Sorry for being a touch off topic but has anyone ordered from MRM from the UK? Want a few bits and bobs but unsure if I will have to pay customs and if it is slow deliver, get mixed results when ordering from the U.S.

I'm in the UK and I've oredered several times - never had any issues at all.

I have ordered..... well god knows so many times it is unbelievable, every time turned up within two weeks (usually a week on most occasions ) with no custom problems or delivery issues. To be honest the success rate has been perfect which is starting to worry me know lol.
So yes no worries order away mate

Same for me ! Mad Robot delivers an excellent service to the UK !

I quite like those scavenger heads.

Those horsies have my attention.

Will the saddles be attached to the horses, the riders, or a separate add-on?

In a perfect world the saddles would be a separate 3rd piece and both the saddle and horse would be a perfect fit for all my Rogue trader Rough Riders

simple saddle will be attached to the horse.

@Mad Robot - Just to be absolutely sure, is the figure riding the horse based on your existing miniatures just reposed? I've bought too many horses that ended up being too small. If they are fresh sculpts I think I'm going to have trust issues until I see them

Though I am looking forward to them. Another company was advertising that they were making some but I think you're going to beat them.. out of the gate (eh? eh???)

The legs are reposed from our existing fatigue legs so proportions will remain consistent throughout all of our rider legs. These mostly came up now due to people asking for them, I guess some new rules are making guys riding roughly a good thing again

As for other companies...meh, don't care

Understandable on other companies, though I mix your stuff in with a bunch of others to get the look I want

Glad to hear the proportions will be intact though as your components tend to match the industry pretty well.. at least until the industry makes their stuff taller and skinnier

Will it just be one set of generic horses or are you doing any with gas masks or cybernetics or whatever? I'm sure some DKoK players would love a gas mask option (my fingers are crossed for NVGs for horses )

@MLaw: there will be variations, more o n that soon. Also won't end with horses

Beautiful horses.
Sign me up for some with and without gas masks. Not that I will field them as Rough Riders - but great looking (and correctly scaled) horses are rare.

Also, I must remember to buy a cybernetic arms + steering wheel combo for that Imperator Furiosa wibe on N17 Eschers...

Your post made me consider steering wheel/horse conversions.. mostly because I am not sure what else you were saying.. but the mental image is mildly amusing.

New release time!









Available Now

Wow, those pieces look great!

A little thing, I remember you said something on the lines of redesigning the Gideon in search for more details on the casting. Is it true or is my head trolling me?

I sent the tank to an outside caster to help make production easier. That's about it besides these new weapons and some sponsons that will be released next weekend.

Awesome work as always!

Quick question though, are you planning to create more types of heavy weapon platforms, or just sticking to the wheeled gun shield and tripod type? I'd love to see some tank tread platforms...

Lastly, will you be planning to release the plasma pistol on the lykan commander sprues as a four piece on a separate sprues? I've noticed all the other pistols are available separate apart from the plasma ones. Also, any thoughts on making some lasgun variations, maybe ones that match the ones you do in the pic below?

Got it! I also have a concept for a large, ogre-ish "walking HW team"

Yes, good idea

Got it!

I have some other small things to wrap up but I will try to get them out before to long.

Right got one bit done, here's a comparison to our existing Luminous Rifle



How's that?

Sweet, love that Dyno-laz. Those I can use!

Did I see at one point that you might be releasing (or had released) some plain human fists- with no weapon being held?

Not that I recall. Do you mean a clenched fist or a fist for holding a weapon?

Holy. Moly.

I have to say, that Dyna-Las has a VERY lovely retro feel to it. I would use them in a heartbeat! Also, thanks for taking aboard the plasma pistol idea, will make upgrading characters MUCH easier!

Just a simple clenched fist. I've been cutting hands off of Heroclix for them

open hand, wavy hand...holding a cup of tea or bottle...non combatant hands...please!

giving the finger possibly? or a thumb up? :-D

Grognard-Pattern Model 40777 Laz Rifle!

With the side sponsons of the Gideon tank, will you be releasing it as a full kit, or will there be an option to buy the weapons separate to convert Leman Russ tanks with your guns?

In your preview the guns aren't attached to the Sponsons, so I'm hoping you can buy the weapons separate in case you want the guns but not the sponsons...

The sponsons are designed and sized to work with the Gideon MBT. They will not fit the LR and would look very out of place, same goes for the guns.

I see, bummer, those bits looked great!
