Hi Guys, its been wayyyy to long between releases for Victoria Miniatures, so expect quite a few in the coming weeks, starting with this:

Penal Guard Conversion Kit: Contains x 9 convict heads and torsos plus one officer head. Fully compatible with the Highland Guard. Available now!.
All the bits are also available separately, followed closely by some more releases to be announced soon.




Cheers and happy gaming,
V

Those look great, I really like the expressions they are making.

I see Riddic and Hannibal, but who's the third face?

Now these are conversion kits! Although I dont have any uses for penal legions

These are pretty nice I have to say ;D

HA ha, well spotted!
The other seven are just assorted cons.

Thanks for that comment, I really wanted to do some expressive faces, I see a lot of heads that look either totally bored or dead.
Cheers,

Wow, how fortuitous. I was just thinking about building a Penal Legion centered Imperial Guard army, but wasn't sure what to do for miniatures.

That's actually a rather nice set. Full of character, and fairly well sculpted.

I especially like the head with the glasses though, you may want to make a sprue of heads with just those. They're characterful enough I'd be interested in a regiment made up with just those.

Job's a good one.

Ah, I wish those were out while I was working on my hybrids! Great sculpts, exactly what I was looking for at the time, and I am sure there will be others wanting the same!

Magnificent work as always.

Very cool! I like those a lot.

oooooooooooh, these are so nice, I could have a ork prisoner unit.

Some of these remind me of prisoners from Alien3. That is what I always thought a future penal unit would be like.

Is it just me or does the middle one on the second row look like an evil picard! Nice work though, I'll send my mate the link for these, he loves Penal troops!

Looks more like Locke from Lost to me...


Those are some wonderful, expressive faces. Job well done.

Hey, it's the cast from Alien 3!

Well sculpted.

Oh yeah...I didn't see that until you mentioned it...I might have to buy some of these, the world needs more of John Locke!

It's a testament to the detail and quality when people don't just look at them and say "yep, that's a face" but when they start likening the detailed faces to TV Shows and Movies.

This is some of the best stuff I've seen. The disgruntled expressions on the faces make them all the more convict-looking. Amazing.

Wow! thanks for all the great feedback, it is really encouraging.

Cool, actually that face was loosely based on Sean Connery, I was thinking he might make a re-appearance leading some Highland Guard

These are really nice. When will they be available at your webshop?

I'm getting a John Locke from "Lost" vibe from the guy in the very middle. Very nice for conversions!

Thanks for the interest. There will be a few sets at MOAB on Saturday. I will officially put them up in the store as soon as I know for sure when the production casts will be ready. I would hope this will be some time next week. I also have to settle on a price.
Cheers,
V

I'll definitely be getting a few of these - rare to see faces with so much character!

These are epic win

Very nice indeed!

really nice stuff. shadowforge could learn a lot from these guys.

Really nice set, and just enough parts to make them look like Penal Troops! Awesome work.

Would be interested to see your take on Stormtroopers, although rumour has it that GW will be doing those anytime "soon".

Thanks, actually the final set is planned to have the ten heads and 3x the torso sprue making 9x convict torsos and heads plus 1 officer head.
Or would people prefer less torsos?

That sounds perfect to me, to represent a penal squad as it appears in the current IG codex...

Need these!
Do you sell in the UK Victoria?
