Interesting point - we don't know yet whether they're dog-sized, or wolf-sized, or thunderwolf-sized Wolf-sized had been my assumption, i.e. fitting on a 40mm base.

Let me know if that is what you wanted or something else. I don't really take photos of the bikes as I have not assembled anything yet. I lost my complete interest in 40K at the moment so probably not building them until the new codex rolls in

@Clang: they're dog sized .

I'm very exited to see that greatcoat arms get finally done (they should be ready for release in 2 weeks time). We couldn't resist assembling some test models from parts that laid on Mati's desk



Heck, so now we can get a whole unit built using only our bits . Can't wait to see first squads .

Hmmm.... but looking at those mock-ups I really feel it would be cool to work on some WW2 Germany-inspired guns....

StG44!

It's German WW2, and also looks enough like a modern weapon to use in other games.



Also, they used it in Star Wars, so it's a sci-fi weapon also!



Any timeline on the dogs being release? And can we have a scale photo? Maybe next to an Orc and also power armour legs?

That looks cool .
Dogs should be out next week - Artur finished paintjob on them, and I need to check how production mould holds up.

As I said on the FB post, this is just more cheesecake. No thanks. I was hoping it would be more Ripley/Vasquez from Aliens than strippers at a costume contest.

Yeah i too am a little disappointed that these are cheesecakey, since the teaser image had such potential. But that said i think i will reserve final judgement until the rest of the line is released.

Still they are good looking models and i'd really considering buying some just so i could have some decent looking female guardsmen in my army. (Great faces btw)

There are a significant number of people that want female soldiers. These here are not soldiers. We have tons of places to turn if we want nearly naked women with guns. Why enter an already crowded market?

Lol. Though I suspect that Escher gangs are slightly more tasteful.

Escher gang! brilliant idea, now I'll be watching to see more come out! do we have any idea how many they will release? not sure how many i'll need for a gang either lol :-) I like them, maybe not so much for female guard but as a model they are very detailed and well done and i like the look of them.

I think they look pretty decent for gangers and so I am happy plus it proves the potential of what can be created, I do understand some peoples reservations due to the need for a more uniformed realistic female soldier.

However I do believe there is a market for both.

Uh, tight bikini tops and suspenders were pretty much a staple of the Escher aesthetic...

The Escher "bikini tops" were based on the chest section of American Football pads.

I like these as standalone models, though I'd like to see some more proper female infantry, even semi-cheescakey like Infinity's stuff would be good. The only thing that really bothers me about these is the weapons. M16A2s just don't fit those models. More modern M16A4s/M4s/G36's - or Kalashnikovs - either old-school, or modernised.
