It's like Christmas in February!!!

Love the shirt and would be interested in picking one up through your site.

Have you considered having an alternate t-shirt design with a Prae- I mean, "Victorian Guard" head.

Yay! February releases now in store. I'm quite chuffed with how the new pith helmet set has turned out, my other personal fave is the little grenade sprues http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/products/new-releases?pagesize=12
Thanks for looking, V

Those look awesome, bits for the bits god!

I'm going to be building a new Guard army using the tannenburgs, and the more bits selection, the better.

Only problem is I need a billion bases, so if there's any potential for a tannenburg set, like with van diemens, would make those 40 odd normal guardsmen I need a little easier to acquire.

You can pick up bases pretty cheap on Feebay.

Coming in March, Victorian and Tannenburg squad packs, new kilt legs, new dress Cap heads.

Well that's awesome, fits right in with my budget schedule. Gives me just enough time to finish painting the last of my marines.

Yes, that's my only suggestion for improvement - also do another design in the same style but with a non-beasty head.. A "Victorian Guard" head would certainly be appropriate.

Wow thats a huge release. Love the seated legs. They're gonna look so good sitting on the side of tanks. They'll also make from great diorama pieces.

Cheers Vic.

Fusion gun arms with the proper armoured panels?

I'd snap up a Victorian Guard t-shirt of a similar style to the beastman one.

Just remember 3XL......

Wow the fusion guns are only 2 bucks. That's cheaper than most bitz sites are asking for them.

And of course, I already own 15 meltaguns that I managed to snag before GW switched the meltagun packs to resin.

Man I was doing so good not ordering things and saving money, then Kromlech releases their meganobs and you release this stuff within a week of each other.

Dangit vic, how am I going to get a new car if you keep releasing things that I want?!?!

Vic, I sent you an email about my order, did you get it?

Can you send again please.

Just sent it again.

Hi, I am currently in the process of adding some galleries to www.victoriaminiatures.com There is a special guest gallery for people to show off their minis. I'd love to hear from you if you have a good photo of one or more figure that uses bits from the Vic Minis range. These can be entirely Vic Minis models or conversions you have done from other manufacturers. Anything decent tabletop quality and above welcome. Email me your pics, name, links (if any) and a little screed about your models.
Thanks,V
Heres a nice example from Andy Hoare: Victorian Guard Naval Brigade

Still hoping for Cadian like shoulder pads to add more of your models to my Cadian force.

Any progress on those female IG?

Javin if you want Cadian like shoulder pads, then either buy some Cadians or find a bitz site that sells Cadian arms. Vic might have no intention of ever doing shoulder pads and your nagging isn't getting you anywhere.


The gallery is a really good idea Vic. I'll be sure to check it out!

That's gong to be hard to make those shoulder pads for vics mini's. I'm not sure if you've ever seen her stuff, but the shoulder armor cadians use would be gigantic on Vic's arms.

Try your hand at greenstuff man. A smooth shape shouldn't be too hard. That, or use something like a ping pong ball and cut it up to make that spherical armor shape.

The problem with what you want is that it's a really finicky bit, and would be hard to market.

Alternatively, you could order the arms vic makes with the combat armor on the shoulders. It's not quite cadian styled, but it's in the same vein.

OR you could get some cadian arms and combine them with vic's in some way. Some of her stuff is switching to resin so who knows maybe the arms will too.

I think he means 2nd edition style Cadians not the plastics.



The simple arc should be do-able but the eagle would be a challenge.

Heads in that helmet style would also be popular, as would old RT era style heads...

Just in case anyone is looking for ideas

First I love her models. So yes, I ask.

Second old RT shoulder pads would be just as good as newer rounded ones. I would expect those to be smaller to fit her minis.

Third I recommend her Kilted legs. Very easy to work with and they look great.

I keep asking because I like her arms but I think shoulder pads would help me blend her models in with my current army.

Lastly keep up the awesome work Vic .

I never thought of ping pong balls. I am terrible at greenstuff. I will try that out, thank you.

All looks fantastic! and very tempting to add a squad to my guard army just to use them! :-) you've managed some really characterful models Vic and it's always exciting to see what you produce even if i'm not a fan of metal it's a sign of how good your products are that i am thinking about it ! :-)

I'd like to third this. I would be having to place a very large order if that kind of shoulder armor and helmets.

Helmets that look like the aliens colonial marines helmets or the older metal cadians would be excellent.

Just got my new Pith heads and officer arms in today!
They're as sexy as they look folks! Love the goggles on the helmets, nice touch!

All Victoria Miniatures orders over $10 now ship free, anywhere in the world.
Cheers, V

Squeeeee

It's such a nice gesture, and it bumps up ordering from Vic in my priority scale a whole lot....
