Well, for a special character and a Marbo counts-as, we really need a futuristic Jack Churchill, that fella makes Rambo look like timid little mouse!

So yes, I would live to see a claymore wielding guy in the command squad!

Just got my order in, must say I'm really amazed at just how awesome these pieces are. Got about 10 laser rifles (could've sworn I ordered only about 7 or 8 but oh well my memory is terrible ) and a bagpiper kit. A couple got bent very slightly in the mail, but they were no problem at all to fix.

Simply put, they look awesome. The bagpiper especially, there wasn't a single piece of flash, and it's been bugging the heck out of me trying to figure out how you pulled that off. The arms are surprisingly flexible, literally and figuratively. A few were slightly to wide, but all I had to do was bend them in a bit and they worked great! I'll have some pics up of my kitbashed stormtroopers using them soon (in my gallery so I don't spam this thread of course )

Awesome product, I'm definitely going to have to order some more soon. Next up is some rough rider arms and those amazing penal legion kits...

You'll be equally impressed with those too!
I just got my Rough Rider and Penal bit in the last 30 days, and I can't gush enough about how great the pieces are!

I have a small collection of "Mad Money" ready to throw as soon as the new releases come out!

I'm thinking of making some guys riding tau gun drones into battle with the lances. Do they mount onto cadian torsos ok?

As with anything I do, it takes forever!
RR are on the backburner, after the Penal Legion trrops.
The Penal torsos go on both the Cadian and Catachan legs quite well.
If you use the older Catachan legs be carefull. The torsos and the legs both
have "belts".

Thanks for the great feedback.

Yep, you'll just need some super glue.

Excellent. As soon as I get some more cash, this is next on my to do list. I just need to save up a bit more cash so I can order all the stuff I want at once.

If you'd like to see how the laser rifles work with greatcoat legs and a "german" style helmet, I've got some pics up of the stormtroopers in my gallery. Sorry they're not painted yet, I'm out of paint at the moment and am trying to get some as soon as possible. They work really well, and the way you made them, they'd probably fit in perfect with any kit that's not a plain old cadian styled armor.

Have you given any thought to making some similar weapons arms for officers with swords, pistols, binoculars, etc.? I think those would sell very well too. I know I was wishing I had some more when I was putting these guys together

Cheers,
Yes, sword and pistol arms are currently on the workbench.

I like the idea of an ogre body guard in this style hope that goes ahead, plus some optional arms with swords, pistols, binoculars any chance of an arm holding a water canister ?

Plus I think you should do some detailing sets pouches, water canisters, rucksacks different styles kited out differently, maybe you could some with bed roles spare boots sword strapped to the side ect.

Have you considered a medic or at least the arms and kit for one ? commissar version to fit into this style of preatorians and scottish kilts styles ?


I also like Commander Cain idea for a Marbo style character.

pllllleeeassssee....

And may I suggest a bugle and/or bugler?!

Rob, aka Col Gravis, has put up a review of Captain Caine!

http://colgravis.blogspot.co.uk/

looks ace!!!! Cannot wait to order.

Commander Caine is a brilliant sculpt.

Victoria, do you have any plans to do other weapons as well as laser rifles? I play GKs rather than Guard, so have more of a need for bolters and storm bolters (or stuff that looks similar to those guns ).

hmm, I wonder if we could get a colour sargent bourne or anything? that would be cool, a stand in for commander kell. did colour sargent's hold banners??

I need to throw money at someone for this, now!
I like it alot! I'd like the option of a helmeted head version, or a loose helmet
to put on the base(dramatic hole through and through I can add!). But who am I
kidding? I'll take one as-is!

Now in shop: Caine, Dress Cap Heads and Victorian Legs
http://victorialamb.com/store.html
Thanks everyone who has been waiting.

Simply amazing!

The options whirling around my head - And I'd promised myself I wouldn't start any more armies

I really don't like these No kidding another great job love them will work perfect for my SP army

Hey Vic

Love your stuff.

Do you have any intention of doing more bundles (like your highland one) or whole kit offers?

Also do you intend to do horses at any point?

thanks and keep up the excellent work

Spank

I have a request for some things to add to your TODO list, please, vic:

* "Sergeant" arms, similar to Cpt Caine's arms, with sword/pistol.
* Arms with empty hands, pointing etc, useful for weapon crew etc.

I would also like to see some tankers in this style and loaders for armouries, this is an area over looked by many manufacturers, maybe some with the red coats of wearing the basic shirt with webbing and without webbing.

So ordered!!!!

Cpt. Caine is suc a characterful fig. The facial expression is ace.

Yay! Update

Caine (heh!) looks amazing, all the little details really set him apart from the crowd.

Do I see multipose Mordian guard? You have just made my day Vic!

@Victoria; Expect an order when you finally do the slouch hats.

Just a PM away here on Dakka: Col.Gravis

Hi, I'm looking at making some more Highland Guard Kilt legs. I am considering making the with the bottom of the jacket out (like worn in WW1) or should I keep them as they are with the kilt fully visible all the way to the belt? Any other kilt wearing comments or suggestions welcome.
Fot those who are socially enabled I have posted this as a poll on facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/VictoriaMiniatures
Cheers,
Vic.

I am extremely interested in seeing this range evolve and would like to see new sculpts. Plus a jacket bottom version would go better with the Captain Caine I plan on cutting in half! For completeness sake, I would prefer the current legs to remain available so I could maintain continuity across my units.

Expand the range indeed please, I think it would give an alternative look and some variation to units nicely, I would also like to see some alternative poses in the arms selections.

Arms holding and throwing grenades, pack carriers flamer with pack, some at ease arms as well maybe one lighting a cigarette with a Zippo would be cool two hands holding his Zippo to his cigarette in his mouth.

Hope this helps also a helmet sprue would be good like the one that came with Caine
