Hi,
Puppet's War http://www.puppetswar.com/ , another fine small manufacturer of miniatures, bases and conversion bits (previously shortly mentioned in a messy now closed thread) has some new items in their store:

An "Alien Infestation Pod" for 30.99 €:
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=21


A "Demonic Assassin" for 6.00 €:
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=22


A Gentleman version of their Plague Demon for 25.00 €:
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=20


Three other products I want to highlight are:

Robotic heads (10 for 7.00 €):
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=19


Wild Wolfman heads (10 for 7.00 €):
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=7


Wolf Helmets (10 for 7.00 €):
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=8


BTW: Andy Hoare is listed as a facebook fan of this website

Dig everything but the wolfhelms. For some reason I would expect my space wolves to wear zoot suits if they wore those.



Although, that might make for a fun project. Make them into the 13th Company...which would explain what really happened to them and why no one talks about them.

did you guys see this one on their facebook page - looks like greek style death masks:

Puppet's War wrote:Hi there!

We are really excited to announce that we are starting new range of products - Orcs accesories. The first set is Mexico Orc Heads. These beautiful pieces are sculpted by amazing Adrian Gaweł. There will be more accesories in the near future. Stay tuned! Are you ready to create your own Mexican styled Horde ?

(10 for 7 €, 5 different heads)
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=24

Cool orc heads, not sure if they'd fit my army though. Hopefully we'll see more orc bits soon.

I'll be sure to pick up a gentleman great unclean one when I update my Nurgle army.

Probably the best stand in for a Mycetic Spore Pod I think I've seen anyone make, the Plague Daemon is just stupid awesome, and I really like that middle robot head. I wish I had a disposable income that I could buy stuff from all the different online bitz sellers!

I originally thought this was for Wyrd Miniatures... but this is a great resource!

Especially since I will be making a 13th Company Wulfen soon...

Those Orks wearing sombreros are just unspeakably cool. If only there were a unit in the Orks codex cool enough to justify them.

warpcrafter - Feral ork nobs?

Jackal wrote:warpcrafter - Feral ork nobs?

No Feral Orks in the codex. I've already not enough Nobz anyway.

Make them burna boyz: "Caramba, iz dat chili hot enuff for ya, gringo?"

Lots of converting goodness and possibilities.

Thanks for the heads up (pun intended) everyone.

Those were all pretty good looking. But I didnt care for the assassin or the wolf helms either.

Must admit the GW wolfhelms look better to me, but there aren't enough of them in the box.

I might get some of these to put on the AoBR SM conversions I want to do.

Yes, love those Artificial helmets! They remind me of some fan artwork for the Zoicans in the Gaunt's Ghosts series. DO WANT.

That gentlemanly Plague Daemon looks great too, rather comical in both theme and the sculpt itself.

I must mention those Sombrero Ork heads are awesome as well - Mexican-themed Gorkamorka gang anyone?

I shall keep an eye on this company, I like some of what they are doing.

Another head set: 10 Toxic Guardsmen Masks for 7 €:
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=25

+1 for Best Spore Pod Yet. And nice head sets, no doubt.

I'm not too sure on the Toxic Heads, they seem a bit blank and detail-less for my tastes but I'm sure used on a model and painted up they would be nice.

EDIT
Ordered some of the Artificial Helmets so I'll let people know what they are like (with a picture or two) when I get them.

I really hope those Tox guardsmen heads replace the fetish for using West Wind and Pig Iron gasmask heads on Traitor Guard armies.

They look so much more 40k chaos.

Did anyone see the plaguebears? Totally thinking of making these my clawed fiends for DE

http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=9

I really like the robot, mechanical and toxic heads. But I think the toxic heads are the only ones that fit OK on imperial guard bodies :(

Small update:

Gringo Orcs accessories (set contains 5 revolvers, 3 rattles and 2 teKILLas bottles) 7€ (13€ together with 10 heads):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=28


Toxic Guardsmen masks in helmets (10 for 7€):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=27

Oh man those heads are awesome and other than wanting more tekilla than rattles oh well.

5 revolvers sounds like it could save me a bit of fiddly scratchbuilding

Not sure what to do with the maraccas (yeah I know, shake em baby!)

Unless, with the tequilla bottles, they could find their way into a game of Cluedo maybe?

Love the spore pod...

and maracca armed gaunts sounds like fun to me!

Seriphis wrote:...

Dude
Must also have the hat and frills collar, can't wait to see your conversion.

Maybe have it dangling in the air with an Angry Marine swinging a power bat at it. Um candy filled gaunt goodness

Wait, so this isn't about Wyrd's new game, Puppet Wars? I'm confused...

;(

Loving the Daemonic Assassin and the Wild Wolfman heads...

I know others who will love the Gringo Orcs and accessories...

Hans Chung-Otterson wrote:Wait, so this isn't about Wyrd's new game, Puppet Wars? I'm confused...

;(

Puppetswar /= Puppet Wars. Two different things!

I'm gald to see more bits for the Gringo Orks, I really like the teKILLa bottles and revolvers.

Another example that not all Ork conversion sets must be Nazi themed:

Russian Ork heads (2x5 for 10 €):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=30


Also released a set of American Civil War heads (2x5 for 7€):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=29

Gorky Park?

Edit: I hate it when a post is rendered even more meaningless when it ends up on a new page!

re ruski ork heads:

Gorky Park?

That site appears to be having issues.

Some really cool stuff there. Gentleman demon and the Mexican orks are by far my faves, but the spore pod and civil war heads are pretty darn great too.

Nice! Wonder how they look on Cadian bodies.

Dagnabbit yo'll ain't gonna be puttin ma head on no cotton pickin yankee Cadian, no surree!
*spit*


*ding*

Alien Overload now available. Kinda hard to tell whats going on with the head

Alien Overlord is our new amazing mini. It fine detailed, huge, multipart model. Set contains 7 parts. Overlord can be assembled in many different positions. This model is about 110mm high and 95mm long. Sculpted by Slawomir Kosciukiewicz. 35,00 €

I think the face looks like the alien brain from starship troopers.

I liked the robot heads but not sure on what I would put them on though.

Was gonna get the Mexican Ork heads...
Ended up getting Pirate Ork heads from somewhere else instead.

win

holy crap, those russian ork heads will work perfectly for my goblin guard, i've been looking for heads for count as ogryn

The Russian Ork heads are awesome but I've finished a German WWII themed Ork army. I've ordered a set of those Civil War style heads though straight away for a new guard project, just hope they fit well in scale. Anyone else got a photo yet of them against some GW figures ?

Absolutely love the work here, keep it up. That alien overlord model is win! Love the civil war heads also.

The ork heads are amazing. I may have to get some soon.

I must get that plague Daemon!! It looks amazing!

Another conversion set, this time Native American heads (2x5 for 7.00 €):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=32

My cavalry heads arrived and they are really nice, great casting , lots of detail and scaled well. Postage was quick, I'd happily buy from puppetswar again.

Damn, I love those Russian and Mexican Orks....

Puppetswar have just released a set of new weapons (vehicle type mount rather then infantry carried) and a tracked unity for them, They look good and very reasonably priced.

preview http://www.puppetswar.com/category.php?id_category=5

Nephilim

Actually, all weapons are new, as the category was empty last week.

Here an example to wet the appetite (turrets 7€, self propelled turret 15€, choice of Nuclear Heater, Machine Gun, Laser, Laser-Plasma, gatling and Flamer) :

Guess I'll use this topic

Puppet wars has some new soviet astronaut heads

As usual: 10 for 7€.
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=50

Look to me as fine Space Wolf or Chaos Terminator heads.

You know, I'm not sure how I would go about making a Junkie Cosmonaut army, but with heads that cool, I'm certainly willing to try and figure it out.

Also new, Plague Warriors heads:



Guaranteed Fresh for all your traitor guard needs! I'm definitely eyeing up those Commie Orks...

Do the turrets fit Rhinos?

Damn it! looks like i'm going to be buying more soon! i've got ideas for heads coming out my ears!

PLAGUE DEAMON IN TOPHAT! HOW CAN I NOT START A NURGLE ARMY!

Really nice.
Excellent facial detail.
Hopefully they will make female heads soon.

I want:
- Civil War heads (for my IG)
- Soviet astronaut heads (for my IG)
- Demonic Assassin (when un-demonized she will look great sitting on top of a Mad Max inspired 40k-vehicle...)

Also new:
Toxic Guardsmen Officer Masks Heads (7.00 €)
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=52

oh noes... this will bring me into a position i didn´t intend to come...buying new stuff...wonderful commissarheads i might say so too...

Found this on their facebook site too:

Preheresy anyone???

The toxin heads will allow me to make a Capitan like person from romantically apocalyptic!



Oh and interesting looking arms

I love those Pre-Heresy dreadnought arms... and the greater daemon of nurgle with a top hat... and the tox guardsman heads...

Man, I wish I had infinite money and free time.

Those pre-heresy dread arms are pretty awesome. Not a fan of that style of shoulder pads on termies, but they look pretty awesome on the dread, and the hands look even better than the vendread hand.

legion4500 found this pic of an upcoming release on Puppet's War facebook page:


... and these new "Blood Warrior Heads" (2x5 for 7,00 €) :
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=51

Loving the guns... not so sure about the "blood warrior" heads, though!

legion4500 wrote:Found this on their facebook site too:

These are now available to purchase on the puppetswar main site.

Hopefully the Autocannon arms are up soon as well...

Padre^.

Yip yah - the twin autocannon arms are now available (and, in my case, ordered )

Cheers,

Padre^.

I really like there Soviet Astronaut heads slap them on a cadian body looks like a good conscript to me they all look old guys anyway haha

I would love to see a set of those "robot arms" on the forgeworld contemptor dreadnought, I think they would be an excellent match

Nice stuff!I have lurked ur site a few times.Simply in love with the guard heads!

cheap Vostroyans anyone?

"Lenin: I am your father!"

Kroothawk is Lenin's father
Have seen some outlandish claims on Dakka but that one takes the cookie!

Be careful, or the next generation of Kroot will be blue with wings

I feel like the dreadnought "cybot arms" is getting hand-see some one or some thing,


As always great releases Puppet war, love your stuff.

nice perfect for grey knights



renegade guardsmen? do i heard nurgle calling?

The "pre heresy" dreadnought arms are cool and all, but they really do not fit the aesthetic of the standard dreadnought at all. How would one use them in a good way?

Love those hammers.

ph34r wrote:The "pre heresy" dreadnought arms are cool and all, but they really do not fit the aesthetic of the standard dreadnought at all. How would one use them in a good way?

The classic aesthetic of 40K is slowly dying.

I offer The DreadKnight, new Ork deff dread as evidence.

The times they are a changing...

Though I would argue that these arms "look" more 40K then the dreadknight...

legion4500 wrote:

Evil Space Germans? Is the company from Poland? Ah, yes. Seems like Hitech Miniatures is the last Polish Miniature company not to have Evil Space Germans, now that Micro Art, Maxmini, Kromlech, Scibor and now Puppet's War have done their job.

The Alien Pod would make a good Nid building.

Damn, I wish I could figure out a good way to use those Russian and sombrero ork heads...

The DreadKnight is heavily implied to be a super secret STC/newly made design/alien technology using deal.

The ork Deff Dread is an amazing kit and 100% orky aesthetic.

What's your problem with that?

Anyone else that has Bought from these guys have a timeline as to how long your order took. I bought 2 set's of the Dread cannon arms close to two weeks ago. I have sent a email with all information that is needed, and still have not heard anything. getting a bit antsy considering i dropped 40 bucks for bits. So..any help on a timeline if anyone knows or has delt with them would kindly be appreciated.

You know honey, nobody is forcing you to post in these threads. Ignore and move on.

Oh dear god - how bad ass is that. I just have this picture of a squad of traitor troops running around the corner and seeing that, hearing the guns whirl, load, lock and then suddenly there is just fine red mist. I don't play 40k any more and have got rid of my space marines. I am going to buy a frikking dreadnought just to use those arms. That is nothing short of awesome!!!

Recently purchased the "pair" deal of the Autocannon arms - order arrived at around the two week mark.

If there is a drama, I would suggest emailing Artur Jez directly at puppetswar@gmail.com

I found him great to deal with. I'm painting the arms (and a FW MK IV Dreadnought to put them on) at the moment, and will post shots once he's assembled.

Padre^.

oooooo, talons AND clawed fingers. YIppee!!!!!!!!

Geez. Those are too cool for school. These guys are doing some consistently awesome dread arms.

Hmmm... I don't like the three claws over the five fingered hands.

Now, if you could get a package where you got 4 or 5 claws, and could attach them to the fingers, that would be better....

Padre^.

Whilst I love their stuff I ordered the autocannon arms after a few of the alt razorback turrets.

Design = Cool
Casting = Horrendous. Absoloute shambles on both orders. Bubbling on really tiny sections of the barrels. Horrendous mould lines across key bits of details puts a real downer on the nice designs...

Looks cool to me
More practical having them seperate from the fingers imho

not sure about the shoulder pads - does work with the square nature of the dread body.
Love the weapons themselves though!

ph34r wrote:The DreadKnight is heavily implied to be a super secret STC/newly made design/alien technology using deal.

It's a massive diversion from the existing 'style' of Imperial construction from a group that already spent their "weird crazy stuff" quotient on force weapons, teleport gear, and lots of extra bling.

To a lot of people it would be akin to the Tyranids suddenly getting a Rhino-variant with the excuse of "Um, well, they ate someone that knew how to build one really well."

Tyranids-that-use-tech could be a cool and chilling evolution, but it needs to be introduced very carefully as it's a break from existing lore, even for a group that is known for rapid evolution (On the other hand, the Grey Knights tend to be portrayed as somewhat old-fashioned even if never explicitly said to be. They do not, after all, embrace Change.) It would be even more annoying if the Tyranids-that-use-tech came out in the same book as a bunch of other Tyranid evolutions in other areas with little to no explanation.

Hi everyone,
I've just registered on dakkaforums, as i saw the thread.
I will post anything Puppets War related here in advance.

About the casting quality, as of this week we got the new "technology" installed so the quality should be much higher and flaws free.

Around 20-30 orders containing autocannon arms were sent with only half of the autocannons ordered, the missing autocannons were sent immediately after
we discovered the error, and we are working on a compensation for all the people who didnt get their order sent correctly.

I can tell you as a little compensation that new "small models" and walker shoulder pads are on the way

Regards

Ork Commie heads are inbound!

Also, one has a beard

Not my style... but they look cool. Very cool.

GW has intentonally taken the scalpel to the 40K-canon in a number of ways in recent years.

I like the old-school-fluff/canon/aesthetic as much as the next guy, but this isn't your grandpa's 40k anymore...

That doesn't mean people have to like it.

This is, admittedly, a "Everything created when I got into it is the best, the new stuff sucks" but I can personally defend the Rogue Trader/2nd->3rd "Cleanup" of the background. it was a definite evolution of background and rules. I have trouble with the newer evolutions as they seem much more ham-fisted and don't really 'improve' things.

Tervigon?



I kinda like it, more bulky version of some of the conversions of Trygon/Carnifex I have seen.

I have the Russian Ork heads..they look pretty good. Match them with great coat bodies from Kromlech or Microart and you're onto something!

Don't get me wrong, I don't like many of the changes either, but then 40K has sort of become "No Country for Old Men" if you know what I mean...

I don't think GW considers guys my age or older who have been playing for 20+ years any more.

They want guys like that to go away so that when they change something no one notice/call them on it...

Chibi Bodge-Battle wrote:Looks cool to me

Sorry, Chibi - have to disagree on that one. What is the point, and how is it more practical, to have clawed fingers...and then have great big claws over the top of your clawed fingers?

Having the claws mounted on the wrists reduces the reach (and hence effective range) of the weapon. Having the claws mounted "as" the "fingers" a) increases reach and b) removes a "bullet trap" on the model (which is all the extraneous clawed fingers are, really, at the moment.)

Artur, if your reading this...bring on the "claws as fingers" walker hands!!! (Oh, and glad to hear the casting is going to improve.)

Padre^.

Because every time you pop a biccy in your mouth you will rip your throat open
At least my way you only lose an eye.
and it still looks cooler

Mental picture of a Dreadnought trying to snack:

"Hmmm, this looks tasty...choc chips, my favourite!... Hang on... ARRRGH!!! WTF!!! MY EYE!!!"

Padre^.

PS. Artur, still prefer long "finger-claws", despite Chibis excellent rationalisation...

Does anybody know how much it cost in America to get these awesome bits and do they charge alot for being shipped to the U.S.A like forge world?

The site's pretty clear on the shipping costs here. It also has a currency button for $$ at the top of the page.

10 seconds of looking on their site.

Hi,
We have just released a sneak peak of our new fantasy dwarf mini


he and his friends should be released in 2 weeks

That is a promising looking photo
Anticipating more piccies soon please!

Just placed an order for a pair of the walker auto cannons, If the quality has indeed improved I'll be placing more orders

Hi,
On our facebook page, we have posted the preview of the ork vehicle - buggy,
and scaleshot of some of our heads range.






and the buggy

That Buggy's looking mighty nice. Any idea on a projected cost or release date?

Best (and only) new Ork buggy we had for 10 years
Nice homage to the Volkswagen Buggy.

Love the buggy!

The buggy is a thing of beauty. Nicely done.

Buggy is nice but it looks like a mighty tight fit for one of the boyz....

markoseugene wrote:Buggy is nice but it looks like a mighty tight fit for one of the boyz....

Then paint it like Herbie. No driver neccessary.

BTW any plans for more Alien creatures?

Hi,
The Orc Buggi should be available on friday 14th.
The price will be 20E.

The Buggi itself

And now available:
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=60

Quoting Ouze from the locked thread: "Eh. It's not bad but I think Ramshackle's Stinger is just as nice and you can buy 3 of them for less then 1 of these."

I agree completely, the Stinger also looks like it can fit an Ork inside the drivers cab; unlike the 'Buggi.'

Buggy is disappointing; looks like a recast of an out of scale matchbox.

too bad the orks don't have a smaller slave-species they delegate some of their battlefield duties to... oh, wait. In other words, it's plenty big enough for a Grot.

True but fluff-wise I don't think it works. After all, the Orks make Grot's drive their own tanks instead of Ork tanks; this concept applies across the board. Have you ever seen an Ork vehicle driven by a Grot? All the vehicles I have seen which include Orks are driven by Orks.

There are plenty of smaller third-party vehicles which a Grot could "conceivably" drive. If I'm dropping $30 USD on a stand-in for my Orks it needs to look right and be legit fluff-wise. Otherwise, I'll just make it out of plasticard and save the $$.

Personally I think it looks fantastic as a human-sized junky post-apoc vehicle. I really want to get one!

I like it. The price is fairly realistic compared to how much the rather poor warbuggy from GW costs. I might get one eventually... and some Ramshackle Stingers, too!

Hi,
We are happy to inform you that the price of the buggy is being lowered to 15E.

Any customers who paid 20E will be (more then) properly compensated.

And as a cherry on top the preview of one of our wip's.

woah!!!!!!! Looks like I got me another Boomwagon on the way. Is the arm on the back for ammo shell loading?

Also for the Buggi... Why is the spare so small? I would think it needs to be the same size of the rest.

And I thought I was going to be the one to post the price change! Too slow.... Thanks Puppets War! Now I don't know what to do, more buggies..or...boom rhino? You must want all my money! Personally I'm going to crew my buggy with Kroot! Going to make me some gringo ork bikers with some Kroot merc buggies.

Well, sure, if you think slavish adherence to the codex is an Orkish trait, you're pretty much stuck.

Agamemnon2 wrote:Well, sure, if you think slavish adherence to the codex is an Orkish trait, you're pretty much stuck.

Agreed - that seems a bit extreme. If a Grot driver or gunner works on the model, then do it. Adding Grots to a model is always a plus.

I quite like this 'buggi' (not exactly a sophisticated attempt to avoid trouble with GW!). It's certainly better than the GW Warbuggy or Wartrak, which are so old that GW should withdraw both of them from sale - or give them away free.

Also, since the Warpath Orx are so weedy, this will work well enough for that game... as if anyone wants it to.

nkelsch wrote:Also for the Buggi... Why is the spare so small? I would think it needs to be the same size of the rest.

Possible answers:
1.) It's looted, don' ask.
2.) Orks believe it works, so it works.
3.) If you look at the spikes: The wheel HAS to be smaller so the spikes don't destroy the dirt shield.

Tailgunner wrote:I quite like this 'buggi' (not exactly a sophisticated attempt to avoid trouble with GW!).

Maybe you are too young, but Buggy is an invention of VW (=Volkswagen) not GW. If anyone could make trouble, it's VW (also for the similarity to the Love Bug car), but they don't care.

Centurionpainting wrote:looks like a mighty tight fit for one of the boyz....

It's a one-seater.

And very cute ... er krumpin' flash-like, wot!

They look great, 3 buggies ordered!

Liking the ‘’not vindicator’’. Seems like it will work well with both imperial and ork factions. Will pick a few up, if the price is right of course.

Does the barrel move or is it set?

I just got my pair of dread autocannons in it and I'm pretty shocked by the quality. There is far less clean up then I expected, no noticeable casting issues. Aside from a small mold line there is next to no clean up needed.

Very impressed and will certainly be ordering many more pairs

Hi,
We are pleased to announce the availability of our latest product - the blood devils.
It's good to be bad
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=61

Few Pics

Spectacular overall offering guys, great standards, variety and design....

Hi,
The sneak peak of an upcoming product

Deffrolla!

Blood Devils make me think of Baby Hellboy.

That 'not vindicator' set is so cool! I dread to think of the size of ammo that they need or where they store the shells, but hey, this is 40k!

New WIP's

More fantastic looking pieces, when I gte home form work and can get on the site and at my card I may just be making some purchases.

OK, now that's fun!

Hm, I need me a buggi or three. That tank cannon of doom certainly looks interesting, but I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with it.

Wow this stuff is so great! I've had two orders of heads (cyborgs and gasmask) off Puppet wars and they great casts,really nice details and very little mold lines. I have one request please, how about some really weird looking alien / xeno heads?

Love the new rolla..definitely addingone to the next order

More wips

New product available - Big Momma Cannon

http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=62

well i know where some bitz when i do another SM army are coming from ...

Will definitely order one of the new cannon bits, I get a real Iron Warrior vibe from it.

How big are the blood devils? They look like good replacements for terror tots in a Lilith crew, if they're the right size.

The height is 2.5cm.

New wip:

Hi,
Werewolf company set and hands are now available

Pic of the arms:




You also forgot to mention this facebook pic of an "Orc Schoolbuswagon", an upcoming release I guess:

Oooh. Nice. Want to give us ideas what kind of price you're planning?

it is now released for 25€ http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=65











Still in the works:

lol love the school bus! The dread arms are cool too, however, I feel the giant shells make the Assault Cannon look more like a giant six-shooter instead of a 500 shell a minute lawn mower... Just my opinion though, it still looks cool despite not making tons of sense to me -

are the left/right walker arms interchangable or do i need to specificy which side i need somewhere?

That wouldn't happen to be a grot plane would it??

That plane... so awesome.

I'm liking the bus but the grot plane looks fantastic (assuming that's what it is).

Keep up the good work!

Hi,
The arms as all our walker weapon options can be assembled as either left or right.

Here is the latest addition to the collection - the gatling gun

Hi,
Necron fans rejoyce - cyber beetles are now available.
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=69

Hah! Tapping into the necron market already. Not bad pricing, can get a decent 3 or so bases with each pack

Is it possible for a model to be too orky?

I prefer to use converted warbuggies from trukks than those ... I am not hot on the school bus either.

Orks are violent and crazy, not animated fools.

The school bus is indeed very cool. Do Yellow Ones go slower?

No, you have to stay above 55 mph.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!" :floors it:

Impressive stuff as always! The dread arms are coming along really well and the beetles look excellent!

I love the schoolbus, makes me want to collect orks!

The big momma cannon is very cool, it has a certain pre-heresy vibe to it.

Keep up the great work!

Puppet's War is working on a cyberbike:


Looks better than a certain flying armchair concept

That's one brutal looking roller. Squelch.

Great rolla, and the Rokkit launcha for vehicles is awesome as well...

what does the big momma gun fit onto? is it designed to fit a certain tank? Anyone know?

Yeah,I own one.It fits on top of the rhino chassis.

Sad to hear about quality of your warbus.
Mine was dream to work with. No broken pieces, but lot of flash. 1 evening to assemble & painting basic colors. Another evening for finishing painting and adding biketurret.



Definitely going to get a second Ork PartyBus with a death roller add on.

Cool preview pics of upcoming stuff from their facebook website, mostly "cyber" stuff and one Ork pilot for "da plane":

That pilot looks VERY promising. I'll be watching for his completed version.

I want to know what that first pic is of (thinking a Stalker proxy). It's got a face on it!!

The robotic heads are creepy. Love them.

airmang wrote:I want to know what that first pic is of (thinking a Stalker proxy). It's got a face on it!!

A "cyber jetbike". See concept sketch on previous page. Personally I prefer this concept to the "armchair with boosters" design by another company.

The Big Momma cannon looks really cool. Can't wait to see what it looks like on a finished model.

They released "War Plows" (set of 2 for 15 €):
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=71

I wonder if the one with the notch would work with the original vindicator kit (Mk 1).

hey puppetswar i really love your work but is there any chacne you can release version of the walker weapons that would fit other walker like say a larger walkers (contemptor COUGH contemptor)

mainly cause i love the gatling cannon and the close combat claw

Sgt.Roadkill wrote:hey puppetswar i really love your work but is there any chacne you can release version of the walker weapons that would fit other walker like say a larger walkers (contemptor COUGH contemptor)

SR, I've tried the Puppetswar shoulder pads out against a Contemptor, and I reckon they would look the right size. I've just finished a pair of the autocannon shoulders and mounted them on a FW MKIV Dreanought - worked very well. The Contemptor torso is about the same thickness, and slightly less wide.

Padre^.

I would say it would work for the Big Momma cannon.

It comes with the big momma cannon.

Big momma cannon??

http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=62

But I guess it fits both.

The Ork pilot is looking great. As are the various robot bits. The heads have an oddly simian cast to them (I think it's just the top lips) but look the business.

Ork stuff looks amazing, will definitely grab a bus and a buggy or 2 once I finish the walker component of my ork army!

Estimated release date in two weeks (note the closed canopy in the background):

Would love to see a grot pilot for those made as an alternate configuration.

That would seen sensible, as the current configuration means that Ork 'aint got any legs! (Not that that would stop them, Cyber-orks have used tracks and wheels before, why not a jet engine with wings. Bet he is the envy of all 'is mates, but must 'av cost a fortune in teef!

Nonsense, hes' sitting cross-legged in there on a crocheted pillow

Does anyone know where I can get some realistically priced tractor wheels like the ones adhuin has on top of his bus? The ones that came with the old grot artillary big gunz.

Hey guys, i just wish to ask for something... looking at here, and the prices of a bunch of Dark Eldar Incubis, i realized how easy it would be to use regular kabalyte warrior bodys with the right sets of arms and "back pack" to make them look like great Incubis...

So, maybe we could se some "3 grip, big elven blade" accompanied by a pair of back exausts, in future?

Question to those of you who have ordered cannons and flamers, etc...
Have you had to much "reshaping in hot water" like Puppet warns about on their site?
Looking into them and a little concerned.

Oh man that "Cybernetic Hover Bike" that is NOT a Necron jet bike... is AWESOME!!!

Two pics of released models from the facebook page:

New pic of the Cyber bike:

Hmm.. cyber bike looks promising.

Since the good folks at puppetswar are making cyber stuff... a cyber arm that could convincingly replace the ridiculous looking heavy gun arm on the heavy destroyer would be most welcome... I'd buy several for certain.

Some arms to represent the many weapons of the Crypteks would also be amazing.

The cyber bike is looking awesome. My plan of updating my 2nd Ed necron army without buying GW models grows closer to fruition...

The cyberbike is nice, but those robot heads look like something that a "Guild of Calamitous Intent" wannabe would cobble together in his mom's basement. Not menacing in the least. Also love the Ork buggy and deff rolla. Still on the fence about the school bus... Perhaps if they were to put out an Ork "Super-sized" deff dread, that would be sooo awesome.

Cyber heads are now released. Will add a pic when I can access their website again.

Edit: Here they are (10 for 7€)
http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=75:

anyone else not able to see their site?

Working fine for me, acidwap.

Nice notcron stuff, guys. Any more Orky stuff in the pipeline?

Well, Puppet's War is from Poland. So they finally did what every Polish miniature company is forced to do eventually: Release Nazi Ork heads:
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=76

Say, is it possible that you guys would sell the buzz saws as separate bits?
I'd buy a dozen if you did.

The Orc plane is now released (18.66 €):
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=77

Ork pilot = awesomesauce!

That's simply awesome!

So.... where do the guns mount?

Be nice to have a grot option as pilot along with that cool ork.

Awesome! But Pricey!!

SlaveToDorkness wrote:Awesome! But Pricey!!

Yeah, looked at them on the site yesterday and definitely more expensive than I thought they were going to be. If anyone gets any could they do a comparison shot next to a GW model? My roomy originally wanted to get a bunch to proxy for the Apoc copta formation, but if they are big enough he might just use them for the ork planes.

They do look amazing though and still worth the price.

Swara wrote: If anyone gets any could they do a comparison shot next to a GW model?

A photo on a (centimeter) scale is not enough?


Anyway, here a WIP pic for a bike fitting power armoured elite soldiers:

I kind of wonder how these:



would look as heads for Cadians, or maybe as replacement heads on Steel Legion as part of a Stormtrooper conversions. Maybe a way to represent some of the weirder IG forces the Black Library books occasionally mention. Say they're skull-helmets, not robo-skulls.

(Although they might need to be a tad bigger to pull it off.)

That's one thing I don't think GW has ever really done with Guard: Manage to show off the countless weird traditions and such they've stated the Guard has in other sources. The old 3rd edition Guard book had the nice sketches of various regiments, and the 4th book had the Doctrine system to back it up with some rules, but it seems the system needed another iteration of work to make it more fun, less way to add advantages without disadvantages.

going to be trying out puppet's war arms on a contemptor next month. Can't wait.

In the meantime however i was wondering if there is any chacne of some judge type head that could fit, i dunnno IG or scouts or models of a similar size and scale? Or Female flak torsos with heads both helmet and un-helmeted.

wishful thinking i know :(

ALSO loving that bike!

Such great stuff!

While I like them very, very much, Robot heads really aren't what Not-cron players would be after, honestly. The new kits come with more heads than you can use and while these could be used for Cryptek conversions, a cyclopean robot head would appeal to a wider audience.

What I would love to see more of are Cyber-Robot legs of a larger beefier type (Immortals/Lychguard/Praetorians/Lords), hand-less arms, and the front halves of torsos. I swear as soon as I had hobby cash available, I'd snatch them up - if only Puppet Wars made them.

Just announced on their FB page

The Gruberwagen



Personally I love it, and think it fits well with my Bloodaxes.

Oh, I love that one... makes me chuckle.

That's a nice bit or work to patch over a gap in the line.

I'm also liking the bus and plane pilot, but the plane itself is a bit too goofy for my tastes. Nice, but goofy.

I have to agree that the plane it a bit too goofy. I'd rather see a dethkopta.

Here some bigger pics:

I like the balloon tires... they're just so... improbable.

Ooh look it's a VW Thing with armor.

Anyway, here a render of upcoming "Cyber Undead Warriors Heads":



And here a pic of how the other cyber heads fit on Necron bodies:

Sgt.Roadkill wrote:going to be trying out puppet's war arms on a contemptor next month. Can't wait.

I've just received my Gatling cannons and shoulder pads from PW, and am putting them on right now.

The scale is spot on (particularly the Gatlings...they fit very nicely.) The only thing missing is the hemispherical mounting point on the pads to fit into the shoulder joint of the Contemptor. Easy kit-bash tho...

PW's casting has improved greatly, too - my first purchase was a little bit rough, needing some GS. This lot are very clean...

Padre^.

PS here's a pic of my FW Mk IV Dreadnought with the PW autocannon arms... quite happy how it turned out, and was a pleasure to paint.

I see Eldar runes on that Cyber-Undead-Warrior-Head. What are they intended to be conversion bits for? Wyches?

Wracks? Wraith Guard?

Nice model, though personally I'd swap the tires for something a bit more orky, unless they happen to fight in a desert, then the balloon tires would fit the model.

Missed a whole bunch of cool stuff! That ork plane is sheer coolness!

Kroothawk wrote:Wracks? Wraith Guard?

This was my thought, along with Exarchs and Storm Guardians. I'd only use them for Necrons if making counts-as-Lords Pariahs.

The Ork raider is seriously sweet, by the way. Just what I was envisioning for my desert Orks.

Looking good! Should make a great emplacement, a bit of tweaking and I see good potential for a walker-type battle suit also!

The bottom should to be sized to fit in the turret opening of a whirlwind...

It's still WIP, see how the end result will look like and what it can actually join.

Wow, I love that flak turret.

Anyway, here a render of upcoming "Cyber Undead Warriors Heads":

I'd like to see some variant of these with:

1. sharper styling/lines on the gasmasks to have a more "Dark/evil" vibe
2. perhaps some small spikes/studs sticking out, etc.

Also i would like to not have the rune on every forehead.

I want a lot of Helmetless Dark Eldar in the force I am working on and these would be useful source for that...

Damn, that is quite the flak turret.

So the bikes just went on sale. 18 bucks a pop though. (That's about 52 for 3 and you get a free set of their Cyber Markers.. not bad)

"Set contains one Cyber Bike that can be equipped with dual Bzzt Emitter or dual Desolator Cannon. Designed to fit 28mm tabletop wargames scale. Supplied unassembled and unpainted. With the purchase of 3 Cyber Bikes you get Cyber Markers Set free of charge."
Everyone know the Bzzt Emitter is the way to go

Look pretty nice though.

"Bzzt Emitter" LOL priceless.

Looks great, if I played Necrons it'd be bought.

Very nice. "Bzzt Emitter"... *snicker*

So, what kind of figure would you use for a rider for this?

^This. I would very much like to see a rider.

Gitsplitta wrote:Very nice. "Bzzt Emitter"... *snicker*

So, what kind of figure would you use for a rider for this?

They face forward, so I don't think it would be too hard to have the normal warrior on their with his feet on the round back peg things. Might need a little bit of green stuff, but nothing major. I think I'm going to grab a few in about a week when I have money and then i'll put some together and it'll be on my P&M blog.
EDIT: After looking at the pictures.. I don' think you need legs.. looks like it's just a body hooked into the bike.

"With the purchase of 3 Cyber Bikes you get Cyber Markers Set free of charge"

what is this Cyber marker set? I have looked on your site and cannot see what you mean?

GREAT looking bikes though!...EDIT: Oh and I can only see one type of gun???

I second the need for DE style/ varient heads for the Cyber head concept you put up... in fact I would go so far as to say that they were more DE than Eldar in styling anyway?

cheers

The Markers are like large stone necron heads on the ground, could be used at bases or as objectives. There was a picture hanging around here somewhere...
Which I can't find for some reason.
Edit: Found it: They look to be 40mm. Would be some really nice wraith bases as well.

EDIT: hosted to dakka for those unfortunate blocked

And the other gun.

Ahhhh thats the gun option! cheers...

gutted about the cyber marker though- just been searching and my 'Fu is weak!

Anyone else got an image?

cheers
W

I found them and edited them into my post above.

I really like the detailing on the back of the ork pilot, and the Kubelwagon makes my brother all kinds of happy

HOLY PLOP!!!

The best head I have seen in a while.... am guessing they are not sold seperately at the moment..can't find them anyway!...

hmmmm may be spending out again!

cheers on the posting Swara!

Oh, and they aren't for sale yet by themselves, so that's an extra bonus.

EDIT: Just ordered 3 bikes and a set of scarabs : D. Not sure how long it takes to ship out.

These looks great for planetstrike - where did you get the cables from? They look mighty useful!
