ah ok good will think of using one for a skull cannon conversion

Happy to announce the release of our grandest kit yet...the Gideon Main Battle Tank.











Lot's more info and LOTS more to look at over at our WEBSTORE

That is an excellent looking vehicle. I'm assuming its roughly the same footprint of a GW Leman Russ?

The only complaint I'd have is a lack of not-Plasma gun option, but I'm sure I could jury rig something up.

Definitely on my radar, especially if there's more in a similar vein to come, say for not-chimeras and not-basilisks or not-manticores.

Very cool though, resin looks super crisp.

Yes

Other weapon options will be made available in due time

Plans for both have already begun

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response, and all favourable to boot.

Keep on keepin' man, I'll keep an eye on this for more.

Omg Mad, confirming plans to produce a line of tanks that follow this theme and are great stands in has made my day! The Gideon looks magnificent so I can only excitedly wait for the others! Awesome job

If you will be making not-chimeras, will there be any chance of wheeled not-chimeras? Especially ones that can be converted to make wheeled not-hellhounds?

THIS

We'll see what happens with the next designs. I invested a pant-load into the side pieces of the tank so I was hoping to use those as the base for building new/variant hulls.

Still a ways off, but if someone wants to get creative with a pencil, let's see some design ideas

You mean other vehicles, re-using the side bits from the Gideon (track and wheels and mudguards and hull sides)? An APC not-Chimera version would seem very doable, for starters. Could also be good for counts-as marine vehicles, e.g. a not-Vindicator.

@Clang: Correct, the middle hull is built like a shell that fits between the 2 sides. I can easily make changes to that, widen it or lengthen it, to make it into an APC or mobile artillery platform. As far as other uses...that is up to the end user

Tank looks ace, but $85 is just way too rich for my blood.

Don't get me wrong, I want 20 of them, just maybe for a bit less. I'd even be willing to pay a premium to a certain megacorporate competitor.

Oh wow, it's gorgeous! Do you have plans to release the turret on its own?

@Chef: If you want 20, send me a pm and we'll discuss it.

@MacMuckles: Yes, in another week or so.

that looks great with all the variant weaponry and the hints at more vehicles to come made my day

Friday thru Sunday night...

I've already spent my monthly hobby allocation :(

Got x3 5 man squads of the excellent apocalypse raiders for this is not a test, very nice

Today we announce the release of a second wave of parts for our popular CDF line.

Heavy armored troops is the main focus of this release, along with some officer arms, female heads,and a few other choice bits











Lots more is available now over at our WEBSTORE All of these new parts are available as options in our CDF squad builder, as well as available individually.

That two-handed side arm is awesome!

Is it safe to assume it is comprised of two arm bits and a separate pistol?

@darktraveller: afraid not, it's all one piece. But the gun is trimable to replace if you like.

This is the REAL 'carapace armor'. and thus the original CDF don 'Flak class' cuirass. correct?

@Lone Cat: That's a good way to look at it Also, your puttee legs are coming next

Even better! I sometimes struggle with three-point bonds so having that arm set as one piece will save some frustration. Well done!

Make sure that it looks like the late- 19th century - First world war - WW2 asian soldiers sir.

@Lone Cat: Lol, they will be close.


Thought I'd share a few more pics from the latest batch of new releases.
