Man, this is some really amazing stuff here man. I'm sure you're being flooded with requests now. I'm sure you could make some money with this.

I think it's good work man. You should make some Space Marine stuff after this, I think it would work well

"Suffering is Faith, Faith is Strength.

Generations have suffered with the same devotion that we can offer but once. Still, our Faith leads us through these dark times like a beacon. It will guide us to triumph over these abominations. Either by breaking them upon us like waves against a limitless, golden peak or by thrusting through them like the spear of the Immortal Emperor Himself." - Cannoness Aoife, Order of the desert rose #Yesallwomen

Lol we've had a bit of interest but tbh it started as a personal challenge last year and it's only recently we started warmill so I'd be doing it no matter what.

As for SM stuff I want to do jump packs and maybe alternate weapons before we start another big project. An armoured sentinel kit could be cool, or maybe an alternative bike / attack bike

New jump packs would make my life. Armoured Sentinels would be awesome to see what you guys come up with. Have you ever thought about doing an old Zippo-style Hellhound? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M48_Patton#U.S._variants , scroll down to the M67 Zippo.)

I love what you guys are doing. It's people like you that make me glad for my procrastination, as I have been trying to start an Army for the past year telling myself I will, only to find an awesome new mini or conversion kit to make me wait to start.

From your avatar it would seem you're a fan of Elysians. You'll be needing lots of valkyries then

Just to announce the final master for the Valkyrie rotors has finished cutting today! We have a few other projects on the go at the moment but we will try and get them tidied up ready for moulding as soon as possible! Once the bases for the Pre-Heresy Conclave are finished I'll get the landing gear masters started.

Ooh exciting!

You are correct good sir.

As soon as they are up for sale, I will definitely be buying at least 6 of your kits, and your jewel bases look interesting as well.

Would the rotor kit you have for the valk fit a vulture without too much work?

The rotors should fit no probs because the tail and wings look the same. The landing gear wouldn't fit without conversion.

May actually get to finish the valk kit soon

The best thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's far too late to stop reading it.

Hey Warmill, did this Valkyrie conversion kit ever fly (pardon the pun)? I'd really like one of these guys.

Well the masters for the rotors have been machined as above, but we got started on the battlesnap terrain around that time and it's been our main focus since then. I was in the process of getting the model of the wings and landing gear ready for machining at the last count, but unfortunately I ballsed up upgrading the CNC software and now I need to get it fixed :(

The valkyrie hasn't been forgotten, it's just been put to one side while we got some products made. We've got a big to do list from now until Christmas so it won't be on the website for a while but we may find some time to cast up the rotors and start getting them ready for sale.

As always, too much to do, no time to do it!

Thanks very much dawg. Any chance of an advance order for yours truly? I've been planning this conversion since about June.

Remember this project anyone?

While we've been churning out the pre-orders for the Portable Utility Pods, we found a bit of a time to knock up a quick mould and test cast for the valkyrie rotors, just to get an idea of size and fit. These are still a considerable way off production, as we need to get a good set cast up to clean up ready for remoulding, but still it's progress! This was about testing whether to cut resin channels in the master moulds made from the CNCed parts, or to cast up the 2 halves of the mould separately, glue the parts together and clean them up, then make a whole new 2-part mould from those parts.
