any chance of seeing a size comparison with these torsos with arms or kegs form other mini rangers?

the other only issue i see with these is that the blts are moulded onto the torso and unfortunately the majority of other ranges have belts moulded onto the legs.... this is a massive pain in the arse. I take it there is no chance of having one without the bottom belt of the combat harness on it.

The Imperium of Man is able to traverse the Warp with difficulty when their Emperor concentrates from his golden life support machine and lights the way. Unfortunately, because the Emperor has the attention span of the average 5-year-old Pokemon fanboy, this means that many an unfortunate Imperial ship has had the WTF WHERE'D THE LIGHTS GO experience, which in the Warp is invariably fatal.

Very nice beret sculpts. If I ever go back to my 'space para' Imperial Guard I'd definitely find a use for some of those.

Very nice heads. I don't think I'd buy these as I'm not a Guard player, and I think they'd look off on anything else (but great on Guard!) but I'll put my 2 cents in: I would absolutely buy heads of this skill with boonie hats and similar. It's nice to have heads that aren't a.) bare\bald and b.) screaming.

You can get kilted legs from another source, Combined with these you would have some sweet models...

These are really good. Just to second a previous poster, I have been wanting to do an Anzac/Chindit style force for a long time. If you can do them as well as these then that would be fantastic. Great sculpts, just not what I'm after at the moment (though I may get some anyway, Necromunda is beconing again )

damn, sometimes I really have a feeling that either yo can read my mind or I can read yours... but I digress...

A quick update. Here's one of the test casts of the Immortal (4 arms beast) - we'll use them to make proper joints, without gaps and so on:


Worm is undergoing identical process.
I've cut production moulds for commando heads - so I'd say it will take 2 weeks tops before they'll be ready for release (that being said I'll do my best to have them released within a week ).

Very promising releases . I like guardsman torso and heads. Wondering if you have something more to release in this topic (legs or hands would be nice).

Deep in the Woods

Hey guys.
I just wanted to say I made a big order with Maximini a few weeks ago. After mabye 2 weeks I shot them an email asking for an update on my order.

Przemek emailed me back letting me know my order was taking a bit long because of the size of it. For my extra waiting time he was going to trow in some extra stuff.

I emailed him back telling him thanks but it wasnt necesary, I knew my order was a big one and would probably take extra time. I was just wanted to be kept up to date if it wasnt much trouble.

Well I got my order from them today and everything looks great(this is the first time I have actually had their stuff in my hands). Going through my order making sure its correct I find that he had still given me a few bounus peices.
I got a sprue of these new guard armoed torsos, the hand held minigun and a full AA(ie Hydra) Turret kit.
WOW Awsome.
I have been contenplating building a guard army and now with this free hydra bit and the look of the new torsos, I think I just might. Need to spend some time with armybuilder and work out my list. then place another large order with these guys.

I know this isnt really relevant on what their new releases are, but I wanted to say how happy I am with this company and their products.

Pleasant Valley, Iowa

My combat torsos came yesterday morning. I ordered on Feb 2nd and they were delivered Feb 15th: this is substantially less time then I would have expected, and is far and away the fastest order I've gotten so far. I'm very pleased with the turnaround time, which is about twice as fast as Forge World.

Here are some pictures of a scout wearing a combat torso, in case anyone wanted a size reference. I feel they are maybe a hair small for marines, but doable. I think they would be absolutely perfect for cadians\catachans.



Still hoping for boonie hat wearing heads, and female heads!

Nice Anzac hats. Will there be more? 5 variants seems too few for a full army. A few more battered/crumpled variations would be good.

Don't really see a need for this.

However, having said that... I feel that equipment to add to existing legs would be a better road to go. New holsters, drop pouches, leg platforms ect ect.

The reason I say that is because there are loads of torso swaps, but very few legs. I gap in the market I believe

You must not have seen the new combat torsos that MM just produced. I recommend you scroll back and check them out!

Oh I will not argue that there is indeed a gap in quality leg products on the market, however most modern army's elite units use pretty much your standard cargo pants and combat boots (in various colors and forms)

Oh i saw those, while they're close i'm not the hugest fan of the packs on the back and webbing on the front, maybe for 1 model out of five but not all five. I'd still like to see a classic sci fi hardshell clamshell body armor done up in the style of colonial marines.
