Recently received an order of round shields and I must say I am very impressed with them.

The casts are good, very little flash, the shipping time from the US to the UK was only 12 days, and the quality of the resin is brilliant. Much harder than, say, FW or FC resin, perhaps more brittle but it doesn't matter for the shields are just the right thickness.

I am a very pleased customer.

I'll gladly give you the dimensions of any of the parts, however you'll need to be a bit more specific as to which ones you are referring to.

are the bioswords that are going away the monstrous creature ones or the warrior sized ones?

Both sizes are being discontinued.

Thanks for plugging Proxie models, I just ordered some of those dreadnought bases

Love your stuff, wish some of it was applicable to my armies, though! Right now I could really use some good sci fi weapons to substitute for the standard bolt pistol and close combat weapon.

Here is my review of the Chitin blades and Bio-tendrils (lash whips).

http://warfrog.blogspot.com/2011/10/buyer-reviews-paulson-games-alien-parts.html

If you are on the fence about the whips buy some of these they are great. I purchased some of the swords as well but I like the Chitin blades better, however I would say the entire alien lineup is fantastic.

I can't wait to see the next generation of Bio Tendrils, probably means I will need a set or two as well.

My only concern with those Dreadnought bases is the size of the connector to the sprue in the centre - any chance of reporting back on how cleanly that separates when your order comes through, RiTides?

I posted pics up in the Proxie thread.

I'm quite happy with the ones I'd gotten, cost is good, material is nice and solid, removing it from the sprue is no sweat at all.

I bought a large bulk of them that I'm going to start including these with my riding wolf models instead of the resin bases as it saves me tons of time not having to cast resin bases. (The resin bases will be made available seperately) I will also be including them with the Bio-Terror models from here out.

Are the wolf rider legs/saddle available to purchase separately? I looked in your store to no avail...

They are only sold with the wolves.

Darn. I don't need the wolves. Thanks for the reply.

Hey Guys,

I've been doing some sorting to clear out some of my gaming stuff and I've decided I'm never going to get around to finishing my army and I'm going to sell it off. I've put a very limited amount of swords on my site as they were from my personal collection. Between the two sizes I have less than 2 dozen sets. They aren't in production anymore and these are the last few copies i have. If you want them; move quickly.

The Bio-Tendrils and Riding Wolves will be available again in Feb.

The Bio-Terror models will be available again in Feb.

Those models are all recieving minor changes and will be reslisted as quickly as possible.

More mech weapons will also be added in Jan.



As my work log seems to have vanished I wanted to see what type of feedback I might be able to get about the chitin blades.

Any particular dislikes about the chitin blade design?
Already have swords & no need?
Problems with the size or look?

Don't be afraid to be truthful I have thick skin


Chitin Blade:

I like the chitin blades a lot - nid-compatible without being too derivative.

My only concern is the same as with any nid 'hands' - there's unavoidably a rather small (and therefore fragile) connection point with the rest of the model.

I have these and the previous swords, I prefer this look over all the options I have seen on the webz.

Yes . Looking forward to seeing what they are! And maybe getting some at some point, if you mean for dreadnoughts...

Underslung missile launchers are now available.

Those missile launchers are awesome, but are they for tau or dreadnaughts? I assume tau since the rest of your line fits that.

BTW, I have a box of your old bio-swords. Those plus these new chitin blades are simply put, the best looking ones on the market by far. I'm actually extremely disappointed I missed this last batch of bio-tendrils and cannot wait for your newest set. Any eta?

Please keep up the fantastic work.

Underslung for what? Are there any pictures of your parts 'in context' so we can see what they look attached to other things?

Where do I find the samurai swords on your website. I was interested in purchase a few sets of them and cannot seem to find them outside of the original post in this thread. Any more weapons for fantasy armies coming in the very near future?

Update: Guess it pays to read the blog news on the opposite side of your website. Any update on when the metal versions will be available? What about the back banners that are mentioned in the same post?

Good question!

They are listed in the "Mecha Parts 54mm" section, if that helps?

To be blunt, you can fit them to the ellbow joint of a Broadside and use the Paulson Railguns on the shoulders.

Shazam!

There you go - and thanks Kroot!

Got a nice order of the broadsides (medium) railguns for a buddy of mine for his Tau. They look awesome. Very little clean up prep for painting too. Keep the bits commin!

I'm thinking this would serve as a dual plasma launcher. Any thoughts on the design before it heads off to printing?

It seems a little simplistic, what would be the scale of it?

Here we go, the protruding tip on the left side of the picture doesnt go along with the rest of the aesthetics

Like the other parts I make they are scaled for 54mm mecha. The design is meant to fit alongside the other weaponry I've done, it's a bit simple but I think there's a nice unity to the look.

Luna: Thanks for the pic, I tried tapering the barrel tips down a bit but it doesn't look quite right. I'll post a couple variations shortly.

Edit:

Here's other options for the barrel tips

On the tip, maybe put some of the vents similar the Tau Plasma guns. Nothing about this says Plasma too me. None of the cooling vents, etc.

Of all the barrel tips (counting the first one you posted as "Option 1"), I'd say Option 2. No curves, so it looks better.

It is still rather simplistic though.
