Thanks for all the great feedback. Here's a very nice little un-boxing article with lots of photos from the awesome guys at Massive Voodoo.

The pics clearly show the high quality of this kit. I certainly want one, but I will wait until my wife buys it for me as a birthday gift.

The guys at MV listed the correct contents but they did not put both rifle arm sprues in their photo montage.

I heartily agree with the MV crew that the wonderful heads give this kit superlative personality.

Awesome variety of heads. I'll buy it at one point only because of that.

Looks amazing, Vic.

Yeah, real nice work Vic. Love that bionic head.

You can tell these are quality bitz because even the "Victoria Miniatures" on the the sprue is amazingly clear and crisp.

Then you've clearly never been in a fight against evil.... with sand in your shorts!

Maybe I just like the feel of sand in my shorts

Man, I really wish I had held off on buying my penal legion now. The new ones look so awesome. The old ones are nice but the new ones blow them away...

As an owner of both I can confirm your statement! The first ones allow for a lot of changes and playing around. The new ones come with everything you'd want literally in the box!

Haha... it'd just be nice to have an alternative for metal Tallarns.

Hey vic have you given any thought to heavy weapons?

I've seen your conversions for your Praetorians and they're really cool. Your lascannon conversion in particular looked really awesome.

I know a lot of IG players have been converting the Fantasy cannon kits to use IG heavy weapons, so there appears to be some demand for it at least.

It'd be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the heavy weapon squad kit and the bombadier kit, that's for sure

Heavy weapons would be great, as would just a generic sprue of assault weapons that could be used with any of these regiments. I am sure people would snap up plasma guns, "atomic" guns, and flamers by the arm loads if the option was available.

And I still want female Victorian Guard...

Heavy weapons would be quite useful.
Also there is a fusion gun, that might fit the atomic guns you were mentioning, DarkTraveler777. Although I would love to see some plasma and flamer weapons.

She has a flamer out too, it's a handheld one in the trench raider blister.

Perhaps a pair of arms could be made that are "generic weapon swap arms"? Designed to take spec weapons from a variety of manufacturers.

I'd like to see maybe a heavy weapon set of guys wearing something along the lines of the turn of the century dive helmet style. Or maybe a fully enclosed Gas Mask similar to that. Either way LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your stuff Vic, glad to see that the old chem heads made it back.

Yeah that is a great gun, but the attached set of arms don't work well with the Victorian Guard model range and would create mono-pose problems for multiple fusion gunners. If Vic came out with just a sprue of assault weapons so we can convert our own assault weapon troopers I'd be ecstatic.

Very happy to report that this week I have sent off 21 current products to the US for resin casting by the same awesome guys that cast the Penal Guard.
To kick off the new resin bits range, I have made all the Penal guard parts available separately, check out the pics below.
I will also now be winding down production of the metal penal kits, once the current stock is gone. Its gone.

Great news Vic and nice new Avatar is the dog yours ?

I will be placing an order for a few bits in July then I was thinking is there any chance of releasing a sprue of just the helmeted masked head from the custodian range

These would make a great head set for IG alternatives, I am thinking of upgraded Chem dogs

Awesome news!
So if we lift the hair and look at the dogs eyes are they:
1-bloodshot and look like he/she wants to eat us?
2-totally loving and friendly?

Made me think of the old Looney Tunes cartoon!

Looks like I need to put an order in soon. Resin is cool and all, but I have a weird love for metal minis.

I'm definitely in the minority in that regard though.

Very nice! Do you have plans for making any "not-valhallans" since GW cut the range?

Great news Vic. Nice to see business is humming.


Smitty, there was a picture posted by Vic ages back of a few greenstuff heads of various sorts. If memory serves there was a not-Valhallan head on it. It could Vic just messing around with different scuplts or it could be a prelude to another range of fantastic minis.

Winter is coming.......

in the meantime, the Broolian Beastmen heads are now up as a set of 7 individual heads.

Vic, have you considered making some heads with Shakos?

They could go on the 'Victorian Guardsmen' kit and hey presto - a complete range of Napoleonic-style IG...

I hope not we only just got sunshine here talking of which still in need of shorts any chance of Vic style

Vic, really like your models but I have to ask whether you have any plans to expand the Brodie Helmet heads?
