Awesome looking... but $350 eeck! :(

Absolutely amazing kit.

*adds it to his lottery list*

YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP!.... I cant hear you over my awesomeness (thats a joke). Seriously, thank you for the kind words!

Thanks BigJon, I know you got stuck in the GW mess last time :( Good to see you and a few others still alive and kicking

Awesome, some of those other weapons are quite tasty as well. Related comment how ambidextrous are the arms? Can the hand be reversed for lefty/righty?

So this first kit is actually going to be Death's head or Crusader? Might be getting one of these sooner then I thought

Is that just lawsuit avoidance or is there some other underlying logic?

Jack

Some arms like the claws and Vulkan are only left or right, but I will (eventually) have both left and right available.

The Crusader has different weapons, head, feet and an armor add-on... This would just be the Crusaders jousting helm, head. that way you can choose which head you wanted to use.

Nope, not worried about that... their attorneys saw it and said they had no issues with it. (I made sure my attorney had it in writing) It's a matter of wanting to make something that stands on its own merits, not simply by proxy.

Beautiful beautiful work though!

p.s a lot of links on the site don't seem to work... where can you actually buy this from??

The web site is a broken mess.... I will have to ebay the first few until I can get the time to fix everything :( Sorry about that... thats the problem with being a one man band.

ok so what is your ebay name then? I'd like a proper look at the APC's!

p.s. 350 isnt bad if the thing is about the size of a warhound. Although, I was wondering if the vulcan cannon would also fit on the left arm? I really like the powerfist....

A bit smaller than a warhound, about 8.5" to the shoulders and 9.5" total height to the top of the stacks. The Vulkan is right handed due to the ammo feed location. Left handed claw and Vulkan have been printed and ready for molds...

I do a lot of contract work for other game companies; the APC's and a bunch of other items are 15mm scale for Khurasan Miniatures http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15mmscifi-vehicles.html

This is astounding. ++

Nosegoblin, its looks like everything we'd hoped for. Nice work.

See you on the eBay listings.

Any plan to make slightly smaller "Knight" sized versions?

Alpharius wrote:Any plan to make slightly smaller "Knight" sized versions?

He already said that 15mm ones were in the works Alpharius.

I'm pretty sure 15mm is a tad small for a Knight, unless I'm not understanding what a '15mm' version would look like...

Hello,
I would be doing some weapon swaps

Regards,
Carl

It might, but its a fair bit closer. 15mm miniatures are 1/107 scale, as opposed to 28mm being 1/58, so a bit of math gets us about 5inch tall models. Maybe a shade small but certainly closer then the 28mm sized guy is, and in my case as someone with multiple Armorcast titans I want to look appropriate next too its ok. Once we see the smaller ones it will likely be fairly trivial to cheat the height slightly with scenic bases and such.

Jack

Nice - thanks Jack!

Seeing this makes me want to build my AdMech army for apoc.

Beautiful model !

ooo, Mega-dread anybody?

awbbie wrote:ooo, Mega-dread anybody?

It's closer in size to a stompa...

I see the blog says it will come with both the Mortis and Crusader heads...hmmm. Im thinking maybe picking one up and just converting the scythe arm to something else, maybe grab the vulkan and make it work in place of the scythe.

Sgt.Roadkill wrote:I really wish we had some scale with other 28mm models.

i have several plans for the leviathans shame on the price but nvm...

Size has been posted several times, aprox 9 inches tall...break out the ruler and compare it to whatever you want.

$350 a bad price for something of that size and quality?? Its the same size as Forgeworld titans and they will cost almost $1000 with arms.

15mm versions would make decent Knight sized titans, they would only be 5-6 inches tall.

Agreed to above post. $350 for a titan size mini sounds fine as long as its AWESOME. Which it is. Seriously, I think a bunch of dakkas just wet themselves looking at this model.

Titans are about $1000? Seriously? And people buy them? I guess its ok if you're rich. Don't know why people complain about GW prices then?

Love the titans. Maybe one day Ill buy one if you make something that looks like an Eldar titan (not that yours are anything to do with 40k though, shhhhh!).

The warhound is closest in size to the Mortis...its 235 pounds or $371 US for just the body, add to that $55 per arm (35 pounds) for a total of almost $600. A fully set up Reaver, which is a good bit larger than the Mortis, is over $900 US. As you can see the Mortis, and other variants, are full kits for cheaper than the smallest forgeworld body alone. In all fairness the FW titans are very, very nice models, but far out of reach of most people. The Dreamforge stuff is a great deal for the money.

Also, for anyone wanting a size comp, thre is another thread with a pic of the Mortis next to a 33mm mini. If you need a pic of it with a GW product I doubt its gonna happen, so that will have to be good enough.

Fantastic model, but your site is incredibly difficult to navigate. Unless I'm missing something, there are no actual miniatures in your shop...

This is amazing! cant wait for the crusader body to be released. sign me up for two!

Your math is a tad off. A full warhound is 305 GBP, for a total of 481 USD right now.

Now if you're talking about with shipping included....then it is 553 USD, but we don't know if the Mortis will ship free either.

Yeah, I was bouncing back and forth between pages, might have looked at the Reaver parts accidentally...either way, I doubt that it will be hundreds of $$ to ship the Mortis, so it will still be more affordable.

whitedragon wrote:Now if you're talking about with shipping included....then it is 553 USD, but we don't know if the Mortis will ship free either.

FW shipping is free on such a large order, so it's $350 + shipping vs. $481.

If the price was equal, or even if the Mortis was a bit more Id rather have it (well the Crusader & Gabriel variants) than a Warhound. I just like them better. Now I wouldnt mind having a Reaver, but at or above $800 I doubt it will happen.

Nothing earth shattering, but I do have a couple of PDF instruction files up on my blog.

Looks great. Any updates on a release date? Esp for the Crusader...

Double down on the release question, I'm wanting to get that fine looking Gatling gun in hand for conversion-y goodness.

All the instructions are done... I used the time waiting on the re-print part to hack my way through the web-page. Its not complete but at least its not broken I was able to slightly decrease the load time and make it more user friendly.

I am benching the part today and will be making a new family mold then mold masters. I don't have an exact date yet but I'm burning the midnight oil trying to get it all done.

All the best,
Mark-
