Well, they promised a replacement to me publicly on this forum and that never happened...

@Flachzange: Cheers! They're pretty cool actually. They mesh surprisingly well with the dread kit.

@Gits: Looks that way. Works though.

Actually Crayola... that seems to be EXACTLY the argument you were making. Can't see any other way to interpret the above statement as it seems your only documented complaint was with the shipping. If this wasn't your reasoning, you should be a little more careful forming your argument... especially when you're going to slam someone on their own thread.

Minus the part where I made two independent sentences in which one described the customer service and then another about shipping. You see, in adult language this expresses two different ideas and/or thought. I then clarified when people attributed them both to the latter to clearly distinguish further. In other words, nope.

You should probably be a little more careful with understanding language.

Actually, just to say, his was not a unique interpretation and this most recent post, well, it won't earn you a lot of support, even if you are a decent fellow - which honestly, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

I order stuff from EU all the time, some takes a while. Sounds like you do indeed have two gripes;
1 - They take up to 48 hours to respond
2 - Shipping from Poland did not meet your expectations.

Regarding the first one, to me that is more than reasonable considering this is not a hundred million dollar company - its a group of artists trying to make products for gamers. I am going to guess most of them have day jobs as well.

Regarding the second one - I would perhaps just be a bit more careful in the future in understanding international shipping, especially in different parts of the EU.

Even forgeworld stuff occasionally takes a while. I do hope you enjoy the stuff they make - I find most of it to be innovative and quite creative.

What happened to the ork head flash drive?

Sleepy Hollow Heads released (7€, set contains 10 Sleepy Hollow Heads, 3 of each type and 1 random):

They still believe in blurry pics

Some WIP:

Those Horus-looking Egyptian Shoulderpads would be extremely odd if you had a guy with those of those and the Horus head.

Those pads are pretty damn cool.

Are those genuinely blurry pictures, or just poor casting quality? I'm looking to pick up those heads, and I want to know where I stand with them.

This. I was a little disappointed with the Egyptian heads when they became resin sculpts. I just hope this is a bad pic and a good paintjob will really bring the details out.

Horus pads are pretty cool, hope they come out with a bunch of similar ones also!

Still in love with the dread arms. They really set themselves apart from the plethora of others on the market and actually have had some thought put into the design where most seem to be a direct copy of GW's own.

I love those arms, got myself two pairs of those for my venerable dreads and now after seeing this photo i want a contemptor for them now !

Hopefully they release some other shoulderpads to go along with the Falcon.

Really? I found the sculpts to be pretty good quality. The Bast sculpt doesn't have as deep cuts as the others, but the detail wasn't obscured at all.

Only problem I've found is that they're smaller than Space Marine helmets, so a little greenstuff around the neck may be necessary.

Tried looking for some dread-arms, but I think their website was down...

Edit: Whatever was happening last night, looks like it is working now.

Good news then!



Now they need to release Egyptian-themed automatic rifles...

Updated WIP pic of the turret:

They'd like to know what weapon options you would prefer.

TL, Las/Plas, TLAC

Las/Plas

Could you make a Whirlwind weapon layout for that?

Consider all your suggestions done

Any chance of a mount to fit it in place of a Chimaera turret to make Hydras?

Could you do a heavy flamer version of that turret? Then I could count it either as a heavy flamer turret for a Razorback or a Flamestorm Cannon for a Baal Predator.

Do you have a likely release date for these? Just wondering as In really want to pick up a few pieces from your site and I don't want to place an order and have this come out 2 days later. I've done that before with other companies, it's a real moment.

One more question, how big are these turret platforms http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=40 ? I'm looking for alternatives to gun servitors and so I'm curious about the scale.

Just released: VSE Heavy motorcycle with mounted weapon (10€):
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=112

Well waiting for answers to my questions can wait! Those are brilliant, I've always disliked the Space Marine attack bike model so count me in for two of these right now.

Brilliant... takes the "attack bike" concept and revitalises it completely.

Well done!

Padre^.

PS Now can we get an extra-armour add-on kit for the SM Dreadnought please?

I like the fact that an effort has been made to balance the heavy weapon hanging off the side.

Not as keen on the fact that it's just a single rider, as attack bikes should have two. I got around that with my quad bike conversions by including an auto-sensor to fire the gun, but this guy is all by his lonesome.

I am waiting for a rules lawyer to argue that this thing only has line-of-sight on the side it is mounted on.

I like those bikes, although I would like to see a "scout" version of it with grenade launchers instead of guns.

Mmmm Polish Space Marines

Looks pretty neat but yes I'll echo a grenade launcher version (even if scout bikers arent very popular)

Why is that a problem? You do realize there's nothing in the attack bike profile which necessitates actually having two infantrymen of sorts modelled on? If this were IG weapon team stand-ins modelled as lone gunmen there'd be a problem, but I don't see it here.

@OP: *LOVE* that turret! one big thing (I believe I hinted at this before): *pleasepleaseplease* make that gunner an easily replaceable component... I'd so hate to have to get my dremel out to get something else in that position. (not that there's anything wrong with your take on powered armour, it has a charm of it's own! but that is at the same time my problem, haha)

d-usa wrote:I am waiting for a rules lawyer to argue that this thing only has line-of-sight on the side it is mounted on.

Why? It's a bike... so just like GW's attack bike, can be turned to face its target when you want to shoot.

The only rules issue with this design is not being able to fire the 'bolters' on the same turn as the heavy weapon, due to only having a single rider.

The problem is that bikes get to fire a single weapon per rider. GW's attack bike can fire the heavy weapon and the bolters in the same turn. This one can't.

Not a huge problem, but an issue nonetheless.

I think most people would argue that since a single Space Marine has 1 wound on his profile, an attack bike with 2 wounds on the profile should have two space marines modeled on it. Not really any reason for that rule-wise, but I think that is just something that people are used to. Don't know if that is the reason for insaniak, but I could see that line of reasoning.
Edit: got sniped. Also looks like insaniak has a different reason than I did for wanting two riders.

Just say it is a Harley and the Machine Spirit is strong in this one

yes, I just looked it up (had to know, for a moment I thought someone was *wrong* on the internet ) and you're completely right! mea culpa etc.
I must say those rules are one prime example or atrocious rules writing. I guess "naaaah, they can't possibly have worded it so badly" is as unsafe a rule with GW as with WOTC nowadays.

anyone who argues it's a problem on what is clearly a 'counts as' model is, however, the kind of RAW-waaco you'd be better off not playing. oh well
