The 2 new style brakes are both great! I'm not as big a fan of the laser, but the last one (the mortar) is suitably orcy . Nice to see the feedback taken so quickly, and the product greatly improved as a result!


Yes the T style was very "marmite" but I'd never seen one in 28mm and like being different. (it's still available too due to people buying it)

As for the petard, It was just crying out for a big explosive shell. Part of me wants to make it spring loaded . Feedback is always welcome, afterall it's a business. If I don't listen to my customer base it's going to be very short lived.

Thanks all

Got my barricades and AA gun, they're great. Cleaned up easily, look nice. Took a third party ork-faced shield and it covered the center round perfectly as well. A++

Thanks, feel free to post some pics in here when painted (I'm curious to see what others make of my bits) also.. I'm a lazy git and painting isn't my strong point

Hey all, back again after a bit of a break. (doesn't feel like it) Not much of an update as it's something I've been working on to take my mind off chimera conversions. (pics soon)

anyway I give you my chaos objective marker which can also be used as a nice chaos display plinth. Festooned with chaos insignia and horns of 8 and even a nice maggot crawling out the eye for you followers of the pustular one.









As usual, cast in grey polyurethane resin and priced at £3.50 each. On a 40mm base and standing 28mm high.
Any questions feel free to contact me.
Thanks guys
Jim

Hi all, Back again now I'm feeling refreshed from my enforced time off.

This time I bring you something I've been wanting to get done for a while, and thats armoured hatches (for all you mechanical and armour types)

With 2, handed bin style hatches, a cupola hatch and an reinforced opening armoured box type hatch at various sizes, with the box hatch being 28mm across.





Price is £3.99 per set, and available HERE

Also we are now ON FACEBOOK, Where I'll be updating with more WIP shots, rather then just the finished item.


thanks all for looking!
Jim

Hey hey, Back again (not a big update). I had a few requests from people asking If I could make some 40mm bases to fill in between my other sizes.

So without babbling on any more I give you um... more bases in a already crowded market haha.

firstly we have the new sci fi deck base



And secondly the new slate bases


For sale at £3 for 5 and £3.99 for 5 respectively.

You can find both for sale as well as my other bits in my sig.

Thanks all
Jim

Yeah, this looks cool!

The turret kinda reminds me of the old white metal predator destructor turret from back in the day so thumbs up there!

Will be keeping an eye on this for sure

Hey all, Just though I'd post some WIP pics of the new Imperial guard/Astra Militarum Heavy weapons team tankette I'm currently working on. Inspired by universal carriers, pzII, Renault ft17 etc

The actual model is narrower then a 60mm base, but about 3-4mm longer and comes with all the heavy weapons team options (hb,lc,ac,ml,mortar)

I'm hoping to have these down to $15-20 each.

Thanks all for looking

What ever happened to that Tiger-ish looking tank?

Got pushed back a bit, when I moved from the Uk to USA, customs decided the masters needed to be used as a football apparently . It is still in the works, just having to rebuild the hull masters from scratch and repair the turret.

Wow I love the Tankette. Any chance of making it open topped and giving it heavy weapons armaments? I dont have any heavy weapon teams yet so this could be a cool alternative if I can make it light enough looking so that I can justify it.

I love the Tankette as well. An open topped version would defiantly make it easier to "counts as" HWTs.

There is a word for a wargamer with an empty paint bench.

Dead.

Damn, that looks fine. If I had known 2 weeks ago, I might not have purchased those 1/48 Universal carriers.

Although extra heavy weapon teams might be cool...

When will they be available?

I would have to redesign the upper hull. I Should be able to, as it is a 2 piece hull like the plastic chimera.

Hopefully within the next week or so. Just doing the last bits of surface finishing on some parts, while some I already have made the moulds for.

If you manage to make an open topped version I may have to buy a few.

How much is shipping to NZ from you guys?

Let us know when they're done. I'd love to fold my infantry weapon teams back into my infantry squads, and have these as dedicated HWS.

Oh and maybe you want to either fix your banner (eBay says nothing on that end) or remove it.

Thanks for that, Forgot to fix it after I had a play with ebay. I'm currently making the moulds for the hull pieces as we speak, so not too long.
