This is hands down one of my favorite threads on Dakka, really shows the power of a great community

I'll try to get some pics up this weekend.

Great stuff though. Horrible wait and no communication until I complained.

Hi,

We apologize for that. I know that sometimes we suck at communicating delays. We both have regular jobs ( in my case two of them ) and this is side project for our and fellow gamers satisfaction and possibility to play with new toys. I hope that you will buy support us in the future if you like our products.

No worries, Zly.

I'm very happy with the quality and willing to give you guys another try in the future. Best of luck to your business.

This. The feedback we've received here is priceless.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Brace for impact, incoming previews of new goodies.

You're getting these pics even before our Facebook fan page, Dakkaites
These are photos of first production casts, sprayed quickly with grey primer (to reduce shine and bring up the detail). Starting today we have started building up stocks of these goodies, there'll be a small batch available on monday.

(images are links to higher-res versions)


1. Infantry-sized Automatic Cannon, with practical handles for the strongest of soldiers:



2. Servo Arm for everything you might want to equip with it (pics of assembled will follow soon)



3. Bulky Cyborg, an awesome miniature




I hope you like them!
As you probably see, these kits are pretty open to new parts and ideas, so feedback is (as always) much appreciated.

I am really pleased with our new stuff and it was fun to assemble this cyborg even with Tomash's whining 'make pictures, make pictures, did you make them yet?'

Love the cyborg body, but is it possible to get it other attachments for hands rather than those rather low-tech looking grabber claws?

Sure. What kind of hands would you like to see?
We wanted to keep his limbs low-tech, at least for first release

I love the body and even the arms. However, I'm not entirely sure if I understand what's going on with the head.

I'm hoping and assuming that this awesome Cyborg will coincidentally be comparable in size to the Terminator models from our "favorite" company, yes?

The head? Well, it's robotic, inhuman and weird (just wait for the painted version!). The sculptor of this set (Pawel "Hamster" Zdanowski) was probably watching "Hardware" yet another time

It seems that accidentally yes, it's very compatible

(this project originally started as "set of bionic parts for terminator-like models", but then we've decided that it should include as many different bionic parts as possible, and before we realized there we had all the bits to assemble a complete miniature. there will be two in the set, as there are two different types of legs)

The head has kind of chaotic feel if a low tech robot. As for terminators I never thought about that but now when you mentioned it, it looks similar in size.Base is 40mm.

For hands we think about some crude crushing replacement.For firearms you are only limited with imagination what can be attached instead of this hand.

And yes, it will be compatible with incoming double automatic cannon.

Wow, all of it is just awesome! Loving the new stuff you guys have put out this summer/fall!

I'm loving the servo-arm and cyborg. Thoughts on a mechanicus range?

Not really. Our friends from MicroArtStudio have a great "Iron Brotherhood" range which fits perfectly as Mechanicus.
However some nice kits to convert e.g. Cadians into AdMech-subsidiary units sound quite like an idea

Liking the Servo Arm and the Head from the cyborg. Could build a great Master of the Forge from it. Any possibility of a cannon that one could use as a conversion beamer, in the future?

I think this is a pretty smart idea - supply a complete cyborg body, so that modellers can use whichever bionic bits they need. I hope they sell well enough to warrant some more variant versions too.

Of course, the next move would be robot heads to allow a complete robotic body - wouldn't these make cool counts-as Necrons?

Silly question deleted.
I look forward to seeing the pics of the assembled servo arm.

Can we get some combat type attachements for the servo arm? Thinking the power claw from the Iron Warriors Warsmith. Would be a great addition for MOTF conversions.


/Just need more Powerclaws in general. Compatible with Servo Arms would be a bonus.

Wow, I was really hoping someone would do a bionic kit "compatible to Terminators!" Thanks a ton, expect an order from me very soon!

I plan to have a biker MOTF/Techmarine and that harness is looking mighty yummy!

I just took two of the leftover (didn't pass QC) casts of the Servo-Arm to see how they assemble. Long story short: awesome. Because the parts are designed to rotate freely at the places of connecting, it gives some awesome modelling possibilities.

These photos are made to show scale and combinations of the Servo Arm. The Servo Arm wasn't even glued to the Black Templar (there's a part in kit -- fourth from left -- that makes it easy to mount the Servo Arm on a cylindical or spherical surface).

That is awesomesauce. I've been looking to for parts to bash a techmarine, and that fits the bill.

Those are really nice!

Now I really want Power-claw and drill type ends for that. MOTF like a bauss.

Any prognosis on release dates for the cyborgs?

In my limited experience (2-3 orders) I've only had to wait about 2-3 weeks from order date to sitting in my hands, which is about what I would expect after ordering from overseas.

Keep up the good work.

Yes: some stockbuilding is in progress and we're starting with a small batch (10 blisters of cyborgs, 10 blisters of servo arm, 5 blisters of infantry automatic cannons), at this very minute. Have a nice shopping

The handheld automatic cannon is sweeet!

Really think you guys are going to have problems keeping stock of all of these new kits! Good luck keeping up with orders!

I've never used Polish Paypal before.

Anyway, thanks for more Resin Crack! I've been waiting ages for the Las/Plas to be back in stock!

I must say that it honestly looks too big for a servo arm. A servo harness maybe, but it does not look suitable for a normal servo arm.

I kinda like that about it... There are many conversions I can think of where a larger than usual arm could come in handy... I wanted something like that in my Storm Raven conversion to hang in the rear compartment. I came up with a different solution in the end I am satisfied with, but my initial idea was 'need servo arms'! Big Ones! Could only find metal ones, and they were sold out in general.

I can see a few areas where a snip and a cup could shorten them without compromising the look. To be fair though, it isn't fair to expect the client to chop things up to make it work and I realize that, even though I am sure many people would be fine with them as is, and a good chunk would also be fine to chop them to size.

I think the market can accommodate multiple arm sizes, from one size bigger than that, to one notch lower with a more 'normal' servo length, right down to a servo arm that would be the right size to use as a straight up bionic arm, but in that style...

In any case, it's a win for me, it wouldn't take much for me to figure places I would want to use it!

So much Iron Warriors potential...

Excellent... [/Mr. Burns]
