I like the sculpts a lot. I've got a text file of Maxmini stuff I want to order, and I'm planning on pulling the trigger when the dogs are up, presuming no mishaps.

I know they are scantily clad, but ehh. so are Catachans, technically.

I hope they scale well with Raging Hero's stuff, since I'm pretty excited about that as well.

Honestly, I think they're actually wearing a bit more than the Catachans. I kind of like the girl on the left more, but I'm not sure if I like her enough to actually order them. Now, the dogs and the KV-2? Oh definitely.

The dogs and the KV-2 are astounding. Those really tempt me.

I've just uploaded a mini-review to my blog of some of the stuff I got from my last Maxmini order. Two types of their Egyptian heads, which Ill be using for my Thousand Sons (one day). Great clean casts as always.

Aha! I've been waiting for someone to post some photos of these is use. Can't wait to see them painted up.

Yeah the heads are amazing! Used one of my own ones for a jetbike rider...

I've seen that Jetbike before, I'm sure - which one is that?

Thanks!

Those do indeed look very clean. Thanks for sharing. Good to see what I can expect when I make my next order from them.

Added another mini-review to my blog of some more Maxmini stuff from my last order. A few more types of head(s) this time.

Any news on when we'll see the small junker you posted a while ago:

Yes, I've been wanting those for some time now.

@Regnak : no promises but I think I found a way to revive this project .

Necrohounds have just been unleashed:

http://bit.ly/18ONeYA

No idea what I would use them for but I probably will still have to buy them

I am soooooo buying these! I can sense some spawn coming on!!! they look really good too! and with my experience of MaxMini they should be exellent quality :-)

Holy ! Those are awesome and I must have some, as soon as those greatcoat arms come out I'm placing an order.

Now that You put on the market such great models, I would do a couple of "normal" dogs that are missing around.
You have already a wonderful base to start from.

Any chance of The War Store getting any of these in?

Emphasis mine. Sentiment is definitely shared. Please do some normal dogs.

~Eric

I too would like to express interest in having some normal dogs. Maybe even a variety of breeds? (One can hope)

rhodry wrote:

As pets for Leutenant Kotzen or Doktor von X from the Raging Heroes kickstarter of course

Nice paint job as well they do look rather sweet LOL, will buy a set of these even just for fun

I would also like a set of normal dogs as well a mix of breeds would be cool.

THAT is how you do cyber-dogs! Hear that Mantic? Nobody wants this crap. If I find the Marauders from Deadzone are salvagable, the Maxmini ones will replace those terrible chainsawmouth dogs!

Wait...Mantic makes models that aren't crap?!

Those Necrohounds are gorgeous. I will certainy be acquiring some.

Those look fantastic, as always. Now I need to buy some and review them.

- glad you like those .

Next week we should have first jungle guerilla chicks ready for release - even though there are crazy times out here. In addition to my regular duties atm I'm also builder and websire developer . Heck , but I can't wait moving to new location.

BTW - even though the orders are being sent as usual I'm slightly behind with updating the database. Thought I'd let you know - all is ok. Even though some of the orders still have "processing" status in the web panel it should be "shipped" instead .

Greatcoat arms added to the webstore:

http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=211

Inspired us to work on some new weapons that would work with the whole graetcoat range and ww2 german heads (well and soem sci-fi german as well ) .

Also there's a new vehicle add-on in the pipeline:

Sold! Will the compatible heads come with gas masks? (I hate painting skin!)

OK a small package arrived this morning Thanks Przemas inside was couple of things the new Great coat arms and the Necrohounds.


Well, I have to go to work shortly but felt I should do a quick shot of the arms, was going to take a picture of the hounds but the metal was reflecting to much to show the detail.

I will say they are great looking models and will have some great uses, also they are quite big and imposing

Now for the arms I just quickly tacked these together to get a general feel to them, I have to say they line up nicely with the intended torso but am sure they will work well with others.

So here are the pics sorry no head but I was in a rush

Glad to see that package reached you mate .

Time to do one of the last updates in our current web page with a bang - Jungle Guerilla Chicks have stormed the barricades:

http://bit.ly/12XycRI

First kit consist of 2 heriones - Jane and Anne. Soon to be followed by a trusty squad .....

Any word on that gothic KV tank?

Also on that note, an alternate turret or three for that tank would be great.

I like them girls, they'll be ideal for a future Necromunda campaign. Will there be more jungle fighters or just these two?

Expect more . Those 2 should have a nice squad of followers to lead .

Oh yes, looks like the Eschers are back in business!

Looking good. I'll be waiting to see a few more of them and will then get some girls and dogs for my next order.

@Mad4Minis : we're moulding this one now. A true beast to do right - expect it mid summer .

@Azazelx: the remaining squad members should arrive around 2 months from now on - the sculpts are not ready yet, but I have my fingers crossed

Dam they look amazing can I have this painted set I so hope you expand this range these are some of the coolest looking miniatures around.

I always wanted to build a decent looking girl gang but most minis on the market either sucked or had really odd posing But these have neither of those issues

I dont care what some people say but in this case "chest is best " Great work Maxmini People

Thanks Przemas. Just one request - please make the weapons more modern/updated. Using 1980's M16A2 just looks very odd to my eyes.

Wow, $15 USD for only 2?

They look okay but way overpriced.

By modern standards, 15 for 2 is a steal. This isn't 1985.

Those arms look fine... mostly.

My only comment is that I can't put my arm in that position. I had my wife try too (she was mostly patient about it, heh). The only way either of us can get our hand horizontal like that is to put our elbow against our body. I cannot get my hand flat with my elbow out away from my body. I'm thinking that the only way a person can actually get an arm in that position is if it is broken.

Otherwise the arms look great.

I shall most definitely be buying some of those fine women to create a gang of Eschers! love the look of them and I can see how much fun they will be to paint up! I take it they are resin casts?

Standard AR pattern. Still available and in use by US military. I have one in my bedroom
Fixed furniture and no optics is not very Hollywood, but certainly not uncommon.

To be fair I think it is my poor picture quality it's the top pic that is making it look slightly odd

If you stand in front of a mirror and pose ( this is sounding weird all ready ) and think of the weight issue of the weapon as well it looks right …. Trust me.

I will take a picture with a weapon added this weekend, this should explain it more clearly

I don't recall if it was addressed, but are the girls resin or metal? Also, are the guns separate parts? If so, that'd be a good excuse to cross sell some of those alternate weapons you guys make.

I think they're both resin.

white metal - good point, I'll add that to description.

@Barzam - guns are not separate. I wanted to keep number of parts as low as possible, so assembling wouldn't be a pain.
The first model is signgle piece, the 2nd ("running") has is two piece (arm section as a seprate item).
ATM I'm thinking about making the regular squad members more customizable, with separate heads and maybe weapons - what do you think?

@lone dirty dog: got to admit current webstore pic of the arms do not help much either .

It's tricky to make a photo of those when they are not glued to the model.
But when we build a couple of test "greatcoat" models with all the parts they looked really good - check the "Germans" on the previous page.

I don't follow Hollywood, I get my military info from the Vets and Active service personnel over on OSW and from places like militaryphotos.net. I understand that the A2 is still used, but the A4 (or M4/416/etc) are far more ubiquitous these days.

Yes, to be honest they look better in your hand than any pictures, plus when you try to take a pic to show all the detail it kind of throws everything else of.

Were you working on another set of arms or did I just dream that

I'd love see the option for the girls having the ability to hold your shotguns, heavy machine gun and sniper rifle you guys got on sale.

Don't forget "Winchester Palin"

In a meantime we've been working on biker orcs:


Vrrooommm! Almost ready to be released

Biker Orks heads are brilliant! lovely looking sculpts! shame the jungle girls are metal :-( I really wanted them to be resin, if it happens in the future I'll jump on them (sounds wrong!) likewise if i ever start orks I'm set for conversion bits just through you guys!

Just love those...

Awesome, thanks for keeping the options in mind at the very least. Getting a Necromunda campaign going just got a whole lot more attractive!

Fantastic sculpts. The one on the far right with his tongue poking out looks like he should be diligently writing out math equations on a blackboard. Some how i don't think the word equation is known to orks...

Hey Przemas, have you guys ever thought about doing some characterful grot heads? There are so many places to put grot models in an ork army a having a variety of heads that have been given the MaxMint treatment would be wonderful!

Firstly great paint jobs on those heads and yes very happy gathering another list of to buy, you are going to cost me a pretty penny here mate

We dont want ideas we want minis now get to it

Great job guys

Got my jungle honeys today, looking great, excellent quality metals, nice and sturdy. Only minor point is that Jane's (or is it Anne's?) knife was snapped off or something, it wasn't present. No biggie, I'll give her a machete instead, but just wanted to point that out.

@BrookM: glad you like the models .
Sorry to hear about the chipped blade - drop me a line and I'll work out a replacement. Damn, one of the reasons we switched with some of the items to metal was to avoid model damages.

No man, thanks but that won't be necessary! It's what, a few mm's of metal missing? I'm not going to be fussy about that at all.

It's like Calvin's dad always says when he makes Calvin mow the lawn or shovel snow... "It builds character." We'll her it just gives character!

@BrookM: thx - check your pm

On a side note - here's result of what happens when we begin looking for a proper weapon for our greatcoat set. Mati assembled exisiting pieces and I began scratching my head. Then I sat with Kuba to do some modelling. It started with classic FG42 and went there:


Now we need to tweak it slightly so it will work in miniature scale .

I like that a lot. If you can make it fit IG arms (or include arms that fit an IG torso, I'm sure a lot of gamers would like to buy a few hundred

Maxmini could use a few spare arm types. Some armored ones to match those Guard legs would be pretty nice.

That rifle is a thing of beauty, I shall call it Vera

Arrrrmmmmmmmssssssss

Greatcoat arms are already here , combat armour arms will follow up soon (I should be able to do the reprints around the end of the coming week)...

The space cops are precisely why I asked about armored arms.

Looks great however, the barrel needs to be moved down a little. The barrel isn't in line with the receiver and you can see the rails that the sights are on don't line up either.

@SickSix - will check it out - but IMO it might look like it because render is in perspective view. I can't recall such issues on the model.

@Lone Dirty Dog: I think you're going to like it :

I think I just might

.

In a meantime we've finished and released Missile Turret:

http://bit.ly/17fY09g

Looks nice, hard to tell what the scale is.

love it

how big is the base will it fit a rhino top hatch?

The launcher box is lovely, but the arms and base are comparatively simple. And would it be possible to add missile noses to slot in the launch tubes?

Scaled up some, it would make a great apoc missile launcher for people doing scratchbuild titans.

rockgod2304 wrote:

I was wondering exactly the same thing

On the site it says -

Missile Turret

€15.00

This set contains one multipart missile turret designed to fit vehicles/terrain for 28mm "heroic" miniatures.

-

I'm guessing from the price its tank size.

Looks to me as if it'd go on the back of a chimera.
Hmmm, maybe my Valhallans need some missile totting vehicles.


Regards,
Howie.

It looks nice. I wonder if it will be able to replace the turret on the upcoming KV-2?

 Barzam wrote:

You might to be on to something there.

From the styling it looks a bit like a not-exorcist turret to me

@rockgod: the base plate has around 39x50mm, so I think it may work for you .

@Barzam: got to admit I haven't thought about that - will have to check how it would look

Since we've launched new website I'm slowly digging myself out ...

To celebrate the launch we've prepared a promo for this week - 5 % off ( for those that visited us during the weekend that was 15%off ) .

Also we have new weapon set out:
http://t.co/7yXoptEJBQ


More on it here .

very happy with all this ... even though a tad sleepy atm ...

Przemas, do you think we might see some Space Elf themed bits in the near future? The market seems to be severely lacking in that regard.

@Barzam - if we come up with some fresh design they'll land on our desk for sure. I think that the theme is very specific, it will be difficult to make something that would play along Jes Goodwin's designs without copying them - and that's something I don't want to do. I do my best to ensure that you find some fresh ideas in our models .

For those wandering how our workshop looks here's a quick walkaround :
http://bit.ly/1cPT9zv

Hey Przemas - love those guns and would have *almost* bought them along with your pretty siege gun I just ordered - but what would go really nicely with those alternative weapons would be some more alternative arm sets in addition to the greatcoat ones. Maybe some with rolled-up sleeves or partially armoured ones. Or simply bare ones that are not as grotesquely overmuscled as the Catachans...

Anything planned in that direction?

@Bomster: yes, we will have combat armour arms in a future.

You know thats just teasing right , showing the tank in the background and the mould for those Ork bikers

Plus you lot don't seem to be doing much in the way of work, also you look to dam happy it's not right for the work place, happiness slows productivity.


Can I come and work for you

... if you promise to spend your income on more of our goodness we have a deal .

Yeah, I know I'm a bastard with the teasers ...

 lone dirty dog wrote:

nah, that's the Kacper smiling - I was dead serious when I've been wandering through the workshop

I will hold you to that I guess I get staff discount mind

Dead serious hmmmmm with all that cool stuff around I believe it would be impossible not to smile

Has any body bought a missile turret yet? I'd like to see how big they are on a chimera and I'd like to have to be able to do it without shelling out first

Kind regards,
Howie.
