Thanks,

More Steam Lord stuff is definatly on the way!

Mad4minis I will definatly be creating only original weapons/bits, etc. The advertising banner is coming soon

Eric, thanks, I am planning a full range of terrain as soon as I can find a space big enough for the large molds required.

I will be doing a full range of "gothic" stuff, as its my own personal preference, however I will also be doing pleanty of non-gothic and xenos stuff.
The main focus of the terrain range will be whole, undamaged buildings.

Cheers for the continued feedback, Im really glad "guardsman is getting so many votes" as guardsman figures are my real passion in the hobby, so it will be great to get stuck into some new regiments in the new year!

Cheers,

That's exactly what I was looking for. An officer/upgrade weapon sprue sounds awesome. Most people would probably buy the whole sprue anyway which is why I see no issues offering it as a whole sprue only.

My vote is for the steam lord stuff... especially the ones with exo-skeletons. In fact I hit 'other' because I'd like to see a variation of them lugging around heavy weapons like a mini-gun, big flamethrower, or twin shoulder mounted RPGs.

I dont plan to make my own "normal" sized pistols as if I need some, I will be asking Kit very nicely if I can use his!

Pump action shotguns will be released next year with my gaurdsman range.

@djphranq, All coming up when I get a chance! I want exo-lords for my own personal Steam Lords army, a minigun will definatly be on the cards! Im thinking shoulder mounted..

More than anything, I want more 28mm "heroic" scale vehicles on the market. Not just IG stuff either (though I'm looking to build an army eventually). What would really be great is very non-specific Imperial style that could work just as well for marines as it could for IG (for all of those pre-Heresy Imperial Army builders out there) -- like some sort of lost STC that fits well with the aesthetic of the Imperium but resembles nothing out there. Also, vehicles that could accurately represent Tau human auxiliary -- think wheeled vehicles with Tau aesthetics.

I'm also probably one of the few who really wants 2x2 terrain pieces that will fit perfectly with the realm of battle board. A two section trench set designed to divide a board would be great! Even better if it could go 3 sections by reversing one (Apoc-sized tables need trench work too). Any terrain is good though, and whole undamaged buildings sound great!!!

I just think that vehicles and terrain are a largely untapped market. While I like your current products, I feel the market is "Atlantis-is-sinking" level flooded with marine compatible bits. If you move into reasonably priced vehicles and terrain, you'll find all of that money that no one else is getting!

Some guardsman parts would certainly be very handy, especially if they were very original, perhaps different sets of legs, torsos, heads AND arms. I know many players are always looking for stuff like rolled up sleeves, robotic enhancements etc. Another thing I would be interested in would be helmets in the same style as the 2nd ed sculpts (sorry, can't find any pics!)

However, I feel that far too many companies are making bases that are all pretty much the same, aka, rubble, plains, wasteland etc... Unless you produced some spectacular bases they could end up being a bit of a waste of time imo!

Cheers!

@Ruyn,

You are right, and luckily, making tanks and terrain is what Im best at and prefer over other kinds of modeling, I started with 28mm Heroic parts to get myself an initial, fairly stable income before I branch out into kits which are more risky in terms of expected return.

I did some intially caculations, and the vechicles you speak off are going to be on the market for less than £15 each, give me 3-6 months

A full range of parts is on the cards.

Totally right..

Im making wastelands, urban, desert, just like every other company out there, and my sculpts/moddelling is no better looking.

but I wouldnt be making bases if I didnt have somthing totally new to offer, somthing unlike anything on the market, which has taken a lot of work to develop and which Im rather proud of!

Details soon, and the launch within the next two weeks.
