Sometimes these minis do seem to come along as printed versions you can buy (perhaps Malika can advise) but in the meantime you could try these guys who have a list of printing services. I have only used one so far (Mighty Minis) for some buildings, which came out pretty nicely, but haven't tried any of the others yet https://grimdarkterrain.com/

Also, have got a whole guide here around getting miniatures for Epic (amongst other stuff) if that is any use to you https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/751316.page


Perfect thanks for the help!

Cheers! I really do hope that Vanguard Miniatures will get their print farm up and running (rather sooner than later) so that they can sell the printed versions of these. There is also some talks to have 3mm versions of these done so that they'd fit with Vanguard Miniatures 3mm ambitions.

Still a big mystery. Last I've heard was that John was busy printing a bunch of them. So I guess there might be a few of them available soonish?

I really hope they will encourage John to commission bigger Striders in that same aesthetic, and of course plenty of weapon variants (even ones that currently aren't directly covered in Titanicus).

The plastic Questoris kit is nice as it is, but yeah it'd be better just dropping the mostly redundant avenger cannon and including more Battle and Thermal cannons, instead.

Hey chaps John here I remembered I had an account here and thought I'd drop in, I see Malika has been keeping you all up to date something I am most grateful for.

More and larger walkers are going to happen yes, we have a few under development now as it happens, more news on these as we have something worth showing.

Many thanks for the continued interest guys/gals appreciated.

I hope to be able to offer more printed product later this year, trying to organise a print service with someone I know. He would be printing products for me as well as possibly a bespoke printing service, but that part will be subject to how things go.

So yes I think printed versions of many of the files we are offering will be happening eventually.

I have plenty more files to put up in store as the year progresses, from existing designers as well as new designers who have been expressing interest in vanguard hosting their models.

New Eloi warmachines!!!

Eloi Federation – Savage Banshee Detachment



The Eloi Federation makes use of a great many battle walker designs, fast, graceful and with incredible agility in comparison to our own battle striders, they are potent and deadly war machines.

This particular design is one of the most prolific machines fielded by Eloi battlegroups, Banshee’s operate in units of three with a piloted command unit and what appears to be two linked drones working in concert, although fully piloted combat teams have also been observed.

Armaments, two melee weapons held in left and right hand (sword/axe), each forearm also mount a light pulse laser, and two shoulder mounted medium rail cannon.

Set contains:

3 x Savage Banshee models.

Notes:
1. Resin printed multipart models with some modelling options
2. Approximate height, 67mms to top of “wing”
3. Plastic bases not included

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/eloi-federation-savage-banshee-detachment/

It might not be, considering current GW is likely to release BFG the way Lenny releases a cute, little mouse.
