I think the site got flooded the moment the mail went out.

Got my shipping notice earlier!

From Facebook:

Hi, as you have seen I am currently working on resin beastmen. So far I have made 5 different standing legs, 2 different kneeling legs and 10 individual heads.
I plan to release these as 5 and 10 mad squads like the other troops. I would also like to do something with the original metal squad you see here.
Let me know how many minis you want in the squad and what weapon mix you would like to see. I could do a five man squad armed just with close combat weapons.
Many thanks, V

People wanting to leave feedback or a suggestion can do so here.

Hi,

As I write this, Reaper Miniatures have begun shipping the BFG Sledgehammer to the Bones III Kickstarter backers.

That means I can begin releasing the resin accessories. During the kickstarter I had many enquirers about the availability of the crew and officer as separate resin miniatures.

As promised here they are, The BFG Crew and The BFG Female Officer These miniatures come in the Sledgehammer box as plastic "Bones" figures. This resin edition is for all the resin lovers out there and people who just want some cool crew for their artillery

Cheers, V

Got an email just now:

Greetings,
I have exciting news; On Sunday June 4th, Victoria Miniatures will be launching a shiny new web store.

I have been working behind the scenes for many months to completely overhaul the shopping experience, with new categories, new graphics, new payment options and new postage. I have re-organised much of the pricing making it more consistent, and many products will cost less than they do now.

This awesome new e-commerce platform will make shopping and browsing easy on all devices. The new checkout will accept credit cards as well as Paypal.

There will also be a new postage service, an upgrade from the current system. The new one will be faster and fully tracked worldwide. The rates will change to $15.99 USD flat rate world wide, and all orders of $100.00 USD or more FREE!

Australian customers will receive a special new flat rate, $5.99 USD and orders of $100.00 USD or more FREE!

From Facebook:

On the workbench, assembling the upcoming Beastman squad, I'm looking at doing a rifle squad and a trench raider (close combat squad)

There is also a vague release date for the Matilda now, though in no way solid: July.

The Sledgehammer and its upgrade parts will happen some time June.

**BrookM**

It's indeed an alternate Chimera chassis piece, previewed a few pages ago.

**BrookM**

Sooooooooo jelly, mine is still in limbo right now.

**BrookM**

IIRC lizard mounts were teased at some point, though I could be mistaken and these were for a private project.

**BrookM**

Maybe force refresh your browser? As there's a whole new site now.

**BrookM**

Just checked, it's also got a new link, that may explain things: https://victoria-miniatures.myshopify.com/

**BrookM**

New weapons batteries deal, three heavy weapons for $29,99

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST THREE HEAVY WEAPONS, CREW ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Five flavours:

I'm still waiting to see how the Medusa and Earthshaker carriage rules from Forge World turn out before making a decision.

From Facebook:

Greetings.

I've finished the Beastmen squad. The parts are currently at the caster and should be in store in about 3 weeks. These are a long time favorite of mine, so I am very excited about finally getting a full 10 man resin squad.

Might start calling them Beast Guard?

I am currently working on a ten man squad with close combat weapons and pistols. So watch out for the future return of Torgo's Trench Raiders.

Cheers, V

And also now available at the store:

**BrookM**

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! IT'S A HORSE! IT'S A HORSE!

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."

**BrookM**

Vents are due to it being a 3d test print.

From Facebook:

this is just the boring un-posed sculpt. Posing it will be a new test of my Z-brush skills.

**BrookM**

Did you get a track and trace number for your Bones pledge?

How are you folks (from the Kickstarter) finding your Sledgehammers to be?

Mine came in earlier today at long last. I've partially assembled one so far, but like alphaecho I'll be upgrading mine with tracks and shields next month when the budget allows for it.

So far, minimal cleanup is needed, there's a bit of flash or bit of sprue still remaining, or a very faint mold line. Super glad that the main artillery piece can be glued together with plastic glue, none of that superglue bs, many thanks for that choice!

Biggest defect amongst the three sets is that one of the three crank guys is miscast around the right shoulder, some sort of weird bubble was there that upon removal revealed a rather ugly spot. No biggy for me though, as I wasn't planning on using them all anyway, so I got two spares.

**BrookM**

Not unless your luggage is going by container ship.

It's a bit dodgy that Reaper can't even say when the ship is supposed to arrive, though this could be them going "yeah, whatever, it's finally out of our hands now, TTFN!"

€10,- please.

**BrookM**

Only part of the gun itself that looks a bit undone / underwhelming is part number 2 if we're using the instructions manual found on your site. It has a pair of dimples up front for some reason.

**BrookM**

IIRC the goggles and ammo bandoleers are OOP.

From Facebook:

Hi, messing about with parts combos for a new regiment. Suggestions, feedback welcome. Yes, there will also be female troops. Looks like I might finally get those ushanka heads done.
Cheers, V

**BrookM**

Indeed, are there also plans for female Tannenburg arms holding this type of lasgun in those poses? I am planning on getting some squads of both for a bit of mixing and it would be great if they could all use the same type rifle.

New carbines and pistols available, along with gift cards.

Hi,

I've been putting the finishing touches on a new regiment, the 'Svargan Shock Soldats'.

Here is a preview from the work bench.

They include some new gear; Svargan Las Rifles by Jake Schneider plus helmets and trencher tools on their belts, and ushanka heads.

Feedback and suggestions very welcome.

Thanks, V
