Interesting idea actually, you could make inserts that sit in the middle if lips are unattainable with your equipment.

T Rexes with fire power are total win.

Depends what you had in mind, did you want a base topper, a whole base or a round lipped bit and a separate insert? We could do the topper by just cutting a different size circle, we could cnc and cast whole bases, or cnc and cast a round lipped part and cut a separate jewel bit to go in it. If you wanted an entire round lipped clear base, we could cnc it then cast it up in clear resin.

As promised here's a few pics of what you can do with Warmill APC doors and hatches.

Ooh! They look awesome giraffex! Seriously considering getting some designed for myself now!

That looks pretty awesome. Do you guys make Chimera-sized hatches?

It's all custom made so yeah shouldn't be a problem

Love the fortress upgrade kit !

Any idea when it willl be ready for release ?

The plan is to put them up for pre order this weekend, we just need to get some painted for pictures and finalise prices and product options. There'll be a pre order bonus as with the last release. We had planned to have it all done a while back but real life stuck its nose in.

Ona related note, I've been doing some fibreglass mouldmaking and it's fired up the urge to do some large scale modelmaking At some point I think we have to make a monster or some armour or a weapon or something!

Oh, look ! A copycat !

Definitely prefer yours though...

Harry is all angry xD

Not really lol i suppose since the first design for the barricade came from thinking "what would a real barricade need" it's inevitable there's gonna be similarities if 2 people approach it the same way.

Well, not to pour oil in the fire, but it does look obviously close.
Still, your design is far more sophisticated.
I have spent more than 2 decades of my gaming life waiting for something like it...

Yeah I'm trying to be magnanimous I'm actually stewing with rage

I've been waiting 14 years for something like it

Just got time before bed to show off some renders of the limited edition pre-order bonus for the security compound set we'll be releasing very shortly: it's a security booth / scanner / identifier to go with the gate, is a mixture of MDF and acrylic and will be very detailed with absolutely no regard for economy bwah hah hah! This is just the construction, detailing will be added once we're sure the construction works.

Noice! One of the coolest bits you have come up with yet! I can see this working really well for infinity.

Finally getting round to painting the fortress, I will get pics up when I have made some big progress!

I can't wait to see some orky laser cut designs...

Nice! That scanner is my favourite thing you have produced(will produce) since your original fort. The acryliic/mdf mix will be really nice.

Do you guys have a vacuum chamber yet for moulding? I have some bases I would potentially like to have a mould of. At the moment they are just digital designs.

@commander cain can't wait to see it mate

@zwan1one we're getting one very soon but in the meantime we just use the uni's. Are you looking to get them cnced?

@nkelsch what kind of thing would you want to see? The thing with orks is you can pretty much slap anything together out of styrene and foamboard and it looks orky, so we'd need to make something really special to be worth someone buying it.

About that Valykrie conversion kit......
Soon???

Are you guys not a PLC yet? Your products are more anticipated that the iPhone 5 launch...

Seriously though, good luck with all the good will and interest on this thread you should be able to make some money from this.

God I can nit wait to do my CAD/BIM classes in January. . . I need to think up some good ideas for my blood falcons doors and hatches for rhino's, stormravens, and land raiders. . .

Hey guys are you able to do custom shields to help protect wolves in stormy nights if you get my drift...

Why does stuff take so long?! Stuff is stupid, gets in the way of cooler stuff!

Then the cooler stuff would have to take longer cuz stuff was not in the way. That's what the world does with stuff

Here we go, painted tower pic! Great fun to paint (Side views and whatnot in my blog)



You guys need to upload more pics to the dakka gallery as the thumbnail for your blog on the main page is still the ork boss base, it will attract more people to this blog which can only mean good things for you!

Looking good there Cain! Loving the rust effects!

We had planned to have the security compound and the castle upgrade kit up for pre order last weekend, unfortunately the fibreglass mouldmaking I mentioned earlier turned into an absolute nightmare and as a result me and the girlfriend were getting by on 3 hours or less sleep a night since the start of the weekend trying to get the job done in amongst our day jobs, and it didn't leave any time for playing with toys! We've started painting now ready for a photoshoot,, so we should be good to go this weekend.

Here's a couple of pics of the nightmare job, (we weren't responsible for the sculpt ), it's a silicon jacket fibreglass mould with the cast done in polyester resin full of bronze powder which does look pretty gorgeous when it's scrubbed up with wire wool, and is apparently going in a pub in Stoke. If anyone fancies commissioning us to make a life size thingy, we can totally do it if your pockets are deep enough*. Daemon head to go above the fireplace anyone?

*pockets must be very deep

Very well done painting Cain!

Glad you're past the nightmare Warmill!

I live near Stoke - which pub is it going in?

I'm not sure actually, it may not even be in Stoke lol. We think it's a Lloyds / Wetherspoons bar, and it may have the word pool in it somewhere?

We've just posted the release announcement for our new Security Compound in news and rumours, complete with lots of lovely pics. More pics and details will follow shortly!
