Helmets look nice, not to my personal tastes but still awesome work as always. Definetly gonna be big among the nurgle lovers. Honestly I'm anxious to see some of those new pre heresy shoulder pads I spotted on here a while ago, not the thunder armor ones, the layered ribbed ones.

All of the helmets look really nice!

I like these helmets a lot, I've purchased a couple of your vehicle upgrade kits before and they were great. Any idea how these heads would look or fit on Terminator armor? Of course I'd probably have to cut the spikes off

Will there ever be more (better) female IG heads? Or any other IG gear? You guys have shown how good you are with nids and SM but your IG offering was sort of... well...

The heads are in the works right now, as well as torso concepts.

I would like to say that Torsos may be slightly unnecessary considering bits sites online sell Space Marine torsos of Mk5-7 armor for around 0.50 USD.

Personally, I would love to see Mk8 armor, but in spite of your designers' superb skills thus far, I am skeptical if you can get Mk8 or any armor to fit the current GW aesthetic.
Perhaps some really deviant armor may be nice, but it would be nice to keep this in consideration.

I was referring to female IG torsos

Guess he was talking about female IG torsoes, fitting the female IG heads he was referring to

Chapter

First a big up - received the genestealer heads yesterday and they are great, especially loved the ones with the open mouths. Bought them for my lads birthday, he's building a nid army from scratch for his birthday and was really chuffed that his ymargl's will be unique

Second - How's the jetseer/warlock coming on, I am chomping at the bit for these. prices and preorder dates required

third - do you have anymore eldar bits in the pipeline?


Will post some pics of the stealers once painted


cheers

Glad he liked them

News on the seerbikes, molds are made, production is beginning, we are looking at a $15-17 price range for the kits (with tons of bits). I think its a good price, consider GW charges 20$ for a metal character simple sculpt, this one will have many bits for the bike and the riders.

I recieved the Female Farseer on foot yesterday, Its a NICE sculpt, with sword and spear right arms, and "energy ball" or palm out left arms. This will be molded soon and up for release as well, price range 14$ or so.

Hate to be a pester, but I'm getting excited about the heads/jumppacks/shoulders I ordered, any idea approx when the jump packs will be shipping out for order numbers over 800 and under 900?

cheers for the update

put me down for at least one, I don't suppose there will be spare legs and arms etc to build the three torso's up?

to buy separately I mean


hmmm female farseer, got a seer council to paint may wait now, pics would be nice


again really pleased with heads, my congrats to the sculpter

Relax. I haven't gotten mine yet either, and I'm toward the bottom of the 800s.

Ill list which ones ship out once they are in the mail tommorow.

Hey can we post ideas of things we would love to see sculpted here?

The female IG torsos aren't going to be overtly sexualized, are they?

Shoo, post good art and we will see what we can do.. ideas are like bung-holes.... good concept art is like gold..

What, so you'd like some good concept art for IG torsos?


I'm trying not to laugh, since female torsos are right up there in things I'm commissioned to draw, sexualized or otherwise.

And in defense of sexualized: if they're catachans (or tankies), there's going to be some cleavage.

Cadians, valhallans, Talleran, not so much.

Yes please! Shoot me an email if you want to help us out - nick@chapterhousestudios.com

BTW Orders up to PO# 709 are shipped with Jumppacks, everything is is way ahead (boneswords, whips and alien heads are well on the way to being caught up). We have 3 molds of jetpacks in production now.

Ok, give me a day or two and I'll get on it. Not sure how the next few days will play out.

You may want to have a look, how "tins bitz" http://www.battlefield-berlin.de/shop/index.php?list=WG934 , Shadowforge http://www.battlefield-berlin.de/shop/index.php?list=WG1078 and Dr. Death over at Warseer made these.

BTW, how about concepts of female Tau fire warriors and Eldar guardians. And you should not do upper bodies only, like GW does.

... I bought some shadowforge ones. I would prefer that if I do draw these, they're modeled to a higher standard then that. The ones I got from SF look Ok from the angle their photographed at, but have some serious deformations and loss of detail. tins bitz's heads are ok. they're not great, the barrette one looks squashed laterally.

I was looking more at how DarkSoul did them for TPC. They were a head/torso/leg set, that by and large was OK. The heads had serious quality control issues, but the bodies fit together well and required a minimum of greenstuff to make look good.

Yeah,

I heavily persued Dark Soul and tried to find Dr. Thunder (he is gone from the scene). I was quickly told by DS that he owns the molds and refuses to let anyone else do anything with them (as far as I know hes not casting them either). Maybe it was just me but he was very much short with his reply.

Disappointing, as that means starting at step one, but I guess we can do it better then it was done.

Well, the moulds were done under an official agreement with GW that they are a limited release just for the people who signed up. So he is not allowed to make recasts, as he has told people for maybe 3 years now (explains the short answer )

Ah, now see, that would have been a great answer

I am surprised GW had any input, they arent copied of anything, though they look like cadians, that isnt exactly an original uniform.

The project people asked GW if it is okay, GW didn't approach them on its own.

Yeah, DS isn't a very happy camper. Apparently some people at warseer have been continuously sending people his way to ask him for the female cadian minis. I have about 20 left still on the sprues, but I've had offers as high as 200 dollars for them.

I haven't heard from Doc since TPC's site got hacked. He's been AWOL since then, at least.

Better yet, how about something NOT marine related for a change... Maybe Tau or Eldar
