Hello, Chapterhouse studios!

As a prospective buyer I was wondering: If I were to buy 8 sets of the Spartan Marine helmets, would this come in a small package, or a large package?

Thanks!

That turret is way to big for that hull.

.....That's what she said?

Didn't the profile of the new chim change a little bit? I seem to remember the guy who designed it mentioned it in his thread, and had to change the original design accordingly....are some of the fitment issues people seem to be having due to this?

Nice Job! That should put some Imperial fear into alien flyers!

I decided to make a small change that should put even more fear into the enemies of the Emperor. Partially because I kind of agreed with what TobyDog said and partially because I ran across a little something while digging through my bits boxes for stowage and other details. What do you folks think? And a cookie to whoever correctly identifies the RL vehicle that was my inspiration.

It may have been a fight to get to this point, but what's worth having in life that isn't

Regarding the collar guards for terms will they be for the GK terms or the regular or both?

Hrmm, I can understand why a missallignment would be annoying, but I think this kit would be more for the veteran hobbyist who wants to just use the bases of it as a starting point for converion. Honestly it somewhat reminds me of the Stryker I drove years ago (though that was 8 wheels) and I am very tempted just to purchase it for that reason alone. I think with minimal fudging somone could end up with a great piece, but to the reverse of that people want to get something then just pop it on, with some minor cleaning of course, and I could see how that would be extremely annoying and they shouldn't have to use a dremel or anything on it as they should be able to take something being marketed at one item and use it right away.

Overall I like it but personally most likely won't buy one as their is little I could do with it. I do however think that the paint job is pretty bad on it, and you should have the person who did the eldar paint the tank instead for your website as I know who they are and they do amazing work. The current job is barely table top sad to say :( and since you have a nice product Nick it should really be shown well. I do however love the halberd so kudos on those.

Hrmmm BRDM's have more of a duck boat shapped front. I would honestly say a TOW stryker.

Absolutely correct. Have a Cookie!
Even though I was certain I was thinking of the SA-8 (way too long since I've played micro-armor/Air Strike/etc ).

Most of the items have gone on sale officially on the site:

Rapid Response Wheeled Chimera Conversion Kit - $13.50


Servo-Arm and Conversion Beamer Tech backpack - $9.50


Set of 5 Gun-Halberds - $6.00


Death Angel Replacement Doors for Space Marine Land Raider - $11.50


Unfortunately we do not have stock for the Storm Raven TRU-Scale conversion kit in for regular sales. I am no longer taking pre-orders for that kit as I need to ship off the kits I have already sold and build a stock for regular sales. I forecast the TRU-Scale Storm Raven conversion kit to be on the site in 2 weeks.

Thank you.

Still waiting for a better Storm Raven TRU-Scale pic.

You took mine yesterday!

Looking forward to getting it.

Looking at these nice helmets I immediately think of Honor Guard conversions and of the Gladiator movie :-)

I would have to second the call for poseable legs and arms for tau, just a 2 or 3 part arm and leg would be great. I am tired of having to cut arms or legs to get something other than the static pose. I keep looking at the models I assembled when the Tau first came out and find myself looking for a saw to give them something other than the static pose you get limited to.

The FW Crisis Suits ARE just the GW sprue with posable legs and arms plus a superior looking head. Better do female conversion sets for Fire Warriors. Or ... gasp ... Xeno terrain!

Okay, and I don't want to have to pay my first born for them. I like what Chapterhouse is putting out lately and would love to see his and his artists' artistic spin on them. Legs, arms and heads would be cool.

Or if we are wish listing some bare tau heads with conical hats, or conical helmet.

I have received my 2 Stormraven and one Wheeled Chimera kit in the mail. I will have un-boxing photos later. Thanks Nick.

Your first born costs 7£ ? That's ... affordable
Really, the extra parts cost only 7£ extra, difficult to compete with that. That's why I only have FW Crisis Suits and Broadsides.

That said, heads with conical hats are always welcome.

What exactly are the death angels? Are they a chapter or what? They were not in the 40k lexicon

I think they're a Chapterhouse creation that may be reminiscent, to some, of various Games Workshop creations, but is not legally threatening thereof.

Yeah.
After all, it's a pretty Dark subject, at the moment.

UCWATIDIDTHAR?

To put it another way, they are not-Dark Angels.

Considering I already have enough suits for 2 force org charts, I would rather not buy the whole model, and just convert the ones I have. I suspect CH could get the extra parts to be cheaper that 7(pounds, sorry, don't know how to make that symbol) seeing as the wheeled coversion kit is 13.50. Would be cool to see some arms that have the weapons built in like the forgeworld ones. Or like the original request, just some arms/legs that we could pose.

I am not too worried about it, as I have the skill necessary to make the arms pose-able, it would just be nice to see the option, or maybe a little more unique, other than Forgeworld or the basic models. If they look cool, then I would buy a premade option rather than spend the necessary time to do the conversions myself.

Screw it. I say they should make Not-Tau battle suits altogether. There are enough other uses for anime loking robot/suits that it'd hardly be IP infringement (please GOD don't start, people) and they could make some very cool looking ones, instead of the idiotic ones GW makes.

I just got my last Chapterhouse order in the mail yesterday, looks like I'm ordering again...
