Sure thing. I will surely post here any update we will have.

I'm also tracking this for the Psyfleman arms. I'd rather not have to scratch build the arms from a dozen old metal IG autocannons and a half ounce of green stuff for 'Ard Boyz in 5 weeks!

Did you glue the bitspudle arms or can they still rotate?

I never glue my Dreadnought arms, they can still rotate.

Thought I would share pictures of the Bitspudlo jumppacks I bought. This is obviously a WIP marine.




Some of the packs do have some bubbles but I think they will all be usable. I like the style, and even my wife prefers them over the new style jump packs!

Looking good! The photo from the back makes the jump pack look incredibly bulky -- it's not. MaxMini heads make your marines look incredibly mean, are they excommunicate or just kind of grim style loyalists?

I'm waiting for the painted miniatures.

As for the bubbles: these packs are basically a b*tch to cast. We'll be reworking the design a bit that'll make them easier to cast (and increase our good/bad casts ratio, at the moment the packs have the highest of our entire range).

still fancy a few backpacks/ "daemonettes" even with a couple of bubbles!

Will have to order some soon!

No you are right the packs are not overly large or really anymore bulky than the GW ones, they just sit low on the Marines. I am doing a Silver Skulls army. So grim loyalists it is.

I'm waiting for the painted miniatures.

Thanks, me too. I am concentrating more on assembly right now, trying to get everything together before an August tournament. (I've put my Tau on early retirement for now)

I believe you but just wanted to be honest. I still like them. I think I will be mixing new and old packs among the assault troopers. Being they are a current timeline army, but have been around since the Second Founding. So they would still have some old equipment in their armory.

Hello guys! Just got my flak cannons and heavy cannon turrets in the mail today! I like the new plastic pack you put the pieces in. I will start working on them very soon!

Also it seems I am an unofficial PR rep for you guys! lol I keep getting PMs about you! It seems you can't keep enough of certain parts (flak cannons) on the shelves. They are very popular!

I'm waiting to put in an order for those too, and a few of the "heavy cannon" platforms

Monday will see a nice, fat restock. We've been working on improving the quality of our casts (bubbles are bad, mmkay) and it gave a pretty impressive results.

We'll think of some way to thank you for being our unofficial PR representative

Whatever happened to the name the lady demons competition?

Looks like i'm getting Gatling Cannon's and 2 of the flak turrets when there back in stock for a razorback and some dreads

I did a quick little search of the forums with no luck, so here I go.

Has anyone found a way to easily convert these turrets to fit the existing Razorback chassis? It looks like these turrets have a much smaller mount, and I don't know if I really want to go about tearing up tanks trying to get these to fit.

Anyone bought a couple of these from the site? I'm interested in getting 2 to Australia but the site doesn't show postage - you have to go through the cart and you can't do a dummy order without making an account or giving them your email.

Good point, I'll update the site's info (we'll be moving to weight-depending postace costs, though).
Anyway worldwide shipping is 21 PLN, which means about $7.70.

I guess I should have been more specific. I was trying to figure out how to make it fit the Razorback turrent mount.

But... what for? Every gun platform set includes flat "floor" piece that happens to perfectly match the dimensions required to fit into rectangular hole on top of rhino chassis.

Now, if you'd like to have it fit the circular hole within the piece you've posted, that's a bit more complicated. But not too much, as the gun "holder" also uses a cylindric part to fit into the "floor" piece.

Would you like a top-down (same perspective as the plastic GW piece you've posted above) photo of the "floor" piece?

Possibly because they are already built? Hence why I implied that I did not want to start pulling pieces off of them.

I am sure someone has made this conversion before...

I'd recommend removing your razor hatch you already have attached, providing you didn't overglue it, it should be fairly easy. This lets you swap the vehicle from rhino - razor anyways, which is useful.

If not, lets see the top down pictures of the cylindrical piece you mentioned Tomash, and maybe the conversion (if any is necessary) is fairly easy to see?

Well, I already tried to do that once, and the hatch came off in about 4 seperate pieces....

yowch, sounds like too much super glue, or you used plastic glue/cement, which fuses the two pieces together. If that's the case then yea, a new solution is in order for you...

Aye, pretty sure that some of these have been put together with GW plastic glue, so I am having a bit of a time trying to decide if I want to try and reconfigure all my vehicles and put in a $100 order for these turrets, or not :(

I've had to tear all of mine apart to get them into razorbacks, and while a bit of a pain, it's definately worth it in the long run.

Got my flak cannon and dozer blades on the way. YIPPEE!

I don't think that is a possibility. Some of these seem to be glued on real good.

Hmm, must be something. So close to plunking down some serious cash on this. I dunno, I figured this would have been forseen by the company and special little mounts made to fit preexisting Razorbacks

Well Tomash does seem to have something for you as far as getting them to fit. Just have to wait for him to check on the board again.

Just give me some time, I should be able to make a quick photo of the plate today, so you'll get an idea what would need to be done to fit existing plastic razorbacks.

You know, it's just an accident that our turrets fit GW Rhino-based tanks

You could just cut out a plasticard disc with a hole in the middle for the new turret base.

Thanks, it would be much appreciated. And I don't want to sound like I am slandering your company, because I am not. I think what your making is good stuff!

I am just implying it would have been a shame if you were able to come up with some sort of option for your turret to fit into a complete looking mount that can simply fit into the Razorback hatch hole. Ya know, for us blokes that have other Razorback turrets and are just looking to compliment their existing collection

Have you guys thought about making turrets that can fit on top of the Rhino top doors? I was about to buy a bunch of Rhinos and use your turrets for them, but all the top doors were securely glued so I passed :( Having turrets that fit flush, on top of the doors as opposed to replacing them would make magnetizing really easy, and anyone with a Rhino with a glued hatch would love them.

Are you talking about something similar to the Sisters' rhino top piece? Because those are some pretty awesome pieces, and a similar stand-in would be pretty awesome if it were affordable.
