I feel amazed every time I look at this tread

Really cool bases!

Weeooo!

Things are looking up! Just completed all the box artwork and instructions - if any of you are graphic designers and receive our work - please dont be to critical!

Got a busy week of casting and cutting to complete the orders for the compound and forts that have been flooding in!

We have a few things in the planning stages so next year looks busty (I MEAN BUSY!) already!

Do tell.

Indeed... The walls cut in a green or blue acrylic with just the bracing painted as metal would look pretty freaking amazing.

Out of curiosity (sorry if I missed it somewhere) do you guys do tokens and counters et al as well?

they do custome work so if you can provide clean crisp (preferably vector line) artwork then almost anything is possible however they have to fit everything in and only have one machine so expect a reasonable waiting time... or just do a drawing and fax/email it to them?

Nice compund warmill! Are you coing to make some rules for it? it may make people want to buy themeven more!

HAZZER

Hey steve where you been? How's that bomma coming along?

@Hazzer rules are something for people to come up with themselves depending on what game they play. Hacking the process unit to break into a research lab or just using a demo charge to blow the fence open would be pretty cool for starters.

Our castle painting mate has been busy again, doing up a barricade with the chaos star detail plate option and a special firing slit plate. How cool would a battlefield look with guardsmen swarming all over a gory Blood Pact outpost? Also, a Tzeentchian fort with blue and orange acrylic parts = such a cool idea I think my head exploded

More pics to be posted when I get home and resize them

I've been very busy at work and I've started a foundation degree in nursing so the progress has been stalled, plus I cannot get an inbuilt power unit for it that works so my keen has been erroded a little... good to see you guys are still bombing along making the world a better place one release at a time

Hah yeah love that real life eh? I'm hoping to find some time to actually hobby for myself over christmas!

Good luck with that. Dakka owns you now, and as such all hte dakkanites are clamoring for more and more. . . its actually kinda scary. . . .

well I cannot resist any more, you sir have my business this day....hoohah!

Great looking stuff, gotta get me a fortress kit and that compound as well.

Why...must you put me into debt...

My christmas self gift has been found.

Me too! I sent the link to the wife earlier with a heavy handed hint about wanting it for the X-mas. She replied wanting to know which wall style I wanted so I know what's going to be under my Yule Tree this year!

Thanks for the kind words guys! Ed's been a machine on the casting and I've been running the laser ragged. My Christmas gift to myself is going to be some sleep, at this rate I think I'm gonna just put a bed in the workshop . We're all set to get the pre-orders posted out tonight after work, so UK and possibly eurozone customers should have their orders this weekend. Next up, instructions and box art for the fortress upgrade kit to go up for sale after christmas.

Just like Tony Stark

I though Tony Stark just built a new workshop in the half the bedroom he wasn't using??? No one's bed is going to be that large even a man hore like tony

The comic-verse (as opposed to the movie ones) Stark for a long time prefered to just invent, in a hidden room that was kinda dingy, little more than bare breezeblock walls, a single lightbulb, a workstation and a crummy mattress.

Well were getting off topic here but...
I think that depends on who's writing the comic at the time plus he's gone through a lot of changes over the years I guess it depends on many things but in the comics I have read Tony has never been that adverse to luxury, or man whoring?

Yes keep producing such wonderfull works! When i place my order it will b epic!

I just received my Security Compound.

Awesome ! Thanks a bunch for the effort you put in.

The only thing I am wondering is why there´s no lettering on the Quarantine Style fence pieces...

The lettering we airbrushed on with spray masks. If it's causing confusion we'll take the lettering off the little label images.

The last week has been a bit of a nightmare with the day jobs. Hopefully we can get on with some fun stuff over the next few weeks.

WarMill wrote:The lettering we airbrushed on with spray masks.

Glad to hear it, I also ordered Quarantine and prefer it without. Moloch, I hope to see some Tyranid containment compounds from you! Mine will be a great narrative piece between my Catachan and jungle Tyranids, and will probably spur me to make a counts-as "Ordos Xenos Inquisitor and Retinue" command squad for my IG.

Can't wait to get going on the model as soon as it arrives, it's my big holiday gift for myself.

Hi all

Well we've been absent from here for a couple weeks now getting orders out, tying up loose ends and mostly getting buried by the day jobs but now we might actually be able to get back on with making cool stuff! Ed was a hero with the moulding and casting for the Compound pre-orders as I got tied up with some freelance work, right before his day job started claiming all his time (boo!).

Currently on the job list, finish updating the boxart for the Battlesnap stuff ready for the upgrade kit to be launched in the new year once I pull my finger out and get the instructions finished (the renders are done, they just need putting in a readable format). Ed's been drafting some concepts for some very interesting bridges and walkways for Street Wars, very different from other stuff on the market right now. We want to really push the style of architecture out there for this range. I've been working on a modular utility building to go in the Fortress, the idea being it's a futuristic military version of those shipping crate offices you get on building sites that can be air-dropped and stacked in a spaceship hold. We've also been discussing some Ancient Techron scenery, we've got a couple of ideas floating around that will get tied down in the new year.

Also, having seen Pekel's blog and the rather sexy job he's done of painting up his Security Compound, I knocked these up tonight for a laugh . Since we seem to attract dinosaur fans (and why not? They are sexy awesome) hopefully they will be appreciated

Cheers all
Harry

The Jurassic Park tokens are awesome! Going to have to order a few in color to use as objective markers when I get some more funds. Thanks for the surprise!

For those who haven't seen it, I've started working on my Quarantine compound. It's not done yet - I'll get better photos when it's finished - but you can see some of it here. I set up a diorama of my Catachan versus Tyranids for my brother, who wanted to see the new terrain in action.







And for those who haven't seen the picture inspiring the bases Harry's made, here it is:



I'm very happy with the product so far. Will definitely make my battlefields a lot more interesting.

The quarantine zone looks great all painted up! The addition of nids and those catatchans finishes it of nicely.

Crate offices look very promising, I would like to see them have removable tops if that is at all possible.

Hope this business of yours does really well, you certainly have the skills and willpower to make it super duper cool!

Cain

Wow, that Big Fort is awesome! I wants!

Thats a sweet board Pekel, makes the compound set look like so much stuff when laid out like that!

Top notch!

Ed

Haha, awesome
