Yep.. the Buzz Lightyear comparison has been mercilessly highlight on facebook also! My favorite so far -

"Jump packs arnt meant for flying, the're for "falling with style"!


Ill be reworking this initial draft quit a big, making the wings on the side both poseable, and also optional, so people can just use the central jet pack bit.

Plenty of other new product to come first though before I get round to this.

Cheers,

Joel

Glad I wasn't the only one to see a Buzz Lightyear backpack! I think the wings just give it too much of a glider look and less or a propulsion system. Ran across this pic after a quick search. Make something like that and you would be my hero!

Love the Dwarves dude! actually so nice that I'll grab some purely for painting! I can look at them and see in my mind how i want to paint them and it gets the excitement flowing for a new project!

I quite like the jump pack needs a little tweaking but on the whole pretty good, also the pic above does look pretty cool as well but both very different directions just see how this evolves.

Will these be steam lord size or human, please human please human please human

This would be interesting,
here is another example of a good jump pack

I notice how both our examples are on fairly slim human soldiers. Perhaps if you were looking for a different style for your steam lords then you do do something like these for your regiment figures Joel?

like i said on facebook IMHO "Fuel tank needs to be bigger and some heat wash protection plates?"
Some winglets would also be nice

Just seen your Facebook pic. Very impressive prints. Human sized?

Yep, Human sizes.

and for those who dont go on my facebook page Ive attached the image.

These are the upcoming initial batch of weapons for my regiments range.

Also thanks everyone for futher Jet pack feedback! It will all be taken on board when I do more work on that project.

Cheers,

Joel

Those prints look fantastic Joel! I think I will be getting some of these the second that they are up for sale.

They are so beautiful I really am looking forward to getting my grubby hands on these

You did a fine job on these Joel

cheers guys,

I hope lots of people buy lots as soon as they are ready so I can pay for the cost of printing them!! The improved quality is well worth the expense though, these will be the highest quality components I've released yet.

Joel

Don't know about you all, but I don't know if I would be less reassured by wearing something designed to fly called 'Anvil' or in my military command's sense of humor in naming it that.

Vitki, I've seen it work before:

Great looking weapons, Joel. I almost placed another order with you a few days ago, but it got bumped for furniture - so it'll have to be next payday instead. Any new stuff coming to the store in the next couple of weeks so I can work out what I want to buy?

What's the resolution you are getting on these new prints? I didn't really know there were 3d printing services better than the shapeways etc. fine detail material.

Will you have arms for those? I know you have mentioned shoulder pads, which I a very much looking forward to! I am trying to get anything resembling the Cadian pattern.

I think that the cultists look a little skinny, especially in the shoulder area. the sides of their torsoes and legs look like they are parallel aha
that is the only real problem i have with them though

well, would you expect a bunch of chaos cultists to be in the best of shape?

I got my order today and I have to say, I love the bits I got. Those rifles are amazing! I fully intend to place another order shortly. This time I'm getting some cultists though.

@azazelx - Yes of course, LOTS of new stuff planned.

The main things are tactical/SWAT style Steam Lords currently in the works, and various mechanical cyborg type models,
Plus the first bits and peices in the regiments range including these new guns.

@ph34r - Im not sure exactly, but its somthing like 5-10 times the resolution of shapeways best material, so basically a flawless part with no print lines whatsoever, unless you have a microscope.

@Javin - Yes of course I will have separate arms, but the main format of the Regiments range will be kits consisting of-

Legs
Torsos and arms as a single peice - several different poses
gun with hand already on foregrip, which attaches easily into each torsos
Head.

Making them like this means a basic figure is 4 components, which makes it feasible to hit my target price of £1.50 per miniature for really high detailed resin figures.

@Blackhoot and Barzam - they dont eat much food, takes time away from cult activities..

Cheers guys,

Joel

NEW PRODUCT -

The Medium Bionic legs have prooved popular, but I appreciate they are a pain to assemble, particularly multiple sets!

So here are two brand new options for getting our Bionic legs in a much more convenient format .

First up the "Steam Lord Bionic Leg Conversion Set"

Including Medieval and Praetorian legs with half Bionics, and one fully Bionic pair.




And for people who want a whole unit of uniform looking Cyborgs - the "Cyborg Leg Set"

Five Leg parts (three different poses) with the same combination of bionic parts for each set.

You can add more poses/customise a squad leader using the "Multi Pose Bionic Legs - Medium" product.



Both available now from the store here -

All this in the next 3 weeks? Bloody hell, Joel. How am I supposed to afford all this?

Please put both of these into the "Complete Miniature kit" line. I'll buy 4 more squads at least on top of the other stuff I was planning to get.

Offering pre-set leg poses AND fully modular versions of the same legs is the perfect solution for customers - yay! Hope it's not too much extra work for you, Joel

has there been any news on the larger bionci legs?

I, too, greatly look forward to some larger leg sets - seems a bit unfair that the big guys get bionic arms but no legs

I can't believe I've not noticed this before. Fantastic looking models. Already contemplating what I want to order. A few questions though. Any future plans to do legs in the style of the medieval ones but without the rivets? I'm guessing they're not something I would have trouble scraping off myself so not really a deal breaker.

Along the same lines, for anyone that has them, how hard would it be to remove the stock part from the arm? Since I'd be looking at using these with a certain futuristic sci-fi game, and swapping in the appropriate weapons, I'm worried that the stock part won't look as good with them.

@Derek, I can say from experience that the rivets on the legs slice off no problem, same goes for the stocks. Should be as easy as giving them a quick snip with some clippers and then neatening it up with a knife.

Nobody else on the market provides human-sized hooded heads...

Would it be possible to provide IceSword/MotN's Crowmantian Infantry heads separately?

@scipio - Yes Im going to sort that out, the cyborg legs will be a standard leg option, the bionics will be an "upgrade choice" of sorts.

@Clang - nope not too much effort, though I have to draw the line at some projects/options for the sake of my sanity.

@Sgt.Roadkill and Charax - they will be released along side my larger "Exo Lord" Miniatures, which will fit the large bionics and large shoulder pads I currently sell.
This project is not a current priority though, It will be summer at the earliest, sorry thats not very helpfull!

@Derek - thanks very much! As Commander Cain says, not to much trouble to remove them.

I am soon releasing a more modern looking leg set with no rivets, which you may like the look of.

The Stocks will work with the "other guns" you mention if you cut a bit off the back of the gun, but thats probably the same amount of work as just removing the stocks from the arms. Once the shoulder pad and gun are in place, a lot of that area is covered up anyway even if its not too neat.

@absolutionis - Its certainly posible, but the Crowmantian heads are actually probably to small as they are "true" proportions, so unsuitable for use with heroically scaled miniatures.
My upcoming "Regiments" range will certainly include human scale hooded heads though.

thanks guys! I've had a weekend off work, but Ill be back to the grind tomorrow and will have some new stuff out later in the week.

Cheers,

Joel

love the bonics had a go at making myself some today...As for the jump pack id make the central ring thing bigger than the other 2...
