Did Fulgrim Just Behead Ferrus?

A little update from Troublemaker Games:
In some non-Crowdfunder related news ( https://igg.me/at/smallscale-terrain - pledge early, pledge often!), we're pleased to announce that Troublemaker Games will soon be releasing plastic "flying stands" for wargaming, through our retail trading partner Vanguard Miniatures.
The bases :
- have a 32mm diameter.
- have 90 degree angle markers embossed on them, which may prove useful for some gaming usages.
- have a 1mm lip on the underside, so that they won't slide around the table like completely flat bases do.
- make their owner 3mm taller (if the owner stands on top of one).
We have the ability to make the bases in clear plastic, or coloured plastic (grey, black, green, blue, white, etc).
Which would YOU prefer?
Miniature shown atop the base is a Vanguard Miniatures "Novan Heavy Frigate".
Oh, and a little teaser from Vanguard Miniatures' Facebook page:
A teaser of a new 6mm model that will most likely appear in the up coming funder campaign.

Absolutely stunned at the level of detail you can fit into a 3mm mini.
I had some of the micro-scale armour miniatures from years ago (little Tiger tanks, PzIV's and the like) but these look like something else entirely.

Those boarding pods and mines could almost pass as biological ships, i.e. tyranids. Nice stuff.

Or maybe even for 15mm and 28mm gaming, grav-mines, drones, etc. Could be cool for stuff like the Orks, Adeptus Mechanicus, and so on.

Detail you managed to put onto such small scale is bordering insane. This looks very interesting and reasonable price could be that extra push to buy it.
Overall great job and very very impressive.

Definitely +1 to this!
The detail on the 6mm guys is just awesome, and these look very promising.
Hope not to post OT, but these are some 6mm guys I have painted up in pre-heresy World Eater colours (the rhinos are not Vanguard miniatures)

Have just noticed that in with an order of 6mm things I got a free little sprue of 3mm Novan Elites.
Have to say the detail on the detail on them is astounding for that scale - will make sure I paint them up and post some pics.

On Facebook they're polling about resin ships (which they have trouble keeping in stock) vs metal
https://www.facebook.com/battlegroupHelios/
Cleaned up the cruiser print ready for moulding, i'm of two minds on this, getting models cast in resin in sufficient volume is proving problematic where as getting models cast in metal in volume is easy. So i'm thinking should I cast this one in metal instead.
Thoughts people please.

Think the answer must be... METAL
Assuming that it won't then make it more expensive, more people able to buy it is better. It doesn't look like a complicated build, nothing load-bearing other than perhaps magnets for the flight base (which most would do anyway)
Think certainly it will be easy compared to some of the old battleships back in the day!

Sweet. I think I need one of those 15mm tanks when it gets back in stock. Time to retire my 20mm WW2 conversions I think.
Also, there is a video on youtube of the 3mm stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1FuPGJT1GE Lots of nice closeups.
