@jp400: it will take a while mate . as you know this project hasn't had much luck so far - at least when it comes to sculpting. but know it is the hands of the guy that IMO simply can't go wrong - the only problem is that he already has some other projects he's working on.

And as for being at tad silent - we should be able to work at full speed and even a boosted one really soon. We've almost finished preparing new workshop. We're already working there, only a couple of new machines and shelves need to be set up. Damn, I simply can't tell how happy I am that we made that move - the new place is miles better than previous one. It took a lot of from my reservoir of energy but I already see it was worth it. I might take a week of break, to finally get some holidays, after it gets done but no worries - the rest of the team will be here (and they've already taken their holidays ).

Apart from forcing me to be a tad silent on the forums it also forced us to cut distribution orders for a couple of months - we've already had troubles filling them. So the new place was in fact a must if we wanted to grow. I can only thank Warpath for being so patient with us and for supporting us through this time.
Starting from the next month will be slowly catching up with the distribution. On the first wave we'll do our best to restock all the old items. On the 2nd/3rd we'll be sending new releases and remaining items.

Oh, and almost forgot to mention - even though I've been silent this does not mean we haven't been working on new projects. Far from that. In fact this creative kind of work was one of the things that kept me going. The list of the items thats being sculpted is long - we've just need to schedule them in a reasonable way.

That all sounds like good news!

Congrats on the move to a better place...

There's a list?!?

What's on the list?

can't tell . but one hint I can share is that apart from the turret we'll have at least one more addition to heavy weapons range pretty soon.

Any ETA on that wyrm?

I think that somewhere around Christmas would be a good estimation. We already have ultimate version of it sculpted but it's simply too big (and thus too expensive). We're working on a more reasonably sized one at the moment .
The large one will propably become a webstore exclusive.

I'd love to get that turret, so I could add some sentinel legs to it. I already have a spare pair I was saving for just this sort of thing.

I think enemy air support would find that conversion to be (sunglasses up) explosive.

Sounds very good. I will continue to patiently await the day when I can swap out every GW Ig head I have for these.

I've added evil heads to the webstore:


Also while I were still sorting out thingies that piled during my absence I received some sketches for our future projects. Damn can't wait to see them sculpted .

Hmmmm... the head in the bottom row.... was this influenced by anyone?

BTW, your shop says that the Wunderrocket is sold out. Is that true? Any recast planned?

That turret is awesome. Another question: is the German 10.5 cm Feldkanone 48 scaled for 40k or 15mm (IE FOW)?

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using the MaxMini Werewolf heads on Vampire Count Ghoul bodies? I've been thinking that might be a cool conversion, but it's expensive enough that I can't just justify making the order to try it myself.

@Kroothawk: we'll restock the wunderrocket next week. even though we have a couple of copies left I've disabled it in webstore untli we'll work out new production mold (old one have just broken) to avoid mess .

@jmurph: feldkannone is designed to work wit minis in 28mm "heroic".

grabbed protytype version of the new siege gun from the desk. it's still work in progress and some parts are missing (like cover, elements for the positioning mechanism etc.). let me know what do you think

Now that's a pretty gun!

Can I call her Medusa?

Does it fit into the back of that other mythical animal chassis?

Me likey.

Any chance of a covered version?

Awesome!
If the price is right i'm getting 2.

Lovely piece of work.

I'm sure Imperial Guard players could put that Siege Gun to some use... but what...


Very nice.

I think I might be able to put it to use as a Lobba on the back of a battlewagon as well.

ok, so as the price matter surfaced - what would you consider a reasonable price for this kit?
Got to admit it can't be cheap because of it's size and number of parts (the thing that we need to think about distribution discounts doesn't help either). At the same time, as usual, I'd like to ensure it will be affordable .

Well, the Medusa conversion kit from Forgeworld is £20.

I'd suggest £16. Any higher and folks will consider going the extra mile for Forgeworld.

Just my 2peneth worth.

€20,-- ish tops? But I'm a bit of a cheapskate and lack the business acumen of others.

Really like that but would it possible to sell just the cannon and the immediate stand without all the shielding and loading gubbins? I want to make some gun trukks and I have plenty of sniveling grots to do my loading for me.

MGS nailed it. You need to come in well below FW's price. If nothing else, FW means "GW tourney legal" which will be a factor for a significant portion of your potential market. You need to come in low enough to offset that potential disadvantage.

Valete,

Wait wait!! would this...? Would....? Yes!!!!

Can we get, perhaps a smaller version of the gun? I some kind of recessed carriage? =)!!!

And then a larger, shorter-barreled version with very large ammo. Maybe big enough to require a claw arm?

MGS FTW!

I'm really considering some of these too for my 'in the planning stages' guard...

I think 18Euro for this kit would be a good deal (on my side at least) and not too pricey so people won't go for Forge World but I have no idea of the cost price. Anyhow it's a nice piece and since it's still wip it can get better!

One thing I can say from personal experience is that MaxMini's resin molding is significantly better than ForgeWorld's.

All the MaxMini stuff I've received to date (and it has been quite a bit!) has very little flash, no warping and overall is a VERY clean looking process that yields EXCELLENT results!

So, even if the price is 'close' to a similar FW piece?

I'd choose MaxMini.
