I'm thinking that I can use those legs to get some nice variations in my Arcadian command squad. I might be able to work a few into my planned Tannenbergers too.

Thanks for all the fantastic feedback. Taking on the suggestions as fast as we can produce stuff.
Much appreciated, V

It would be nice to see some more female arm variety for all the various heavy/special weapons. As things stand, there are separate rifle arms available, and the odd piece (like the sergeant sword), but you have to buy male for the rest.

Excuse the asking but as the BFG accessories are being released, is the BFG close to comp!etion? I'm asking here as Reaper haven't included any updates on the KS page. I must admit that I am looking forward to taking delivery of my battery of three and the greatcoat crew.

I believe they are aiming to ship in October, if all goes to plan.

I have yet to see Reaper push out an update showing off the BFG and its crew..

Are Female Pith Helmet heads available yet? Been wanting those for years.

They should pop up in three weeks or so, if the post on Facebook is anything to go by.

They've promised a big update on 9 September.

Maybe we'll see the BFG then.

Smitty, if I were to do it, it wouldn't look much like that, I'd go for much more rounded and realistic looking armour.

Not least of which being because I can do without being sued!

You can use my design, it's a bit of a work in progress but not patented or anything

Spoiler:

still need to finish the straps on the legs, I cut out a redesigned mask today, it's more medieval looking, and I need a few little tweaks here and there to cut down on pinched love handles

I see no picture.

Don't know what to say, it's working on my end, I'll post a picture with the new paint later...

Understanding that these are designed to fit in with a certain company's product... Wondering whether they scale okay with others? Specifically, thinking of getting some of Vics custodian heads to put on Warlord Germans for Konflikt 47, anyone tried similar or have an idea whether they would fit okay?

Man just came back from PAX west

Found out that Reaper miniatures carries vics stuff for Cons.

super cool.

Any chance of not-arbites both male and female flavours?

It would be great to get some shell carrying arms or open hand arms so we can make gun crews.

totally second this ratking! open or not weapon wielding hands are so seldom seen....

Yeah, character arms/hands doing things like pointing, saluting, holding magazines for reloading, waving and similar gestures would be much appreciated.

I don't know about the heads but i paired up some of Warlord's plastic soviets with Vic's lasrifle mk 1 arms and they work pretty well together. As her stuff is marginally less heroic of proportion than say GW's they should be OK.

The Vic arms also scale up well with FW DKoK.

Hi folks!

Just a little from my end, here.

The original plan for the BFG crew was for their arms to be separate from the shells - I don't know it that ultimately is the case or not, it depends on what difficulties Vic ran into sculpting them.

I'm slowly chipping away on a couple of figures - this takes me forever as I'm not as comfortable with the human form as I am with the mechanical, but, that's ok. I also end up spending too much time faffing about with details until it's just how I like it - and then faff about some more.

There are some more weapons in the pipeline at various stages - some are awaiting moulding, some are in casting, some are waiting to go to the printers.

I'm working on some Not-Hybrid heads in various stages of inhumanity as well!

Also, I should be honest with you.. everything I'm working on, well, that is starting to suffer weather delays because as we finally start getting some non-crap weather around, I'm spending more and more time outside with the dog!

Speaking of dogs, I want to thank you all again for purchasing the LE Inquisitor-Judge figure - the money has been doing well and helping a lot of dogs. Thank you very much for your generosity!

Ah cool, thanks that's good to know, sounds like it should work then!

Is there any confirmation that the caterpillar tracks accessory for the BFG will be produced? I'm very tempted to get at least one BFG for my Vahallans in the future, but mainly if I can get the treads to go with them to make them like the Soviet B-4 artillery pieces.

IIRC they'll go on sale the moment the BFG is out.

Reaper is keeping quite mum about it though, their dislike for anything not fantasy must run very deep indeed.

I hope so, gonna have to wait for now then. Would love to have a battery of three firing at dirty heretics and xenos from point-blank range... (in practice, probably just lots of Marine players, but I might find a non-Imperial player...)

I do love Stalin's Sledgehammer.

Didn't know they rolled back like that! Presumably this reduced recoil stresses, but must have been hazardous for any unwary crew standing behind it
