Thanks for the ongoing interest and support. I have come back from a stretch overseas and am finishing up some work contracts.
There a a few greens ready to cast but I have to have enough to make up a mould, It should not be much longer now. I am expanding the Victorian legs to include 4 standing and 2 kneeling. there could also be some Iron Guard shaped items in this upcoming release.
Thanks for your patience.

Greatcoat legs; on the list.

Glad you are back very much missed (although my wallet is sightly heavier) the new releases are sounding great cant wait for those.
4 standing 2 kneeling is great news Iron Guard

Hope you had a nice time on your travels and it was a successful trip, however glad you are back safe and sound and ready to produce more cool stuff

Loving seeing these good quality guard products about and although i can fully appreciate them in my current project i am already planning on expanding both my arbites (using your epic penal legion sculpts) and and Iron warriors/guard army using mashup of your victorian torsos with some other companies great coat legs.... unless ofc you release your own great coat legs first

Yay! Vic is back

Can't wait for new stuff...

I'm curious if anyone here has purchased anything? I would guess yes.
I made a purchase 1 week ago today, and haven't heard a thing from anyone?
Do they just email when your item ships? I'm in no way complaining, just curious.
I get that vic is one super busy person.

Hi, you should have got a receipt from paypal but I don't usually individually email customers to confirm purchases. Yours would have been sent a day or two after it was placed so it should be with you within another week.
Thanks for your order.

Thanks for the info!
I'm not in a huge hurry, so no rush needed on the shipping.
I'm just glad I'll get to eventually have a Rough rider squad!
Any plans on any "large" deals on the Victorian arms, heads & torso sets
similar to the Highlander Guard or even smaller sets like the Penal Guard?

And "Thanks" for all the great work.

All of my orders have been received in the UK within two weeks of the order being placed. No complaints here.

Super fast delivery to the UK with in the 2 week as well, hell my sister sends something from OZ and it gets lost but Vics is always a nock at the door

Well, I feel it's only fair to post that I received my items 10 days after order.
That is truely fantastic! If you live in the USA and have ever ordered from Australia,
you know what I mean.

Everything I ordered arrived safe and sound, with little to no clean up needed it would appear.

Thanks for the first class service Vic!

Now about the Victorian Guard deals....

Hi thanks for the positive feedback. We do our best to get orders out quickly, and replace lost ones.

Speaking of a Victorian Guard pack, how would you guys feel about some pre-assembled one piece figures that could make up a firing line.
eg, 5 guys standing firing + four guys kneeling + one officer with pistol and sword?
So the standing guys would look something like this but a one piece cast.

Any suggestions welcome.

Not to be an irreverent naysayer, but one of the biggest appeal to me of your minis is the modular nature of your individual bits.

Having a complete model is cool and all, but it's limited to only being used as what it is. Give me a bunch of laser rifles with straps, and there are hundreds of possibilities for those bits.

You currently make bits for every part of the Victorian Guard aside from the legs. Why not just make kneeling and standing legs with the appropriately-positioned arms for a firing line?

Cheers, yes I still intend to release all the bits individually. But I was thinking some people might also want some squads that they can create quickly without the hassle of assembly.

I'd love to see what kind of poses you could sculpt, beyond a simple firing line. Having some single piece infantry would be pretty cool though,

If one was building an army then pre-posed minis are a good idea, especially if the price was less than the combined bits (10 heads, 10 legs, etc.).

Save quite a bit of time on assembly and they don't fall apart. Plus if you were to mix 10 set pose with 10 posable you could still get the variety.

I have a Sisters army and even though they are all set poses they look pretty good on the table top. The Victorian Guard would look right with a high percentage of the troops in firing line poses too.

If you're going to sell a set, I wouldnt include too many kneeling

One of the reasons I have not bought any of Warlord's British Zulu War soldiers is because roughly half of the troops are kneeling. Gets a bit boring

Set pose would be cool for army builders quick and convenient, however my self would be more interested in the multi pose design for figure posing.



Although I think a diorama of firing lines could be cool

still waiting for captain cain!!

I think 2 piece sets might be better? One whole body, and then a head? So you can get a bit of variation, instead of the same guy over and over?

I'd sell your officers as separate pieces and just do two sets of five kneeling and five standing... then customers can come up with whatever ratio they want for their armies.

If you're going to sell single-cast pieces, though, I'd expect people would want them to be cheaper than the posable ones.

Any chance we might see meltaguns/plasmaguns? Or would that be erring a little too close to ChapterHouse levels on the 'this is blatantly a GW Product' scale?

I'm more inclined towards kilted Victorian Guard version (but that's more my inner Jock surfacing) but would definitely consider a trousered version.

Thanks for all the work and good service so far.

My opinion of the one piece trooper would be maybe leave it so you could swap heads, but I'd be inclined to get 2 sets of a "firing line" stance.
I would actually like the kneeling look mixed with the standing as well.

Female Victorian Sci-fi trooper heads, arms, and torsos would be great too.

Great news how long before the future releases ? just so I can order all together

Plus had a quick look at store worked fine for me, but then I have not bought anything YET!!!!

Never seen sci-fi bagpipes before! Awesome sculpt

Loving the bagpipe, as ever.

Thanks for the comments, the next release could still be a few weeks off.
In the meantime here's an upcoming preview: New heads, work in progress. Should I keep the winged skull badge, or change it to something else?
Thanks, V

I would keep a set with and do an alternative set

I will have to make a small order now then , cant wait weeks

Small order sent

Great sculpts!
Bit OT here, but can i just say,I first saw your work, an ogre kingdoms army, in the first white dwarf i ever got (i was about 11 i think) And it was a inspiration. Then i saw your diorama that made slayer sword, the one with the ridiculously good lighting effects and the woman being saved by other women (wow, terrible description). That just blew me away. You should defiantly put these in the Dakka gallery!
Great to see you skills do not only lie in painting.
Kudos to you!

I for one really like the winged skulls.
