My sister knows a little about web design I'll ask her how hard it would be to knock something up

Pure. Unbridled. Joy.

What's funny?

Innuendo, sorry mind is in the gutter

Ahh ha sorry didn't recognise the smut... LOL

I got it Vit I got it.

Love the stuff as always. Can not wait to see what you guys come up with next!

I didn't find it that funny until i saw 'web design.'

A cool effect I have seen with photos is the non-important stuff in black and white and then the focus in colour, this is really cool, and would help I think. I like the look of the roads as well.

May things to consider, I like the idea of an in use image with some Photoshop action going on!

You'd have to use Flash/Flex to create a little app like that; it might be possible with html5, but I've not looked too far into that yet as I've been too busy with work :/
It'd probably cost a couple of grand to get it done professionally; so return on investment... probably not that great at the moment. I'd suggest just creating a few different layouts in photoshop and selling packs...far cheaper and much more reliable too.

Yeah I think that's how we'll be doing it for a while yet

Just done a massive photoshoot for the barricade upgrade set, so all being well it will be up on the webstore for pre-order the end of this week! About time too, it's been 90% ready for like 7 months now!

Sorry to be a pest but... does that update include the elevated roads and noodle shop too?

Will you ever start doing Orkish terrain? What about more eldar?

Ed's busy on the instructions for the roads now the model's finalised (minus a bit of engraved detail), I'll be on the noodle bar instructions as soon as we have this barricade stuff out the way! both products should be ready next month.

As for orks, what sort of terrain do ork players want to buy? It always seemed to us you'd juts hammer terrain together out of anything, but if there's something ork players are clamouring for we can certainly take a look at it!

Harry

Well I would think of walls, abodes, towers etc. Icons are nice as well. Considering that even if they can throw things together your works plus ork stuff equals not only profit for you but an EXTREME customization ability for people who get multiple kits.

Same with DE, eldar, necrons, and tau stuff. Sadly not tyranid stuff though.

how about some orkish metal frame structures like girder towers.....

yeah girders!

I really want to make girders!

Hey Steve, you still playing Battlefield 3?! I have your name badge thing I made many moons ago sat under my monitor - kind of come accustomed to it myself

Ed

Can you comment on our wish for a modern/infinity/Tau inspired green transparent base providing fake teactical information, either in the structured circle (see Infinity background) or as a radar screen (see also page 39):

Ummm no I have never played Battlefield 3 the G36c is my favorite airsoft gun... do you want to send me a paypla invoice for postage... I have been waiting on my desk/gun/name badge for many months

Do i detect sarcasum? Smells like sarcasum....

Kroot, we should try and come up with some sort of design together since we are both looking do do something similar. Then we could just commission them as we need to, cost are the same as ordering the 'stock' versions if you do the design yourself(correct me if i'm wrong guys).

No sarcasm, a generic girder construction set is actually something we've talked about quite often!

We've already done some bases quite similar to what you're talking about, we did a set of yu jing bases for a guy (and have another commission which we really need to get done...), and I've used bases along those lines for my Ariadna. I have some Military Order almost painted that I want to give some super sexy bases to, either in mirror or frosted green.

Yeah cost is the same if you can prepare the artwork, also there's a much higher chance of it actually getting done as we don't have much time to fit commissions in nowadays :(

Do you plan on getting into markers? I know tau, necrons, vehicles, etc would LOVE markers that looked amazing and not along the GW lines. Hell you could even do a personalized (per each person) assault / los measure thing (its 1x6x2x4) You would make easy money off that if people can have a picture/name on one of those.

and what about my name plaque??? you did promise to send it to me months and months ago?

yeah blame Ed for that one

Sorry Ed

Will we be seeing some cool new fortress upgrade photos tomorrow when the pre-orders go up?

Yeah, although they're all variations on this!

I'm most likely not the first person to say this, but that would make some amazing Infinity terrain. Great job, keep up the good work! If only I had access to a CNC again...

Haha, yes it would.

How big of a CNC are you using to cut them?

Love the double height fortress
