Is that the Maxmini "M249"? I almost bought some of those a few days ago, but dropped it when I added too much other stuff.

Yup Azazetx that's the one.
But i guess if made by Joel it would look much better.
...and possibly his take on the M-series guns!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@miniholic - they look great! thanks for posting up the photo!

Question for the owner about the IG-scaled 'regiments' weapons - is there any likelihood of a solid ammunition rifle being released? I am contemplating buying a bunch of the laser rifles, then solid ammo magazines seperately. Would hate to do it if it was all a waste.

Hi, Absolutely! They are sitting on my desk and will be released next week.

An assault rifle with sickle mag, and also a varient with drum mag.

Cheers,

Joel

I'm really digging the suppression teams!

Yeah.. but to be fair, realistic heavy weapons based on RL ones are a hard fit for 40k-style models, since even something like a Browning M2HB "Ma Deuce" (.50 cal heavy vehicle-mounted machinegun) pretty much has the proportions of a bolter (if you cut down the barrel). That leaves most RL machineguns looking weedy as hell - so I see what MM have done chunkify-ing it up.

Hey Joel, are you doing salute pre orders again this year? I loved being able to pick up my stuff early last year when you shared a stand with kit

Terrific! I will certainly order as soon as they are released.

@Azazelx: You're right! Didn't think about that! So a slightly bigger gun isn't bad at all.

And Joel, i still ask for some present near future guns...please some M-series ones! You've already made all one needs to personalize them! PLEASE!

Picked up my Black Ops squad, awesome stuff, some flash, love the bare heads they wil be used for another project. one gun arm didn't seem to fit, and the plasma gun thingie was also to big, couldn't get any left hand to fit.

Thanks very much guys!

@Miniholic - Hoping to photograph and release the Assault Rifle later today, which will hopefully suit your needs, It doesnt have the top "carry handle" but is otherwise fairly similar to an M rifle.

I may make some additional styles of near future gun as I am planning a near future wargame afterall.. I will make them err.. in the near future!

@Jehan Reznor - Thanks very much, Im glad you like the kit! And thanks for the the feedback. Im sorry you had some trouble with one of the guns, I did my best but certain combinations were a little trickier than others. This will be improved in future kits.
If you mean the Fusion Cannon included on the sprue, it should fit the left hands included, at least it did when I assembled it, I hope you got it to work ok, the hand will only fit on the grip area, which is designed the same size as the rifles.

SALUTE PRE-ORDERS

For Charax and anyone else interested.

YES we will be taking pre orders for anyone who wants to pay cash and collect on the day.
To do this - put your order through the website with "cheque" as the payment option (use any UK address) and "SALUTE" in the order comments box.
Then instead of sending us a cheque, turn up at our Salute stand and your order will be waiting for you - We are hoping to be able to take card payments, but cash is preferred.

Cheers,

Joel

So no "pay through the website, pick up on the day" option?

A thought on your product line...

What needs to be produced is a series of right hands with different gestures. You can get open hands, splayed hands and pointing hands thanks to the Grey Knight, Missile Launcher and Blood Angel boxes, but it's really time consuming to make hands with these types of gestures for right handed Exo-Lords...

Thoughts?

Hey,

Yeah you can do that if you want, we just dont have functionality on the website for it that wouldnt cause confusion.
Place and pay for the order, put "COLLECT AT SALUTE" in the comments box and we will refund the the postage you pay in cash on the day.

@Lurker - Thanks for the suggestion - this is a possibility but its very low on the priority list, as I doubt the number of people willing to pay for a few hand sculpts will generate the money we need to justify the product design and moulding time.

Cheers,

Joel

I dont know if you make some useful designs it could be a winner

As Lone Dirty Dog suggests, I think you would be suprised...

It's impossible to get them. You have to craft them yourself. Way too much effort.

I don't know how hard it would be (read: I have no idea what process you go through), but the next time you make a set of arms, you could just attach the hand at the end...(?)

Hands like the chainglaive ones with flexed wrists would be awesome!

Yeah, if reasonably priced as the rest of your stuff is I could see getting a few packs. Left and right-handed variants of pointing, open palm for "hold" by a pointman, two-finger "victory/up yours" and the one-fingered US version, thumbs up/down. Just off the top of my head, and good for giving a lot of character to various armoured (and unarmoured!) space warriors from many manufacturers...

I also think finger gestures as used to give directions and order would be cool maybe some saluting poses as well

Thanks for all the hand suggestions Guys!

The only way I could make it work is if I do it in CAD, then I can model a bunch of different poses quicker, and also mirror them, releasing a sprue with say 15 different hand options on it. This is an option for a future project but please no one hold their breath, in a few months time Ill be getting all excited about TANKS and wont even remember this conversation most likely..


NEW PRODUCT -

A couple of new things out today -

The Regiments Assault rifles, both Drum and Sickle Mag Varients -



ARMS - I've been promising them for a while - today I actually handed some parts over to a sculptor, and he is doing me some arm sets to go with the regiments guns - initially he will be doing bare "jungle" arms with a sensible ammount of muscle, and normal military fatigue arms - there will also be optional shoulder pads.
I dont want to say when they will be ready incase I miss the deadline, but they are now Work In Progress.

Regiments Single Pose Bionic Legs - Set of 5 different sculpts available -



Really pleased with how these came out, Other legs including regular fatigues coming soonish!


Here is a Sneak WIP Preview of somthing Im hoping to have ready to release at SALUTE

The first proper Regiments product - "ARC Drone Cell".



The ARC (Autonomous Robotic Consciousness) is a planned faction for my game universe, I will be expanding the unit options and background material quite a bit.


SALUTE is really soon! Im very excited and working as hard as I possibly can to get new stuff ready for the show!

Cheers,

Joel

Pretty freggn' sweet

Sexy new guns and those drones are a must have!

You weren't kidding when you said I might want to wait on the torso's....Damn you Joel, haven't you gotten enough of my money!

Oh, and the legs look awesome. I can't wait for them to get here!

oh....now those look sweet... tho we need to see them torsos in full view...without guns that are LOS blockers^^

oh, now that is nice looking. Now I can have Servitors! Any gun arms as options in the future?

God damn that's cool. Ordering some now!

Speechless




AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to the new shoulder pads!

I look forward to more pictures. And the release!

Made another small order for a few bits to see whats what, plus I know you will be building stock for Salute

I am very hopeful for the Regiment range and the possible future releases

Hey Guys,

Thanks very much! Im aiming to have the Drone Cell ready for release at SALUTE with limited stock, and I hope to have some preview photos online before the show also.

I will be starting with the basic infantry and adding all sorts of other units and weapon options, as well as other regiments kits.

On the subject of SALUTE - If anyone from here is going - this is the banner you need to look out for, pretty hard to miss!

Cheers,

Joel
