My package from My Way Miniatures is in New York being processed!

Oh, the jokes that could be made about the pneumatic fist attachment...

It amuses me that the weapons look too big on the arms by themselves, but look OK when attached to the model.

And these were modeled originally with 1/144 scale or 1/100 scale mechs, on a 1/35th scaler, like the Leynos, they seem better the driller is frigging huge though, has the ability witht he right shoulder peg to BE an arm, but likely will need some work, may even replace the normal hand on the Valken I plan to give it to once I order the Valken

Nice job on the attachments, for a second i thought you put the chain links together wrong, but they look good in the finished product. Damn have to finish my frame arms robot!

Yeah, had all the 16's attached, then got to the 15's reworked the links and they look better

They look stunning, slightly OTT, but right some how.

I do know that if that thing was coming at me in my nice shiny new tank I would be worried. They look like they could actually slice through a tank, unlike the majority of these things from others.

Fantastic work, and good job on attaching them, looks natural to me.

One small question.......um why have they all got Prince Albert's?

Thanks Cam, Likely they would look a tad better on the larger scale mechs, actually a might bit smallish. The BFG's the mechs have seem to balance the arm weapons out a bit.

Thanks, I was trying to make the things look right, hence the putty wok for the chainsaw., the blade and fist came with good girder pieces. the fist I added some plasti-card support near the wrist.

The orignal scale of the Leynos suits are 1/35th scale, I imagine those are grip-steps for the pilot to clamber up into the chest cockpit, it is just about right inside for a sentinel pilot, maybe some interiors

I got them thru Hobby Search, the maker is a company named Plum, 56USD per mecha, plus a chunky shipping fee, but they do once payment is cleared, get here in about a week's time.

Ouch, just for one? That's a nice chunk of change.

They are cheaper here

It was still better than paying 140usd for the GW Knights which are static models, and take more work to pose. And imho, waaaaay overpriced.

140usd???
Wow, your economy is really sliding down the drain...
85£-->103€-->140$

myeah, we shouldn't be suprised, really. The Chinese are buying a lot of US debt so in 5-10 years time they can degrade the dollar tied to oil and push the Yuan as a global trading currency.

That is part of it, but GW could still make a tidy sum if they held the Pound-sterling price and charged that in the local currency of many of the European area, as well as the US/Canada/other nations. Kirby is out to get as much as he can apparently and GW once he is gone may need a new business model as well as a person who can undo the damage he has done in my opinion to GW and their reputation. I stopped paying their rising prices for .04 ounces of paint, and went with other paints that give more at less prices. My Not knights I will buy the rules for, but I did get 3 so far for well under the costs of the Knight deal for three which their bundles are now at their present costs, no longer do they make the discount like a free carnifex in a battle force, you are paying full costs for all units in the "bundles" they feel as you are getting them all at once, then why discount anything as in the past. I will grant that at certain order sized they ship free. but I have been one of the older gamers who have been less impressed with GW price shenanigans and gouging etc. My "not Warhound" was just under 100usd instead of the 450usd the warhound actually is.

GW needs to wake the hell up as many are going for 3rd party minis and one day as soon as a game with rules that are as compelling are made, they will wake up from their self imposed fantasy bubble they have crafted around their offices and find that GW no longer has the size empire it once had.

Aye, I concur... their price increases border on the ridiculous, and their bundles-without-advantage are laughable.

My main turning point was the recent release of that Eisenkern's über-cool APC/half-track thing. As far as I'm aware, that's the first plastic vehicle kit that is sufficiently cool, decently priced, and perfectly suitable for 40K. I would have already bought one if they hadn't sold out already.

I think people are waking up to GW alternatives. And the alternatives are gathering momentum as well. lots of 'scifi knight' stuff out there

Well, the APC's were Kick-Started, but will be open to retail this year sometime, I am gonna order batcjhes for my 144th Iron Hearts from Kreugeria of the Khadrovian Union of United Republics! Part of the major Khadrovian forces when I play apoc games and also, for their own missions as well.

I thought initially that the different weapons were all on the same Mecha, thus why they were all the same sort of attachment- but I think you should probably look at doing a little more extensive conversion of the arms to incorporate the weapons if they're actually different models. The fist, especially, just looks silly mounted, essentially, on a second fist. Two fists for double fisting action?

And all three of them, with the equipment coming out the backs (that was initially meant as handholds) look unbalanced and 'tacked on' to the mecha- doing something to incorporate them into the arm and elbow, and maybe even into the upper arm, would help a lot with that.

A Wolveronin!

The Fist and claw weapon modules posed a lot of problems with the spring loaded action, so what looks like a hand hold in the back is actually the part of the piston slide stop. I am going to be ordering a ton of hoses and cables from Zinge as I need the flex hoses and cables to finishe the attachments. As for the fist, the mechas' s main fist is simply there as part of the fact that the control actuator circuits are there, cables from the wrist to the hydraulic power fist will help to deal with that so as the left hand rotates, opens, closes, and the "punch" command is diverted from the actual hand to the giant fist weapon, as it will with the claw-blades, then I click the release for the forwards action representing the attack in the midst of the fight against an enemy knight, etc. The chains saw posed the least issue with some gray putty. the added weapons alread weighted the left arms making them go to the down position with the elbow joints. These are still WIPs. And as they are sold with pics of a smaller mecha gripping the things like power tools, i felt the modular look with the idea of "explosive bolt detachment" concept also worked better for me.

As no two weapon masters of the Order fight exactly the same even if using the same weapons, they do not wear the same colors, this way they can tell what each other do, their likely fight styles, and attitudes will be. Both have the similar design armor suits, and cloaks with hoods, but colors are different. The two seen here are in service to Inspector General Romanov and his retinue. the suits offer some interesting abilities, and each has the tractor-manipulator gauntlet, but one, Code Name: Castor, is of the biting teeth discipline and so uses his choice weapon, the Gnashing Naginata. The other, Code Name: Pollux, prefers the Gauntlet of Shredding. each is a potent warrior in his own right.

Weary of the pointless and thankless job of bounty hunting in the periphery of the Pearl Strand worlds, they came to the attention of the Inspector General and he made them a more rewarding offer, no longer just catchers of simple criminals, he offered them to do service for the Khadrovian Union, and to fight that which they were meant to fight, the forces of darkness in the Galaxy as he does.

No bases, I had those laying around, with some small WGF bases that were as the stance suggests, not enough to do the minis justice, so I placed them on 40mm terminator bases. Which I can add some grit and "concrete" for a little more than plain stuff to them.

Viktor von Domm wrote:by the way...with that claws the pose reminds me of wolverine ready to place a ribcage ripping ...er...ripper....

So, the scenery like base work is to make you wonder what these two have been up into. the one with the energy claw found a step way amidst tubes and panels, the other found a more plated spot with a standing xeno device.

Nice work.

If those teeny-tiny fighters on the carrier are not removable, maybe you could add some smoke/flame (cotton wool) behind the launching ones to give them a sense of motion. That could be nice. Just a little bit, don't get carried away, think in scale. Don't feel you have to though.
Also, some skid marks where they land too...

Lovely work Unfortunately when I showed it to my wife she gave me the "don't you dare" look.

I don't know much at all about Anime..but that is a badass carrier!

the mutie bases look sweet, will they stay natural or get painted? could work either way...

the carrier is indeed badass...the yellow lines/lights really help to sell the model!

@ Dr.H; Thanx! as for skids, hmmm, hard to o as the "landing gear nubs are quite little to begin with. Based on the anime, I would have to do small puffs.

Bases, had to have that rubble feel as they are wasteland/DC ruins dwellers .

Yeah, the ships are actually optimized for major weapons firing forwards, some broadsiding, and also aft weapon fire. The Garmillas like to git you coming in, passing, and as they pass you, drop more on you.

Yes, I am waiting for complete set of the discs as they are presently slowly releasing individual disc with a few episodes, I will wait till all 26 DVD laid episodes are ready, I watched it at a anime site, but the Starblazers 2199 is the English version.
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is the Japanese name, I have almost all the ships they showed in the series as 1/1000 scale kits. The ships are built in sections, unlike the past where you had the single parts of a hollow shell with features stuck on said hollow plastic shell.

These things are pretty solid.

Got my IG codex, other name sounds like a harry potter spell.

Veterans are safe, I just need to see how to work things out for Vasily so he is not a mere run of the mill sgt,

He was a mighty figheter with the Honorifica Imperialis
for the 5th ed I paid the extra points to use that one sgt's rules, the one that had the commands as well so as to spur the men on!

I have me some reading to do.


Oh and pulled out some models for touch ups and painting, besides Inspector General Romanov's party, i also have a side force of investigators he has also helped start up, Section N, these will be interesting minis and, I hope decent enough backgrounds on each when ready.
Of course pic of Romanov and his peeps first as I have paint work on them all to finish, and then Section N

Yes, the other name is rediculouso (watching Harry potter movies with my kids).

I'm tempted to pick up the nids codex to play around with my genestealers, then again I just might wait for mantic to put out the next version of warpath(heard whispers), and play with those rules as they are balanced, streamlined and fun. Plus if the new edition invalidates all the codicies, I'd be even more PO.

From the sound of it, the new edition ius adding more psyker phase, as well as combining base rules with the two compendiums, for the flyers and the strongholds as I have the flyers, I just have to find a copy of the other, I am not a big fan of psykers/magic phase as it is sci-fi warfare

Of course seems they are heading retro play style as to try and capture a new audience along with older fans

I believe I'm up to episode 10. That was the last one I saw and I'm a little ambivalent about one of the twists already.

Ah yes Valhalla, had they not fired on the Garmillas, the Imperial representative likely would have simply told the UN to get ready to be a member planet under the controlling influence of the Greater Garmilas Empire, or be put down like dogs. Also, the man giving orders was shown in flashbacks to be a paranoid xenophobe and wanted us to fire first on alien ships of which he had no information on.

The Garmillas could also have easily not ripped apart the Earth fleet, but they also have that honor thing of "They fired on us, honor demands retribution"

Also consider that the Garmillas are also pretty much committing Exterminatus on Earth by the start of the show, they seem to have also been influenced by revelations from Battlestar Galactica where the colonials sending a spy fighter triggered the Cylons into aggression. But also Schultz speaking ot Bane was asking the question in an earlier episode, "Why didn't they simply surrender and join the Empire like we did instead of putting themselves through this?" Parahrasing, regarding Earth.

Having both Garmillas and Earth ships kits, I can see just how outclassed Earth was in regards to the Garmillas

The missile destroyers are puny 80meter ships, the Garmillas destroyers are as big as Earth patrol cruisers and faster, more maneouverable, better armed.

The Kirishima just made it the the size to the Destoria class heavy cruisers, and the Battleship Schultz is flying is a bit larger and armed more than the Yamato.

Thats a very good idea for resin anyway. I don't know about using it with one of the green-stuff cable rollers, although, I've always been rubbish at getting greenstuff and wires to get along happily.

I'd forgotten about Space Battleship Yamato, I'd been wanting to watch the live action film when I first heard it was being made, I'll have to remember to check it out never seen the anime.

Skip the live action movie. Like all japanese films in the climax they have to stop for the main leads to have a talk about emotions... Hey guys the superweapon is en route to Earth, could you leave the I love you lots. No I love you more. talk for later

Oh at a later date, when I am better situated, less bills to cover, that is, I will get me some of the bikes and buggies, and other goodies I need for conversion work.

Live action movie I view as an alternate timeline, and also yeah, they get odd near the end.

Anime covers so much, and fleshes the story as both sides have people dealing with situations their leaders could have avoided had they thought things out more.
Garmillas names seem to be Germanic, and their society is kind of Imperial Germany in space.

Many japanese action movies love to do that in the climax. The Gantz live action did the same... the big 1000 arm Kanon/end game monster took a breather while the secondary lead died so he could have parting words with his love interest. Such a nice alien monster. UGH! It was not like that in the original manga but apparently japanese audiences can't live without it or something like that.

Okay, well as my Mecha "Not-Knights" got the final pieces, I will show all the results of the cabling of the weapons of the left hand.

The fist is a complex weapon systems, as the "hand" can open and also grab.

Cables are always a welcome addition to any model.

DO YOU LIKE PUNCHING THINGS? BECAUSE I CAN PUNCH THINGS TWICE WHEN I PUNCH THEM!

That's what I imagine from the super fisto.

Dr H wrote:Cables are always a welcome addition to any model.

Thought you might like the mad scientisty way the cables are connecting the weapons with the arms!

Khadrovian tech at it's finest!

Anvildude wrote:DO YOU LIKE PUNCHING THINGS? BECAUSE I CAN PUNCH THINGS TWICE WHEN I PUNCH THEM!

Well, the cables also means controls, so hand controls for the actual mech hand return once the super fist is jettisioned due to extreme damage making it no longer functional, which is a LOT as the weapons are using the best armor possible for the job.

hmmmm! shows yet again why zinge is an amazing business man and his stuff looks never out of place... this ties your mecha´s into the GW models right in... the otherwise sleek look could have set them apart, but now that is fixed...

Great work with the cabling, really looks feasible now.

@anvildude, that's two black eyes for the price of one dude

Just the touch I was needing, and have cables for the Valken and valkenbooster models when I get them.

Nothing yet from Zinge on their thoughts of my use of the cables on the Mechas.

Thanks to you I've been immersing myself in Yamato 2199, but now I'm nearing the end, and I don't want to finish watching it, because then there won't be any more to watch!

It's really good.

Yeah, getting to the end of it all is kinda sad as you get really attached!

I am all stoked, this summer, the Domel Flag ship model is coming out for sale! 72cm of massive superdreadnought!




I would love to see Bandai make 1/48 scale battle tank and APC kist from the show those could be usaeable for my army then!

I just watched the battle where that took part. He was about the only Gamilon (that's right, I said Gamilon, not Garmillas) that I liked. Him and that admiral's daughter.

Yeah, he is the Rommel of the Gamilons. Shame about him. sad family back story too.

Ah yes, the pilot they get to deal with, lower storm leader Melda Dietz. She would have won had she been serious when her and Yamamoto were away from the Yamato, the Gamilon DWG-262 (Me-262, LOL) is more maneuverable, and Melda knows her 262 well.

Now guess where my other mini project is spoofed from? I call them "Section N"

The 5 bolter wielding ladies are a team clling themselves the "Azure Angels" and their hair coloring happens to also coincide with their codenames, and the fully armored woman next to them is Sister Synth

The front row are all section N and their support. The man with the sword is simply a silent stalker code name "Green Shadow", the center 2 are the Major and her Captain

the short ones are specialist in technology

and the redhead with eh impressive rifle is their sniper expert I will snap single pics like I will do when I do the Inspector General's retinue, single pics and dossiers

I am also working out details for the Fallout minis
Purge Squads A and B.

Were the girls Urban War or Void VASA girls originally?
I find it kind of funny that you have a Batou and a mini Batou.

Pretty ladies!

You dirty old man!!

They look great, And are they all from one system, I think I have seen some before but not sure on others.

Void, I have had them that long! the girls hair color well they eacha have a name the blonde is codename "Mihoshi", the green haired one codenamed "Keyone", the purple hair is "Ayeka" the redhead is "Waashu" and the light blue hair is Sgt "Ryoko"
That Grymn does look almost like a mini batou, except he has his normal eyes.

Okay, the Major, the Captain, the short ones, are all Haslefree minis, the sniper is also a void mini, a sniper from the Viridian army, Sister Synth and Green shadow are Infinity. Hey, my collection is not a total sausage fest!

Viktor von Domm wrote:these girls I have too...seems these ladies come around

The Angels? they started as I said as Void V.A.S.A. Arhcangels VIK, then Urban war had the minis rights, but did new sculpts, so well, the girls have been with me since say 2003? hehehe!

Hopefully none of them fall over or they will be section z girls, and they are enemies if the state and executed on sight .

Yay for the Major.

They make a nice looking group.

It is amusing how much he looks like a mini Batou.

The Archangels look sad without their wings Shas.

Miguelsan wrote:The Archangels look sad without their wings Shas.

I have them in a box, I just need to re-attach, likely with the help of pins to secure them even better as they do pop off easily other wise.

I know that feeling. Did not pin mine and there is a lady that needs to be rebased for better support because the ubber thin metal contact point between foot and base tends to bend and then the wings pop off. :(

I had to pin "Ryoko's" foot to the base as the metal gave out just at her toe touching the support for her "flying" So yeah, they tried an interesting execution, just maybe bad materials? "Ryoko" = Ice blue hair holding bolter one armed with pistol out.

Okay, presently the angels are getting their weapons drilled so they look more like bullet tossers and less like radar speed trap barrels.

Their back pack adapters also getting drilled, then I will drill a corresponding hole in the wing packs, pin and voila! less hassles!!!

Yes, they are nice GiTS minis, got them from Hasslefree, reasonably priced too!

Nice camo' effect on the trousers.

Batou is looking a bit "orange" there compared to the others. Has he been at the fake tan or is his skin not finished yet?

 Dr H wrote:

Working a more Japanese/Pacific tan style, so I will be adding a paler color as that tone is his base skin, 2nd layer needs to be applied.same with the Major

The short ones and the sniper gal are more Nordic like. Humanity likely had some isolation like types, but with the mixing of ethnicity, so long as it was stable humanity, all sorts of skin tones could be triggered, depending upon where the people are raised. As can be seen the Major and the captain were not born/raised on chilly Khadrovia! They are from one of the warmer worlds in the Union

Great job on the camo, and really like the models.

digi camo... now that is a brave move... but to be honest... I hope we don't see digi camo on your tanks... this is something that will probably never fly with me...

That urban camo does indeed look nice. I have to admit being a little uncomfortable zooming in that close on those female models though. The impropriety of it all caused me to feel faint and lightheaded, as if I had the vapors.

Well, the sniper shows signs of being made for Void by Kev of Hasslefree, so her, the short one with the jazzed rifle, and the mini batou like big Batou are all from the same source! LOL
You naughty boy!

Actually, not too much. I learned to be more careful on coumadin, cut can be nasty on that stuff, it prevents platelets factor, so I was worried about cuts. New "Mechakore" scale fighters are 144/200 scale, I would need a 144scale real world fighter model to tell.

I never saw any aliens tho... just there ships... which was disturbing...

Do you have old Yamato models Shas? I got 10 at the store yesterday at a dollar each and i'm wondering how they scale against the new Earth destroyers (the gumos and kazes)

Yamato 2199, like the original 1974 version did not show the aliens till later episodes, just the ships fighting what was left of the United Nations Cosmo Navy.

Just the super smal 120mm carriers and Gamilon ship, they are retooling those now to fit the that 120mm size but from the 2199 versions now, and thy are releasing Gatlantis ships(Comet Empire) cruiser and destroyer of that old variety
The older large scale Yamato kits were never properly scaled. They admitted to such.

Section N and other Inquisitorial types are a nice side project which can be done faster, especially when I locate the other 4 sets of wings for the Azure Angels

I'm about to put together mine as a Manticore. I just love the MRLS look. Ever since GI Joe had that 4 rocket jeep thingie. I never got one, well now I am.

Ahem....;COBRA first had the 4 missile S.T.I.N.G.E.R. The trooper who had to stand behind that thing to launch it had the worst job.

Actually, I was referring to the Wolverine, so I was mistaken in that it wasn't a "jeep thingie."

Ahh yes, I always wondered what happened to Cover Girl, she was supposed to be the Baroness' equal in disguise ability, but they never really fleshed out her character. I guess her head got burnt off from driving that thing and launching missiles

Ah yes, the Cobra and GI Joe vehicles. Well, at least we know what the dollar store toys were knock offs of guys!

But yes, that will be paraded in the planned parade of strength which will be a major production due to how many men and vehicles I own.

Primed the Deathstrike, and am now priming the "Lumber Jack" mecha "Not-Knight"

Okay, so some new ships arrived, they are the same type of kits from the 1980's I had all ships are roughly 120mm regardless of their relative size in the show of Starblazers/Yamato, but with 2199, new technology, Bandai went all detail crazy!


First are the Yukikaze, it comes in white and red plastic, yellow I had to work on. Destoria class is small so if used with the 1/1000scale, it is a small corvette/frigate, fighter was used to show the small scale ships.
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

Tank lander/assault ship. It comes with 1/1000 scale Tank and APC. It carries 6 vehicles.
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

Recon plane FWG-157, it does have a pair of cannons, but the pilots seems more evasion oriented in their flying than combat.
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

And the booklet shows the big beast of the set! the Haizerad Battleship. I worked on it last night, it shares a lot with the Gaiderol, the battleship on which general Schultz fights the Yamato and dies doing so, just a different death in Yamato2199 than in the original. The original they slammed his battleship into an asteroid and it seemed so simple. SPOILER! In 2199, his ship chases Yamato to the red giant sun that was supposed to destroy Yamato, and as they give chase, the flare the yamato splits starts to g normal and the Gaiderol is destroyed by the solar flares. Kind of like the way in ST:TNG, Worf's brother got rid of the warbirds on their tail in the Klingon civil war.

Of course the Gamilon ships will be painted to match the rest of the fleet, with the few minor exceptions of course!

I'd be tempted to see how the Dessler looked mounted in place of the Deathstrike Or even the tank lander or scout ship as grot bombs/fightas and use the deathstrike as a looted launcher.

Hmm....I may have to revisit my Yamato ships now with that in mind....they've been sitting around waiting for inspiration to strike.

Or they use really good anti-grav. the warp engine do give some interesting advantages, like shielding. Oh and of course their basic function of FTL mobility! But while they could defeat the old Earth fleet, they can't handle the weapons of Yamato!

Hah...great stuff. Cheers Shaso

The Dessler does look pretty cool as a deathstrike stand-in, the tank transport does look like it would be a suitable grot bomb stand-in, and the recon actually makes me think of a drone launcher now...

I'll definitely do some digging for mine now

All I'm seeing are drone launchers for the scout plane. The first one does look like a honkin' big missile.

That lot looks brilliant Shas. Brilliant.

Thanks guys! I have plenty of details to work on on the ships

I think these ships in the mockup really do look good as rockets... LOL...

I got today one of the new Gamilian destroyers, I agree that the detail has improved a lot.
