Hah, and here I was thinking I was the only one wishing this.

On that note, how do they compare to Guardsmen? Are they more Space-Marine-bulky? I notice you put it on a 30mm Lipped base.

If the line does well enough I will make some greatcoat legs

There are two shots with a metal guardsman... not sure how they compare to the plastic? They are thinner than the GW over-sized dwarf proportions... On the up side, If you use these as your only guard models on the table your SM will look more like a true scale SM due to the bulk difference

He's got size comparison shots on the blog

So when will these be available for purchase if you didn't pre-order and what are we looking at price-wise?

I'd love to pick up some of these to use for my para-drop platoon in Secrets of the Third Reich.

That's seriously shiny. Looking forward to my package

For those who didnt check out the blog:

I'm afraid they'd be too big compaired to Cadians?
But they would make some wicked IG Stormtroopers!

Oooh, very nice. Reminds me of Jin Roh for some reason.

I'd say a bit taller, like a little bit looking at how tall the trooper is to the modern space marine

But thinner

I received my troopers today. I can't wait to get started on building them .

Got off the phone with the caster today.... I already have the first article cast and a built 5.5" mini-me but I have been delaying posting anything due to my caster inability to stick to deadlines

When he delivers the first 50 out of the 100 ordered I'll post them up for a gander.

Now you really have my attention. The troops are cool, but Im deep into a fantasy project...however there is always time for big robots.

NoseGoblin, I missed out on the kickstarter, and was wondering if there will be any opportunity to order these models in the future?

I cast a /little/ too and man its hard to get the motivation to get the job done sometimes! Really looking forward to it.
In the wait ive picked up 3 dreadknights off of good deals, so, not sure what I'll be doing with those! XD

Yep, I hope to list them for sale to everyone before the end of this month... I'm just trying to figure out what shopping cart software to integrate, because Paypals inventory tracking and shopping cart leave a lot to be desired.

Yay! I look forward to giving you my money.

I hope some of those kickstarter packages come back in the future. I would definitely invest my money in the top tier one if I had a job (which will hopefully be soon).

Also, any idea when the other 3 Leviathans might be expected? I wants me an Azazel :3

Just got my platoon in the mail too. nice clean casts but man there are alot of parts. still I'm very happy with what I see and I just started to assemble them

Pretty fugging sweet.

Probably because it's really obviously inspired by it? It's not exactly a subtle resemblance. Not a bad thing though, these figs look really nice.

Mmmmmm, tempting to see that built 5.5" one!

For myself the timing is unfortunate, as I had to commit to different models since it was an army for Adepticon that I had hoped to use them for (I now have it assembled and am about to start painting).

Still looking forward to seeing them, though! I think they will sell like hotcakes, if you can get the inventory.

They look like the German troopers are a knock off from this movie,Iron Sky.

Wow...my expectations were pretty low of the model, but this really kicks ass!

Your both wrong, The design came to me when I burned a piece of toast. What I saw there, was either the head of a saint or an Eisenkern Sturmtruppen. I settled on the latter

Maybe you can buy the gaming rites to the movie.

So these are metal? Impressive sculpting, but a let down.

ok having assembled about 12 models (out of 40, platoon) two things come to mind.

1st these are gorgeous models when assembled. clean casts the right size for my needs at least. the anti tank team with tripod in particular looks very nice.

2nd I haven't cursed so much in a long time. I love miniatures in 1 piece because because I don't have to assemble them. these buggers...to put it nicely are a challenge to assemble. the advice you gave about gluing the gun arm on first, not always the best idea, the flat surface were the arm and torso meet always seems to have a gap. thankfully the shoulder pads cover the gap up.

All those pieces do have a nice advantage no two models look alike. I like that. these models look terrific when fully assembled. it's just a bear to get to that point.

I just assembled a squad and command squad and found the problem.... My apologies for the frustration I have caused you. There should not be gaps of any kind!

Some of the arms were not properly matched Left to Right on the sprue.... This affects all hip fired weapons. The correct arm for the hip fired weapons is the one that is sprued with the AT-RPG.

Furthermore the arms that are currently sprued with the hip fired weapons is the correct arm for the AT-RPG.

I think this error happened at the digital printers, he did not group the correct left and right and the caster simple sprued up the pieces he was given.

I will have the spincaster make me a bunch of correct left arms for your hip fired weapons and get the replacements out ASAP.

All the best,
Mark-

Now that is service! Also saddened I have no need for these guys, they look darn pretty!
