides more crates.

I'll check with Ed for the specific brand of paint but yep that's it exactly, just airbrushed in a gradient on the back surface of the acrylic.

Ok, the whole concept for the street cleaners sounds good- it really adds character to a board if you have little things like that to make the place look like it was actually lived in. Definitely something I would buy.

Any idea on roughly how large the mothership is likely to be at this stage? The robots sound like they are a good size.

Been trying to check your stuff out after seeing a pic in a different thread but your website isn't giving up the good easily! :p

So, with some hobby money coming in I decided to check your site out again, and once again it's down Someone doesn't want me to have some awesome Warmill terrain.

Out of curiosity, who is the Australian distributor? If it is Modfx/The Combat Company, colour me excited. They get most of my hobby money now already.

Hi everybody, we're back!... Well, sort of. We've been away so long that the backend for our webstore has changed, which scuppered the plan to have a shiney new header revealing the new stuff we've been working on until we get to grips with it.

We've been away for a while, due to a veritable perfect storm of partners, illnesses, frantic people desperately needing work done, etc etc which meant we couldn't man the Warmill trenches, but we are gearing back up and will be thoroughly back in the game this week. Behind the scenes, the big development is moving into international distribution; our first Australian distributor order will be going out this week to a new company Make my Model so keep an eye out for Warmill terrain in a store near you.

We've also been working on a new range, because what's the point in coming back if we have nothing to come back with? This range will be a complete research / resource exploitation outpost featuring the return of the Security Compound in its new and improved form. Ed's currently painting up a few prototypes to get some pictures out there so keep an eye on the thread for further updates over the next week.

Cheers all
Harry and Ed

Glad to see you are still alive

Looking forward to seeing what you have come up with.

Thanks for letting us know the website is back up, I've had a good long look at all your scenery kits and I absolutely loved it all.

I'll definitely be putting in an order in the near future.

Really looking forward to seeing the research station now since that's what I was planning on doing with the mule range.

Looking forward to the new items.What I've seen so far of the research station, it looks cool!
