Any idea when or if your other 28mm sci fi vehicles / tanks / apc's / 4x4's will be returning?

That said.. a bit more detail for you folks on Dakkadakka...
We're returning some of the original models starting from next month once the new prototypes and production moulds are completed.
The first trio will be the Hunchback (now called MkI) but with 2 new turret options, The Warthog (MkI) now with an easier build process and different front bull-bar, and the Merekat (MkI) with a reduced build process.
The Hunchback will then see a new MkII Series - which will be a logical extension of the MKI, retaining its overall looks, but different in size and with an open-top "truck/transport" variant.
The Warthog gets a bigger brother the "Polar Bear" with a similar body shape but slightly more "sci-fi" in appearance - for this we're doing a faithful reproduction of Jim Dobblers original concept.
The "old" Zebu is out as a DfI (Designed for Infinity) vehicle from either next month or the month after (renamed "Marrua Gaucho") - but it will be without any weapons or top-hatch.
... other factions and details will follow as they are finalised, but this will be the sstart/re-launch of the entire vehicular series plus with considerable numbers of new items already in 3D design. The aim from Next year is a new vehicle (or substantial variant) every month.

So glad those old vehicles are coming back. They are the reason I have your store bookmarked and I had finally got the money together for a big order only to realize you had pulled them.

I'm glad I bought like 4 Hunchbacks back in the day - that reminds me, I never got those replacement "plugs" because the turret doesn't actually have a peg on it to slot into the hole in the vehicle body... :(

Kolodo is moving into the Marvelan Confederacy faction as a big walker for the 15mm forces... not sure if we will still do that in metal or move some of it into resin... not looking at that until at least next week, but once done it will get moved into the release schedule, so it is coming back, :-) (I know a LOT of folks want to know that)
The "Missing" plug for the turrets will now come as a laser-cut disc, once the new vehicles are out give us a shout and i'll send some over.
I think he was referring to the faction specific dropships. Speaking of, I don't think we ever saw what was planned for the Nomads or Ariadna.
Regarding the Super Hawk though, will there just be the one version with the internals and opening hatches, or will there be a "simple" version that's cheaper and doesn't open?
Nomads have not been assigned a design yet, nor PanOceania or Combined Army...All three need work on concepts and I will bouncing ideas to Gutier as I make suitable ones... Haqq and Aleph have designs (Roc and Phoenix) - and the Aleph Phoenix is in 3D design as we speak.
Ariadna I cant show as it only exists in my head atm... and that is going to be physical build, not 3D... and it has rotors
Azure Dragon (Yu-Jing) is in prototyping right now - I will add a video of it to YouTube today.
Hoping the dropship gets elongated. Right now it's suffering from the embiggened cockpit syndrome of GI Joe toys.

Both the 28mm and 15mm size dropships look like they're missing a tail piece, along with engines on either side. With those, the design will probably look more balanced. I'd still rather see one with more bulk, but they're making several other designs as well.

There is a picture (the second one) where the missing components for the 28mm version are all visible. The cockpit and crew compartment are the right size for what they're intended. It looks weird because the cockpit is almost completely on top of the crew compartment. This is probably because the craft is designed to be able to fit between buildings. I had nothing to do with this design (it was a talented artist on DeviantArt I believe whose name escapes me) but when I was working up concepts for the TF dropship I had some similar ideas, especially given concerns over casting such large pieces. I believe it's only intended to transport 5 man squads too. If you look there are 4 vertical thrust engines, so conventional thinking about aeronautics and stabilization are also not going to apply here.
That said.. if you don't like the look, he had a few more designs he was going to release. I don't remember where those were posted but at least 1 of them was a bit longer and looked more like what most people would imagine. It reminded me of a Killzone ISA craft if I remember correctly..
I don't know why I was relying on images.. this turntable shows you how big this thing will be.. I think it looks perfectly fine but.. hey that's an opinion and we've all got those

Personally, I do like the AW better, ego aside. Then again the TF one was designed in a 2 day window and sculpted in about a week so it would be ready for the KS. AW takes time and gets it right
