Whilst I love their stuff I ordered the autocannon arms after a few of the alt razorback turrets.

Design = Cool
Casting = Horrendous. Absoloute shambles on both orders. Bubbling on really tiny sections of the barrels. Horrendous mould lines across key bits of details puts a real downer on the nice designs...

Looks cool to me
More practical having them seperate from the fingers imho

not sure about the shoulder pads - does work with the square nature of the dread body.
Love the weapons themselves though!

It's a massive diversion from the existing 'style' of Imperial construction from a group that already spent their "weird crazy stuff" quotient on force weapons, teleport gear, and lots of extra bling.

To a lot of people it would be akin to the Tyranids suddenly getting a Rhino-variant with the excuse of "Um, well, they ate someone that knew how to build one really well."

Tyranids-that-use-tech could be a cool and chilling evolution, but it needs to be introduced very carefully as it's a break from existing lore, even for a group that is known for rapid evolution (On the other hand, the Grey Knights tend to be portrayed as somewhat old-fashioned even if never explicitly said to be. They do not, after all, embrace Change.) It would be even more annoying if the Tyranids-that-use-tech came out in the same book as a bunch of other Tyranid evolutions in other areas with little to no explanation.

Hi everyone,
I've just registered on dakkaforums, as i saw the thread.
I will post anything Puppets War related here in advance.

About the casting quality, as of this week we got the new "technology" installed so the quality should be much higher and flaws free.

Around 20-30 orders containing autocannon arms were sent with only half of the autocannons ordered, the missing autocannons were sent immediately after
we discovered the error, and we are working on a compensation for all the people who didnt get their order sent correctly.

I can tell you as a little compensation that new "small models" and walker shoulder pads are on the way

Regards

Ork Commie heads are inbound!

Also, one has a beard

Not my style... but they look cool. Very cool.

GW has intentonally taken the scalpel to the 40K-canon in a number of ways in recent years.

I like the old-school-fluff/canon/aesthetic as much as the next guy, but this isn't your grandpa's 40k anymore...

That doesn't mean people have to like it.

This is, admittedly, a "Everything created when I got into it is the best, the new stuff sucks" but I can personally defend the Rogue Trader/2nd->3rd "Cleanup" of the background. it was a definite evolution of background and rules. I have trouble with the newer evolutions as they seem much more ham-fisted and don't really 'improve' things.

Tervigon?



I kinda like it, more bulky version of some of the conversions of Trygon/Carnifex I have seen.

I have the Russian Ork heads..they look pretty good. Match them with great coat bodies from Kromlech or Microart and you're onto something!

Bah, I think I have a bad source of news. Forgive me!

Don't get me wrong, I don't like many of the changes either, but then 40K has sort of become "No Country for Old Men" if you know what I mean...

I don't think GW considers guys my age or older who have been playing for 20+ years any more.

They want guys like that to go away so that when they change something no one notice/call them on it...

Sorry, Chibi - have to disagree on that one. What is the point, and how is it more practical, to have clawed fingers...and then have great big claws over the top of your clawed fingers?

Having the claws mounted on the wrists reduces the reach (and hence effective range) of the weapon. Having the claws mounted "as" the "fingers" a) increases reach and b) removes a "bullet trap" on the model (which is all the extraneous clawed fingers are, really, at the moment.)

Artur, if your reading this...bring on the "claws as fingers" walker hands!!! (Oh, and glad to hear the casting is going to improve.)

Padre^.

Because every time you pop a biccy in your mouth you will rip your throat open
At least my way you only lose an eye.
and it still looks cooler

Mental picture of a Dreadnought trying to snack:

"Hmmm, this looks tasty...choc chips, my favourite!... Hang on... ARRRGH!!! WTF!!! MY EYE!!!"

Padre^.

PS. Artur, still prefer long "finger-claws", despite Chibis excellent rationalisation...

Does anybody know how much it cost in America to get these awesome bits and do they charge alot for being shipped to the U.S.A like forge world?

The site's pretty clear on the shipping costs here. It also has a currency button for $$ at the top of the page.

10 seconds of looking on their site.

Hi,
We have just released a sneak peak of our new fantasy dwarf mini


he and his friends should be released in 2 weeks

That is a promising looking photo
Anticipating more piccies soon please!

Just placed an order for a pair of the walker auto cannons, If the quality has indeed improved I'll be placing more orders

Hi,
On our facebook page, we have posted the preview of the ork vehicle - buggy,
and scaleshot of some of our heads range.






and the buggy

That Buggy's looking mighty nice. Any idea on a projected cost or release date?

Best (and only) new Ork buggy we had for 10 years
Nice homage to the Volkswagen Buggy.

Love the buggy!

The buggy is a thing of beauty. Nicely done.

Buggy is nice but it looks like a mighty tight fit for one of the boyz....

Then paint it like Herbie. No driver neccessary.

BTW any plans for more Alien creatures?
