Hi folks, a big personal thanks to all the Dakkanaughts for sticking with Vic Minis, even when I was not around. And to Jake, who is obviously awesome, and without whom my troops would be armed with pathetic sticks.
Here's the second Vic Mini's Fem Guard release #Tannenburg #Femburg
I really appreciate all who waited for these. There is a huge amount of work involved in getting all the ducks in a row for a release like this, your ongoing community encouragement and support is amazing and much appreciated.
Thanks, V

Wasn't going to order anything, but the drummer girl is brilliant and well, couldn't order just her and be done with it.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

Umm are the legs universal? Because the ladies seem a bit lacking in hips.... And having wider hips than a guy is one of the things that makes a woman look like a woman.

Oh yeah, please

Now for those Victorian Female torsos...
And maybe some female kilts and/or greatcoat legs....

Vic has a news letter?

The sign-up box is on the left-hand column below the product categories Just enter your email and hit enter! Often-times the info is up on FB and/or Dakka quicker than the email is, but if you read your emails more regularly it is good. And sometimes little snippets make their way into the newsletter that don't get posted on FB and Dakka, like the Tannenburg hint...

Hey, throwing money at the screen and yelling to take my money works sometimes!

Kidding aside, I would like some Heavy Weapons but I'm just not as sold on the guns themselves especially as I have a plethora of guns left over from my dozens of Cadian HWTs. Do the carriages accommodate the bitz of the leading manufacturer well? Given the the cross-compatibility common in Vic's ranges I assume so, but I figured I'd ask people who might know.

So incredibly worth the wait. I love the drummer girl, though I'm struggling to think of a good counts-as for her. Priest maybe? Instead of hymns, she has epic solos.

I'm using mine as a Vexilarius for my Solar Auxilia, beats converting up another model with banner.

Banner girl?

Oh - and: Damn fine miniatures, although I'm sticking to my Arcadians for now - but if I reach the point of wanting a second IG regiment I'll probably go Tannenburgs

Happy to see you're getting 2016 off to a good start! Yet more lovely minis and bits here.

feth I'm an idiot. How did I not think of that?

Now I'm having the challenge of figuring out how many squads of special weapons I need and how many squads of normal rifles and how many of shotguns.

Decisions decisions decisions.

Are there any troopers that match the ones that come with the giant cannon from the reaper fundraiser? I'd do a platoon of them to go with that if they did exist, but they don't quite seem to match any of the ranges on the web page.... ...maybe in the future?

I thought the Kickstarter Cannon crew were Tannerburg? In slightly different uniforms as they are artillery(wo)men/siege engineers, but Tannenburg none-the-less.

Maybe. Their tunics are much longer.

Now all we need are some female Arbites

(Vickers MG) No it won't be. LDD shared it over from my facebook site, it was done for another client (Gorgon Minis) who does historical stuff. It's actually not a Vickers, it's a Polish pirated copy of the Browning.

Drummer Girl: Vox unit, anyone? Those and horns ARE the original radios, after all!

These look pretty great.


Hopefully you do some female Catachan equivalents some day.

Largely compatible. You might have to do a little shaving or filling in spots. It wasn't designed to specifically accommodate them, but I've seen people do it on blogs.

It makes sense for use in 40k as well, what with the crappy rules vox casters have in that setting.

Though where I'm going the vox casters actually work and thus, it's less about communication and more about raising morale for the rest of the cohort.

The morale boosting thing makes me think she'd be a good priest stand in; war hymns and all that.

Little drummer girl boosting morale of the troops, only to hulk out in melee and tear an Ogryn to shreds?

If it's her that's hulking out I'd suggest running her as a Priest and let the drums count as an Eviscerator

I really love the Tannenburg line and I'm thinking about an AM kill team with them...

Is it possible, however, to swap the Arcadian troops in the heavy weapons packs for Tannenburg troops instead?

Thanks faolan! I decided to get a couple carriages to try it out on based on what I could find. I figure in a worst case I can order a multi-pack later and use the "extra" guns with those carriages.

Now the waiting game begins...

It's like you want my wallet to be unhappy

Could probably use one of the Vic minis chainswords and a strap to give her an eviscerator.

Especially since there is a great, two handed chainsword...
