LOL

But seriously. Where are the pics.

:lol:
@MajorTom11: currently the pics lay on my friends camera. Waiting to get them emailed to me.

The AA Turret has been finished and added to the webstore:



Expect missiles upgrade pack soon
The kit has been built in a way that should make attaching the turret to custom terrain , vehicles etc really easy. The turret sits on a postioning ring that's easily glued to even partially flat surfaces.

Is the turret going to be a webstore only item, or will it be offered through your resellers?

As soon as we get through the pains of fininding proper packaging for the stores it will be offered through resellers .
I'm rather against webstore exclusives .

You guys really did a top notch job on that turret, congrats! Maybe a pic next to a Dreadnaught for scale reference???

On another note -

But seriously. Where are the pics.

Twin-linked autocannon dreadnought weapons - looks good!

What's the diameter of this ring please?

More like a hydra turret if you ask me...

That's def the primary purpose I believe, Hydra's ftw!

However, just wondering if there were more ways to use it too, hence the incidental scale purposes dread shot. Not that I would ever put them on a Dread. They would cost far too little next to forgeworld Im sure so why would I even think of such a thing???

Those are some sexy turrets; well done lads!

And that is a freaky picture... good lord. Yet, I can't look away.

pretty sweet! too expensive for my taste but excellent job

Turret is cool, it made me check out their website. i just had to order some of those large shoulder pads never heard of maxmini before but they are now on my bookmark list

@MajorTom11: you don't get distracted easily, do you ?
Here are the pics of the prototypes FreakForge has sent:



I'll upload pics of the grey resin casts soon (I've noticed that multicolor putties distract the eyes slightly).
Will add some extra detailing (like some texture on the grips) and they're ready to go .

Niiiiice. Very nice.

Love the turret - great work!

Very impressed by the Ad Mech / Iron Hands weapons...look good.

And extremely freaked out by the Sesame Street dude... I thought images like that were banned under the Geneva Convention!!!

Padre^.

Very nice. You know what I've always wanted? Servo arms. They are tough to get a hold on the bits market, and could be used in so many ways and places by IG, Marines, Orks, Chaos, SOB, INQ and even Tau if you choose the right setting.

Holy hell! Those are some Sexy weapons. Love the long handled axe and the double edged sword especially. Will probably order some of those. VERY nice.

Man those weapons are AWESOME.

That turret is way too expensive for me to be comfortable buying, though.

Holy Admech, Batman. Those are awesome and I need 50.

I've noticed all the comments re the price for the turret, and I agree - that is WAY overpriced, IMHO. I thought at first it must have been a typo on the site...

Major, hate to tell you this...but Forgeworld is one HELL of a lot cheaper for the arms to make a Dread armed with quad-autocannons. $23 AUD plus postage for the Forgeworld arms (which are effortless - no conversion required), versus AUD$37.50 plus postage (plus the effort to mount them.)

Definitely works out cheaper versus the FW Hydra kit, but for Dreads...forget it.

Padre^.

Yeah. I generally draw the line myself at FW prices. This third party option is more expensive than, and likely less high quality than, FW? That's generally gonna be a no go.

Well, the price is the price, but I can say via personal experience that Maxmini stuff is usually BETTER quality than FW.

Far few mold lines and flash problems, and the resin the use is easier to work with...

Way to kill my excitement for hydra conversions. Lol at Forgeworld prices.

Was interested in the Autocannon turret, but definitely not at that price.

well, it's actually cheaper than similar FW kit .....
As for quality - we work hard to offer one of the best resin casts in this hobby.
but agree, it would be rather expensive as a dread version.
In generall - vote with your wallet. We do our best to offer competitive prices but high quality resin kits simply can't be cheap due to the work involved (and I might also mention retailer discounts...) .
I understand your perspective (I'm a gamer too), but trust me - from the other side our hobby looks rather cheap.

Przemas, any chance of just the autocannons being available?
And approximately what is the timeline of those WONDERFUL swords being available?

@wolfshadow: no promises but we'll discuss such option . IMO would make perfect sense . But at the same time I wonder about possible uses - the guns are quite big .
If all goes well we'll be able to release steampunk cc weapons within a month .
