I really like those heads, but the skull icons look a tad rough to me. It could easily just be how large the photo is though.

Are you also going to produce a torso with shoulder epaulettes that may match these heads? (I had to Google the word epaulette, i've just always called them shoulder tassels... )

Nice sculpts, I'm sure there will be a place for them in many armies

Very cool heads Vic. My vote would be to keep the skull badges.

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!


Fire and Ice is one of my favorite pieces ever. Wow that ebay auction was crazy.

Victoria, you are a true talent and an asset to the hobby. I am anxiously awaiting the next release before I place a nice hefty order.

Anyone else noticed a "wonky" issue with the webpage?

Vic, awhile back you teased about upcoming ANZAC/Chindit-style heads - are those still in the pipeline?

And any chance of getting short-sleeve/rolled-up sleeve arms or short trouser legs?

Those rifles are awesome! I'm ordering about 10 of them and a bagpiper kit (because seriously, who doesn't want one of those??!??!) and I can't wait. I'm making some greatcoat style troopers, and combining Max Mini's legs and german heads with your awesome guns will make a perfect fit. I still haven't found a good choice for torsos though...

May use the victorian torsos, as I think they would make an interesting fit. Only problem is the large suspenders don't look very German... Oh well, I can always order em next time! I'll probably be ordering small amounts of guns off you a lot, so I'll have next time to get some!

Any idea on how long it is till your greatcoat legs are out? I'd love to have some variety with my guys and if your greatcoat legs are half as good as the rest of your stuff, they'll look amazing. Thanks for the awesome bitz and an actual sane price for them! I don't exactly have a ton of cash, but your stuff is really easy to afford and helps me tons.

I've been looking for a company that offers heads that have that kind of officer hat, and had a shockingly hard time finding any that didn't also have the Krieg style gas masks. I think the skulls look fine, but would probably prefer a blank option as it would work better with the project I have in mind.

Awesome work though, and I look forward to see what other stuff you come up with.

Someone needs to make this immediately! If I wasn't already commiting to a german styled army, I would do this in a heartbeat. It deffinitely helps that they sell bundles to do just that! Probably wouldn't be anymore than just buying standard GW guardsmen actually....

Crap, now I have to start saving up for a THIRD army of guardsmen

Hi, thanks for the great feedback. greatcoat legs (4 standing 2 kneeling ) are on the list after the Victorian legs.
Vic, awhile back you teased about upcoming ANZAC/Chindit-style heads - are those still in the pipeline?

Yes but a way down the list, so are rolled sleeves.
Also looking at doing some arms with shoulder boards (fringe). But I want to release some plain arms with different weapons first.

I am hoping that the next release (Victoria Legs etc). will be out around the end of the month.

If these legs are anywhere near your regular quality, you'll be my hero for having both variety and quality.

I'm a little sad to hear that they won't be coming sooner, but considering that I'm trying to hold out until 6th Ed comes out to see how I want to configure my next army, I can definitely wait.

Thanks for your work on these. I look forward to seeing your designs for arms carrying "different weapons".

I can't wait either. It'll definitely make ordering stuff easier on me, as almost everything I order will just come from one place. Are you planning on doing greatcoat torsos too, or were you just going to use the victorian torsos with them?

The Victorian Torso will work with the greatcoat. There is also another torso coming out with the next release.
I am open to suggestions for torsos and heads to go with greatcoats. I was thinking Russian winter style heads would be a start?

You know one thing that has been oddly missing from various bits manufacturers are hooded heads. Whether useful for evil-cultist-types or Machine-cult-types, it would be rather interesting.

This is an interesting idea. I don't think I've ever seen a hooded head sprue, although there might be a reason for that. I'd imagine it'd be tough to do, but if anyone could pull it off, you can.

I always liked open faced helmets, since everyone does the WWII German helmet with gasmask these days. Heck, even plain helmets would stand out, but doing some with stuff like camo netting or battle damage would be awesome. I also like the idea of Russian winter heads, even if I wouldn't use them, as it'd give people the option to field a proper valhallan army once again. The problem with trenchcoats is you don't exactly see a lot of variety, it's either steel helmets, winter esque heads, or hoods. Not that they look bad, but I've only seen so much one can do with them.

Regardless, I'm sure whatever you pick will look great. Keep up the great work!

All this is sounding great and if you are open for suggestions can I throw my hat in with these :

I would love to see some kind of cavalry along the lines of these maybe in the future.
