I assumed it was an armoured dune buggy, or like KK said a Jeep.

Or maybe it is a Boy Scout tank?

Official GW vehicle models are well under scale compared to infantry. I would say the scout car is just about the right size for a small scout car like a Ferret.

Its a 15mm vehicle IIRC... it SHOULD be that small...

The scout car?

15mm is roughly 1/100

28mm/32mm is roughly 1/56 or 1/64

I think its 28mm from the size next to the fire warrior if its a 1 man scout buggy

if its suppose to have like 3 or more then yea probably for the 15mm range

Scale shot next to tau -- the heavy assault suits are planned to be 45mm tall

I like it. What kind of price are we talking? Ive been looking for some futuristic walkers about that size, these would be perfect if the price point is acceptable.


Also...please tell me this isnt going to be one of those things thats "coming soon" for a year or so then gets canned.

Theres a company that has a product I want thats doing that. Emailed them last year Nov...said it would be out in December. Emailed them Feb 1st...they said its coming soon...

Thats the funny part about GW. Its vehicles are close to 28mm true scale...however the weapons on them and all of the other models are 28mm heroic. Thats why the guns on the vehicles look huge, yet in turn the vehicle itself looks small next to the troops.

Basically 40K vehicles are just weird.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Scale_Model_Kits_for_40K#Historical_vs_40K_Vehicle_Comparison

Take the Rhino and compare with the M113 in scale mode format.

Also, the body parts of the GW infantry figures are distorted, not just the weapons. They have roughly the same volume and bulk of head and torso as 1/35 scale figures, but they are shorter than 1/48 scale figures. The height is about right for 1/56.

All the above, plus the infantry standing on very thick bases, makes them look too large for the GW vehicles.

The "scout car" is actually a unmanned drone and is in the 32mm scale the 15mm size is about the size of a epic rhino

The jet bike parts are as seen below and would really like to do the main body in resin and the bits in metal - looks like the foot pegs being moved forward should be simple enough --



The walker was released last August and sold for 20.00 and Did not sell a single one after August removed from site in October -- I have had feedback saying too hard to build and have had the legs feet reworked so it will be offered in 2 poses and be mostly resin. I was also told the price was too high at 20.00 but don't think I can get it down any more and more than likely will have to raise it to 25.00 Overall everyone like the concept and wants more turrets and weapon systems.

Below is the current kit --


Here is the new legs and foot render -- one set will be standing one set will be running -- watch the you-tube video for running pose look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpHyUqfLQEg&feature=related



I have been trying to sell my iron hands army http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/ on ebay for the last 2 months for a price that lets me do more 3d development but might just let it go to be able to cover this current project. Once current round of auctions over will decide.

I want to start on the below 4 legged walker Not sure if there is anything that it could be used for in 40k but 15mm version would be sweet on the table --

Are we talking about the one in the pic with the Tau suit?

Is that $20 US?

Didnt sell any?...do you still have them?

Id take several of them at $20 each...

I take back what I said, the models are excellent.

I am glad to see this little thread has drawn you back out! I hope you can see there is a big demand for your stuff, best of luck!

Just had a look at the store, and am very impressed with the Valkyur models. They look very much how I pictured the "Sisters of Silence"... with the easiest of weapon swaps, they'ld make a very impressive battlefield squad .

Also, loving the Russian Armoured suit...looks like a cross between an "Alpha" Veritech and MK VIII "Errant" Power Armour ! Very nice!

Padre^.

Please PM me your info on how I can get one or two. If I can push it, I'd like 3.

That 60.bucks? I've got cash for you for that if you still have a few.
Do us a solid, I've got a giant dinosaur that needs it's !@#$ kicked...

Whoever told you that that model for 20 bucks was too much was on crack. That thing is worth that and more. especially with the side by side thing with GW's. They look like garbage compared to your walkers.

Great job, bro.

PM me the info for some of those. I've got cash, you got bot's, lets talk.

I would double the size of the buggy and make it manned, will sell more I guess. Only Infinity uses such drones.

20$ is a fair price. People might be neglecting your website because most items were either not yet available or not available any more.

And your jetbike and all walkers look great.

I just got the photos for the 2 new sculpts for the Valkyur - a tech and a medic -- He will begin work on the battle raven mk I and mk III next.
I am not sure about the pack on the medic back pack as it is a rifle and artist added the rifle stock after these photos. It is a add on part so might just get left off.



I also just emailed the 3d printer and ordered the masters for the jet bike ATV and new war walker legs to try to ship out by Friday the 18th -- all this talk has gotten me excited enough to go ahead an start next phase. Will have photos of parts before the end of this month.

If you are the comic book type I just got back from artist first 3 test pages http://www.micropanzer.com/comic/
It is just a fun little project and might become something down the road -- I want short little story arcs in book to add flavor -- I don't always read all the fluff in rule books until a later date and know other who are the same way but I do look at the pictures, and figure it cant hurt.

As for the paint jobs on my site -- -- You can bet I will find funds before book is laid out. I have gotten quotes from Angel Giraldez, I am sure no longer valid as this was a while bakc --He is the guy that does all infinity's paint work and while 100% worth the price it is more than I can justify spending until I I am further along -- Although might have to get 1 or 2 models done just to see if it increases sales -- mind wind up paying for itself.

I completely agree. Ill take several at $20 a pop. At least 3, maybe more like 5-6. like you said "I've got cash, you got bot's, lets talk"

I'm not a gammer so .....The Jet bikes, they will have a set of female legs? I would love to be able to make some Battle Sister jet bikes...those would look cool.

Oh wow...

I'm impressed.

Very.

Might grab some of those bots...

$20 is far from expensive for a model like the walker considering its size and features.

Kilkrazy wrote:$20 is far from expensive for a model like the walker considering its size and features.

Considering the smaller less detailed GW models next to it are also $20...I call it a hell of a deal. If I had known about them in Aug Id already own some.


Micropanzer...if you dont have the old stock or cant/wont sell it when can we expect the new ones?

I look forward to seeing the walker after it's remastered. A pity it wouldn't be in plastic but I know that's expensive to set up.

And that 4-legged tank really is a thing of beauty. I'd love to see it make it to production one day, even if it didn't have an analogue in 40K.

Completely agreed. Im in for a couple or so of the walkers, new or old version. Probably one of the 4 leg ones too if released.

what is the scale of the jetbikes? I'm curious for a pre-heresy era SM jetbike.

Out of curiosity, do you mold/cast your own stuff or do you outsource production to a foundry, etc.? I'm looking for a contract caster/molder...

I use an outside caster mainly for quality purposes -- It has been a major learning curve to do everything I have had to do and to pick that up would probably do me in at this point.

The company I use http://www.veltd.net/.

These guys have been great so far and the figures require little cleanup.

Those Jet Bikes looks like the perfect Space Marine archeotech jet bikes. Though unfortunately I think the scale might be off :(

Any word on release dates for this stuff, esp the larger scale walkers?

Ehsteve wrote:Those Jet Bikes looks like the perfect Space Marine archeotech jet bikes. Though unfortunately I think the scale might be off :(

Maybe good for guard rough riders, if the bikes fit the aesthetic of the army one has.

Ummm, WOW!

I could make a whole army using this stuff but the troops are a bit pricey. Vehicle prices are spot on though.

Any update on the Jetbikes?

Im just going to come out and say this... the only way I'm every playing 40K again, or completing my Saim-hann army is if you mass produce those jetbikes... you do that, and you can have my gold!
