Hmm interesting thing I found. Another bitz maker is on the marker. They've got not razorback turrets and not dreadnought autocannons up.

Maybe it's just me but I think their postage is a bit too high for my tastes...

MOAR razorback turrets and dread autocannons? Wasn't that already a pretty saturated market to begin with?

Also loving the not-so-subtle name and the totally-not-the-Imperial-eagle symbol.

Heh, I just noticed, they're Polish. Kroot will be very happy to see their space orcs I bet

Yea, I must admit it is pretty darn overdone

But I do hope their other "ranges" do get filled out, like their cybercrons

Oh boy, the mother company itself is called "Cytadela"

Yea, that's the one really awesome thing about GW. They've taken so much of their lore and iconography from history, other companies can pretty much add any of GW's icons on their own bits, and it be totally legal...assuming they call it something else of course.

Those aren't bad at all. Quite nice sculpts, reasonably priced, and the postage is reasonable from my perspective.

Except.... I've already got a ton of GW Razorback turrets, and plan to buy a bunch of Puppetswar ones. I might just get a couple, anyway.

I thought the double headed eagle was one of the few GW original designs. I could be wrong. I haven't bothered to research every item GW has ripped from history and then sent C&D's because they think they own it because they stole it first.

The double-headed eagle is a common symbol in heraldry and vexillology. It is most commonly associated with the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and Russia~Wikipedia

Though the heavily angled Double Headed Eagle is pretty much "The GW" Double Headed Eagle imo. Everyone else usually have curves

$11 for a pair of auto cannon dread arms is a good price, and they don't look half bad.

I'll likely use them whenever I get around to adding a second dread, as my current FW one has FW cannons.

These are the first autocanon dread arms I've yet seen that aren't terrible. The pred weapons are pretty nice as well.

I like the ammo feed on the assault cannon one.

Oh, these are lovely. The shipping is a bit more than I'd like, but if you can split an order with a buddy or two...

They look decent and quite cheap too, shame i have so many turrets already, also i have never been a fan of videos made up of stills !!

This is nice... I wish all the cool bits makers weren't in poland (why is that, by the way?)

Aside from those walker autocannons, it's basically Puppetswar Mk2. Not at all impressed, and I'm actually not a fan of the aquilas on everything.

On the other hand, I do like the walker autocannons, and it looks like he has a nice big range planned, worth keeping an eye on.

Only a matter of time until they release cartoonish "German Orks" with and without gas masks
It is always the third on any Polish conversion parts to-do-list after Razorback turrets and Dreadnought arms.
I should really do an extensive link list with "Polish conversion resources for Germany haters" some time in the future.

Edit: And yeah, calling your company Forge Planet by Cytadela is asking for legal trouble.

If the release full german orcs kits with greatcoats and shoota-type weapons, I will buy them. Loads of them.

I'm excited to see what they have planned for Terrain. I'd love to get my hands on a Wraithbone defense line with Super scatter lazer defense turret.

Great. 3rd part turrets I'd actually buy come out after Razorbacks have been pretty much relegated to cold storage by 6th edition. :(

Seriously. I finally have actually managed to amass (at relatively minimal cost) enough standard GW SM vehicle Razorback turret bits sets to make every variant, and now, they're pretty much worthless on the tabletop. My Angels Encarmine are going to become a Descent of Angels force, or whatever other potential list is not completely nerfed by 6th Ed.

I may end up building and painting a vehicle or two, but since I'm trying to prioritize models that I plan to field, Rhinos/Razorbacks/Predators just got sent to the back of the assembly/paint queue. I'm not super-competitive, but I don't want to get crushed every game either...

Forge planet, come on guys, get creative here! Nonetheless, they have quality products and as soon as they come out with something I might actually want I might just get it! Turrets and AC arms seem to have been done to death already but these are right up there with puppet's war and others.

$10 shipping is not all that bad so long as they come out with enough stuff that I would actually make the effort to buy from them, given the quality of the stuff we have seen I have high hopes for them!

Those are the first razor turret alternatives that i see, like and dont get overdone on the price. Pretty nice. The lines are very technological, and made remember tau somewhat...

I only need 2 of those anyway

Nice Imperial Insignia...

MY GW LAWSUIT SENSES ARE TINGLING!

Also, what's this about Razorbacks being worthless?

Combat Squading now means two Razorbacks per Tactical Squad with a heavy/special weapon in each plus the upgrades for the Razorback. Marine with Lascannon + Razorback with Lascannon with Twin-Linked Plasma Gun... PEW PEW PEW. Plus the Lascannon can snap-shot whilst the Twin-Linked Plasma Guns Rapid Fire as normal at Combat Speed or Snap Shot Lascannon at Cruising Speed, whilst moving to flank.

Useless? I guess it depends on play-style but I intend to be spamming Razorbacks on my flanks to draw fire as well as dish it out in return.

I suspect you may have misunderstood something, somewhere along the line. Because Combat Squads don't alter the number of transports the unit can buy.

And at such a low armor value, they get glanced to death by a strong wind.

Maybe GW wrote the 6th edition rules to hurt the 3rd party guys.

"Boss, the third party people keep on making nicer turrets and dread arms than us, what can we do?"

"Easy, we make vehicles suck!"

Actually GW needs to register that as a trademark in Poland first don´t you think, having Citadel as a TM in the UK doesn´t mean they get the same rights to that word in all the languages of the world.

And +1 to the orks in greatcoats, I would embrace the ally rule wholehearted if I could use soviet ork mobs.

International copyright law says differently. This is why I can't come out with my own "Coke" drink and label it like the real Coca-Cola.
