Can I just say, while girl!Marbo is great and I appreciate the recursive nature of a parody of a parody, I do also want to know why no-one has done a not-Sarah Connor yet?

New sisters are coming, I haven't yet painted my Victoria IG units, but this new free mini is making is hard to resist. I mean, I haven't got any Svargan yet. And a mixed-gender 10 guard strong Svargan unit is just expensive enough to get me a free miniature... Damnit! Why am I collecting an IG army of only infantry without special weapons and tons of characters, no tanks? It look like the most (money) expensive, most time-consuming to paint, most time-consuming to play, and certainly not the most efficient army possible!
But at least I'll get cool models, even if I never actually play them.

I tried ordering a bunch of stuff, but I only get 1 free mini for every 50$ and I'm not sure I got the discount. Is the promotion already active?
(I'm buying some Mini of the month to unlock more Mini of the month for free lol)

Ordered me some tank turrets to fuel my unquenchable appetite for armour conversion, some torsos etc, and got a few miniatures of the month, at this point I'm getting quite imaginative for miniature of the month conversions as you may guess.
I can also just recommend Victoria Miniatures. I got two orders over the last year and currently I'm working on some female arcadians. The quality is just great and the price very reasonable. I will definitly get the Kangaroo somewhere in the future.

Are there bits for more of those female "Jungle fighters"?

Most of you will be aware of the tragic bush fire crisis ongoing in Australia. I thank those of you who have checked in to see if we are ok at Victoria Miniatures. We are located in the southern metropolitan suburbs of Adelaide, so aside from smoke, we are not directly affected.
However, my home state of South Australia has been impacted. At the time of writing, the worst of it is on Kangaroo Island. In addition to the tragic loss of homes and human life, the devastation of pristine wilderness, unique native animals, farm and livestock is utterly overwhelming.
Therefore, I am seeking to do what I can to raise funds for the South Australian RSPCA (Royal Society for the Protection of Animals).
For every Kangaroo APC kit sold during January, Victoria Miniatures, in conjunction with our resin caster's at Trench Worx will donate $50.00 USD (around $73.00 AUD) to the RSPCA.
Each Kangaroo APC sold during this period will also include a free pre-release Hedgerow Cutter. A kangaroo purchase will also qualify for a free miniature of the month of your choice.
Please help share with your hobby friends
Thank you, V

OMG! I could not believe it when I checked our sales this morning. At the time or writing, we have sold 86 Bushfire Kangaroo APC’s. In less than 24 hours, you amazing people have raised an incredible $4,300 USD (over $6000 AUD).
I am absolutely blown away with the generosity and good will of the wonderful Miniature Hobby community. I can only say ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you’ with all my heart, to everyone who has purchased, donated, shared or told their friends about our ‘little’ fundraiser.
I started this yesterday with 150 Kangaroo APC’s on hand, thinking it would be more than enough to easily get us through to the end of the month. I am delighted to have been completely wrong.
Looking at how to keep going forward with this, I have just had a talk with our brilliant casting experts at Trench Worx in Utah. Creating hand cast resin kits is a time-consuming process. Yet, these lovely folks, have committed to doing everything they can to keep the fundraiser going. I can’t thank our US friends enough, for the passion, skills, extra time and resources they are happily contributing. It would not be possible without them.
So, please everyone, keep sharing, keep supporting. We are deeply moved by what you have achieved. We also are a little overwhelmed, but bear with us, we are doing all we can to get orders shipped and inquiries answered asap.
I will look at getting the initial collected funds transferred to the RSPCA early next week. I will keep everyone informed as we go.
