I was thinking about adding some power cables to make it more SF.

Thanks for the response. I think power cables could be a nice touch. Also maybe some cybernetic additions like cybernetic optical implants or even one or two with a mechanical jaw. Make it look more like the skulls were adapted into helmets. But as they are now they are perfect for regular fantasy or demon pieces.

do they ship to the US?

Yes we do, as probably many dakkaites here can attest

(please give us at least 12 hours from now and don't place any orders for this while, we're working hard to make the new store engine work like we want it to)

OK, I've fixed the links to images, categories and products -- they should all work now.

Time to test and smooth the whole order-placing flow, place some convenience links (changing currency, as I assume you'd like to see prices in eur or usd instead of polish zloty) and after I get some sleep we can start with the new store full-throttle

Are your email addresses the same? I sent an email to the bitspudlo@bitspudlo.com address, regarding new piece ideas.

I am keeping an eye out for some re-stocks - but is there a way to convert currency on the website? I can do it manually, but didn't know if I am missing the obvious, or maybe it has not been implemented yet.

Thanks!

In the past at least it was just clicking your relevant countries fllag and prices converted, but I think that function is temporarily down

Company website appears to be down.

I think they just changed addresses recently, and you may have an old link

I don't see the "Storm Wolf" rider legs/saddle anymore?

@SixSix

Yes, the email address is the same and we got your ideas. We have some ongoing projects that will be added to our range soon but I wll add some of your ideas to our list. I also think that gatling cannons might look good on dreadnoughts.

@AgeOfEgos

They are available - here's a link http://bitspudlo.com/products/storm-wolf-rider-legs

I know that new site still need a lot of work but there is progress and on Monday most demanded turretes will be restocked ( this time a bit more than 10pc each ).

It is implemented, I just haven't placed the links on the layout yet:

http://bitspudlo.com/currency/EUR -- Euro
http://bitspudlo.com/currency/USD -- US Dollar
http://bitspudlo.com/currency/PLN -- Polish Zloty (the basic store currency, for the time being the one used in PayPal payments as well)

This is one of the rough edges of our current layout that I plan to smooth tonight

Oh yeah, this is the big news we forgot to put up
Monday starts with large availability of three very demanded products, namely Flak, Gatling and Las-Plasma platforms. Other products -- at first remaining platforms, dozer blades -- will follow in subsequent weeks. New manufacture FTW

I love you guys. In a totally 'OMG A COMPANY THAT LISTENS AND COMMUNICATES TO IT'S CUSTOMERS!!!' kind of way.

SickSix wrote:I love you guys. In a totally 'OMG A COMPANY THAT LISTENS AND COMMUNICATES TO IT'S CUSTOMERS!!!' kind of way.

Agreed. They are quite good at that. Something a few other companies that shall remain nameless could take some pointers from.

tgf wrote:cool stuff thanks for the link, anyone know when the las-plas is coming back in stock?

Monday evening ( GMT ) I will add some more turrets to the stock and from there I hope we will be able to maintain more or less regular production.

Second casting set is doing great and we have started to use new resing which makes whole process faster, not to mention improved quality.

SickSix wrote:I love you guys. In a totally 'OMG A COMPANY THAT LISTENS AND COMMUNICATES TO IT'S CUSTOMERS!!!' kind of way.

We're too small and too much of a beginners in this market to not communicate with our customers and not take the clues* they're giving us
(thanks guys, your feedback really makes Bitspudlo a better store and manufacturer!)

* where "clues" is a mild name for "OMG they're totally right how come we didn't know/think of that before?"

If you want some ideas.....;


Make a 'not Cyclone Missile Launcher'. They go for 12-15 bucks (EACH) on Ebay/bits sites----and given Dark Angels/LoganWing---they are popular.

It's an upcoming release, hopefully mid-june in regular sale

It is like he was reading your mind... in the past!

Looking forward to these - any chance of some WIP pics?

Hey guys - found a pretty severe bug with the currency converter while I was placing an order.

If you follow the linik for the USD converter and process with PayPal it will process the $ dollar total as Polish Zloty. For example, my balance was around 60$ US in the cart but when processed the PayPal charge was around $22.

I just went back and used the Zloty link and everything processed correctly. Thought you might want to get that one fixed to avoid any billing issues!

Sweet, I'll be buying some of those!

Great minds and all that

I've been looking at buying a Storm Wolf 02 but I'm not sure what the Wolf Shields are. What exactly are they and where would they go on the model?

Is the gun paltform carriage the same size as a Chimera? Because if it is, I will definitely be picking up some of those.

@ashtekka: wolf shields are made for decorating wolves, they're about the size of 25mm round base. We'll put some to-scale photos later.

@creeping-deth87: no, it's a lot smaller. just enough size to fit the gun platform on top (see the slot size).

Oh damn! Thanks for noticing that, I'm on it...

Edit: fixed, deploying. Thanks again! We haven't been hunting currency-related bugs yet, that's why the currency change links haven't been placed on the layout yet.
I owe you one, Herod

By the way, yesterday I've open-sourced the engine powering our site, it's on github.
https://github.com/tomash/bitspudlo.com

Any programming geeks wanting to see how to do a e-store using Spree (a Ruby-on-Rails based e-commerce engine), with some nifty features given by extensions (paypal website payment, multi-currency, multi-language product names) -- and all of this in (currently) in a mere 65 lines of code -- well, the whole codebase is publictly available on github

When will there be a restock on las plas platforms. Interested in ordering some of those and maybe some wolves.

You might have missed it. He answered that a few post up:

Thanks I missed that.

Do the turrets rotate or are they fixed?

Anytime!


I'm not sure if they rotate or not. I'm still waiting for my order to arrive.

They rotate. It's a nub that goes in a groove in the mounting plate. I've used them for months now; they're great.

They rotate and are great.

Once magnetized you can basically aim it however you want.

Oh damn, I wanted to create bitspudlo.com new tagline along the lines of "better than citadel finecast", but after seeing the failcasts it would be like kicking the already lying
