This is awesome! They look perfect for my CSA-inspired IG! Any plans to do heads similar to this?

I've been playing with the idea of making another 35 Cultists or Renegade IG for my Alphas, but didn't want to use the GW IG kits (Can't be arsed filing away the aquilas and I've already got an IG army) or the GW Cultist kit (Already got 70 Cultists), nor do I fancy using the FW conversion as I don't feel they give the right feel. The greatcoat legs, trench raider torsos, shoulder pads, gasmask heads and some stubbers, and you've got some awesome Renegades!

Though a question - some of my Victoria mini IG are a bit tallet than GW IG, is this on purpose? And if so, are Victoria IG slightly taller on average? I'd rather not have Renegade militia taller than my Alpha Legion ;p

I'm sculpting my own arms, but quite frankly they're not very good so I'm waiting for someone else to do them right

Empty universal Victorian arms are next on the bench.

That's awesome!

Vic, are there any plans for a Twitter presence?

A lot of people, including me, use Twitter because Facebook isn't quite as private. Easier to use pseudonyms and such, and most other miniature designers bar GW have a presence. Well, GW do have account, but it isn't in use.

I did a wee post on who my three fave alternative mini sites are, guess who made the cut

Keep up the great work!

Amazing!

Are there any plans to make horses, btw?

And if not horses, then at least legs in riding position.

Those are already there

Btw, some of the thumbnails actually get smaller when you click/cycle them (on PC, in Chrome) - the female BFG artillery officer as a an example.

We'll have to get V to weigh in on this, but if memory serves (and it may not, it's been a while), they actually are 50mm bases - I asked her why 50s, and she said the Centurions go on 50s, and they're good bases for rough riders, etc.

But no horsies? :(

Now I just need to complete my previous three Autocannon batteries;p

A wee critique of the layout: I think it'd be easier to navigate if the the categories weren't written vertically.

Any chance of Wishlists on the site? I'd love to be able to categorise what I need for specific units and have it ready, rather than writing it down in a separate Word document.

Add it to the basket? I'm not being sarcastic but then everything would be shown on one page.

It disappears after a while, and it's mostly for planning separate projects.

Great idea, I'll look into it.

Brilliant, cheers!

Are there any horses recommended for Vic Mini models? I've been looking at Warlords Games' horses, which happen to be on sale.

They'll be rarer than rocking horse poo soon but I believe Vic's riders were designed to go with GW's Empire Pistolier horses. Those are the ones I've used with mine and they look the business.

I did some digging, and found this image of Rough Riders with Perry Horses (Warlord Games) - it looks good. Gonna order myself 20 of those, to be ready for the arrival of the Southern Belles of Doom Rough Riders.

Have the pistoliers been discontinued then?

No, it's just because they're so dear. And old.

Meh, that scale kitbash is kind of off to be honest. The parts and knife work are great, but those parts are heroic 32 sitting on truescale 28, it just looks kind of like adult torsos sitting atop those kiddy horse ride for a quarter machines that used to be outside the super market.

I think it fits well enough - the horses are maybe slightly on the short size, but horses do vary. I think the worst offender is the CSM power sword - that looks wrong.

Ordered 20 for 20£ from Warlord Games now. I think they'll work better with Victoria minis anyway.

GOD DAMN IT.

I just ordered 20 horses from Warlord Games!

Do want. Though I'm sure the witch brigade will be along sooner or later to be all "nyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, horses don't belong in 40k, nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh."

Chomping at the bit, eh?

An to those neigh sayers who canter to the idea that Equis as a war mount has rode off into the sunset in 40k, I say let 8th editions changes spur you on.



That said, when I see horses melt onto the ceiling, I suspect they may be tainted....

Hoof an exalt.
