Dammit. I should check there more often. Wasn't a winner, darnit...

But in any case, glad to hear more Resistance Fighters are on their way!

Edit: A post I put up elsewhere on my ideas for using the SM miniatures for Metrovingian Ariadna units for Infinity -

I will be using Statuesque Miniatures Resistance Fighters for Chasseurs instead, as I can buy flame throwers for them easy, and they look cool.

Statuesque miniatures will be used to make Chasseurs (most likely both Recon troops will be modified to have sniper rifles or regular carbines, as well as Lila and Eva, with one of them using Lila's sniper rifle to represent an AP sniper rifle), and use the other styles line Metros (most likely the standing versions). The Resistance Cell officers will be made into 112 Emergency Service or Dozer Engineers, or perhaps Margot from the Mirage-5 team.

The Infinity Metros will be used to make the Inf. Infiltration / Ltd. Camo models, that way I can cover both bases nicely and have unique troops for both. The HMG Metro will be converted to have something else, probably just a rifle or possibly a D.E.P. (or the combi-rifle with grenade launcher that SM has), which would work nicely. They will also have their honkingly huge weapons cut away and have them replaced with the Statuesque carbine rifles, where as the SM Resistance Fighters will likely have the bigger versions (the one in the middle here will be their main gun, as well as possibly the LMG versions they have with the bipod.

I will also be using the guns for my Para-comandos and Briscards (both of which will be made using both Prodos Capitol troops and their AVP Weyland-Yuitani Commandos). The Para's will likely have the bigger AK style guns with a scratch built folding stock, the AK styled Sniper Rifle, and perhaps a few carbines here and there. Briscards will get the Recon Team weapons with the scopes, as this suits them better as Marksman rifles.

Andrew, another useful thing would be to have hand options for your miniatures, ones which aren't molded onto the guns. You could have some on a vertical fore-grip, an open hand, one which is pointing or giving a signal. I know you need a lot of your guns to have the hands pre-molded onto the design, but if you're able to make designs down the track which don't, that would be really helpful when making conversions. The ones where the gun is held in only one hand isn't so bad, but I just hate the chance of filing away too much stuff and having the gun look weird at the end of it.

Dang it, so tempted to get the core rules for Pulp Alley when they restock.

**DarkTraveler777**

Yay! Killer fembots are back in stock and now ordered!!! Been waiting to grab that deal for a while now, thanks for bringing it back.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Got to have all of those,

I think the good sister is the real star, but they're all pretty cool

(although managing to paint the Red Queens dress in an appropriate fancy embroidered style is going to hurt)

**Javin**

When are the heroic beret heads coming?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

My pre-ordered DA Denton, Red Queen, Doctor Strukov and Sister Anaesthesia have all dropped through the door,

looking spiffy as always with Statuesque's stuff

This.

**Andrew Rae**

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

The Heroic Scale Beret Heads are printed and going through production now. I'd estimate January for release. A long time I know but they are coming!

**Fenriswulf**

Andrew, not sure if I asked this question before - Would you consider making some of your guns without hands or arms molded to them?

The reason I ask is I love your weapon designs, but to add them to existing miniatures I have for Infinity (yours are a much better scale for them IMHO), I need to remove the arms/hands or file them off, which is damaging the look of the weapons as I don't always get it right. I know for some of them you need them held in a specific way, but being able to get some of your guns (Lila's sniper rifle is fantastic, and I wish I could get that separately, but without the bipod and with the barrel more in line with the ejection port) as separate full weapons so I can add them a little easier to my mini's.

I know you're just a one man operation, but it's something I hope you're considering for sculpts down the track. I often want to add one of your small carbine assault rifles to my guys attached to their backpacks, but need to hunt around for a handgrip and trigger guard and trigger to make it look proper.

Just an idea, amongst the wishlist of lots of other ideas

Your stuff is awesome dude. I hope to be able to preview some conversions and the like I have done with your stuff soon.

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce we are taking Pre-Orders for the new Pulp Alley supplement Vice Alley, along with the new Pact of the Oginali Booster Pack.

Vice Alley is a thrilling Pulp Alley expansion that introduces two new character types (Gangs and Associates), ten new perks, over two dozen new abilities, and rules for Bystanders. Vice Alley also includes a thrilling multi-chapter campaign designed to play just like the old pulp magazine and serial adventures.

The Vice Alley book is available at a Pre-Order price of only £11, saving over 10%.

Inspired by the most ancient of secret societies, Pact of the Oginali Booster Pack brings 10 fun new Fortune cards and 5 new Reward cards to your Pulp Alley gamers. Printed on premium 310gsm plastic coated (linen) to closely match the high quality printed Fortune Decks.

The Pact of the Oginali Booster Pack is available at a Pre-Order price of only £4.25, saving £1.

Both offers will run until 18th of November 2014. Please note that any orders containing a pre-order item will not be posted before that item is in stock at Statuesque, expected mid-November. For updates, visit the Statuesque Miniatures website or Facebook page.

@Fenriswulf: Guns are possible, but not a priority at the moment. The guns I currently sell are vastly outsold by the heads (bloody shared mould!) so heads are the priority for the time being. That said, weapons without hands might sell better as they would be more multipurpose, so it something I'll have a look at.

“Lock your doors and turn out the lights – the Frothing Loonies have escaped!”

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of our new Statuesque Asylum set, the Female Frothing Loonies!

Both offers will run until 31st December 2014 or while stocks last. We are also now into the Christmas postal rush, so please be aware your order may take longer to arrive than usual. The Royal Mail Christmas posting dates can be found HERE.

**bubber**

Nice - might get them for an AvP Requiem scenario!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Dang, female loonies and no cash to buy them until after Xmas,

Oh well on the list they go

**Andrew Rae**

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good Hogmanay and you aren't too bleary eyed today.

To celebrate the New Year, all the Resistance Fighter figures are now between 10 and 20% off full price. So if you've had a hankering for an all-female band of brave freedom fighters, including heroines of the Resistance Rosa, Lila and Eva, now is the time to grab them.

This offer will run until the 31st of January or while stocks last, so don't miss out!

**BrookM**

Saw mention that the heroic beret heads won't be all that long now, great news, really looking forward to those something fierce, especially with a new squad of Arcadians on the way.

**Javin**

Looking forward to those heads too!

**Fenriswulf**

Any new designs for the Resistance line of miniatures coming out soon? Would love to see what you've got planned for the new year and all!

**Javin**

Seems they are out of all their heroic scaled heads.

**Andrew Rae**

@ Fenriswolf: I've been posing a few new Resistance Fighters. Still a long way off, and done in between other things, but I am working on them.

The restock has arrived!

I know a lot of people have been patiently waiting for the Heroic Scale Female Heads to be back in stock and now they're finally here. Loads of 'em.

Also included in this batch from the caster were the master castings for yet more heroic scale heads, this time sporting fetching berets. I'll be checking them over this week and sending the castings back for production moulding, so these sprues should finally be on sale in a few weeks time. I know quite a few people have also been waiting for these heads so I can't wait to get them on sale.

Not only that, another set of heroic scale heads are making their way through production. Themed along the lines of the Resistance Fighter Veteran Heads, these sprues includes heads with sunglasses, an eye patch, a cigar, officer caps... Perfect for adding unique characters to your heroic scale troops. Hopefully, they'll be ready for sale in a couple of months.

Finally, the Resistance Fighter Sale still has a few days left to run, so don't miss out on the chance to start your own cell at a great price!

**Javin**

Any word on beret heads?

**BrookM**

From Facebook a bit ago:

But don't worry, more have been ordered (loads and loads more) and the good news is that the restock will arrive along with the castings for the new Heroic Scale beret heads. The production mould has been made and it's in the queue for casting.

Can't wait for the beret heads to pop up, I've got a squad of Victorian Guard awaiting these since December.

**lone dirty dog**

I am waiting on those heroic heads as well

does anyone have a scale shot of the loonies next to a heroic scale human sized model for reference please ?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I'll see if I can find mine tomorrow if nobody else has posted anthing by then and stick them next to some ork boyz and nobz

Here you go:

Hope that helps.

Edit: Forgot to say, the Heroic Scale Female Heads sold rather quicker than expected (3 months stock in 3 weeks) so as BrookM has quoted above, they'll be restocked hopefully by the end of February, when the long awaited Heroic Scale beret heads will also be released.

**Alpharius**

It does help - thanks!

It also shows how bloated GW has made their Guard figures - youch!

**Mathieu Raymond**

So *that* explains the face. It's all the bloated feeling.

**MLaw**

I think the GW head in the helmet gets a pass.. Every helmet I wore in the military or for other purposes was bulky.. very bulky. It's plausible that there's a correctly proportioned head floating about in that vast quantity of helmet.
What I can't fathom though is the Elephantiasis of the hands and feet that GW feels compelled towards. I suppose over-sized hands and feet are necessary though when wielding such massive weaponry.

Cheers mate that's brilliant they work quite well actually in comparison, might have to pick some of these up at the same time as the heroic heads then thanks again

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Just posted on facebook

I received an update from the casters regarding the restock of Heroic Scale Head and the new Heroic Scale Beret Heads. The restock should be dispatched by the end of next week, meaning I should receive it by the 10th of March. That's a bit later than I expected but they are coming!

should be good news for quite a few folk making not-sisters and similar

**BrookM**

Can't wait for those beret heads to show up.
