Looks like Pig Iron has been busy lately with some upcoming stuff. They're showing off their Masters of future releases, interesting that they're gonna do "Near Future"

Workbench Update
We thought it was well worth showing you all what we've been up recently. There's been quite a lot of work done to create masters for future sculpts as well as working on more Kolony Rebels squad leaders.
Our multi-part sprues have gone down a storm which has convinced up this is the way forward with future releases. To go with the new sculpts we've done a better, more detailed rubble sprue with broken machinery etc to add more character to your bases.
For a long time we've also been meaning to update the Heavy Infantry as the sculpts were some of our earliest so the multi-part project has given us a great opportunity to revisit the design but keep the same overall feel, add more detail and make the parts compatible with the Kolony line.
Also, on our radar are more generic Near-Future head, body and leg sprues, again, all fully compatible with the Kolony and Heavy Infantry range.
Enjoy the pics - some sculpts still need plenty of work but they give you a good idea of where we're going.

I really like those masked heads.

**BrookM**

Niiiiiiiice! Can't wait!

**notprop**

Yeah the masked heads are pretty sweet as are the body/legs.

Not sure of what the rubble is all about though - it loos rather low for a barrier?

**BrookM**

IIRC that's for base decoration, could be wrong.

**scarletsquig**

^ The rubble is just basing material.

Instead of having the metal sprue that all the parts are attached to going to waste like it does on most metal models, they decided to make something useful out of it instead.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Looks like Pig Iron is stepping up their game!

**Newabortion**

Holy gak everything I've ever wanted.
Those helmets look just great along with the masks.

Hmmmm clever. I look forward to seeing a finished model with it on.

**Flinty**

Damnit! Better heavy infantry heads! And the current ones are so lovely already!

**sockwithaticket**

Some of those parts look like resin, is this a direction they're going to take new products? I really hope so, that their minis are metal has prevented me fro buying more than headsprues from them.

**Malika2**

Those heads are a really big improvement over the older stuff!

Please redo those awesome tanks!

**BrookM**

The masters are resin, they are cast in good old pig iron.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Good looking stuff but I kept reading it as Masters of the Future, which would be pretty good name for the line.

Why dont you ask them then!

Those masked heads are awesome, now if they only had rebreathers on them...

I could see them being used for desert raiders IG.

**Boxhead**

Will theses new torsos fit on Imperial Guardsmen.

**kenshin620**

Probably, if the other ones did. Most PI stuff is scaled with gw

**sparkywtf**

sad that it will be in metal.

I may still get some stuff, but man do I haaaate metal.

They look fantastic. Nice to see them redoing some older stuff.

**Ouze**

That stuff is really fantastic, and it's leaps and bounds over previous revisions. Great job.

I did an IG project a while ago that mixed Pig Iron and Cadian stuff, and they fit and scale together just fine!

The Pig Iron stuff is ideal for the Tomorrow's War AAG game as well, if anyone is into that.

**Captain Vyper**

Stupidly good stuff there, Heads for sure probably heavy infantry order as well. NICE!

Yeah, me too. It's almost as if it was planned that way!

**Earthbeard**

Some great looking new stuff here.

Interesting idea with the sprue rubble.

**Tibbsy**

Those heavy infantry look absolutely perfect!

I want them.... Alot....
