But more importantly - does it have a drive wheel sprocket?!?

Amitire?!?

Yeah, it looks more Malcador sized from that I guess.... what the heck, so it's a local STC derivative and a more primitive engine forces a bigger hull.

Any release date for it yet? I want some of your street furniture as well but I know the shipping will be murderous so I'd prefer to make one bigger order than a bunch of smaller ones.

oh no no. Nowhere near the size of a baneblade.

More like a "true-scale" Leman Russ, I would think. Will there be different turret/sponson options?

Escalators? Soon?

You just quoted the picture in your last post that shows that it's nowhere near the size of a Baneblade...

It's smaller than a Land Raider, which isn't a super heavy.

At most consider it a "Heavy Tank" like the smaller Malcador

A couple of new products up on the site.

Large Girders



and..

Tyres. lots of tyres.




Oh. nearly forgot. Updated Desert Buggies.

Nice, the desert buggies will look good with the right weapon and a crew of which plenty of the sentinel pilots can help with that folks have or can get their hands on!

Has anyone heard when the "Escalator " section for the city set will be available

Don't suppose you could give me a scale shot to the old ones? I still haven't gotten my old models put together (renovating my work space). I'm totally willing to shelf them of the new ones are easier to assemble and/or better scaled to getting orks stuffed in the driver seat!

The escalators still need a little work, so can't confirm a release date yet.



Next up are the Conquerer tank and Tramp Steamer.

they're the same size as the earlier version, give or take a few mm.

Thanks for the quick reply,
Steam boat looks marvalous

I just discovered your site... Why, oh, why must it be so expensive to ship to the US? Your Imperial Ruins are phenomenal, but I could be filling my table with GW scenery for less than that... :(

Still, anxiously awaiting that tank!

You realize it's coming from literally the other side of the world?

Shipping not that bad when you think about it.

Go and have a look at what people from this end of the world pay for everything you take for granted, and then come back and tell us how much of a spoiled child you sound like.

Yeah, I realize that. I wasn't expressing a lack of understanding about the economic complexity of our globalized consumer markets and why that would cause a few sheets of MDF to cost so much more than the ones at Lowes (which, when you think about it, are STILL a marvel of modern supply-chain logistics!). Rather, that "why..." was more of a cry of frustration at the fact that there was something I like but it's not realistic for me to order it at this time.

He did mention US distributers being needed soon... maybe I can help with that.

Everything in the US does come from the other side of the world, and is cheap. You folks are much closer. The problem is that shipping companies avoid your continent because of drop bears or something.....

You mistake my admiration of, and desire for, a great product for stereotypical American entitlement and a lack of understanding of global supply-chain economics. It's an understandable mistake, and I forgive you. I am under no illusion about how much I and my family benefit from being citizens of a country with the world's largest consumer market, the political goodwill to leverage it, and the military force projection to protect it and the networks that supply it. I am quite thankful for it, in fact!

That being said, your uninvited insults and assumption-laden appeal for pity at the fact that you live in a quite powerful Commonwealth country that (according to a University of Canberra report two years ago - Full Report Here) has seen significant gains in household disposable income, is more than a little annoying.

Perhaps we should get back to talking about miniatures?

Whilst Alabaster.clown did come off as a bit harsh, I can only wonder what their reaction will be when they realise that you have mistaken their New Zealand flag for an Australian one.

On topic, if you do get around to ordering, or becoming a distributor, you will find these products are pretty damn good. I have some of the sand buildings, watchtower and pantheons stuff for terrain. And I'm currently building the Goblin Guns. I highly recommend them all.

Touché. Guilty as charged, sir. My bad on that one.

I definitely want to get my hands on them. Like I said, they look phenomenal! Personally, I like my 40K with tons of grimdark, so the more imperial/gothic the better. Imperial ruins and Pantheon both look like they might fit the bill.

Then there are those sweet vehicles...

Huh. So, I was just giving a think today on the Rocket/Flame/Bullet Buggies and was wondering if it would be possible to use the infamous salt weathering technique on the MDF - would it get waterlogged when rinsing the salt off? Or would the underlying prime and basecoat(s) seal it?

If you want to do something like that, I would use an actual wood sealer on the MDF before priming and painting.

Salt weathering works just fine on MDF and cardboard as long as it's well sealed with a spray undercoat and you brush the salt off rather than rinse it.

Ooh - pretty! Thanks for the WIPs! That's awesome!

Wow, and to think I've been just throwing away the crud at the bottom of my pretzel bags all this time

The Conqueror III Heavy tank is now available to purchase.

Got my hands on 3 Tactical response Vehicles... love them!
A LOT earlier in this thread you posted pics of heavy turrets.. what happened to them? They never got a release? :(

I do need them.

So thinking of getting a couple of tanks for my ig. Thinking 2 or possibly 3 chimera alternatives and a leman russ. In terms of scale, the tactical response vehicles are closer in size to the leman russ from what I can tell from dimensions.... But I really like the conquerer III...

Hey guys. I take it these are the same scale as drop pods? http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?Code=BNKTL

Is it possible to cut doors out of them? I think I could make a hinge using magnets. Yes, I know there is the one that has doors but, I don't really like that one.



Also, I love this: http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?Code=BNKPOD

By the way, your new tank is amazing. Does anyone here know how painful it is to get these to the east coast?

Oh the example for what I meant is below. Cuts are in yellow, magnet placement is roughly in blue.
