Anyone suggested pith helmeted ogryns? With ridiculously bushy beards???

Silly suggestions aside (or was I being serious...?) this is all great work, Vic. Always loved the idea of steampunk Victorian guardsmen!

Keep 'em comin'!


P.S You could even give those moustachioed ogryn huge blunderbuss personal side cannon, or even huge six-barrelled Gatling guns...

I would love that, though I think it would be best to have a kit that "just so happens to fit" on plastic ogres

Hey, big news; Vic Minis now has a shiny, proper new shop front interface.
http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/
I would appreciate anyone who has a moment, to take a look around and let me know if there are any issues, or what I could do to make it better. I'm no web expert ,so setting this up has been quite a learning curve.
In the long run though, the Highwire interface will be much more user friendly for me and my customers, especially as the range expands.
One cool feature is the ability to leave product reviews, so I invite existing Vic Mini's customers to sign up and tell others what you think

Also, there is currently a short term impromptu deal going; the next 3 customers will receive some free cool stuff from the next upcoming wave of releases. I have a limited number of master casting in hand and will include them, each one will include the 10 man militia head sprue absolutely free, plus a few more cool new bits.
Cheers,, V

Love the new site Vic. I must say the old site had a certain charm that i was fond of, but the new site is cleaner and very well layed out.

Also love the winged boar. That thing looks brutal.



Edit - Forgot to mention, had a quick squiz around and didnt encounter any bugs or wonky pages, etc.

Likewise, didn't spot anything off-kilter from my brief nose around.

Was I just suffering from late-night stupidity, or is there no complete guardsman pack that includes the torsos and rifle arms? I could only find the conversion packs, with the torsos and rifle arms sold separately... which at 11 o'clock last night was just too hard.

I like the new store front!
Everything seems to be in working order. I registered without a hitch.
No issues navigating around.

I think I just placed an order but it seems like the payment was processed before the shipping cost was added?

When trying to complete the transaction after the shopping cart adds the $10 shipping I get this error: Unable to process your order: Payment has already been made for this InvoiceID.

Vic please let me know if my order didn't register.

let me know what you ordered or what name it was under and I will have a look. there seems to be some issues with US orders. I'm checking it out.

Love the new site! So much easier to navigate and it has a far more professional look to it.

Hi, Very happy to announce that the next wavy of bits is now in the store, there are the Militia Heads, dress torsos, sword and pistol arms plus a heap of handy little bits; bayonets, holsters, shoulder boards and goggles.
Check the out here: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/
Here's some examples of just some of the possibilities you can create.
Cheers,
V

Awesome work! Wish I had some money for that

Amazing stuff - I'd better start saving. The new website looks much improved too.

Laney

very very cool guard stuff

Amazing stuff! These are things that I could really do with to bling out my guard, thanks!

Wow! those palace guard are great.

I already placed and received a small order about a week ago, but I'm definitively going to need to make a larger order very soon.

I was also one of the 3 lucky people to get some bonus stuff in my order, the heads were simply fantastic casts and they have some truly great expressions on their faces. The holsters will come in very handy as well.

Any idea when those shotguns you were showing off will be available from your store?

Amazing just Amazing, I have just received my scenery props for my steam punk theme and now I need to order more stuff from you

Ok just checked out the site great stuff, goggles and masks separate Thank you so much for listening to your customers Epaulettes separate great idea multi uses The holsters and arms with swords and pistols great for command groups and the rough riders

Torsos look great nice design and nice alternative but where are the batten arm for the custodians ? the one in the picture you posted

Looks fantastic. Is the shopping cart issue from last week worked out?

The new store looks great, as do all the extra little bits and pieces you've added recently.

Is there any chance of having sprues of just gas masks though please? I could do with 30+ of those and the packs for my whiteshields, but don't really need 90 sets of goggles

Great work vic, I would like to point out that the laser pistol arms are not in the weapons and gear section which is a bit odd since the rifle arms are, not sure if that was done on purpose but I personally think they should be listed there.

I would also like to see a gas mask sprue for sale.

cool thanks, I have just made up a heap of new sprues to make all those bits available in sets of five of the same part. Should in the shop in about 2 weeks.

I will wait till they are available ….. and got some money

How long till the shot guns are released

How long till the shot guns are released

Still waiting for sculptor for shotgun arms, could be a few more weeks

That was quick, I might have to wait for those I really want them for my project if i can hold of that is

Perfect, thank you!

Hi, got a surprise little 2nd release for July.
The Conscript Legs are now available in the online store. There are 7 different poses and they come in two sets: 5x Standing Conscript Legs and 6x Kneeling Conscript Legs. As always, fully compatible with Vic Minis Guard range and popular plastic troops.
These are beautifully sculpted by the amazing Gregor Adrian.
Thanks for looking, V

Vic, have you seen the pics Andy Hoare's been putting up on facebook? He's using various parts from your minis to convert other things. He's even mixed them with Reaper minis (and not just "popular plastic kits" ).

It appears that your bitz work with everything!

August New Releases! Heavy Weapon Crew Arms and The Gas Mask and Goggles sprues are now available. I am very thrilled to present this super useful arms set sculpted mostly by the awesome Paul Hicks and a little bit by me. Great for heavy weapon crews, these pieces also open up some characterful new options for adding variety to commanders and squads. This set contains 14 different arms plus the bonus head shown.
Also, due to popular demand, the Gas mask and Goggles sprue is back and all the parts are now available separately. That makes five different sprues to choose from. All now in the online store. www.victoriaminiatures.com
Thanks for looking,
Vic.

Awesome as always

Oh vic you spoil us. I think i'd buy that heavy weapons crew arms pack just for the smoking head and the arm with the lighter.

Damn Snrub, that's exactly what I thought!

Awesomw vic! Lots of great character options with those arms!
