Nice one Loki! and thanks for explaining it to us less enlightened bods Padre. Don't recall hearing of the British AT rifle before.

I've actually handled a real Boys Anti-Tank Rifle...

and you would have to be a Space Marine to fire it from the shoulder - they're a monstrous weapon. Not often I say this, but I'm glad we didn't get to fire it...

I like to see the prices before I commit to buy

Hope you haven't taken my comment seriously

. I simply meant that before you're being actually charged anything PayPal informs you how much it will be.
I've been thinking about more currencies in the webstore , but the exchange rates are currently unstable and it would be a pain to keep the rates ok (I'd need to update them manually really often). Also note that the funds do not go straight to our bank account - they accumulate on PayPal. So 20 GBP this week may be something different 2 weeks later.
I want to get new webstore software and I'll remember to ask our web guru whether it would be possible for the webstore to show estimated cost in other currencies even though finally customer will be charged in EUR/USD

. Hopefully that will help

Good news guys - just got remastered prints of gothic backpacks. They are way better - to the point I'll be happy to release them - they'll be out soon

.

**mullet_steve**

Re Mastered? Ohhhh show us please?

**Przemas**

soon mate - but I guess you wouldn't be able to check how much different they are. I'd need to show you the first prints, which were rather bad (would take enormous amount of work to correct them). But the new 3d printing company we've started working with is excellent - I'm sure we'll use their services on a regular basis

Quick progress on the backpacks - I made production moulds and they work nicely. Here's a quick pic of the first casts

Turned out lovely - can't wait to add them to the webstore. I should have sufficient stock next week

.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Really like these. That is just what backpacks should look like for me :thumsup:

Maybe in the not so grimdark future I will get some and the helms and actually finish my SW's

**Vitruvian XVII**

Is it just me or does the detail look a little soft? I love the sculpts though.

If i could justify starting BT or SoB i would be all over these like a bad rash!

**Orinoco**

will be good for sisters of battle.

**mullet_steve**

those do look lovely and although the details are possibly a bit soft but I saw the rendering and it is probably completely in scale because the images looked awesome. maybe it's a trick of scaling the model down and the detail up? Have these been worked on after the rapid prototyping or are these raw from the shop?

**Przemas**

the thing we've learned during this project is that when you make a 3d mesh you need to emphasize the details more. As you see much larger image on the monitor it often happens that something that looked overdone on a screen turns out really small when scaled down. So I'd say the detail is not soft - it's there but it's really fine, delicate.
As I mentioned earlier 3d design is something we're still learning - that's the reason it took so long before we've finished those. I've been waiting till I was happy with the results

Those are a scream Prezemas! No idea what I'd do with them... but I think they just made the "must order" list.

**SickSix**

I want to report that I received my order today and I am very pleased. I ordered a set of skulls, skull tribe helmets, zombie heads and master of the skull tribe set. The detail is great, very little flash, and only a few small bubbles, and one of the master of the skull tribe shoulder pads has a slight miscast, but I can work with it. Overall I am super excited to use these pieces to customize my WIP Silver Skull space marines!

Also the packs look very nice!

**Przemas**

I've just added gothic backpacks to the webstore:

**AesSedai**

Really nice stuff. Perfect for SOB!

**Kingsley**

Love 'em.

**Ouze**

Those look fine for SOB, indeed.

**Sersi**

Those are really nice... But I can't really see using on anything other than SOB or some steam punk stuff really. Still great job!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

They look very splendid in that colour scheme!!
Me want

I think these are my favourite SM accessories!

**insaniak**

Lovely stuff. I could definitely see a few of those scattered through Veteran squads in older armour marks, or using them on Black Legion or Night Lords in less mutated armour.

**Guildsman**

I could even see those thrown into a Malifaux crew for some light customization. Very cool!

**SlaveToDorkness**

Oh yeah.... I'm going to have to drag out my Word Bearers this week and see how many of those packs I need.

As if I needed another project...lol

I get paid Friday, a chunk of it will head directly to Maxmini!

**Przemas**

thx guys

. It has taken a while to get those done, but seeing how they have turned out I'm pretty pleased I've been so picky

.

But that's not the end of goodies

. Here's a pic of the next set, by new guy on the block - Mikhail:

Those conquistador heads should be out within 2 weeks. I hope to see more sculpts by Mikhail in the near future

.

**Vitruvian XVII**

Those look very nice, really crisp detail on the sculpt and cast, good job!

**Cadichan Support**

WOW!

AN IG PLAYER'S DREAM.

BOOKMARKED

**Gitsplitta**

Be a good basis for a rifleman dread conversion too.

**ph34r**

Those backpacks look really good. Great stuff.

**MadCowCrazy**

Could we please get some good female heads? Why doesn't anyone make those? The ones on the market aren't very good :(
