No kidding - that would be great!

The ability to buy complete squads of these types of troopers (weapons too) would be fantastic indeed...

As a side note - our spinacsting machine returned from a toolmaker. He really pimped it up and removed some construction flaws. I couldn't resist doing a couple of test spins - our metal casts will improve for sure. The results I've got with this equipment so far are so much better with less hassle .

But what a bout the heads from this set with googles are they in the set as well I so hope so I really wanted these

Actually I wanted all the heads from these sets they are amazing


Przemas wrote:@lone dirty dog: ermmmm.... in the poll photo with different variants you have the same head duplicated with different goggles . Releasing something like that is a HUGE NO for me - it's much more fun to get more variety ....

Greatcoat torsos have been prepared and I've just added them to the webstore:

I just wished they would package the legs, torsos and heads in the same amount or in a squad type of deal. As it stands now to get a squad of ten is would cost around $38 which would be 2 packs of combat torsos, 2 leg packs with 2 extra legs left over and a pack of heads (namely the new police heads). Then either order cadian arms or wait till they produce a set of arms...sigh...

I like this line of thinking - squad packs with a price break would be great, double so if they include arm and weapon options (eventually)!

Honestly i think some of these different companies should team up to offer 'squad boxes'. Because you've got Anvil that makes incredible weapons, then say Maxmini that does awesome heads, torsos and legs.

But yeah, a complete squad package deal would be awesome.

How do arms fit on the greatcoat torso? I ask this because I had heard that for example GW Cadian arms fit poorly on the combat armor torso.

ph34r: got to admit it's the first time I hear about such issue. So far I gathered rather good reports:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Some modelling may be required as with all kits, but nothing that should prove difficult.

Yup, I do check feedback and make adjustments if neccessary .

@Chaplain: The way the sets are arranged has been influenced by the way they sprue and cast. No hidden scheme here. And got to admit I can't think about having 2-3 parts left as a bad thing - I've always collected spare parts and had a conversion frenzy from time to time.
But will look whether we can sprue things differently in the future.

@MrMoustaffa: LOL

@SickSix, Alpharius: heck, we have quite a selection of ballistic weapons already (shameless plug ):
MaxMini guns

As for arms - they are in the works. As mentioned earlier we're looking for the flexible solution that would allow different weapon fits.

Agree I would like to see these soon

Also when creating the arms sets is it possible to have some none fighting pose sets, I would love to see some at ease poses lighting a stubby, drinking, pointing leaning arms would be cool and my would love to see a crossed arms .

I feel this would add to the realism and general cool look of units

Also any chance of using those CAD skills to produce some HQ dog mascots, may be with some enhancements

I have had no issues with the torso's and arms matching up, maybe a little GS but I have to do that with GW stuff.

I think it all comes down to the arms then as I really do think GW's bloated Cadian arms look just a little bit strange/odd on your awesome torsos...

I'm really, really interested in riot shields with a power maul. I am on the verge of making some myself, but now that Maxmini is on this path I will likely wait. Maxmini's quality is too good

@ Maximini - I agree completely with all of the above - I think that providing "squad deals" of "Space Police" with shields and batons would just about be a licence to print money...

Please, can we have a version of these without goggles and bandanas? Just mean looking bald heads.

@lone dirty dog: which email address have you tried ? Was it przemek (at) maxmini.eu ? I can't find your email .
I'll try to search my mailbox again - I've been sick last week and I'm working my way through pile of messages.
At least I'm glad rest of the team has been all right so all the other things worked as usual .

I guess our recent releases have not been posted yet - here they are:
