Being involved in a major court case seemed to sideline us recently. I won't go into detail, but much of the stress has definitely been lessened lately.

We had numerous projects in the works, and we have quite a few kits done and waiting for release. I have made a rule to not show products until I have painted pictures of them. This is the first one for the year (one of many).

The "Spartan Heads compatible with Space Marines" consist of a sprue of 5 pewter heads. Each head is different and this set sells for $5.50.



I have a few more products I will be showing next week as soon as the paint jobs are done. Some parts compatible with Space Marine troop and vehicle models, Imperial Guard weapons and conversion kits as well a stand alone proxy for an Eldar unit.

I love the second and 5th heads. The others are pretty good too. If they fit with the fluff of my army, I'd snap them up in short order.

Vary nice.

Very nice sculpts and paint there nick!

Thanks everyone.

Tomas (the sculptor) is also and excellent painter, but I would rather him sculpt then spend time painting. Between accounting, customer support, shipping and packing and now metal casting I dont have time to paint either. Hopefully Ill get some nibbles on the painting position.

I'd offer to help, but I'm too busy with my own stuff, let alone even getting around to it.

Maybe that is every painters problem I only tend to touch a paintbrush when I am in emergency mode for a tournament that needs painted models... (last thing I painted was 2 lashwhips and 4 boneswords for my Swarm Lord and his Guard)

But has done nothing to deter you from using the names of another company's products in the names of your own products.

Methinks that would be unwise at this time.

Those helmets looks slick!

Would Chapterhouse consider sculpting Kukri knives that might fit on IG troopers? I have been looking all over for suitable 28mm Kukri bits without any luck.

Anyway, awesome helmets keep up the great work!

Oh God.....Here we go....yet another news thread devolving into a 'are you guys really legal?' one?

Please prove me wrong and don't go down that route Dakkaites.

Yes. He does. In one of the umpteen dozen other threads that have been devoted to that precise topic so far.

I think its been discussed to death so very many times that its almost like popping into a litko thread and making the meme reference by this stage of the game: everyone knows it, everyone's done it to death, and everyone wishes everyone who goes into it would move on and talk about something different.

I really like those heads, make for some neat conversions I think, possibly sternguard.

With regards to the legal stuff, why dont we just leave them to sort it out, nothing we say will make any difference. Just enjoy the product

GW owns Spartan now too!? **** someone should tell the Greeks, maybe they'll take to the streets and riot again...

Love them, keep up the good work.

Those are really nice "Spartan Heads compatible with 28mm armored models."

I´ll post side view pics of the heads tomorrow if I cant find time to do so later today.
There are LOTS and details being omitted by frontal pics only.

No, nothing like that. I make no assumptions nor judgements about the 'legality' of what they make. I just question the wisdom of even mentioning GW products given their current predicament.


Other than that I think they're nice heads.

This

They look very nice. I already have a project in mind where these would look perfectly. Can't wait to see what else you have coming.

First thing you've produced that I'm really, really interested in. I think those would look great on my soon to be added to my DIY chapter GK's. I'm going to wait to see what the plastic GK heads look like but I might be placing an order.

Any chance of seeing them on a space marine? That would help my decision tremendously.

Heads for Sternguard sound good... might have to dig deep and grab me some sternguard

And the heads... obviously

Really like those heads

Ill see if Tomas can send me a picture for visual comparison purposes only.

I don't wanna get you in more trouble. I sent you a pm

Yesss... these look great! Also I'm looking forward to the IG bitz (I assume they are Hits_the_spot's autoguns?).

Among other things...

Just in time for me to start my guard army... :-D

Will you be able to release some kind of statement about the case once it is resolved? Any idea what sort of time frame you're looking at?

The second I get some spare time this weekend or monday at worst I´ll take some comparison pics and send to Nick.

By the way, there is somewhere on dakka a thread with these heads in green on marine torsos so you can look armour some and you´ll find comparison pics if you´d like.


Here are some side pics of the 5 heads. (Nick, you could use these pics, just cut them out)

Well they look good. It'll be a nice 10-12 packs of them I'd be ordering for me assuming the regular GK helmets don't look as sweet. Thanks guys!
