Except those ones have the best Ripper gun design that GW ever produced. I'm assuming Bob was behind it, but it's also possible someone else sculpted the original weapon and it was simply used in his sculpts?

I have to ask I know the head,torso and legs are yours and the arms are GW but is the gun yours ?

Wow! The gun is nice!

@lone dirty dog: Yes, the gun is ours - part of still unreleased set .

@lone dirty dog: have to admit I haven't logged in here for months. It is due to training courses I've mentioned .
As for the custom options of the heads - I've send yo a pm. I think that Mati will be able to help - he has taken over such custom requests while I'm off getting new skills (3-4 months and the training will end) .

In a meantime - fists have been reprinted and went to production:


We also have a couple of full miniatures waiting for release. I've just got some first metal casts from Mati - I should be able to share soon .

They look amazing, can't wait till they are added to the online store.

And would there be a dedicated arm set for that rifle, or would users have to sculpt a set themselves? I've found that other company's existing arms don't fit that style of stock too well without a little cutting and resculpting work. The possibility of you producing some would be appreciated (a set compatible for the bullpup rifles would be fine too), as would it mean people could build soldiers entirely from your parts.

Anyhow, I may belay my latest order a bit to wait for those rifles to be release. ^^'

Ha now you mention it totally, good call, mind you the gun needs changing, don't think Maxmini would like that

@ Maxmini I found that ages ago so when were you going to release it then ? Also what happened to the bionic boar found pics of that being used as well ?

Are you holding out on us, is this some kind of punishment also still waiting on the mini grot tank

Just saw the tank from a few pages ago. Looks pretty good, although I've had my fill of gothic personally

The arms are great, too. Jury is still out on the space ogre for me, I think the weapons definitely need work, as mentioned.

Any word on if/when that KV tank is going to get produced?

The Fist in the middle look like the gauntlet of War in Darksiders, i like that!

@Mad4Minis: KV2 will take a while longer. There's a chance I'll get some sort of pre-release sets added to the webstore.

In a meantime - Boonie Heads have been released

How do we get our name down for a pre release then

Also I contacted Mati and I think from the last email he was contacting you ? not sure as to what is happening but I will wait and see.

@lone dirty dog: if I remember correctly Mati is waiting for info from you which items exactly would you like

BTW - see , it's worth to wait. As promised here's first of the orcy goodness that we're currently working on:

OCC.... Ork County Chopper!

@Gitsplitta: No, no, no. You are wrong. These are definately Orcs of Anarchy!

Presuming that's scaled to be suitable for a biker warboss, I think you'll be selling quite a few

Hmm, the bike is relatively 'sensible', and could suit non-orcs too - perhaps consider making some alternate riders? (Or even just heads - that torso would be suitable for many races just by changing the paintjob...)

That thing is too cool. What is he dong with his right arm behind his back though?

if they did a version of it with goblin riders, i'd pick up a goodly number

I think it is half an arm so you can chose what "hand" you want to assemble it with, and then you've got his open shirt blowing in the wind so it appears that it is hiding his arm.

I did send him the picture minus the heads that I did not want, he said he received it but needed to talk to you so I have no idea mate maybe i should drop him another email

Now that chopper is frigging amazing you have gone back to the good stuff, I can see an order growing here with these a plenty

Mind you I agree with greenskin lynn we need some goblin bikers for sure

I think it's perfectly in character for an Orc to scratch it's butt.....

Hard to tell if the biker in the picture is "Boy" sized or "Nob" sized or "Warboss" sized.

If the Biker himself if Nob sized, you'd be able to make quite a bit by selling the biker by himself without the bike. Of course you'd need to build the biker so that he would fit certain "28mm miniatures". I love the biker, and the heads look good. Need to see how he looks astride the bike to really judge.

I have to say though I'm not a fan of the bike. It's too clean and smooth, the front tire looks weedy. Again, I'm not sure about scale, but this bike looks like it's smaller than the GW bikes it would likely accompany. There's no huge exhaust mounts. Most importantly, there's no DAKKA on the thing! It's just not Orky enough.

I'd give you an A for the Biker - I'd buy some of him.

D for the Bike. Needs improvement.

Just my green-skinned opinion. I love the fact that you're making a biker though.

@Murrdox: I did not want the bike to be overdetailed as I imagine that orc modellers would want to customize it by themselves. There's always more weapons, bits on the sprues .
As for an orc - he is definietely larger than ordinary trooper.
I'll assemble the prototype and will post a photo so you'd be able to see how the parts work with each other better .


I've added Space Ogre to the webstore:

I've decided to add a kit of 3 as well - it makes sense IMO .

gotta ask you ... is the helmeted head maybe available so that we could order it for a whole set to each space ogre of the three model set? (sorry...crappy grammar^^)

As usual - if you type that in the comments field during checkout we should be able to work it out .
