To be honest the "Snout" one is the one I like the best.

yes, no, yes, yes, no

curse you for bringing out stuff I want but have no need for.

Although the top one could do for my chapter honour gaurd...

I really like the bottom left head, but with out the bird on the forehead. If it was blank we could throw our own symbols on as appropriate

I know this might be difficult to orchestrate... but you should make the heads available either as a set or individually. That way if I wanted to have a single squad to have a certain look... I could buy a "set" of 5-heads that all looked the same. I say this because I can see at least 4 different "races" or codecii in those helmets up there. Eldar, tau, space wolves and chaos marines (not including the pharaoh head which is really cool but doesn't "fit" quite as easily into a category).

You might get a lot more sales if people could pick the helmet they wanted & buy multiples of it.

I think that jackal head would be such an awesome item to base a Luna Wolves army around... choice man, just choice.

Must buy helmets.....

I agree with Gitsplitta on this one, its probably the main reason i havent purchased heads from anyone, usually only want 1 certain head style, which I understand is probably not cost effective for the maker ... but i would buy a ton

Mad Pat wrote:I really like the bottom left head, but with out the bird on the forehead. If it was blank we could throw our own symbols on as appropriate

I'd also like this. Either with no insignia at all, or with a blank raised plate of some sort to which a number or decal of our own can be added.

I'd even like to see more subtle variations of this one, maybe with tear lines under the eyes. I don't know what those are properly called.

Dont really care for the Jackyl or "angry marine".... Im looking at Non-marine armys. The rest are good to go for purchase tho!

I've seen that flat faced (bottom left) somewhere before... So familiar....

Top right just makes me think "Dragon-born".

But they all look really great.

The anubis one is nice! I can't wait to see how they come out in final production

Emperor Zerg from Toy Story?

Top to bottom: Not perfect but when I look at them this is my gut feeling.

Chaos marine or Minotaurs
Blood Angel (thinking beauty/vanity... not so much "Egyptian")
Space Wolf, specifically Luna Wolf
Tau
Eldar

Huh. That is so last page my friend - please keep up!

No, yes, yes, yes, no. The problem with these helmets it that there is too much variety! Each helmet seems to have its own unique style. What I would like to see would be a set of 5 of each variation, they all have huge potential but I can see plenty of possibilities for more helmets, ie bird styles to go along with the jackal and different faces for the "death mask" style. Just my humble opinion!

-- Yeah, not to be a party pooper but if you can't buy the heads by individual style I'll be passing these by. The heads just look too different and are not cohesive if you get 1 of each. And I simply don't like 2 of them at all.

-- So sprues of all the same head or bust.

whitedragon wrote:Sign me up for an army's worth of Jackal Helmets.

Still this.

I only want a pack of the Jackal helms, or none at all. I'd buy 20 right now if I can guarantee to get 20 of those heads, probably 30, and depending on what army I decide to go with, Necrons or Marines for this project, and possibly as high as 50.

New Bike wheels from Maxmini



4 for €5.99

Available here

In the past, MaxMini has always let you select which options you'd like in cases like this.

You only need to put the details in the 'notes/comments' section of your order.

It would help if the options are numbered, and maybe they'll do that too?

Will we be getting those pith helmets soon?

GIVE ME HEADS!! Seriously damn fine work. Luv the orkky, steampunky backpacks as well. Good job.

I do love the way we've got these great new helmets that everyone's talking about and then...


... a new wheel! It's... uhh... round? I guess...


... so exciting! Anyway, back to the cool Egyptian heads. My thoughts:



Top - Very cool.
Next one down - Nice sarcophagus mask. I like it.
Next one down - Very cool. A good 'techno-Anubis'.
Next one down - Awesome!
Next one down - Uhh... not good. See, I like the bird, as it fits with the theme. What I don't like is the angry-face teeth. They're a little too cartoonish for me, and really the picture from Toy Story 2 sums it up. If that was less prominent, it'd be fine.

I quite like the Teeth baring look.

Have to agree with gits on this, i know it might sound like we are being picky, but you really would get loads more sales if we can pick between the certain heads, ie get 50 or so of a single design.
Having said that i know that normally i can pick and chose with you guys and i hope you keep that up, will be buying some soon !

I'd like to see the snout on the Anubis head be even more sleek. And I'd dig a Horus-style hawk head in a similar vein. Great stuff, though.

Pith Helmets Heads have been added to the webstore:

Yes....im wondering this two....im lacking biohazrd warriors

I actually think the one with the snout is the best one, it reminds me of Stargate.

Finally I'm seeing the end of the paperwork that was a pain in the past couple of weeks. So soon I should be able to share some details about new equipment and sevices we should get .

But in a meatime I'll try to catch up with some new releases:



Let me know what do you think.

the gladiator helmets are definatly something fresh and new and not something only for 40k users...

Heads are great as I have ordered some all ready the nurgle beasts not my thing

Great work, as usual. Love both the gladiator helmets and the puppets.

Love those Gladiator helmets. And those great coat legs are AMAZING!

Hmm, the gladiator helmets on marines could be an original look? If they'll fit...

I like the not-Nurgle dudes too.

Wasn't there a gladiatorial IG regiment? Makes me want to buy some Chaos marauders and go to town building it.

Do it anyway and make your own fluff, cause that idea is awesome.

Sheeeeshhhhh - preparing new, additional room takes a while, but I'm super excited about it. We should be able to try some really new things in a week or two.

But heck, that's enough of me venting - let's get to the juicy stuff . I mean new releases . Here's latest piece by Morback - Biohazard Backpacks:

Those are awesome. Would love those, but its a pity they wouldn't work out so well on Khorne marines.

Nice for Nurgle though.

Those Rotten Puppets are really, really good. I love the expressions of cruel mirth- very well rendered. I'll be picking some of those up, along with the steam backpacks, when the new 40K chaos 'dex drops...

Any news on those Egytian helmets?

They are required for a Goa'uld themed force!

Does anybody do a nice line in terminator heads(Egyptian themed )?

I mean a replacement head for chaos terminator, with strong Egyptian/stargate theme

Nice powerplants for some Mega Nobz conversions!

First of all - new release

http://bit.ly/GUZmv6

A quick update on the greatcoat legs - we've just made first batch in white metal. I should be able to add them to the webstore this week . Resin version will follow after Salute.

Last but for sure not least a thing that kept me busy - after a long research and struggle we've got hi res 3d printer for our own! YEAH! Quality of the prints this machine is achieveing is breathtaking - no post processing work is required before moulding the prints. Crazy machine - and a true beast !

Here's a quick photo of the item printed during the test phase:



What's more I've been able to improve the prints even further - can't wait what we'll be able to come up with when I learn about all the settings and workflow associated with this equipment.

I'm working on a sub site dedictaed to 3d printing service. Got to admit it won't be cheap (hell, this machine has been VERY expensive), but the quality will be totally worth it.

This things keep Przemas in super happy mode .

I think Scibor's products fit Terminators reasonably well.

I also haven't had much difficulty adapting standard Thousand Sons heads to fit on the Terminator body (you have to cut away part of the "collar" behind the head of the terminator).

That helmet looks great printed out! Can't wait to get my hands on some.

Here's a preview of a piece that Maxime "Morback" Pastourel has been working on recently - nuclear guns:

I hope those are ready in time for Salute...and they come in large packs

Beautiful design Przemas. Nice.

My favourite Not-Melta yet.

Hell yeah! Sweet rifle. Would love to see that sculptor's take on a combination rifle.

Yeah, +1 to Scottwan's comment. I was thinking the exact same thing.

You have just made a lot of people very happy!

nuclear guns?




I definitely want me a pack of those

I ordered some bronze jump packs and diseased puppets recently. I managed to get them from the post office today (deliveries whilst I'm working suck!)

Really impressed with the detail, scale and crispness of the sculpts.

it's the second time I've used maxmini and again I'm really pleased with the products received. I'll be keeping an eye on those not-meltas

Lp

Looking good! You guys are getting better and better! Isn't it about time you expand and start creating your own range, you have the skill for it!

I love the actually unique take on meltaguns.

@Malika: thx mate - got to admit I'm thinking about it. We have 2 settings sketched out but I'm still not sure we're ready for releasing a game. Especially working on rules have become a major pain - while I can find tme to think about new models, themes etc writing a ruleset is another story.
Still there's a chance we'll show some of the models we have so far during Salute 2012 .

Please, I implore you, if you do 'combination' weapons, PUT THE SPECIAL WEAPON ON THE BOTTOM!!!

Why GW puts the meltas on top of the bolter I have no idea but it looks stupid. They still have the ejection port for the bolter in-line with the meltas barrel!

I think they look great with those torsos.


przemas, have you ever thought about doing female Sci-fi soldier bits?

Now some arms and heads, combined with the awesome weapons you've already got... *drools*

Kneeling legs have always been somewhat polarizing if only because they kill the uniformity of a squad.

Regardless, those are really the best greatcoat legs available right now.

My Order done and dusted till I need more

Out of interest, does anyone know of any UK stockists of Maxmini stuff?

I know there are a couple of ebay sellers who have their stuff, but I was after the MK2 mechanical hammer set and can't find it anywhere other than the official site.

a quick update on nuclear guns:


First casts have been done so fast mostly thx to our 3d printer - the prints were so clean we were able to mould them directly, without any extra hassle .

those are very awesome. How many will we be getting per set? 6?

Any idea on when the legs are going to be switching to resin? I'd like to order as many in metal as I can, as I'll be using metal pieces from other manufacturers with them and those metal legs would really help keep them steady.

The legs look very high quality, but 3 poses is not enough to get my invested in them for a whole army. I'd like to see 6-8 different poses of legs, a few being with flaps pinned and some without pinned flaps.

Oh man, and I already bought some of the armored torsos to do stormtroopers with. You're making me want to toss my whole guard army and start from scratch. I'm especially imagining that pair of kneeling legs with the armored torso, a picklehaub head and a steel legion missile launcher...

Have you a scale shot of the guns please

Looks pretty cool to me

Looking great!

LOVE the one on the left.

Looking great! 10 for $5.99, not too bad at all. Picking some of these up for sure!

Just bought some of the Gothic backpacks and two different Jump packs from MaxMini.

Have to say, stuff is awesome.

I'm a little disappointed though. I ordered 6, and asked for a single specific type of Gothic Backpack (so I'd get 6 of the one kind). I got two sprues with the three different types on it (so I have two of each).

I was under the impression that if you left them a note in the shopping cart that they would make such alterations to your order. Have they stopped doing that? Or was it an oversight on their part?

Any ideas?

Hi,

internet just ate my post. Grrr.

Basically I got some stuff (which is great. Very nicely cast) and am happy.

However I ordered 6 of the same type of Gothic Backpack. I got two of each different type.

Anyone know if they still maintain the policy of making the bits for you if you want only a specific part off a sprue?

@Lurker - drop me an email and we'll sort it out . Guys must have overlooked the comment. ATM I'm working on a solution that should prevent that from happening in the future .

BTW - note that the "custom order" option does not work on all sets. On some that would be hard to "split" into similiar parts it's not possible - for example "candles, books, skulls..." set. But usually it is clearly stated in the item description.

Not sure if there is a policy passé but If you contact them directly (before placing your order ) and ask them they might be able to help, did you get a reply before you placed your order ?

I would try this next time,I have always found them most helpful, but there may be limits to what they can and are prepared to do.

It would be best to ask and get a reply first, that way they will be aware of the circumstances and will be ready to deal with it.

Gather there is an answer to this after all

I just wanted to say that I ordered some of the great coat legs last week, and considering it was Easter Bank Holiday in the UK they came very quickly.

Very good communication with the store regarding the order, very reasonable postage and they came very quickly (especially as they came all the way from Poland).

The legs themselves I am also very happy with. I might have been better waiting for the resin version but am planning on buying a LOT more and wanted to get my hands on them to see what they were like.

The metal ones had some mold lines on which would be esier to remove from resin, but they filed off easily enough. I will get some photos up when I have finished assembling everything but all in all I was very happy, will definitely be ordering more.

Looks pretty cool to me

I'd really like a pair of the middle head; if anyone isn't that thrilled with theirs we could make a deal.

You know... as cool as those heads are... (and I do love them), I can see clear race affiliations with most of them, but there isn't the most obvious... tau, marine, eldar, chaos, normal human (marine again). But nothing there screams "Necron" at me.

Love them though... really well made.

I could see the first ones being used necron immortals or the guards and the last being reserved for the lords.

I was under the impression that they were intended to be used as 1K sons heads, maybe that is just me!

Just thought I'd chime in and say I ordered the Biohazard backpacks and they arrived and look great! I had asked for a special order of just a single design, and got exactly that. Arrived in a little less than 2 weeks, too. These are gonna look awesome on my plague marines. I'm sure I'll be putting in another order as my army expands.

Thanks, Przemas!

Just got my greatcoat legs and german heads in, only a couple of weeks after I ordered them (which is a pleasant surprise that they made it from poland to ky in such a short time)

Box got crushed in shipping and had a small hole, but thankfully, the boxed was stuffed full of packing peanuts and nothing fell out. thanks guys! I'll deffinitely be ordering more in the future!

Commander Cain wrote:I was under the impression that they were intended to be used as 1K sons heads, maybe that is just me!

Yeah, you think the paint selection would have helped give it away as well.lol

Aw man, when i go to make my order the greatcoat legs are out of stock :(

Looks like they need to be resin then!

no worries, we'll update stock levels as soon as we'll get back from Salute . The rush before event is pretty damn crazy - especially considering the fact we'll have some staff shortage during the event - we'll miss Karolina much this year. Hopefully she'll be able to go with us next year .

But here's last of the new releases I've wanted to add before Salute - nuclear guns:

http://t.co/igMGzLLJ

Hopefully I'll be able to take some prereleases .

Also I have my fingers crossed for the 3d printjob I've just started today - I'd really like to show what we can come up with using our crazy machine .

MasterSlowPoke wrote:I'd really like a pair of the middle head; if anyone isn't that thrilled with theirs we could make a deal.

They really need to take a cue from Puppetswar and offer them individually.

@biccat: we don't have to - we've done such deals from our very beginnig, years back .
I'll once again quote something from the main page of the webstore:
"Custom orders possible on most of the sets - if you wish to receive some specific combination of bits in the set (but still within the quantity of the items in the set) let us know which ones do you want in the comments field before checkout." .

Ah, cheers.

I am, however, unhappy with your decision to make me spend more money.

Yes its true it is they are very helpful and accommodating it only takes an email

Puppetwars has only just started to release heads in single sets, as for Maxmini you can have an assortment of what you want

So these have been out of stock for a while... is there an estimate on when you'll have them back in stock?

MasterSlowPoke wrote:

That's the only one I don't think I've really got a use for; so when they're back in stock, I'll order some and we can work something out.

Any idea when they're restocking the greatcoat legs? I'm going to need some more stormtroopers soon...

Finally caught up with things that piled when I've been at Salute . Woohoo! Yeah!

A quick update on the project we're currently working on :

Oof, nice.

johnstewartjohn wrote:VVery nice. Not sure about the one with the round lenses

The one with the round lenses is your troop's professor/library nerd come out to the field to grab that relic while the rest of the troopers fight off the bad guys. Very nice helmets all and all.

Absolutely awesome helmets, my only concern is that at 28mm scale, some of the details will be to small to paint, the tiny "crosss mouth grill" and skull above the eys on the top left one, for example.

AH

rhodry wrote:dislike the rounded lenses but the others are sweet

I second this. the one with the round lenses looks too goofy IMO

I like them all, even the round eyed one!
Now if I only had a need for them!

I like 'Round Eyes' best of all They're all nice in a steampunkish sort of way.

But I agree re the hair/fur plumes - I'd prefer them separate, or for plume-less varsions to also be available.

I don't like the round eyes but i can live with that

my only concern is the one with the big mouth grill, it could be restrictive with posing the head on the body

Any idea on a release date?

And now also make some Custodes styled bodies!

When Space Marines dream of Eldar helmets ...

The Custodian helmets are a continuation of the awesome that is MaxMini.

@ Przemas - is there any chance that your team could sculpt some grimdark Power Axes? Power Swords are dime-a-dozen, but Power Axes are woefully under-represented.

Please?

What about Imperial chainaxes that don't look like traitor weapons?

That would be good. Very clean, arrow-and-skull free chainaxes.

ALien Hybrids heads have been released:

I consider myself lucky - not only MajorTom11 has helped to design those and work out sketches , but also Bob Olley agreeded to work on them. Both did great job .

Cool! Nice to see them out!

I could think of a few things to use those with

Przemas wrote:I consider myself lucky - not only MajorTom11 has helped to design those and work out sketches , but also Bob Olley agreeded to work on them. Both did great job .

For the people not in the know: Bob Olley was one of the original sculptors of the Genestealer Cult miniatures, e.g. the patriarch on throne and a magus.
Edit1: Currently checking if he sculpted all of them except the riders, even if the catalogue attributes them to Jes Goodwin.
Edit2: Seems they worked together in designing these.
Edit3: Seems Jes only made the one piece non-magus Hybrids, Bob the other ones with modular arms.

Apparently they are making a Gothic KV2 tank

What scale though? A 28mm KV Tank would still look kinda pitiful vs anything in 40k. Guess they might stretch out the proportions or make it closer to 1/48 or even 1/35

That has the potential to be fething sweet.

If they leave room for a front weapon to be installed, I might just replace all my Leman Russes...

That has the potential to be very cool indeed!

@Prezmas,

Don't forget to update your thread title with your new products!

That is an awesome design. The problem with trying to use real tanks in 40K is that everything has side sponsons.

Damn, max mini never set a foot wrong

That turret is all sorts of awesome. I love the way the gothic arch has been carried over to the muzzle. Lovely stuff.

Very nice!!! Throw some Vostroyans or Valhallans with that and you have a nicely themed army! Hope they carry that idea forward and create some other Soviet Gothic (SovGoth?) vehicles. A nice gothicified Katyusha would be a hit I'd think...

Valete,

JohnS

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/450439.page#4297699
Some shots of your combat torsos

This tank excites me

That tank has the potential of looking awesome if it's done right. I love the arcane look of it in the concept art like the arches on the sides of the turret reminiscent of the arches on old cathedrals...it actually reminds me of the architecture when I went to Paris on a a art trip, especially the Notre-dame.

The tank looks promising.

ph34r wrote:The tank looks promising.

Given MaxMini's past efforts and ability to deliver on concept sketches, I'd say this promise will be fulfilled!

Looking forward to this one!

Reminds me of the Ragnorok tanks used by the DKoK in Epic.

The Gothic tank may work well as a stand-in for the Ragnarok tank from Epic.

[edit]I would have beaten you to it, but the internet went out on me :(

Like the look of the tank turret. Will fit in with my Quantum Gothic sentry guns.

Hope they also offer the turret in a static mount, for those wishing to equip their fortresses. Hmm, could also be an interesting sub-turret on a Baneblade?

Do we know if it's a whole tank or just the turret?
If they made just the turret, I'd buy me 3 - 6!

@MajorTom: I'll do that in a sec. Got to admit so many things are keeping me out of the net (and often out of office) recently that I have limited time for updating stuff .
But heck , most of the things we do atm are pretty exciting - we're finishing our CAD training and Pawel (great Zbrush artist that joined our team) is already doing wonders with the software .

@Newabortion: thx mate - great to see those put into good use

@alarmingrick: in the end plan is to build whole tank - but the turrets will be available as a separate kit as well (and propably much sooner thatn whole vehicle) .

Decided to start the week with a solid punch - steam knight nobles heads have been released:

http://bit.ly/K4XwI4

Damn, it has taken a while to get them done right. By when Daniel aka "The Overlord" has taken over working on concepts on those things quickly started to go along right path .

That's a cracking good paint job. I have no use for them, but they look fantastic.

"Hey Steam Knight Nobles #3 and #4 - why the long face?"

Personally, I think the one with the round lenses now looks like the best of the bunch.

They look amazing! Must try and find a use for them.

I would love it if your painter could do a little tutorial for his battle damage and shading, some of the best I've ever seen, kudos!

Good custodes or Mech heads

idd the paint job on these is cool and a tut would be great

wow, they look amazing.

If only i didn't play chaos. I'd order a ton of those

That's the only one I don't think I've really got a use for; so when they're back in stock, I'll order some and we can work something out.

Yeah, just send me a PM.

I think they'd look good for Slaaneshi models, Raven. Look like the old cultists.

One of our Facebook followers suggested we should do some drake cloaks . Bloody cool idea - here's first sample straight from our 3d printer (thus blue color). Photo taken next to a 2GBP coin so you could check out the detail

I can see both just fine...

Yes so can I cloaks look dam nice any chance of a scale shot

Must be me then

I had a similar problem the other day, I think it has some thing to do with the connection but could be wrong

those are great dragon cloak capes!

love the look of the cloaks

Oh, I want some of those!

lone dirty dog wrote:Yes so can I cloaks look dam nice any chance of a scale shot

What? You can't see the scales from the pic?


Loving those! The kind of thing that makes me want to start a new project just to use.

OMG these are awesome, from 3D printer? Can you please post spec of this printer?

Would have to look into manual, but it can achieve layer thickness of around 12um (!) - but usually I set it on 25um as difference is hardly noticable.
I found only 2 other printers that were able to get similar quality - can't state how happy I am to have one of those machines in the studio .

I've just added another piece by Filin to the webstore - Samurai Heads (BANZAI! ):

http://bit.ly/JIeX0e

gak! 12μm! Thats rediculous!!

The new cloaks look ace, and I'd also like to hear more of the technical details of this printer; it sounds amazing.

And these are just BEGGING for some samurai-themed futuristic human infantry bodies. We already know your team does fabulous work there!

not seen theses on here yet ...look very good .

Nice legs! Looks like they have some real detail, perfect for vets or stormtroopers.

Wow, awesome stuff. I am loving the trench coat and combat torso combo. You're head sculps are fantastic as usual, but I was wondering; do you have any plans on ever doing any female infantry heads?

Holy hell those are some great looking legs. Never thought I'd say that about toy soldier legs, though. I think my father just felt a pang of disappointment. Is there a timeline on those things? I was just trying to find a decent pair of legs to match up with your combat torsos and the beret heads for veteran troops. I don't think I need to look further, but just wait.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The more I look at the torso with those legs, the more I realize that Cadian arms will not do them justice. Have you considered releasing arm sets in addition to your other conversion sets? I figure rolled sleeves would look incredible with the combat armor and the new legs. I'm not sure if there's alot of demand for that sort of thing, but I know that it's not being supplied in any meaningful way. They'd probably make for a great veteran conversion. I also figure Greatcoat arms are probably in reasonably high demand. I think Kromlech has a set of Greatcoat arms, but I'm pretty sure they are Orc scaled. Just something I was thinking of.

@WhiteWolf: IMO there's no point of releasing heads only as there are no proper torsos / legs on the market . I know I've written this aroud a year ago but we're working on a more "complete" solution.

As another day of CAD training passed I've added Combat Armour Legs to the webstore:


http://bit.ly/KJQW9G

Gregor Adrian did a cracking job on the sculpting side, while Artur as usual did his brushwork magic .

CAD training courses turned out to be really enjoyable. Damn, and using computer to design stuff turned out much more straightforward after couple of lessons.

Meanwhile Kazube worked in the studio on new sculpts using Zbrush. Unless something keeps me outside the workshop I should be able to share some wip-s soon .

Those legs are amazing! Can't wait to see what you get up to with the CAD knowledge you have now gained.

Looking forward to see what you come up with . And those combat legs are gorgeous!

those legs looks great! is there anyway we can see a model using those legs and your torsos?

Release date for the drake cloaks?

I like the look of the legs, do you plan on any more posses?
the middle set of legs really narrows the posing positions I think.

@kendoka: as the prints turned out nicely I'm only waiting to build a sufficient stock level - and for painted samples from Artur .

We've just shown a preview of the first piece Kazube did during his trial period:



But Sonic Helmets are only the beggining of the steady stream of goodies from him .

Oh, you can spot a faint glimpse of the yet another option for our new logotype we're considering .

EDIT: Love 'em, by the way. Very interesting take in the concept.

The one second from the right, he'd better be playing the theme from "Duck Tales" as that's all I can hear when looking at him.

Pity really, as otherwise a perfect set to convert some old Noise Marines I have knocking around at home.

IIRC, if you order direct from Maxmini, you can dictate which heads you want, and more importantly, which ones you don't.

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the round, bulging eyes. Then I thought about the drugs that Noise Marines would be on, and it totally makes sense and I rather like them. I'm not crazy about the 'hooded' eyes, and would have liked to see more...scowling grills.

These look nice, but the very first thought through my mind when is aw them was CyberMen from Dr Who

Those are the most adorably awesome cocaine-infused helmets I've ever seen. I love them!

Second from the right looks like Howard the Duck eating taffy.

azazel the cat wrote:Second from the right looks like Howard the Duck eating taffy.

Congrats on being the second guy to make the duckface joke.

Second from the right looks like someone said, "What if I try to make a helmet that looks like The (Jack Nicholson) Joker?


"Go with a smile!"


The far right looks stoned. If it wasn't for the half hooded lenses, I'd really like that one.

The rest are very nice. If I ever decide to do my own nonstandard Noise Marines, I know what helmets I like.


Eric

It looks that with the new skills we've been chained to our desks . Still I'm doing my best to get some time for updates .

Sonic Helmets have been released:

http://bit.ly/LIyKBW

Kazube's tablet is smoking and might catch fire - Kazube is working on several designs (and already completed drake cloaks). One of those should spawn a poll on our FB profile this week.

Whenever it is possible I'm trying to finish some tech gear - and the 1st one is almost complete.

Elotsip has sent me a couple of projects he has been working on after I encouraged him to have a try with CAD design. I've liked them to the point we'll release them .
Heck, it's great to see that the work he has put to learn howto use the software is paying off.

As promised here's a quick sneak pic from my workdesk showing WIP of the thunderstorm turret I'm working on :

Shiny.

It needs spikes!

I'm so glad that I saw this before shopping for other large missile launcher options. How large is this, exactly?

Thats great but what about the gothic tank and the cloaks ? when will we be seeing them to buy

One of those sonic helmets looks vaguely familiar.

LOL - on the other hand we had a laugh when we linked the one on the right with this .

Lone Dirty Dog - this should answer one of your questions:


http://bit.ly/PjcIar

As for KV2 - as mentioned on the FB post it will take months before it will be finished. But I want to share how it is turning out and show you the workflow with this piece. So expect updates


On a side note - several posts out there regarding Thunderstorm Turret (for example Ruyn's) got me thinking. I intended it to be a small defence platform or a turret attached to infantry soldier back/top . But it seems that making it larger (a lot larger!) may be a good idea too. What do you think? Would you find use for a bigger version (especially since we have AA turret in the offer)?

Wow, those cloaks are great!

Your site always baffles me, though. I need cloaks, and also sniper rifles and a techmarine-like arm and/or backpack. Do you have anything like that?

A scale shot with the cloaks next to a 28mm miniature would also be really helpful!

Thank you

Those cloaks are awesome!

Found the sniper rifles (here)

Why hello there!

I've just added those to the webstore:
http://bit.ly/PXXPJZ


In a middle of training and modelling somewhat different stuff (hairdryer ) I've finished thunderstorm turret. Should be able to upload pics in a day or two .

Kazube finished working on Chaos Shields:


Elotsip first CAD models are almost ready to get them printed.

So all in all - things are even crazier (and more busy) out here but in a good way (at least for a majority of things) .

Loving those shields how long before release

those sheilds are AWSOME!

Amazing shields (but we need a couple of more designs)...
... and now I have to start a fantasy Chaos army

SWEET JUMPING JESUS ON A POGOSTICK...

Those shields are astounding.

not a fan of the Plague champions - not really my style, but those shields are incredible, I just hope they can retain something of that level of detail in production

@Charax: I wouldn't worry about that. In fact I'm looking at the set in resin and on painted version that lay on my desk atm .

Oh man those shields! I had no idea such detail could be made with CAD, great job!

Not a fan of the plague champion heads but the Sheilds are amazing. Loving those.

It seems like these may have slipped under the radar. Fantastic looking.

Hot damn those look awesome!

Those shields are sooooo nice. I really hope Chaos can use some shields in the new codex..

Wow you guys are seriously getting the hang of this digital sculpting!!

For the shields can I suggest a larger "scribor sized" version so we can get all that delicious detail?

If those heads can actually keep that detail.... They will be amazing.

^ agreed if they come out like that i am definatly buying a set at least

I am buying 3 sets at least

The Generic heads look prety slick. I can see people realy enjoying them.

Those heads are fantastic... if the casts live up to the CAD... I'm in.

Yes, smacked in the face with las but, the potential for this set is astounding, this market needs more characterful heads like these.

Maybe we could see some different races heads soon as well, I have an idea for some cool looking heads

This project proves to be lots of fun - customizing those basic shapes springs tons of new ideas.
We've been thinking about possible variants (different equipment etc) of those heads:


We're running poll on our FB account that will decide which variant will come out first .

Really, really digging those boonies!

VOTE YOU BASTARDS VOTE!

Wow. Just wow.
First - I immensely dislike the plague bearer heads. They just look too goofy for my tastes. I mean, there's absolutely noticeable SKILL in their creation... I just don't care for them.

Those shields, though? AMAZING.
If the new Chaos 40K book has ANY reason to put shields (TH/SS style) on Chaos Terminators, you can guarantee that I'll be buying at least enough for a 10 man squad. Wow.

I like the bald heads, too. They'd look great on some Chaos Cultists, as would many of the variants you posted.

Some VERY nice work on this page, so far.

OMG I have just passed out from sheer joy, those heads are so friggin awesome I WANT THEM ALL KNOW !!!!!!!!!

I dont do FB so pleas vote once for me on the hated heads

I will have a couple of each please! That is seriously good sculpting though, every little line is to the right scale and just perfect!

Przemas wrote:

if these get ODST Trooper style, Arms, Chests and Heads, I will be very hard pressed not to get some. these are just plain cool, keep up the good work MaxMini.

Boonies!!!

I was just thinking I needed a larger selection of bald heads. Adding in the boonies and forage caps makes it awesome. How about a knit watch cap?

I was also thinking that some younger looking faces would be awesome. Burly, grizzled dudes are awesome, but having bald heads with faces that were less grizzled looking would be cool. I've been trying to find younger looking faces for my SM scouts, and basically all of the heads I am finding are lantern jawed scarred up dudes. Fresh faced cherries is what I'm looking for.

Take those heads, mate them to Catachan bodies, remove the major objection I have to the Catachan plastics....

Valhallan42nd wrote:Take those heads, mate them to Catachan bodies, remove the major objection I have to the Catachan plastics....

Surely the arms are the worst thing about the catachans? But agreed, those heads all work perfectly!

Well I wouldn't mind sticking those heads on DG marines since I dont really like their helms

If I had money, I would like buy a bajillion of those plague heads and shields.

Przemas - any chance of MaxMini doing some not-Arbite/not-Judge Dredd helmet heads? With the new Judge Dredd movie on the horizon, they could potentially be popular.

As we have hinted at this on here all ready, how about some decent arms sets

Although I like all of the variant heads - I hope the *bald ones* will be released first, as I need them for my penal troopers.

And I second the pledge for also releasing the amazing chaotic shields in a slightly larger scale - utilizing one of the benefits with digital sculpting.
The ornaments on the bigger shields (together with the smaller ones) would be absolutely perfect for pimping chaotic vehicles and flyers!

It'd also be cool to see some heads with a wider range of facial details - the vast majority of faces tend towards caucasian. I like that there's some diversity I'm this batch, but it would be great to see a wide range of heads. Asiatic, North African/Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, North and South American indigenous.

Spoiler:

Kinda reminds me of Riddick. That being said, the whole range of bald heads done with the goggles would make for some great Delaques for Necromunda.

You should probably release a full sprue of bald heads first and then pretty much the rest of them and maybe even other varients. They look like amazing heads, and even with the detail loss that shrinking them will inevitably cause, they look like they'll be some of the coolest on the market. I figure once you have the base models down, it would be a breeze to make other varients, and I've heard that mold making for resin is pretty cheap, so it wouldn't be hard to make your money back on them even if alot of varients are released.

I utterly love those shields but saddly not a big fan of the plague heads as they are a little overbearing for my personal tastes.

Chaos shields have been released:

http://bit.ly/NCqfGf

I'm kinda proud as it shows the quality we can achieve with the methods we've been delving for a past couple of months .

Can't wait to see how the voting for the heads will end. I'll leave it open till Wednesday . So far goggles have taken the lead .

They certainly kept the detail very well! Now, what can I use them for...

Wonderful.

Two questions.
1) Will buyers be able to pick and choose which ones they want as part of their order? Like, maybe a Nurgle player who might only want the Chtulhu looking one?

2) Do you have a plan for matching hammers? Once the new Chaos dex comes out, if Terminators have a TH/SS type option, I could see a LOT of use for those.

Man, those heads will be perfect for my guard vets. Can't wait.

I received my first MaxMini order today, and all I can say is wow. Fast delivery, a week from Poland - UK, not too shabby at all!
I got the Mecha egyptian heads, and I requested 10 of the human face with the egyptian beard and third eye type thing (navigator psyker battle squad anyone?) And not only did they deliver just that, I also got extras! One more of those heads, 2 of the Angry-heads and one of the jackal heads. 14 heads for the price of 10. All perfect casts with amazing levels of detail.

Keep up the good work guys, I will be ordering more very very soon.

@SlaveToDorkness: It hasn't . We sold a couple of prerelease models during Salute. Modelmnaker who worked on those had to leave modelling for the tiem being and so far noone picked this project up.

Tomorrow I'll look for the head varaint poll results .
Kazube finished putting those together while I prepared all the parts for thunderstorm turret.
Here's a quick pic showing it assembled as a remote turret and as a backpack addon, closely followed by a preview of the actual sprue:

Now see, that is simply genius having it be a two-in-one!

I've just found the Havoc Launchers!

Given the Forgeworld update to Hyperios turrets it's a good time to release that little number.

What size will these be? Something that fits on heavily armoured super warriors of the far future, or will they fit on your average APC-type vehicle?

Either way, I am sure I can find many uses for them!

Charax wrote:I've just found the Havoc Launchers!

Exact same thought.


My chaos Contemptor conversion has been sitting waiting for the right launcher, and this is it!

Will you be releasing all these heads eventually Its just I really want at least one of each head shown so far

^ agreed

Those chaos shields are quite breathtaking. For the obsessive-compulsive among us who can't bear repetition in their armies, will you be releasing more to go with them? (another 6 would give 10 alternatives).

Well Poopsicles!

Now I must see about kitbashing one more Grot Tank for my Orks then. I think I'll still get the bigger one for a Looted Wagon.

Echo the poopsicles comment, would have made a great grot tank!

I errrrrrrr third it poopsicle as well

Poopsicles for ALL!

Anxiously awaiting for a "chaotically armored combatants" rulebook to drop to see if I can use those shields.

Fingers are crossed!

Set of riot shields and mauls Elotsip did for us sparked an idea to make a whole set for Space Police. Here's what Kazube has cooked up


And to show you quality we can achieve with the current methods:

....You guys are awesome!

I am lost for words, now pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee produce all those other heads, I will let you marry my sisters

They are really nice....

I AM THE LAW

That's very impressive...

Holy Cow :

My Arbites are marching closer back to my paint table now....

I can feel myself making RoboCop verrrrry soon!

Holy crap these are perfect for a necromunda thing ive got coming up soon. Any word on release dates?

That fourth riot head is just brilliant. Combining those with some spare scouts could result in some ace results.

Yay, Space Police! Judge, jury, and executioner.

Those heads are awesome!

Slightly too 'Jawesome' imo, but holy crap other than that very subjective comment, totally awesome! Great job as always Prezmas-

Nice looking space police...how about some bodies, arms, & legs to go with what your already got? Would be nice to be able to build some minis without needing GW parts.

THough I do have enough spare SM parts kicking around to build at least 8-10 space police with your parts...

Make these whole modles, and you've got some ace modles on your hands!

Not quite as cool as the original GW Adeptus Arbites - but will become nice pilots on my AA flyers.

>Combining those with some spare scouts could result in some ace results.

Yes, absolutely.
Scouts make really good bases for AA conversions:

Lockark wrote:Make these whole modles, and you've got some ace modles on your hands!

Agreed here and with Mad4Minis!

They already do some combat armour torsos and legs which will probably combine with these pretty well.

@Mad4Minis: sockwithaticket is right - we already have legs and torsos. The only thing missing atm are arms. But existing pieces should work well with other manufacturers ones. Well, and I also admit we'll have to work on arms at some point (sooner than later ) .

@Vitruvian XVII : safe estimate would be around a month. I need to make sure all works and build some stock levels.

In a meantime I've released a personal work of joy - Thunderstorm Turret:


http://bit.ly/T4uEDY

Ahhhh.... my precious.... . Heck, can't wait to sculpt another piece (when the time will permit). Designing and building this one was fun!

Wow - the stuff maxmini are producing at the minute is just amazing! Expect a big space police order when they come out. Just a few more leg poses (combat armour) and a range of arms wouldn't go a miss (not glamourous - but like one-stop shopping!).

I love the 'jawness' of these guys.
