Nice stuff, i like those wolves alot

Turrets are great options over Kitbashing the Las / Plas. Thanks for the find.

P.S. It erks me a little bit that all 3 pictures of the Las / Plas turret are in the exact same angle and side. I'm assuming its a twin linked plas but no way to tell for sure.

The turrets look quite nice, but I find the wolves a little fat.

the turrets look sweet but the thunderwolves are channelling a bit too much buffalo hump for me personally. nice find either way!

Isn't Scribor polish as well? They seem to like sculpting there! Those are by far my fave thunderwolves, very 40k, or in some respects like some of the best creature designs from star wars.

Scibor, Maxmini, these guys, all Polish. Some amazing painters there too!

I actually ordered those Las/plas turrets off ebay about a week or two ago.

I'll let you guys know how they are when I get them.

if you look in the back of your WD you see a huge list of polish GW's in europe only Great Britain has more GW's so i guess they have a pretty large wargaming community there.

Wolves are big fat blobs with a face...

....nice find on the turrets though! $11 much less than you can get those for on bits websites. I'd be wary of buying anything from poland though, I've bought things from maximini that took so long to get to me I'd forgot I had even ordered them.

i love em alll

Good find on the LasPlas Razorback turrets. What's the cost on them?

I'm actually a big fan of those T-Wolfs. I've thought that most of the T-Wolfs produced both by GW and other companies have made them look too Terran, too normal, too weedy. Whereas the fluff makes them out to be alien monsters. I dig it. They look seriously vicious.

A zloty is worth 20p work it out...

Perkustin wrote:A zloty is worth 20p work it out...

That sounds pretty funny.

Wow, nice find. I really like their Thermic Guns.

I think the turrets go for around US$11 - not bad!

From this angle that first wolf looks like its having a dump.

They do look okay though.

Best thunderwolves I've seen, they at least look menacing (especially if the 1st one takes a dump on your leg)

Wow. I like all of that, especially the thunderwolf that's channeling a Totoro feeling with that grin

Aaaaaaace, I'm enjoying this addition to the Polish invasion of excellent resin products.

The wolves are horrible though, sorry.

I'm pretty shocked people don't like those wolves. Best Sci-Fi/beast like wolf I've seen a 3rd party do so far. Would look pretty good on the table (Even though it's Space Wolves riding other failed Space Wolves into battle). Yeah, I said it SW players, deal with it.

Don't go bashing the Polish again BrookM (sorry about that last time btw, in case I never said it lol)

Major Tom...

Thanks for the link, but I'm more curious about the squirrels.

Lol, did you not get the memo? The plans are hidden on page 569 of Waagh Gonads and Alpharius' favorite thread

Note, just added in a pick of the saddle and legs too, didnt notice them on the original post!

Just checked the €-- prizes. FETH ME those guns are cheap. And they also have tracked assemblies for the guns:

MajorTom11 wrote:Don't go bashing the Polish again BrookM (sorry about that last time btw, in case I never said it lol)

No worries, no harm done, I just hope nobody PM's me about it again telling me that they've "put their mod on it", where's DOOMFART when you need them?!

Any idea how they fit into the razorback turret hole? I can't get a feel for their actual size. If that's a chimera sized vehicle they look huge!

Just noticed the saddle and legs, the legs look too soft, a common fault with these third party whatsits but the wolves really are pretty darned good.

That's some nice stuff; thanks for sharing. I had never heard of this company before.

I wonder if this: http://bitspudlo.com/en/products/4694-gun-platform-carriage
is similar in size to the Chimera. I wish we can get dimensions or a comparison shot.

The Wolves remind me of the Dogs in Willow.

Not sure about them. I like the models, but I have trouble seeing them as 'wolves'. Which I kind of get why people like that. Just a little too shouldery for my tastes.

Turrets are quite cool.

There are shots of them on a rhino, AC's are a bit bigger than I pictured, but otherwise they look good. The plate the are sitting on is standard rhino size btw-

MajorTom11 wrote:There are shots of them on a rhino, AC's are a bit bigger than I pictured, but otherwise they look good. The plate the are sitting on is standard rhino size btw-

Where are those pics?

I can't find them...

£6.87 to convert my existing rhinos, sweet! Nice find, thanks for sharing.

Personally can't stand the wolves. They don't look lupine at all. A wolf is a stalker, a hunter. They should look fierce yet graceful.

This is what the model looks more like to me:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/content/images/2007/12/31/boar_470x300.jpg
just add fangs & a bushy tail.

I'm not a fan of the "wolves" either. As noted, they just don't look like wolves.

That being said, they do look like pretty fierce non-lupine alien monsters, so they may feel more realistic and cooler to some tastes.

Like the turrets/gun platforms quite a bit.

i've got some other wolfs, they come in sets of 5 different ones , 140US,

they come with riders legs sculpted on back, you just need torso arms etc.

Yes, where are those pics?

They have some other nice bits on there too. The Thermic Guns (£2.60 for 3!) look quite like the RT era ones from Forgeworld. Very useful for Guard vets.

The things I do for you guys...

They were on ebay auctions for the same pieces (not worth it though, actually 16 bucks vs 11 at the store!)

The wolves remind me of the Aliens from the Movie Critters.

The turrets are awesome though

Major Tom,
I'm so happy David Bowie imagined you into our universe. THANKS!! They look awesome!!

Wow, those turrets

the wolves, meh, wouldn't use them as thunderwolves but maby as animals for killteams games

Critters! That's what I was thinking of couldn't remember which 80's horrible horror they were from lol!

Well thank you sir, fun fact, I am actually named after that song. Parents still had no clue what to call me when I popped and while they were discussing it it came on the radio. I AM MajorTom! Jr. anyways lol

Have to say.. those wolves are butt ugly.

As I predicted, half love half hate... It really seems to boil down to whether we think of Twolves as Terran analogues, or as the 'There are no wolves on Fenris' not wolf kind. To each their own, at least the turrets seemed like a good find!

MajorTom11 wrote:

Is it me or has this wolf just nicked one of Ironman's weapons?

On the wolves though I like them, they represent another branch of Lupine development. As you say there are supposed to be dozens of varieties of wolf on Fenris.

The wolves look too distorted for my taste, like they crushed headon into a wall.
Remind me of him:

That one looks a lot better from other angles, more 'Rawr', less 16 year old taking a picture next to his Grandma lol.

Note the hands and feet as nods to the 'There are no Wolves on Fenris'

Finally wolves that look like the ones in the codex and not just giant wolves.

Really nice find, thanks! They also have "thermic guns" that look great and are pretty darn cheap!

Lennysmash wrote: Is it just me or has this wolf just nicked one of Ironman's weapons?

LOL

And I just ordered two of the Heavy Flamer turrets, along with one of the las/plas turrets. I'll review them when they get here.

Either my eyes are playing tricks on me, or are their turrets larger than the actual ones for a razorback?

Great stuff though, might actually get some of the turrets.

rdlb wrote:Major Tom,

Seconded!

I'm so glad they remembered to give him his protein pills and made him keep his helmet on...!

juraigamer wrote:Either my eyes are playing tricks on me, or are their turrets larger than the actual ones for a razorback?

They look much larger. The twin gatling also looks like its... drooping?

I like the wolves and REALLY like the guns.

All things considered they are called Thunderwolf Cavalry, and at that size stealth can't exactly be taken into the equation. I prefer this bulky variety to the myriad of not-quite-right oversized wolf models, it fits more with the current Canis model than attempting to trim down the muscle.

In additona, trying to wrangle one of those suckers as a SW would earn you a lot more respect than most other smaller TC options out there.

i like the guns but the wolves look like the creatures from Willow which even though I loved that movie the creatures where slowed looking.

You can never go back. I remember watching that when I was young and thinking "cool beasts". Then I watched it with the kids...and my daughter said "Look you can see the make up backpacks slipping off those dogs.....hahahaha."

I guess CGI has gotten a bit better as I've aged. Maybe one day her kids will watch Avatar and laugh.

MajorTom11 wrote:The things I do for you guys...

the guns are nicely detailed, but I think the profile is too big once you put them on the vehicle tbh...

As for the wolves: It is stupid idea for a unit to begin with which is why a lot of the wolves out there look horrid. What i do like about these ones is that they don't just look like an earth wolf shot with a gigantor ray, but rather they could perhaps actually be an alien creature that was named such.

What is gonna be amusing/sad is when the next SW codex comes about and GW drops this unit from the SW army list (you know they will, especially because too many other companies are making cash off of the idea) and enrage all those who dropped serious cash on now useless models (though I guess you could get away with "counts as" bikers)...

They are big no doubt, but I kind of like that they look like they have the clearance and angles to actually shoot a standing infantry model not walking on stilts or running up a hill lol.

The turrets really don't do it for me, but those wolves are great.

Really like those gatling turrets, and the Melta turrets.

very nice stuff indeed.

Is there a FAQ that adds the MM option for the Razorback?

I mentioned these guys back in November over in P&M http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/326623.page#2094997 Personally, I think they're great..

With the track section you can buy I'm thinking pretty cool sentry guns also. Or maybe if its cool with your opponent using them instead of the Tfire cannon.

Hello everyone

This is my first post here, I hope I'm not violating any rules.

Anyway I'm one of two owners of bitspudlo.com / bitsbox.eu and noticed today quite a lot of referrals from this page. Now I know why, thanks MajorTom11!

We took down the photos of turrets fitted on rhino (which make it razorback) to not piss off our favourite company's lawyers. I hope you understand, maybe some satisfied customers will show how everything looks together painted -- we, as the manufacturer, shouldn't, as it would be using GW's IP to promote our own product.

And yes, the wolves are beefy and controversial, but that's what they were supposed to be like -- stirr emotions, not be yet another "meh" wolves. I love the tasmanian devil association

As for shipping from Poland: it probably took a lot of time for MaxMini to ship ordered products as they were (we're friends since years and neighbors) struggling with increasing production capabilities to match the interest they got. Now they're doing very well, having a stock of their products ready to ship on the day of placing order.
Anyway it seems we're going through the same phase, having a backlog of orders and looking for another employee to increase production capabilities. That's the problem every business dreams of, so I'm not complaining Just please bear in mind that currently it might take up to 10 business days before order placed at our store gets shipped.

Nice to see you on here TOmash.

You have some nice products there. Glad you are upfront about delays at the moment.

May be placing an order with you soon. :-)

Good to hear from you, sir. I just ordered from you this evening. I note the backlog you're having, do you have any idea how long the actual journey from PL to the USA should take? Adepticon is only 70 days away after all.

It's better to be honest about possible delays (we've amended our email templates as well yesterday) upfront than deal with angry customers. Plus we're working on resolving it, so it shouldn't be an issue in ~2 weeks.

@Valhallan42nd: we're shipping overseas via air mail of course, all the orders sent to US up to date took at most one week (5 business days) before reaching the customer. So if you placed your order today it should not only reach you before Adepticon but also give you enough time for painting
(yeah right, some of my Black Templars haven't seen more than undercoat for over a year now...)

Thanks for the dialogue, Tomash - inspires confidence when considering ordering. Might I suggest putting a link to your company in your sig? Might generate some more visitors.

ps I'm in the 'love the wolves' camp!

Just placed my order too, they have a pretty nice bits service going too btw!

I think those wolves are awesome. One or two in a more dynamic running pose would be nifty though. I like the turrets, too. I think I will get the flamer ones. I like Poland more and more. Any chance to get the website in english in its entirety? Or am I missing something? But Tomash is obviously well versed in the english language so there shouldn't be problems I think.

Somewhat unrelated question, any idea when you will have more of the Eldar Wave Serpent upgrade sprue in stock? I've been looking all over for one of those!

The flags don't seem to translate some of the pages, like the information page. I'm using Firefox, could it be an issue there?

And yes, that would be awesome!

It's the same in Safari.

Or maybe I was drunker last night than I thought.

Peopel seem to either really like or really hate the wolves.
I happen to like them a lot
Those turrets are super nice as well! Will be highly considering the purchase!

Aramus wrote:The flags don't seem to translate some of the pages, like the information page. I'm using Firefox, could it be an issue there?

Information pages, damn. Thanks, I'll work on them in an hour or two.

I wonder if these guns would look better on the top of the Stormraven than the allocated guns...? MajorTom. Your thoughts?

Awesome stuff, placed an order for meltaguns and heavy flamer turret, looking forward to see if they live up to the expectations when they arrive.

I REALLY like the guns. This solves my razorback issues with my BA army and it will give them they're own look! The T-wolves are nicely sculpted, but they just don't fit in with my vision of the Thunderwolves. Definitely going to be ordering some of those turrets!

Those wolves certainly look like their parents were siblings.

I do like them as they just look so wrong.

Lurker wrote:I wonder if these guns would look better on the top of the Stormraven than the allocated guns...? MajorTom. Your thoughts?

Too high and large for me. Nothing to do with the guns, just for me, the entire top, turret and vent both, need to be mashed down flat. The whole problem with that mini for me is 2 things, it is to high, and the back needs filling out. (seem my gallery in 'suggestions' for my photoshopped concept for a StormRaven)

That being said, if those things don't bother you, I think the turrets, particularly the AC ones, could look sick on it with a few adjustments!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ps, I made a big order with Tomash, so I will post pics when they arrive!

@Tomash: Any plans to make a gunshield that will fit these designs?

Illumini wrote:@Tomash: Any plans to make a gunshield that will fit these designs?

That's something we haven't heard of, but now that you ask...

Oh, and for the people wondering: the turrets are so much multipart they're a very pleasant material for some unthought-of conversions. Both cannons are separate parts, there's a small part connecting them (sometime's there's also one more part, like fuel tanks for flamer). Also separate parts: flat base and I-don't-know-how-to-name-it connecting the base with cannons itself.
As soon as StormRaven is released (can't wait, DH/Grey Knights are my second 40k army) I'll try fitting some of our cannons to it

Turrets are awfully tall. Makes me wonder...if there is some sort of sighting device on the turret...how hard could you push the LOS rules...weapon up to fire, hull below cover.

Should only be able to hit & damage the weapons...

Look at the modern Apache Longbow helicopter for example. It only needs to have the sighting/sensor pod above cover to fire.

Still, with that assault cannon turret, the SR would definitely feel like a Warthog A-10

Phil

I like them all. Might actually get some of those. Very impressed with the "heavy bolter" and "multi-melta" ones.

Has anyone received theirs yet?

Still waiting... it's been a while now hasn't it?

Same here, havn't recieved anything yet. They did say this earlier in the thread though:

Should arrive soon then?

With such amount of orders our processing is Slow & Purposeful -- we're not going to compromise the quality of the casts (no fragging way).

But they will be shipped, don't worry. On friday we'll ship orders placed up to (and including) 21st january. The next week might (hopefully) see us doubling our production speed (new place, second employee), so that we'll finally be producing and shipping 2-3 days after placing an order.

Very nice models you've got there, Tomash! I'm hoping to put in an order for a few turrets soon for Stormraven and/or razorback use. Out of curiosity, would they fit in the weapon recess on the front of a land raider?

You mean the place where assault cannon goes in the LRC?
No, they're too wide -- you'd have to somehow glue them one-to-the-other, without the part that separares them and places on the flat platform.

But hey, pretty good point, we might think about some different separator for people wanting to place them on Land Raiders

Not yet.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. That'd be pretty cool if you did release such a thing

Mine shipped the 29th but I'm still waiting.

MajorTom11 wrote:Still waiting... it's been a while now hasn't it?

Those few orders that contained not only our resin stuff, but also some GW bits, MaxMini or Kromlech stuff -- will be shipped on tuesday. Thanks for patience

I hope next week will see us finally doubling our production speed.


And because we got such a warm reception here on DakkaDakka, here's some exclusive preview of the upcoming stuff (should become part of our offer within next two weeks).

First, Small Wolves (yeah, SW players are spoiled) -- 5 different poses (one cyber ). They look a bit monkey-ish, but that was the point: they're beasts, not your neighbors puppies



And Dragon Heads -- 5 different designs, packed 10 per blister. Salamander SM, CSM/Possesed, Mutants, Chaos Warriors -- I can think of many ways to use them already.

Personally, I think your vision of the wolves of Fenris is spot on. Reminds me of the cover of Prospero Burns;

I got my order in. I ordered 9 meltaguns. 4 of one type and 5 of the other. I'll try and post some pics soon. I love them! Great job Tomash!

Dude, loving the crazy dragon heads. When my tax refund comes in I'm buying some of those and some Chaos warriors to put them on.

Here is a link of size comparison http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/345475.page , I just finished putting them together will start to paint sometime next week. Tomash when would the new wolf model be available for order ?

keep up the good work !

it is a conspiracy I get something to represent wolves and someone comes out with something better.

Valhallan42nd wrote:Has anyone received theirs yet?

My order was placed on Jan 20th and shipped on Feb 11th, so they are s-l-o-w slow. I don't mind because they set reasonable expectations: there is a note right on the main page indicating there would be a delay. I hope you're reading this, Forgeworld, Armorcast, Zuzzy: that's how you handle delays. With communication.

yeah but I was told to expect a few days for overseas shipping and it's been like 3 weeks.

It sucks but they are expanding to accommodate demand and have been pretty good about keeping us up to date about it... At least they aren't happy about it either, and, if they keep putting out good popular pieces I'm sure it will be resolved in the near future.

After gluing the standing/slapping wolf to the base, place it near a dreadnought -- that's when it gets impressive
As for comparison or youtube videos: well, there are actually already two video reviews of our wolves:

But we're working on it.

Tomash it really is a shame that GW are so harsh on third party producers because it is clear just how much better their sales would be if they allowed/dealt with studios such as yourself.

Great work on the sculpts mate.

Lennysmash wrote:Tomash it really is a shame that GW are so harsh on third party producers

I disagree, GW is really nice & tolerant when it comes to other companies. They don't react to any third-party producers of stuff used to replace their original parts, even if it's (more or less) based on or inspired by GW artworks and/or descriptions. The only company they are after was Chapterhouse Studios (and it's the only story like that since at least 2003) and even that is not because they do compatible stuff, but because they use GW naming and miniatures on the photos (which is frowned upon in every industry).

Or, to put it into perspective: compare that to aggressive IP (trademarks, designs, artworks etc.) lawyers of Disney or Lucas. Games Workshop is actually a pretty friendly company.

The turrets are cool. Standard looking guns that are not over the top or underwhelming.

The TW, I'm torn on. While I like the idea of TW, I just can't help but feel like they are trying to fit a lot in to a small area. The cramming of big and scary but strong enough to carry a SM on to a base that doesn't seem appropriately sized kind of turns me off from wanting them...This goes for GW's TW models as well.

You guys are doing great work Tomash. Looking forward to my turrets arriving eventually (don't mind waiting for a good product).

Hmm interesting, I actually meant towards things like their tournament scene. I find it interesting that you have a very positive view of them, I mostly hear negativity in relation to there interactions but as you have said that is generally in response to chapterhouse. Thanks for the insight into them

Here's the pictures. I put them on some Chosen. They had a few mold stuff on it but nothing a hobby knife can't take care of. Overall, I am very satisfied. GW ones are so hard to get on bits websites unless you're constantly sitting there refreshing all the time. For the price and the quantity in stock, I highly recommend these Meltaguns!

The Twolves remind me of Critters.

Ahahaha, LOL

Well mien finally came in and I have to say it was well worth the wait. Great casting, fits perfectly. Couldn't ask for much more. Also to you plan on selling to in states retailers like other third party bit sellers have? I see your products on: http://thewargamerslounge.com/ but they don't have the full line.

Woah, woah, woah! Those turrets are freaking sweet! I especially like the multi-melta one! Really awesome for pre-heresy or something!

The Twolves are nice, but I feel like they look a little too "bear-ish", which isn't a problem, but it's a little noticable

Mine arrived today. Great looking stuff, will surely buy again

Mine have still yet to arrive.

I got home late this evening, and there was a box from Poland waiting for me!

I got everything I ordered, the casts were well done, and I'm happy with my order now that I have it.

Thanks again!

Mine came today. Same day as some bits from another Polish company so I'd assumed they were shipped appropriately fast. Nice casts, fit together well. I'm going to guess that the double las cannons are slightly larger than GW's would be, but I think they'll fit in just fine (and since I don't have a pair of GW's razorback las cannons it's just a guess).

100% satisfied here...

I also want to put in a word about the castings.

Casting 5/5
The bubbles were minimal (limited to one underneath the Las/plas, in a place you'd never see). Each piece was well fitted, and the las/plas held together via dry-fitting.

Details 4/5

The pieces, while not simple, are not full of the little fiddlies one expects from a GW piece. They are detailed, but the details they have are not intricate. I'd say you'd begin to notice the difference from two feet away, which most players wouldn't even care about.

Wow I think I might just buy a few of the Las-cannon/plasma gun turret.... thanks for the info!

We've taken down our ebay auctions and zero'd stock levels. We're moving to a new place this (at most next) week, with two new employees our production should speed up twice. After processing the large backlog of orders everything will be back, the new stuff (you've seen preview of) will enlarge our offer and I'll start a thread dedicated to our products

Received my stuff, lasplas turrets, heavy flamer turrets and an AC turret, and a special little bonus for Tomash, a rhino dozer plow! The dozer plow looks awesome, I will have to post pics of all this stuff (on tanks they happen to fit on) when I get the chance -

Thanks Tomash!

Good to hear~!

So many cool polish mini companies. :-)

This really is an awesome thread and shows the power of the gaming community. Some one stumbles onto some great looking bits, throws up a link, lots of people go checkout the link. Then the company notices an influx of traffic from dakka and starts posting here. Very cool

Can't wait to see the new stuff - and once you're up and running again, I'll be placing an order!

Good luck!

*points to above post* Me too. Please get up and running soon so I can throw money at you :p

I think those turrets could make excellent sentry guns ontop of a building...

CoI wrote:*points to above post* Me too. Please get up and running soon so I can throw money at you :p

We have a new manufacture Now we're building up stocks, the molds for new releases are curing and on monday we should have some nice announcement!

Looking forward to your new stuff Tomash!

Well, no announcement yet, just a few days more.

In the meantime, it seems we have a new heavy weapon platform -- a flak cannon



I'm not going to tell you what can you do it with

Could we see those mounted on, say a boxy short generic robot like shape???

Will be ordering those Tomash, nice!

Feel free to send me a PM with what else you are working on so I know if I should wait lol

MajorTom - I was thinking the exact same thing on that one. Definately following these! Great job Tomash!

Can I third that!

Hello.

I am the one responsible for casting Bitspudlo bits.
And unfortunately for backlog, and I am terribly sorry for that :( - one person is not enough for this kind of job (especially when this person is making new things, like Flak Cannon).

Some people asked a few pages earlier how will guns fit to Storm Raven.
It needs some cutting and filing (and this round thing from Razorback/Land Raider), and it looks like this:

You're not responsible for the backlog (we are with our reckless selling without limits before realizing what's going on). And there will be no more, as now we know what our possibilites are

That looks way better than the original turret! I might have to get one.

Melissia wrote:I think those turrets could make excellent sentry guns ontop of a building...

I concur... they'd also be cool to convert into stand alone platforms/emplacements.

Better still... Combine the twolves with the turrets for the best mobile weapons platforms. Ever.

AWESOME! . I could see myself using this for a conversion for my dreadnought. Split it down the middle and end up with two twin link autocannons

Thank you Cpt. Obvious...

I'm sorry, but I can't find any of the other turrets on their website. They're not listed under "space marines" or "space marine vehicles", where are they?

here you go. Took me a little while to find.

I'm loving your work, matus, but please organize your website. For example, the turrets that are in this thread should be under "space marine" even if you have your clever naming system. That's a good idea though-don't be surprised if other companies start selling "thermic guns"

Micahaphone, they ARE organized. By manufacturer. The stuff in "Space Marine" is stuff made by Games Workshop.

I didn't see anywhere if the hatch is the same size as the Rhino hatch. Will it fit without conversion?

Oh, my bad. Sorry.

By total random luck, yes it fits a rhino perfectly

I just want to again emphasize that in general, when there have been threads regarding Forge World/Armorcast/etc - people don't mind backlogs, per se. They mind unannounced backlogs. If there is a disclaimer someone on the site (as there was when I did my order, and as Zuzzy does), the general consensus seems to be most gamers don't mind even very long waits.

That's just amazing! I mean, what are the chances? Also, sorry, somehow missed the pic of the turret on the Rhino. I also think the "heavy cannon" is much better looking than the heavy bolters. Somehow the longer barrell makes it look better.

Oh man am I hankerin to get my hands on those flak cannons...

Tomash, I changed the name of the thread to mention your company name and the fact you are still adding new stuff to it btw

Credit goes to Matus, he has designed this awesome stuff

I am glad that the attention on DakkaDakka has brought the problem of too many orders -- what a nice problem to have!

Please take your time to re-organise. It would be bad to rush the job.

I am looking forwards to ordering some gun turrets when you are back in full production.

could someone possibly link the wolves product page to me, as I am having an off day/cant find them!


nevermind duh me


very cool stuff looking forward to ordering a fair few bits including a few wolves, turrets and jumppacks!

So if I'm looking at the gatling cannons correctly, they're somewhere in between the size of an assault cannon and a punisher cannon, or are they closer to the punisher cannon? Is there anyway that someone can post a pic comparing the three???

Also, a pic comparing the heavy cannon and a heavy bolter would be cool. I think they're the same size, but can't really tell.

Way, way bigger than an assault cannon, I would guess it is more punisher sized, but with a smaller radius on the barrels.

So if I wanted to use it as a twin-linked punisher cannon, that wouldn't be far-fetched?

I'm absolutely loving the turrets and "wolves", they look very awesome! Nice work indeed.

Since someone said something about how the wolves look a bit like bears, and I'm seeing it, now I'm very tempted to buy some for my buddy for his birthday. For the record, he doesn't play Space Wolves, he plays SPACE BEARS.

Sorry, we always have to yell it when we play. Damn him and his Murderous Bearicane.

Been almost 2 months and mine are still not here so I am not loving mine. GRRRR :(

MDizzle, PM -- give me the details about your order, we will re-send it. We don't have many lost orders (about 2-3 per thousand) and will try to straighten things up.

I want to say Tomash took care of me after we clarified some issues.Great customer service. The products were great as well.

Perhaps the orders were tied up due to a Murderous Bearicane?

That being said, my order took a while, but it was all as promised, and high quality.

So When are you guys going to have more products to buy. I want more!!!

MDizzle wrote:So When are you guys going to have more products to buy. I want more!!!

I second that. Ruyn need guns!

I just ordered a FW dread to try to put 'flak cannons' on it too! I have an order just waiting to happen here

Great stuff, and the prices are really good. It's hard not to like your plasticard inventory, been looking for a good place to buy it from for ages.

Just wanted to say i received one of the las/plas conversion kits Quality was good,
Some flash and a little shaving required
Nothing was warped

ps. keep on trucking, i need to order 3 more

Sonnofa! I literally found this thread about 1 hr too late. I ordered an Aegis Defense Line box set JUST for the dang autocannon turret and two Razorbacks! I could have spent less money on the awesome polish Flak Cannons for my Dread!

I am in love with the gatling turret though. I will be placing an order in the next week or so for sure. Please keep up the excellent work and let us now when you have a different mounting system for the gun platforms that would let them fit in a tighter space.

Yeah I just noticed that all the turrets are listed as '0' under Availability. I sure hope they finish their move soon.

I wish I could blody figure ou their site to order the turrets and TWC!!!

You can not order anything because they are in the process of moving into a new facility. Hopefully they are going to be open for business again very soon.

If only they took the time to let everyone know. I even think they are Dakka members... a polite thread would suffice.

They are, and they did mention it a page or 2 back. Updates would be nice, but hey, at least they mentioned it first!

Good to see demand is strong though, I like their stuff!

I meant mention on the frontpage of their site.

Also, a page or 2 back in this mess is hardly apparent. Hence, a separate thread in News...

Well ya, you are right, should be on their site for sure. Hopefully Tomash will see this and put a temp out of service banner up!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The truth is I think they are really excited about the reception they have had here, and are busting their buttocks to set up properly to deliver the kind of quality and speed they demand of themselves. Probably just got lost in the sprint to the finish in terms of remembering to notify, were probably just hoping it would have been up and ready before it became an issue. But as you say, people are getting confused, so that should be addressed.

The twin linked Las cannon turrets do not seem to sit very flush with the Rhino.

Can you please provide pictures and maybe a little more detail. I assume you are talking about the mounting plate for the turret?

I have 4 mounting plates, I can assure you they all fit perfectly. Maybe you got a miscast? Have you tried heating it up and adjusting?

I'm sure there have to be a few duds here and there with any resin company....

Resin can be a pain for both the caster and the end-user... check out some working with resin guides online.

We haven't forgotten, guys. We've moved to a new facility, doing some new stuff (and building up stocks of the old stuff as well) and will be open for new business on first, at most second week of may. Probably with a new website / store engine as well

BTW Tomash, there's no image up on the site for the dozer blade. Can we see what it looks like?

I'll see if I can do that, I have one Tomash was nice enough to send me as a preview, and it is purty, I assure you. I have also mounted Bitspudlo assault Cannons on my StormRaven... they are deliciously beefy

I will put up some pics tonight if I can swing it, and of course if Tomash doesn't mind! I must say though, the bigger AC's look awesome on the SR, the size seems much more appropriate than the terminator sized barrels on the stock turret. (Not that I have a turret, I put them on hydraulics underslung on the missile pods

looking forward to your going back into production!

Really want to buy some wolves from you + jumppacks!


dzeiki bardzo!!

Well, one of our customers that got the dozer blades pre-release was kind enough to send us a few photos of painted rhino/razorback with twin-flamer tops and our dozer blade. So here's Oliver's Rhino/Razorback:







(the dozer blade is supplied with a special part that allows easy attaching under rhino chassis floor, so no extra converting work is required)

I won't relink the Fry pic from earlier, but I do want to reiterate it's sentiment. Please get up and running soon and TAKE MY MONEY! Even more of it now that I've seen that dozer blade.

We haven't completed setting up in new location, but we've built up some stocks of our stuff. As soon as Krzysztof does the photos of dozer blade (and maybe better photos of dread*KHEM* flak cannon platform) we'll have ~10 pcs of each of our products. We won't be announcing it wider, though, so it'll be mostly for you, Dakkaites

Give us ~2 hours.

This.

MUST.... HAVE.... DOZER.... BLADES......

All righty then

Like I wrote before, this isn't the big re-launch yet, but you folks here at DakkaDakka deserve some special treatment, so it's time to let out a part of the stock we've been building up recently. The amounts aren't huge (10 pcs each), but should satisfy your hunger for at least a while.

Two new things, already discussed and shown in this topic, deserve mentioning:
Flak Cannon Platform
Tank Dozer Blade

Soon to be released:
- small wolves (already previewed here)
- dragon-style heads (like above)
- old-school (as in: sexy, alluring and demonic) daemonettes/succubi

Really liking the broken down version of the flak cannon. Looks like a certain rifleman will finally be getting his guns.

Sweet! I just ordered me some goodies...

Flak Cannon Platform x1
Twin Laser Cannon Platform x1
Gatling Cannon Platform x1
Combo - Flame Gun x5 (Much better than any kib-bash that I've done so far...)
Missile Launcher x1 (I like this old-school look. I want to see how it looks on a model before getting more.)

SickSix wrote:Yeah me too! I just wasn't fast enough. ah well. hopefully only another week or two before they are back up to full production.

Correct

Oh and they have updated stock on other stuff to! I just ordered two sets of Jump Packs! I know someone else was wanting some earlier in this thread.

Yep, all of our resin stuff (including Storm Wolves). I told you we're building up stocks of our whole range

Hot damn that's nice!
i also see a distinct lack of captain jack (this. This is a good thing)

Tomash, you really need to put a link to your site in a signature, making our trips over to buy your stuff that much easier.

That plow is sweet, I think that's just what I needed for my Arbites Rhino!

VERY nice stuff you've got in your store!

Once you iron out the various supply problems, I think you'll be getting lots and lots of sales!

Congrats, and looking forward to seeing what else you come up with!

Tomash, you got more of my money, a few more dozer blades and some Flak Cannons!

Besides that, let me apologize for not getting around to showing pics of the Dozer blades... That being said, it would have been an unpainted mini, when whoever did that yellow beauty obviously did you a greater service than I would have!

Now, to make up for it, I will post pics of your Assault Cannons mounted on the wing pods of my MajorTom Pattern StormRaven later tonight

Just ordered 3 dozer blades off you guys for some Rhino's that need pimping out, looking forward to using them

Hmmm ... once I finish my deathwing and start my 3rd battle company I will definately look to getting some of those turrets and maybe some other bitz...

What he said.

Thunderwolves are not earth wolves, not even close. It's best to just treat the word "wolf" as a coincidence, much like Greek has a word that sounds exactly like "idea" but means "ludicrous nonsense". Hmm, well, perhaps that is a bad example, because the whole idea of wolf-riding space marines is pretty much ludicrous nonsense.

FYI, there is new stock on the website. I finally got to order some of those awesome gatling cannons!

$13.30 for a Quad Barreled Flak Turret that looks great? Seems like somebody found the perfect price/quality ratio, those should sell well.

So well they(the flak turret) are out of stock again! :( Oh wells, I guess that means I'll have to make another order when the demonettes become available!

Hey guys, any chance you'll get more stock of the Missile Launchers soon? I'm looking to buy 15 of them

I would love to see a picture of the quad flak guns on a Dread. Will the female snugly fit with the male of the dread?

Whenever I receive mine I will put up pics of them mounted on a dread -

Hi Guys!

Let me introduce myself as the other part of the Bitsbox. I finally got my account here so I will be able to suplement any information Tomash will miss.

Lets start with this question

glon52 wrote:I would love to see a picture of the quad flak guns on a Dread. Will the female snugly fit with the male of the dread?

As the different dreds have different 'size' of the male part the holes are made in a way to fit smallest of them. In the same time it can be very easily drilled for bigger ones. In fact you can widden this hole with pointy hobby knife.


For those of you interested in small wolves we have first batch available. They are packed two in set. We are planning to add two more version ( one of them cyber ) in couple of weeks.

What about the daemonettes that were announced -- do you have a preview of them? I'm really considering a Slaanesh army, but it all hinges on being able to find good daemonettes!

Ryun, I've sent you a PM, since the daemonettes are not yet ready for public preview. But I think even these pre-pre-production photos should convince you to start a Slaanesh army

Hi Guys,

I have two news for you and both of them are good

1. I just added to our stock Dragon Skull Helmets http://bitspudlo.com/pl/products/5114-dragon-skull-helmets-10-
They are suitable for either SM or Chaos Warriors size models.

2. Although we still struggle with new place for our workshop we managed to get second casting set and will be producing stuff much faster now. So expect to have most of the inventory back in the stock in this and next week.

Ye gods, these heads are in dire need of painting, photos of raw resin pieces simply don't do them justice.

It looks like they have rearranged their website, which means the old links (and links to pictures) don't work.

Their homepage is here.

I don't like how it looks, though. I prefered the old layout.

Apparently they just redid their site. Try this. http://bitspudlo.com/products/dragon-skull-helmets-10

I really like the dragon skulls, but have trouble seeing them on some power armor. Mainly because they look like actual dragon skulls and there is nothing to suggest that its a helmet. Or are these intended for chaos/daemon figures? Then it makes since.

The new layout of the website is generic. We wanted to start with the functionalities and then pimp the looks of it.

Me too

This is a generic default Spree layout. I don't know if I'll port the old one (should do the trick for at least some time) or look for something completely new. But I agree that this default, while clean, is dull and without character.

As for the broken links: they'll be working soon, at least the most important ones (old links to categories and products).

cool stuff thanks for the link, anyone know when the las-plas is coming back in stock?

Thanks for the response. I think power cables could be a nice touch. Also maybe some cybernetic additions like cybernetic optical implants or even one or two with a mechanical jaw. Make it look more like the skulls were adapted into helmets. But as they are now they are perfect for regular fantasy or demon pieces.

do they ship to the US?

Yes we do, as probably many dakkaites here can attest

(please give us at least 12 hours from now and don't place any orders for this while, we're working hard to make the new store engine work like we want it to)

OK, I've fixed the links to images, categories and products -- they should all work now.

Time to test and smooth the whole order-placing flow, place some convenience links (changing currency, as I assume you'd like to see prices in eur or usd instead of polish zloty) and after I get some sleep we can start with the new store full-throttle

Are your email addresses the same? I sent an email to the bitspudlo@bitspudlo.com address, regarding new piece ideas.

Oh yeah, this is the big news we forgot to put up
Monday starts with large availability of three very demanded products, namely Flak, Gatling and Las-Plasma platforms. Other products -- at first remaining platforms, dozer blades -- will follow in subsequent weeks. New manufacture FTW

Agreed. They are quite good at that. Something a few other companies that shall remain nameless could take some pointers from.

tgf wrote:cool stuff thanks for the link, anyone know when the las-plas is coming back in stock?

Monday evening ( GMT ) I will add some more turrets to the stock and from there I hope we will be able to maintain more or less regular production.

Second casting set is doing great and we have started to use new resing which makes whole process faster, not to mention improved quality.

We're too small and too much of a beginners in this market to not communicate with our customers and not take the clues* they're giving us
(thanks guys, your feedback really makes Bitspudlo a better store and manufacturer!)

* where "clues" is a mild name for "OMG they're totally right how come we didn't know/think of that before?"

If you want some ideas.....;


Make a 'not Cyclone Missile Launcher'. They go for 12-15 bucks (EACH) on Ebay/bits sites----and given Dark Angels/LoganWing---they are popular.

It's an upcoming release, hopefully mid-june in regular sale

It is like he was reading your mind... in the past!

Looking forward to these - any chance of some WIP pics?

Hey guys - found a pretty severe bug with the currency converter while I was placing an order.

If you follow the linik for the USD converter and process with PayPal it will process the $ dollar total as Polish Zloty. For example, my balance was around 60$ US in the cart but when processed the PayPal charge was around $22.

I just went back and used the Zloty link and everything processed correctly. Thought you might want to get that one fixed to avoid any billing issues!

Great minds and all that

I've been looking at buying a Storm Wolf 02 but I'm not sure what the Wolf Shields are. What exactly are they and where would they go on the model?

Is the gun paltform carriage the same size as a Chimera? Because if it is, I will definitely be picking up some of those.

@ashtekka: wolf shields are made for decorating wolves, they're about the size of 25mm round base. We'll put some to-scale photos later.

@creeping-deth87: no, it's a lot smaller. just enough size to fit the gun platform on top (see the slot size).

Edit: fixed, deploying. Thanks again! We haven't been hunting currency-related bugs yet, that's why the currency change links haven't been placed on the layout yet.
I owe you one, Herod

By the way, yesterday I've open-sourced the engine powering our site, it's on github.
https://github.com/tomash/bitspudlo.com

Any programming geeks wanting to see how to do a e-store using Spree (a Ruby-on-Rails based e-commerce engine), with some nifty features given by extensions (paypal website payment, multi-currency, multi-language product names) -- and all of this in (currently) in a mere 65 lines of code -- well, the whole codebase is publictly available on github

When will there be a restock on las plas platforms. Interested in ordering some of those and maybe some wolves.

You might have missed it. He answered that a few post up:

Tomash wrote:Oh yeah, this is the big news we forgot to put up
Monday starts with large availability of three very demanded products, namely Flak, Gatling and Las-Plasma platforms. Other products -- at first remaining platforms, dozer blades -- will follow in subsequent weeks. New manufacture FTW

Thanks I missed that.

Do the turrets rotate or are they fixed?

Anytime!


I'm not sure if they rotate or not. I'm still waiting for my order to arrive.

They rotate. It's a nub that goes in a groove in the mounting plate. I've used them for months now; they're great.

They rotate and are great.

Once magnetized you can basically aim it however you want.

Oh damn, I wanted to create bitspudlo.com new tagline along the lines of "better than citadel finecast", but after seeing the failcasts it would be like kicking the already lying

Tomash... when will your new base of operations be up and running.

Im waiting to place an order for Thunderwolves and Razorback turrets.

I don't know anything about code, but this makes me uncomfortable as hell. Why would you put your code up for anyone to see. You have my paypal number for crying out loud.


Edit: I was a little cranky this morning. Please don't put your code up like that.

Kroothawk wrote:Thanks, that makes hacking your website easy as pie now

Good luck!
I wouldn't open-source it if it could affect our security in any way.

It doesn't work like that.
1. Code and security: security by obscurity (i.e. based upon lack of knowledge how something works) is a bad and loathed upon security model. A good security model is the one when even knowing the algorithms and how it works it doesn't mean you can break it.
2. There's no such thing like "PayPal number", it's not a credit card (and even if you pay using credit card on PayPal site, it's kept by PayPal -- we don't even get a chance to see it). You have to authorize yourself every single transaction, so I can't charge you a single penny you haven't clicked yourself.
3. The code of our website is basically a stock Spree (spreecommerce.com) engine, which is already open-source.
4. The code doesn't contain any passwords, certificates (assymetric keys used for encrypting data exchanged with PayPal) not other sensitive data. Actually the open-sourced code doesn't contain any data.
5. Just ask your friendly programmer or sysadmin.

TL;DR keep calm

Tomash... when will your new base of operations be up and running.

Tonight, i.e. in a few hours!

Hey Tomash,

While you're on here---two quick questions;

1. When do you plan on releasing the 'not CML'----you stated mid-June---is that time frame still accurate?
2. I placed an order with you as a guest----yet do not see an order # in my Paypal Invoice. Is there a way to track your orders on your site if you ordered as a guest?

Thanks!

1. First we want to release female daemons and then we will move to CML. Mid June is quite possible but the priority is to restock all the current products.
2. I don't think Spree gives that possibility other than just mailing us with the question about it. If you are thinking about ordering anything in the future consider creating account.

I just added gatling, lasplas, and flak platforms 20pcs each to the stock. Other currently out of stock products should follow at the end of the week.

There should be an available link to order with special "token" added to url, I'll try to dig it out and send you.
I fully understand (and support!) the fact that registering to yet-another site shouldn't be obligatory

I got my notification of shipment on my first two orders the other day. I am excited about that. I also just barely managed to get a flak turret ordered. Those things go fast! I am really looking forward to future releases from you guys!

And Now for Something Completely Different...

Powergamer Bases (first casts)

60mm


40mm (set of 3)


What is different? Their height. Although they are "scenic", height is the same (in lowest point) as standard base.

Thanks for restocking on las/plas platforms. I placed an order for las/plas platforms and some anti aircraft platforms for dread conversions. Looking forward to getting them.

Received my dozerblades today, dead impressed! Managed to grab some of the assault cannons just now, can't wait!

Whoa, new demonettes / succubi completely blew my mind. I'll post a few pictures as soon as we get them from the sculptor (tuesday-wednesday), should appear in our offer in ~2 weeks

4 completely awesome poses. Sexy, dangerous and demonic.

Edit: a small preview. There will be some wings and tails for these beauties, we're also thinking abouts "bits packs" with alternative weapons/arms.

beautiful!

Omg do want the daemons projected priceing?
got my assault cannon in really great sculpt

Wow - VERY nice looking bases and, more importantly, miniatures - well done!

cyrax777 wrote:Omg do want the daemons projected priceing?

We're still thinking about it and can't actually give a final price until we see how difficult they're to cast (which affects waste ratio).
But we're thinking along the lines of
15 Euro (~22$) for a 4-pack (one of each pose)
35 Euro (~51$) for a 10-pack (randomized, but at least 2 of each pose of course)

(or, if someone wants only one miniature with given pose, probably 4.5 Euro (~6.60$) for a single model)

I think such prices should be pretty attractive, especially considering the quality and alluring dangerous beauty of these demonettes

Oh, and we'll check if they're compatible with MaxMini daemonic wings (also available at our store).

those minis are gorgeous! Great job guys! I probably won't buy any cause I don't play those types of armies, but those are some great looking models. Very high quality sculpts!

Those Succubi look wonderful! really like those models, beautiful shape and poses, again an item i'll most likely purchase just to have in my collection, well done!

Those demons are astounding, I don't have the vaguest idea what I could use them for but I want them

Lovely.

Any idea as to when the heavy flamer turrets might be back in stock?

Neconilis wrote:Any idea as to when the heavy flamer turrets might be back in stock?

Tomorrow, it seems that Monday is the Restocking Day

Thanks for the feedback about the demonettes, these are our first full-and-complete miniatures, so we were pretty anxious about it!

U forgot "Wolves"

I stand corrected. First full-and-complete human-sized (and human-like) miniatures, I mean.

Excellent, I was hoping to just have to make one order, so I can wait one more day =)

Those Daemonettes are really nice. I think I may be able to complete my CSM army after all!

Any idea when we could see those painted?

They deserve it!

I've never been one to play a chaos army, but if I were to, it would be Slaaneshi. These models just might provide enough temptation to seriously consider it.

MajorTom11 wrote:Any idea when we could see those painted?

As soon as there will be some first casts.
Adn I am still waiting for them to make molds.

Like Matus wrote. We need to receive first casts (and for that to happen Matus has to receive the sculpts, make molds and do a bit of actual casting) in order to get them painted.
