Me too! although if I may make a suggestion, I think you should gs on an artistic and smooth leading edge (the area where the arm bones would be) in similar style to the BA packs. The square girder look is a bit too steam-punkie for me atm. Also missing the 2 mini boosters on the sides if you know what I mean?
Overall though, I am seriously thinking about picking a few up and making the changes myself down the line.
Nice stuff!

Nice work. Love the wings and the finished claws. Do agree that the wings could do with a little softening tho. Cant wait to se some more.
14765
Post by: paulson games
I definately get the softened edge idea, it's something I'd considered when making the piece but I wanted to make an intentional break from the style of the stock wings. I don't want to get too close to the GW design due to IP issues, plus I figured an old pre-heresey theme would be a bit clunkier than the more modern stuff.
For a smoother look it shouldn't be too hard to pop off the joint cogs and round the leading edges down. The other trick is that being resin the wings can be bent by soaking it in hot water so they can be given a nice graceful curl. Once I get the final pieces cast I'll post some examples with curled wings.
I may still do a large wing set of the same design for monster sized models, or to represent a libby dread using wings of sanguinius.

Just to note, I got my boneswords and lashwhips yesterday and so far I'm very happy with the swords. Haven't taken the whips out of the box yet.
I'll be using them on a forgeworld Hive Tyrant soon, I'll post pics here once I've got everything painted up.
14765
Post by: paulson games
Here's a shot of the first cast, very happy with how it came out and it's only had a very minimal amount clean up so this is pretty much the detail straight from the molds. I'll get some more shots once everything is cleaned up and pinned instead of being held together with sticky tac.

Post by: paulson games
Ok Guys, normally I post up bits but I've been aiming to also produce full models for a while. Here's some WIP shots of the current project, a monsterous riding wolf stand in models for 40k thunderwolves or giant wolves for fantasy battles.
These aren't my personal work, but are comissioned sculpts I'll be producing.
They are sculpted in Fimo. They are about 80& done, still need to get saddles and have some of the details cleaned up a bit. 3 differant bodies and 3 interchangeable heads so that'd allow for 9 differant poses. They will also have two legs sets, a power armor set and an ork rider set.
When finished they'll be cast in resin, and hopefully they'll be available sometime around the end of the month.
More shots on my worklog on resin addict:

That's not to say the rest aren't amazing... as those are probably the best looking lash whips & boneswords I've seen yet.
Wolves also look good!

Don't mistake me, they are wicked! Just not the style for the BA I am building up, where I took their 'unless you clean the chapter toilets you wear artificier armor of some kind' fluff to heart lol 
Frankly it is quite likely that I will order a few anyways and gs the details I want myself anyways, the symetry and proportion of the feathers, the turbine and the fact that it is in resin make them very attractive. I also think the boneswords are very effective.
The thing I like best about Paulson's stuff is that he doesn't try to re-invent the wheel and put a spin on his sculpts just for the sake of putting his stamp on them. His boneswords are exactly what I would expect/want were I looking for them, as opposed to say Navarro's Chapterhouse versions which deviated from expectations so much that they are in the love'em or hate'em category. On top of that, the tight sculpting, thoughtful strategy of attaching them to existing models and pricing make his stuff a serious win overall.
And btw, those wolves are AWESOME!

Post by: ghosty
How much is the price range for the wolves? cos im guessing it'll be ver. expensive.
14765
Post by: paulson games
I'm estimating $20 per wolf, I won't have a final figure until I know the exact vlumes of resin and silicon it uses. When I have the final casts ready I'll place all the info on my site. It's not cheap but still much better than buying GW models that need to be converted.
Just about the final update, everything is 99% done, all that's left is to add a small set of stirrups to PA legs and the parts will be off to casting. Provide there's no hidden setbacks it's looking like these are going to be ready by the end of the month.
These are the optional orks legs:

Post by: wyomingfox
Very nice sculpts, my only suggestion would be to provide the larger 60mm bases that Canis came with.
8742
Post by: MeanGreenStompa
No chance of an open mouthed head then? Also, are all body halves interchangeable or is it the three options only?
14765
Post by: paulson games
The body halves can be switched around but it's not a perfect fit and would require a decent amount of greenstuff work mostly on the rear legs as the torsos vary slightly in length. The heads however are fully interchangeable without any work needed.
Went with snarling mouths for ease of casting, an open mouth would have required constructing the lower jaw as a seperate piece and the model is already part intensive. I am going to look at the plausibility of doing additional heads and cybernetic attachments but it won't be for a couple months. It'll also depend on the sculptors interest level. It's on the table as likely but can't promise 100%.
I could potentially change the base size but it'd likely push the cost up, I'm trying to keep them in the $20 range. Larger bases also effect the shipping costs as a solid resin dreadnought size base is several extra ounces of weight and about 3 times the resin volume.
8742
Post by: MeanGreenStompa
Sounds great.
Not fussed for bases though. Easy enough to order right size bases from bits companies.
Was just musing that a howling or roaring wolf could represent an obvious alpha.

Here's a WIP shot of a more standard jump pack I'm working on, recycled the engine piece from my original winged jet pack and added extra engines to give it a more powerful feel. I'll be adding the rivets where the black dots are, after that it should be ready to cast.
The molds for the power scythes are just about done and they should be posted up on my site early next week.

Here's a few nids parts my buddy sculpted up.
I would like to get some feedback on these and see if there's any changes I need to make before casting these.
Laship:
Tendril head:
I'm cusrious about the head size, does it look slightly too small on the stealer body?
Any thoughts about the angle of the tendrils?
The exposed brain, good idea? or prefer the head covered in carapace?

Post by: Young_Logan
Interesting thing you got there with the tendrils; looks slightly like a SOB from the wrong angle, i would put carapace over the top but not the sides or vica versa as its like you dont want him shot in the brain but you cant shoot it all

Post by: king88mob
not sure i like the exposed brain, though I'm now almost bummed that i bought the older style chicken-feet lashwhips, I like the new one much better.
Overall, what's the ETA on those?
14765
Post by: paulson games
Here's pics of the whip on a warrior for scale, wanted to get it posted earlier by my camera battery crapped out on me and needed to recharge. If the resin is heated in hot water The whip can be bent into more extreme angles than what I have pictured. As long as the test casts go well I should probably have the new lashwhips up in about two weeks, heads will be mid to late july as I plan on having a set of 5 unique heads.
One of the big debates I have going on in my head is resin vs metal debate, I prefer resin for the modelling but but metal has a nice durability to it. Metal parts can be kinda weighty if being added to plastic miniatures, guants and genestealers are front heavy as is and metal will usually make them more prone to tipping. From a manufacturing standpoint metal lets me recelye a lot of the waste, I throw out tons of resin sprue material, with metal I could recycle sprues. I've considered making the bits available in both materials that way people can buy whichever version they prefer.

Post by: RiTides
Wow, such great stuff!
A few thoughts:
-The genestealer heads seem to be at the wrong angle... will they be able to point straight, and not stare down at their toes?
-The last whip is really cool, I didn't realize you could bend it
-For the wolves, the tails remind me of the fantasy tails on the old high elf silver helm horses... would it be possible to do another tail pose? Or can those be bent as well? With everything else being interchangeable, it'd be nice to have another (possibly smaller / not sticking out as far, although that may be the sticky tack) tail option.
Wicked stuff all around

Post by: TempusCorvus
The whip is good, although it looks a bit too flimsy when it's all straightened out.
The head looks odd to me, maybe if you made it a bit clearer that the exposed brain was still part of the head. Right now, it just looks like the head portion was glued onto the brain, rather than the brain actually being inside the skull somehow.
I love the Jump pack, although the exhaust ports over the shoulders still look too much like the normal one. Not sure if it's supposed to be pre heresy or anything, but something a little closer to the arched vents on the Chaos Raptors' jump packs. Just a thought.
22687
Post by: MajorTom11
Epic lashwhips dude... Ymgarl head I like a lot, although Ritides is right, hope it can sit well looking up. I think they are wicked, but you may also catch some flack for the no 5 plates on the forehead from die hards.

Post by: wyomingfox
Personally, I think the lash whip is too large/bulky for the warrior and would be more appropriate for the Tyrant. A lash whip roughly 1/2 that bulk would seam more anatomical.
Otherwise I do like the design.

Post by: catharsix
my two cents about this stuff:
-feeder tentacle Genestealer head: front is awesome, back is terrible.
-Libby Dread: AWESOME. one question though: will these be sold? and would they be as a buy-the-whole-thing pack? (i'm not 100% sold on every piece)
-wolves: not bad at all. and adding the legs as part is brilliant.
-3-engine jumpack: also awesome. almost makes me want to start a SM force heavy on the assault marines. between this stuff and the newly released BA stuff...
keep up the good work!

Post by: paulson games
The husky bit cracked me up, should paint one to look like yours as anyone who's married knows the wife is always right
The libby dread parts will be made add ons to the plastic kit that way you can pick and choose what you want to add. The only single piece is the front and top of the torso, the rest are all just stick on bits.
The jet pack and power scythe are done and will be added to the site as soon as I get caught up with the wolves.
Here's a shot of each of the final casts minus the saddles which are currently casting.
Once those are done I should have an update shortly with the riders added. They are posted up on my website now.

Hey guys, I've been really sick the last week and also trying to keep up on the wolf orders at the same time, been kinda hetic and mostly miserable.
I'm hoping to have the dread parts ready to go in about two weeks, same with the power scythe and jump packs, the plan is to have a very busy august with those releases. I may have to hold off listing them until the monday after gencon as it'd be too messy to let orders pile up while I'm out of town for the con.
Also just as a heads up to anyone that picked up the wolves, the inital batch of saddles came out messed up, I had to scrap them and recast the entire batch which caused them to ship 3 days late. I tried to make sure all of the casts were good before they left, but just in case any of the bad ones managed to sneak out shoot me an email and I'll make sure you get a replacement set.

Post by: paulson games
After almost a month of casting I have a small pile of wolves that are slightly miscast, they are functional but have minor bubble defects that need a bit of loving care with the green stuff. They're nowhere near bad enough to throw out, but not quite to the quality standard I want for the regular wolves. None of them have any major flaws just small air holes usually on the backs of the leg, stomach, or the rider legs that don't effect the over all piece just minor cosmetic dings that can be fixed.
I'm thinking about listing them up as "budget wolves" which would be about half price, that way if you are on a tight budget and don't mind doing a bit of extra clean up on the models you can save some decent cash. Their availability will of course be dependant on the numbers of useable casts. Any casts with a major defect I toss and I only salvage the ones that are able to be fixed easily.
They should be going up next week.
Also now that I'm back to feeling normal I'm currently at work on the Ork/Orc rider legs and they should be going up along with the budget wolves.

I think the resin might have bowed slightly as I pulled them out a bit early and they were still pretty soft, didn't notice it until after I'd taken the pics. I'll need to straighten them a dip in hot water.

Let me join everyone else who's chimed in requesting a date by which I can throw money at you for that Dread conversion kit!
Let me also throw out a request for a bits set I've yet to see any of the "after market" folks (Maxmini, MAS, Chapterhouse, Paulson, Scibor, etc...) make... I'd love to see a set of hands (compatible, natch, with existing models in powered armor) in various poses. In particular, in Steve Ditko-esque "spell casting" positions for both left and right hands. But also, perhaps, holding different pieces of equipment and/or useable for existing parts, but in different poses.
Valete,

How about some female guardsmen? It'd actually make the game more interesting, and I'm sure that if I walked into a GW filled with 12-14 year olds with a squad or two of female catachan squads my army would draw some eyes..

Go for it! There are supposed to be loads of Regiments with women warriors, but the only models we can use are the House Escher ones from Necromunda, and they all look like they've got a pole rammed up their arse....

It was actually a request/idea for Paulson games to do!  Me? Use greenstuff? Unheard of. 
'Sides, if someone actually DOES sculpt a half-decent frame/box set for female Guardsmen (or guardswomen?) then we'll finally have a reason for Penal Legions to exist.
Another idea.. street thug-guardsmen (penal legionnaires..). That'd be a great set for conversion if GW made it (and well). Eh, not much point hoping. Unless everyone on Dakka emails Jervis Johnson demanding female guardswomen and penal-thug-men-guards.

The easy fix for the guard is make carapace armor you don't need loads of them as to female guard you don't need to do the whole figure just the head the armor covers the soft bits so that doesn't need to be modeled.
14765
Post by: paulson games
I'm not entirely sure about that, maybe the stock legs would be doable, but the big meaty man hands on the stock plastics would not fit a female model well. Basically you'd need to do bits for the entire upper body, at that point may as well just do an entire model from scratch.
The psyker dread parts fit the venerable body, it can work on an ironclad but it'll take some modification to the lower part of the torso where the sarcoghagus is as the dreads both have a slightly differant edge design. You'll also need a right arm to attach the combat weapon to, so you'll need to do some conversion work on an ironclad if you want to build it from a single kit. Or you'll need an right arm from an iron clad along with the venerable kit. Kind of a pain but there is just no way I can cast a dread arm for the kit without IP issues.
25727
Post by: Darkvoidof40k
Was about to say that, sonofruss.
Heads (some without helmets) + the torso is all that would be needed. I can understand you not wanting to invest in this project without lots of people actually wanting to buy it, but I think it'd work.
I don't know about the costs of what it'd be to cast or whatever, but £8-£12 for 5 heads + torsos seems reasonable.
The only downside for me is that you're an american based company, so the shipping costs just mean it'd be silly money (no offense, it's all fair, just for a 13 year old kid it's hard to afford). But that Libby dread.. might get that .
Oh, and those BFG ships are beautiful!

Not any bits, just some conversion work I thought I'd share.
I have a game coming up next week that I wanted to test out some shrikes in. That of course meant a trip to my bits box and here's the first couple models I pumped out, will need to do at least 6 more for a full squad, not cheap models as they use a bunch of parts but I love the way they look.
Decided to shorten the venom cannon as it looked way too bulky to be on a flying model and ditched the hooved warrior legs as they looked really bulky. The smaller legs I felt would be more bird like and proportional to the body mass which needs tobe light to help flight. The neck is also elongated to help picth the head more upwards and in line withthe body so they appear like they are looking ahead rather than down.
will be adding greenstuff work in the next day or so.

Sorry about the lag guys, been kinda busy.
The jump packs will be done in the near future, decided they need a few more changes as the lower part of the pack was looking pretty bland, I'm adding some cables and bulking it up a bit so it doesn't look quite as rediculously top-heavy.
The zeus ships I decided to pull from production, it was a tough call as I know it's very much in demand but myself and Zac (the ship's sculptor) agreed there's too many possible IP concerns on that one. For simular reasons the dread won't be happening, it's an awesome sculpt but there's no way to produce it without pissing off GW legal.
I've got a few things in the works alongside the jump packs and several new alien bits underway and some more robot goodness. Also working on some computer generated terrain so the drawing board is quite full and I'll get stuff posted up as it's finished.

You could just sell complete models on dakka using the trade board. Perhaps just leave the head and arms unattached and leave the torso off the legs so that buyers can position it how they want.
Infact, you'd get more money for it as you'd be selling whole models, not just the conversion kit. (Or you could just sell off conversion kits on Dakka anyway).

Pity... I'd been holding some reserve back to get one of the Libby Dreads. Perhaps you could offer the sculpt up to Chapterhouse if they'd be willing to take on GW's legal attack hounds? 'Course that's feeding the "competition". Still, not making that kit is a real shame. That's a definite sale lost...

I'd seen the armor cast ones, however the earlier experimentations on my tiles go back a good ways before I'd seen their tiles. The hirst arts molds and some of the older 3-d hulk boards were good inspiration sources. I'm not expecting it to be something that flies off the shelf, it's mainly a personal project that if I can see some return on then I'm content making the parts for sale as well.
Armor cast is producing them with hirst arts molds so there'd be nothing that'd prevent myself or any competitor from purchasing the same molds and producing kits identical to armor casts. With my own concept & rendition done in 3-d I can make my parts more unique.
The armor cast stuff is ok IMO, but I think a lot more can be done with the detail level and I also plan on having wall sections available which is something I don't think they offer. Just because one company might offer a simular product doesn't mean that it's area that shouldn't be covered especially if it can be done with a better sculpt option. That's why there's a good range of companies out there, each appealing to it's own share of fans who prefer differant sculpt styles.

Been working on a fleshy ogre-like abomination.
The peices showed up earlier today and needless to say I was blown away by the quality as usual, and this piece had me falling in love with all the muscle detail. The pics don't do it justice as the flesh color of the sculptie hides a lot from the camera so I'm hoping to have pics of the first casts up later this weekend. If all goes well they'll be up for pre-order before christmas.
Along with the tri-engine jet packs!!!!!! I have several more sculpts and bits in the works for Jan, and the test pieces for my 3-d terrain is due in any day now so it's going to be a very busy period over the next two months.
He's on a dreadnought sized base so he's pretty huge, the joints are all done ball joint style so his pose can be adjusted.

Hey just wanted to say I ordered a pack of thunderwolves from Paulson Games not too long ago and they are great!
Beautifully sculpted and very easy to build and add a Marine on top of. Easily one of the top contenders for thunderwolf models in the market currently.
The transaction was smooth and they were shipped relatively quickly!

Picked up some of his Tyrant sized Boneswords for a Swarmlord. Took a week to ship after I paid, but then they showed up in just a few days. Fair well covered in flash, but nothing that didn't clean up real quick and easy, and then they worked out great. I've now ordered two sets of the Warrior sized Boneswords.

The test cast went well, here are the pics
Size Compairison:
I wanted a stand in figure, I also wanted a nice generic look to use for any sort of big freaky frankenstein monster. I'm working on a dungeon crawl style game that'll go along with my tile set and use all sorts of alien and bio-monsters, which are always fun IMO
The model has a total of seven parts. There are ball joints at the elbows, wrist, neck and rib cage so there's a bit of range available in the pose.
It'll be priced at $25, however the pre-order price will be $20, so there's a price break if you get the orders in early. I'll be taking pre-orders until the 24th and they should be shipping out between the 27th-31st.
I'll be closed for vacation from the 1st-10th, any orders placed after the pre-order period will likely not ship until mid Jan.

Indeed! I've already pestered him in the other thread about making some giant power fist arms for it so i can use it for Warmachine Brute Thralls.

Post by: paulson games
Cross posted from the new & rumors thread:
Yes it definately has some hordes/WM appeal. We'll be working on some alternate hand sets for it but it'll be a little bit before they are done. The plans are to do a replacement forearm that'll let you replace one of the arms with a bio-gun aka spray weapon, and a couple diferant hand options with alternate claw designs.
If this does well on sales I'd like to do a second body sculpt so that units won't look quite as static, but peoples interest in the sculpt will make that and it'll likely be a few months down the road if/when it does happen.
A big smashy steam fist is a good option, although if you use this model as a brute thrall stand in, it'll have to be brute thrall extreme. He's a lot bigger, the brute thrall is on a 30mm base, this guy is on a 50mm heavy warjack base!
I'm also planning on producing some infantry guys simular to this design, that'd work well as thralls or wracks or whatever other use you can find for bio-fiends. It's still in the design phase so likely won't have any roughs to share until mid Jan at the earliest.

Can you take a pic of one on a GW 40mm base? Im guessing it'll be tight, but should fit.
14765
Post by: paulson games
My camera battery is down ATM, so I'll need to get it charged up.
It does fit, but it's very close. The outside edges of the feet are pretty much right on the edge of the base. I'd probably go with a dreadnought base if using the GW bases as the hunched body and the reach of arms really help it take up a good amount of room. (The WIP shots earlier in the thread are taken on a dread base) It does fit on a 40mm base but it looks really cramped on those bases. The model is pretty well balanced but it gives the appearance of being top heavy, IMO the larger bases do help with the visual astetic.
I'm hoping to get some more bases done which would be simular to the bike bases I use with the wolves, at 25mm and 65mm. If I can come upwith a 50mm base without the bevelled edge I'd also like to do those. In the meantime I'll have to leave it up to people to find their own base they like for the Bio-Terror.

I figured it'd be better to do it ahead of time so that there weren't any orders left hanging.
