Completely different. That kit is literally a conversion made of Leman Russ tank parts, recast. Chapterhouse makes from scratch add-ons for GW models.

And that variant Leman Russ? Very nice as well!

Now there's a tank! Shame about them getting shut down...

Alpharius - as a Alpha legion supporter, Im surprised at you! Im keeping an eye on this Sally stuff specifically for my sneaky Alpha chosen! Ive got the Forgeworld LR doors, and am seriously considering greenstuffing scales (as Im not good enough to freehand paint the scales) all over the landraider (like I am my chosen) - these track guards would be a sweet addition!

Chaos it up a bit - golden!

Good idea... what would you guys think of me forming a kit for sale that has the Iron Snake Serpent rhino front and the Salamander Scales for the rhino, sorta of a adhoc Alpha Legion kit?

OK I cant help it.. I need to post what Tom just emailed me... hes finished the hard part on the Wolf round Shield and he has the basics done for the new Drop Pod armor (we will haev wolf icons on this and use it as a template for more kits later).

If you produce that shield you will FORCE me to buy one for every model I own. I order you to stop at once before I'm broke. Looking forward to seeing what kind of "Viking" bits you come up with.

Pretty sweet looking stuff, loving that shield.

Tempt me not Wolves!

Well, I cant speak for anyone else, but whilst this sounds good, ive already got the forgeworld doors for a rhino & a LR, so I would probably just look for the specific components I wanted (the Snake Rhino hatch)... depending on the price of course!

This is some quality sculpting tho - top work.

YES! That shield is the awesomesauce.

I really like that shield. It's probably a little too purely taken from actual Celtic art for GW, but I think it's amazing.

ugh i hate that term celtic art ¬.¬,

But yeah very good

Dont forget, we will be sculpting wolfy stuff on that shield and probably use it as the base shield for other chapters as well.

(whoever said it) Im not a GW spy, my names dan and my bday is on 22nd - thus Dan22. I signed up to this forum because ive just recently produced a range of my own scratch built 28mm models and i was just interested to learn more about how to keep all of my designs legitimate (i know that this isnt the place for professional legal advice). However your from US and im from UK so the laws different, im not a lawyer im simply interested to follow the developments of these posts.

These are being molded as we speak, we have I-VI Tactical Arrow Pads, VII-X are Devestator and Assault Pads, Im looking foward to removing all my decal Squad pads from my Salamanders


Nick

These I would buy many, many, many of.

To Chapterhouse ,

Can I suggest that you sell a plain version of that celic shield just the way it is ? While detailing with wolfish / runic iconography is also great, providing a "plain" version allows for the buyer to customize as they wish, too. I know I'd buy both ... and in bulk !!!

Thanks

I agree with Myrthe, I would like mine just as they are so I can freehand some runes or icons in the center to give my model an individual looking shield.

Will do, we planned on making them as they are for our future works, not too hard to show them on the website for sale

So.. when should we expect those neat layered shoulder pads and the layered rhino armour kits for sale?

I think the pads would make really neat assault squad pads. The rhino armour also looks like a really neat idea for extra armour.

(If its confusing, I'm talking about the shoulder pads and armour plates from the first page of this thread)

They are molding this week, I think they will be on the way to my mailbox next week, at that point ill bite the bullet and take unpainted pictures and list them on the site (I rather paint them up though ).

Chapterhouse wrote:I think we can do that, Tom?

After a second look, I realize that the Lascannons have a top cover, but the Redeemer flamers have a rear 'cover' backing them instead of top cover. I'm not sure how interesting the sponson backing would be, but insteaed perhaps a 'dragons head' over the flamer head itself? Additionally, dragon-head pieces to go over the Marine TacSquad flamers would be excellent as well - I believe theres an image of them in the Salamanders' Index Astartes entry in WD 274 (273 US), and the article also appears in Index Astartes 4 (not sure if all the images are present in Index Astartes 4 though).

Any plans for Chaos in the future?

Yay! I think I'll hold off my order until then. I'll be looking forward to them. Any idea how much the rhino plates will be?

Just wanted to pop in and say that I've bought some of your shoulderpads before CH, and they're just as awesome as I thought they would be.

Keep up the good work.

Chaos is Tricky, first I dont play them and niether does Tom so we dont reallyhave an idea of whats needed or what people want. Second alot of the Chaos Icons are historical but many are GW created, so we cant do much with those unfortunately.
Third, Forge World has done a pretty good job on chaos in my opinion so again I dont know what we could offer to the masses that isnt already out there.

The Armored ones that I showed in the first photos? Im not sure, it all depends on the production cost, I am thinking 10-15$ price range for resin.

Thanks, the bravos and good works really help, I am taking it slow and steady and while I dont get paid any from this, I am not putting money in either, so its a labor of love and luckily doesnt affect my finances

Nick

What about non-MEQ bitz? I've been dying for you guys to try your hand at space elves... I even made an e-mail submission on your website!

Welll... Icons? W are thinking about those but are tyring to finish up the projects on the table now. Believe me, when we are done with the current stuff, Ill be asking for ideas on the boards and sifting through those.

Nick

What about shoulderpads with more flames, skulls and/or wings iconography? There are a huge amount of chapters that use those as icons (Sons of Medusa, Angels exemplar, Angels Malevolent, Angels of Fire, etc) For those of us that don't have good "fine detail" painting skills (or good luck with transfers) these would be a great help.

the land raider kit looks absolutely fantastic guys...
ill be getting on for sure

any hopes for a deathwing (or even just dark angels) kit or similar stature in the future?
or any dark angels at all?

If you look at "Tom-"s post you will see a grim reaper, angel of death that would go well with Dark Angels.

Beyond the Dark Angels Icon, which we cant really touch, what else would be a good theme for them?

I think you will see quite a few thinks like wings, skulls and flames in the near future. I have to remind Tom that sometimes people just want the simple stuff, no flamking skulls, just a regular old skull

Nick

I think a variety of grim reaper style angels with various weapons and poses work. I want to see one holding a broken sword stabbing a demon thing. I think that would make for a nice allusion.

There are rumors of Blood Angels after Tyranids... any plans for the other angels? Blood drops, challices, and more archangel looking angels seem to be their imagery.

"Third, Forge World has done a pretty good job on chaos in my opinion so again I dont know what we could offer to the masses that isnt already out there. "

In all seriousness you can offer reasonable prices, good quality products and excellent customer service. Something FW dramatically fails at.
