Nice Mark, looks smooth!

**miniholic**

Comps! The page looks really great!

**shasolenzabi**

Very nicely laid out, I can't wait to visit it for the Hanomags! and some alternate weapons for my Crusader.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

@nose goblin while your popping in any progress on the 15mm capacitor coolers and excaliburs? Would be nice to hear they are on the move before Chinese New Year gets in the way.

**Theophony**

Looks good mark, only thing I would change/add would be a subcategory for the 15mm leviathans. Once the weapons come out o he mini I could see some people accidentally getting the wrong things because they o just by the picture.

Just waiting on confirmation. Last I heard, everything has been run and is ready to go. Just waiting on WGF US to get the web request online.

Agreed, once I have more available I will move them into their own collection.

@nosegoblin thanks sounds like great news to me

**Yonan**

Is the Dreamforge forum gone, down, or am I just missing the new location?

The test sprues for 15mm Mortis and APC from the update looked good! <3 DFG/WGF plastic.

**inqscott**

Waiting with baited breath to see the heavy troopers !!!!

**Theophony**

At first I thought he was pulling our leg with the 15mm Mortis pics, trying to pass the bigger one off for it. I bought the larger one a week ago and the spruces look just as good as the larger spruces. Well done as usual mark.

**Bolognesus**

Sprues, not spruces. These buggers are big, but not tree-sized

**Alpharius**

There's an update with pictures out there somewhere?!?

**Yonan**

Yep!

Spoiler:

**shasolenzabi**

Awwww yeah! Hannies on the way!!

**Theophony**

Spruces came up because I'm at work on my cell, my iPad is fixed for gaming gargon. (Also these mOdels make me happy) Don't get to excited by the ban okay renders, those are just the test pieces. Mark said there's more work to be done on them like texturing the roof. I'd copy and paste the email but my phone sucks at that. Maybe in the morning.

**shasolenzabi**

Still, that sprue shows they are working on the Hanomags, so I am happy as I need more transports!

**MrMoustaffa**

Really diggin the look of the APC sprues so far.

Really kicking myself for not getting one

**RiTides**

Can't wait for those APCs and 15mm arms and Mortis

**Necros**

New site looks good

Are you using Squarespace? I was going to use them for mine

Just one?

I've got fifteen coming to me!

**warboss**

I like the overall look of the APCs but the sprues seem rather spaced out/empty. It seems like they could have either increased the part density to save themselves some money or increase the extra included bits for the benefit of customers. Either way, I'm sure the final build will look quite nice judging from the Knight Titans

produced so far.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

remember the 'stuff' on a sprue the longer the milling time needed to create it where most of the costs are (and I suspect the longer the time needed to optimise it for casting)

I'm sure Mark could have designed more stuff to squeeze on there, but the extra time may have been to expensive (or the 'slot' available too short)

(or maybe there is more to come, as there's space on the tool stuff can be added to it)

Mother of god...

**Tannhauser42**

Well, only 9 are the basic APC, I'm also getting 3 each of the two variants.
Also, Wargames Factory is having a Black Friday sale on all their stuff, including Dreamforge! Just ordered me three of the 15mm Leviathans, as I skipped them during the KS.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I'm assuming the black widows will be faster to tool than a brand new kit because some of the bushwhacking was done for the stormtroopers?

Can't wait to see some Valkir test shots...

**Isnigu**

Cyber monday price for 15 mm leviathan $41. Shipping to Europe $40 :(

**Manus**

That's a general problem with a lot of webbased shops, thay don't seem to realize how much people the put off/orders they loose by having monstrous shipping prices.
And I don't want to get into a huge discussion - but there are several shops out there which ships cheep all over the world, or even free.

Websellers are well aware of how much people dislike paying for shipping. Stores that ship free or at small flat rates do so at the expense of margin (because if your customer isn't paying the full cost of shipping, it still has to come from somewhere)... and tend to not last for the long haul.

I've never really understood why so many people think that shipping being higher than the price of the item is a sign of something being wrong... International shipping is dependant entirely on the size and weight of the item, not how much it costs. A bowling ball is going to cost the same to ship whether the store charges $100 or $1 for it.

Just factor the shipping into the actual price of the item, and move on.

**Azazelx**

Of course, if free or cheap shipping creates enough turnover that it works out profitable for them, they're golden.

Unfortunately the US is not a great place to buy from if you're overseas any longer, and rumours are it's about to get worse again in Jan.

The UK seems to be the go-to place for international shopping, as they tend to utilise the 20% VAT aspect to it's most favourable degree.
