You might have to wait for a while, I think they will be out around spring next year.

Freakin' sold! I'd forgotten about her, but the finished model looks great!

**Malika2**

Warplockmonkey (from the cool Trolls!) has been working on a new model, a Bayourk!

Icesword continues to work...

Some more drones (and very WIP armored Techno Communion warriors in the background):

Juggernaut test model, he is starting to look way less Astartes like now!

Black Praetorian WIPs:

Hydra (who made the Alien Pod) is working on something new, Dark Eldar players might like it...tortured souls!

(Metal model on the left shown for scale)

**BrookM**

I am liking the Jugger, looks good as a human in low-tech knock-off power armour.

**Bossasaurus**

Awahhh! Those Techno Communion, and Black Praetorians are simply amazing.

Hmmm... proto-Astartes?

Or maybe another 40k character in variant power armour, like a bounty-hunter or Inquisitorial member? (I was thinking ala Lucius Worna from the Ravenor novels...)

Oh, and those "souls" look suitably freaky...but do they come with a free Genestealer hybrid?

Padre^.

**Empchild**

As usual Ice delivers... Great work, I can't wait for them to be released.

It would be nice to get some human-scale Power Armour that isn't an Inquisitor or SoB model.

**Malika2**

Do note that the Juggernaut is a test model and will most likely not be released. However, since it is a test model it will mean later versions of it will probably be made, which mean they will end up looking even better!

**ph34r**

Are the tortured souls all posing female souls with big boobs? They don't look much like a tortured soul.

The flame thing is a good idea though.

Also the techno communion are really cool.

**Malika2**

They are not all female, here are some other WIPs:

I highly approve! When will those release?!

I _need_ them!

PERFECT as "pain"-tookens!

Amen!

**Malika2**

Ed started working on a new Demon Soldier. This fella will fit on a 25mm base:

Another update on the Redemption Sector material:

Oh yeah, we have a sculpting competition running, the theme this month is Sci-fi gunslingers, so if any of you is interested feel free to join in!

**Gargskull**

Are the junkbots going to be cast at some point in the near future?

**Malika2**

Depends whether Technoscream has sent them to Ed yet which I kinda doubt. He was still working on them if I'm not mistaken.

**Gargskull**

Ah, so they're still a long ways off then, cheers for the update.

**Malika2**

A little something from Icesword:

Decided that this lot will be the next mold I commission from Ed:

Hoods and final details next up on these:

Spare putty sculpt, not sure what I'll do with this... probably nothing hehe.

Ed continues to work on his new demon:

Warpy is current working on an Ogre character...

This is her rough bio:

"Beatrice" Mag-Uruk

"The daughter of a powerful Ogre Warlord, Karga Mag-Uruk was exiled at an early age due to her father's rage about not bearing a son. Picked up by a slave caravan, she was captured, and sold at market in a large city of Men (Name pending). Bought by an influential nobleman - a perverted and sadistic man, she was put into the hareem, her master ever eager to sample the unforseen "delights" of all of the humanoid creations of the Gods. In time, and with a new name, she was seen as a big sister to the other girls of the hareem, a shoulder to cry on when the games their master played with them got too much to bear alone. One night however, Beatrice and a few of the hareem girls managed to break out of their cells, kill the guards, brutally castrate the man who had tormented them, and escape into the streets. They now hide out in the dark, gritty underbelly of the city, Beatrice a Mistress of her own house of carnal delights - tempting in those who desire to see the pleasures that flesh can bring, and receiving retribution from the assassin-whores of her entourage. Purses are taken, and so are lives as they bitterly reek vengeance upon those who were so similar to their tormentor who took their childhoods from them."

**MajorTom11**

Iceswords stuff looks amazing Mal! The only think I don't like are the heads, just not my style although I could see them looking very nice painted up anyhow.

The tortured souls are also pretty awesome! I would just say that they really need to be refined body wise, they are effective from far but lose it up close a bit due to the cartoonishness of the sculpts at present. Getting some better facial detail, and toning down the cartoon boobs would be the place to start imho. They have fantastic potential though, for quite a few armies/lines.

Great batch this month!

Mal, I think that it would be a mistake not to release this particular version - it's a sweet looking miniature that has garnered positive comments and attention so far - would be an absolute shame for it not to become available, and would probably be quite a popular product...

Padre^.

**Malika2**

We've heard similar messages in the past, Icesword's multipart Trenchers for example were on high demand, but so far they haven't sold as much as we had expected. Currently the most popular models have been Ed's own work such as the Alien Wyrm and Demon Lord kit. The latest Space Pirates are currently the most popular models.

Icesword doesn't seem fully satisfied with the Juggernaut model yet, I guess he will end up making a better version after this one, so don't worry about it then if this one won't get released. But yeah, nothing is 100% set in stone here, so let's see how it will go!

**Malika2**

Update on Ed's Trolls:

New Troll WIP:

Ok, lots of people wanting these so I need to finish them. The child is just not suited to sculpt a bear in the polymer so for now it will be bat with big skull as a ball. Baseball theme. If the resins allow I might cut off arms and make a bear kid later. Just a reminder of the set and these are big, 70mm or so. I figure if most minis are 32mm top of head then 64mm would be 12 foot tall and trolls are around 12-15 foot tall.

Ed also started working on a new creature called a Ghast, it will be a sort of undead ghoul like creature:

And he continues to work on his new Demon:

Warpy is still working on his Ogre prostitute:

And a small update from Icesword:

Tidy up an final details left for these. Cloaks and hoods need a little work then it's onto some guns.

Think I'll do this for TFM:

**Mr Mystery**

Interested to see how the Ogre turns out.

**BrookM**

Got my first Troll Forged mini yesterday, the greatcoat commander. Aside from a wee bit of damage to the rear of his boots (nothing a lil' GS can't fix though) the model is a great resin cast, hardly any cleaning and scrubbing required. You guys have won me over, Forge World can eat its heart out!

**Malika2**

Cool to hear that dude! By the way, Ed had this to say about your compliment:

And the great thing is that is the "old" mold work I did before getting the equipment and doing everything by hand the basic caveman way. 8-)

I've been molding resin for 6 other companies now and they all want me for their resin masters.

By the way, a small update from Warpy:

Anyway, the sculpt is just about finished, just some bits and bobs, and some shoes, but this is about it!

A bit of work to do on this side...

Ed continues to work on his Ghast:

And on a new creature...

**Malika2**

Hydra is working on some new models he calls "Ih'Kors", the plan is to have three male and one female model.

Kid Famous is working on a post apocalyptic female warrrior called a "Post Atomic Lady":

Last time I posted Ed's work, he was working on a nasty new creature...well...it's a vampire!

(look at his hands!)

**chaos0xomega**

Can we get a scale pic of those redemption sector guys next to some IG?

**Malika2**

Update on the vampire:

Icesword's Techno Communion stuff:

**ghosty**

I'm sorry, but the vampire, with it's damn fine body looks silly with that head. It just seems to disproportionate.

Lovin' the techno Communion.
