Amusingly, those look much like a commercial jetpack a company is selling:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/10/martin-jetpack-priced-at-86-000-mere-mortals-will-soon-be-able/

Plans for this year: Sell house, buy heavy armor, jetpack, chainsword and bolt pistol. Death from above!

I think I saw that on the Centurians once.

Pretty cool packs.

Pyriels best work so far. Excellent (and for the first time in history Chapterhouse actually beats MaxMini).
I like them large. Old tech should be bulky.
If I was a Marine player I would buy some (and I might end up buying anyway).

Dunno, its kinda also the first time ever the two companies are making the same thing too.

I'll be using them for my truescale marines so I say the bigger the better...although they seem to be perfect for normal sized marines as well. The people who think they are too big are just seeing them that way because the marine doesn't have arms.

Keep up the great work and I can't wait till they hit the store!

what is chapterhouse's website link?

http://chapterhousestudios.com/webshop/

damn I was all excited thinking they were up already....No kidding I plan on getting 20 for my pre-heresy army I have.

Nice tubofans, esp the directional flaps! A+

Wow...great job on these.

I've seen the MaxMini ones in person, and they are not nearly as nice as these.

You can probably expect an order of these from me.

I might have to convert a second squad of raptors and use these thigns. they look great!

Competition brings out the best for the end-user (but can be a PiTA for us producers ).

Needs more skulls and candles.

Yay now I can finally build a squad of Raptors when these come out! *mumbles about his hatred for metal pieces*

Ya know, now that I think of it, What's the chance of selling the engines only?

Zero.
Its just to tricky to sculpt a flawless seam with only one angle that fits between a round barrel and a rectangular frame in the time I set myself to do it all in.

On the other hand its not that hard to cut away the engines since they will be in resin.

SO what is the on-sales eta? It doesnt seem clear- also, when can we see an 'on model' shot to see how these bad boys work out?

Truley great sculpt- I would just like to see how practical they will be to use?

cheers

WARHOUND

Can i suggest making shoulder pads/vehicle accessories for Raven Guard, instant sell there

All your other products are great

Fresh,

Forgewolrd will be releasing them pretty soon with the new Imperial Armor book. I hate to directly compete with something they already do (unless we can do it nicer and better).

Nick

any news on when these are getitng released now? i've got some cash in my pocket right now which needs to be spent on chapterhouse stuff.

Preorders will be taken today (this afternoon)

They will be on the website front page, so keep a lookout.

hell yeah :lol:

What happened to the pictures of marines with arms?

Also, if a size comparison with the Maxmini ones could be arranged, I'd be very happy.
(and I guess there's no way of ordering from Pyriel- directly? Would be nice to get them a bit faster with national post.)

*prepares to buy 35 for my new BA count as Night Lord army*

I would need the product in hand to do that, I am waiting for the first production run.

Fat chance of a side by side comparison, thats just not good for business relationships

Hehe, I'll have to order a set to see for myself then, but from the look of the pictures, you'll win hands down.
The detail is really fantastic, plus the fact that putton the control pads/airbreaks on the bottom of the pack makes much more sense to both brake and control than having them on the top.

Were these guys sent out and received by anyone yet?

We have had mold making delays on these, they are expected to ship to us next week (the first runs).

Boneswords are shipping as they are produced.

that's very sad, I'm looking forwards to getting mine in the mail soon

Pretty nice jump pack. Bet it will make quite a few people very happy.

Once you cast the masters, you will want to adjust the holes on them with link up the the backpack. Then do the final production mold(5 backpacks would be a good number for the production mold). Production pieces this small should not have any more than 3% shrinkage unless you use garbage quality silicone.

So will these guys arrive by Friday you think?
