Love it, but 15EU per bike, sans rider even, does put it a bit outside what I'd be able to pay.

Mmmm, I do love me some gothic jetbike! Liking all the design features, particularly the shape of the display near the handles.

Keep up the good work!

The bike looks pretty good. I’d be tempted to buy one if the bike came with legs (it’s a pain in the arse to re-position legs to work with third party jetbikes). Also the postage service that Maxmini uses has much left to be desired.

For the price (double that of a Space marine biker and £3 more than the chapterhouse one-though with better quality) I'd say that I'd have to reserve this to character units rather than whole squads. However it would be a little strange to have only one character riding one of these, so the squad option would be recommended. The pricing is almost on par with Forgeworld (£12/17 for their rough riders, though those included riders), but I guess this could be justified by the lower number of retails sales. I'm only voicing my concern so much due to these actually being models that I would like to buy, but I just don't think that other companies charging prices that are as similar to Games Workshops is right without justification. =/

FYI GW Bikers are $15, Chapterhouse Jetbikes are $14, and the Maxmini ones are $19.80. I dont see where these are double the price of GWs.

As far as quality goes, I guess that is all subjective, have you compared all three models side by side?

I'm not sure where there's competition here. Chapterhouse jetbikes and MaxMini Jetbikes follow GW's Master of the Ravenwing design rather closely. There's no reason you can't simply go with both.

Also, GW doesn't explicitly produce jetbikes. They have a super-expensive Master of the Ravenwing set that is impractical to buy just for the jetbike.
Plus, the GW Jetbike isn't as 'generic' as these, and I mean 'generic' in a positive way. The GW Jetbike is Dark-Angels specific with "I am a special-character" written all over it

Does I only come with the "boltgun-looking" weapons, or is there a grenade launcher version for scout options?

I would very much like an ETA on the greatcoat legs (i'm sure i'm not the only one). I am eagerly awaiting them for a squad.

don't want to make any promises on this matter - we're doing our best to release them ASAP . Especially conisdering that we have another legs set ready .
We're casting initial batch and checking casting material options.

In a meantime here's new release:

Blah,

was just getting ready to contact MaxMini on an order that I placed on the 3rd, and after looking over my invoice it turns out that I somehow typed in my address wrong. So lets hope my neighbors have my packet, or lets see if the postman send it back.

I do love me some MaxMini stuff, and this is how I feel with most of the pictures posted in here:

Any thoughts on doing legs that match those torsos? (pictured in the post above..)

@Vitruvian : wait for the next set of legs - IMO it should work for your project .

Really like the Hemet with downward pointing horns. The jackal one is a close second.

You know those bottom 3 would actually make very good chaos dwarf heads.

The bottom left one especially! That's perfect already.

If you did that one with a variant version and sold them as a set of 5 without the others I'm sure it would sell exceptionally well.

Top one is my favourite - some of the others are a bit too chaotic, but the mask has a multitude of various uses.
