What as in wanting that set or just understanding

Both. but primarily the understanding part

Victoria continues to out do herself. As soon as xmas is over I need to drop some cash with her.

Thanks for the comments, There are now two more squad deals available;
The Highland Moss Guard and the Border Worlds Rangers.
Each kit has all the bits you need to add a characterful new unit to your force. Thats over $55.00 worth of bits for only $45.00.
Check them out here.

Happy painting,
Vic

If only you had done these sets earlier guess they will be around in the new year for restocking the troops

Infact the only componant of Rough Riders Vic doesnt do are the Horses themselves.

Which is something that would be useful! Having to pay $30+ for a load of empire stuff only to not use most of that that is annoying - I have enough riders for the Apoc formation, but too few horses.

ouch.... now i really have to get my wife to allow me to get me one of these kits....probably it will be the border world rangers... the capes and the torsos are just to good to refuse...

still free shipping till january...am i right???

I would imagine that solid metal horses could be quite a hassle to put together and keep that way! It may be an idea to scour bitz websites for some. The warstore has several types for a few bucks each (though they are all very ornate).

Free shipping until and including Jan 1st. Cheers.

OMG, I have to get some of those Rangers for my Tanith army

Hey vic, when it reaches Jan 2 onwards, are you still doing it where orders over 100$ or so got free shipping?

Depending on how you answer will mean the difference between me making a stupid big order now, or a smaller one now and another one a few weeks from now.

Last I checked, my cart is at 109 bucks, and it's growing every day...

BTW is it possible to get the highlander deal with Balmoral heads instead of the gasmask heads?

needs greatcoat legs so badly...... >.<

Any reason there isn't a combined set for Victorian Guard yet, or even just a ten-man conversion kit as per Penal Legion?

I agree. Offering full sets for 10 Victorian Guard, Highlanders, Penal Legion etc is more convenient than having to search each canteen, head, HQ and arm option by yourself. People are lazy you know.

I agree - on the part about making it easy to buy 10 man squads, not necessarily about the people are lazy thing...

Doing some new parts for them. The next squad deals will be Tannenbutg Fusiliers, Palace Guard and Victorians.


I am pleased to announce the launch of a very special project; 'The Galaxy's Finest'. This is an inspiring collection of background histories, famous battles and regimental origins written by Andy Hoare.
First in the series is the Tannenburg Fusiliers, Victorian Guard, Highlanders and the mysterious Cthood.
It has been a real thrill to see this come together, the combination of text, illustrations and painted miniatures really brings the regiments to life and creates the beginning of an ever expanding and evolving world. http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/pages/tannenberg

Wow, nice! I love me some good background and Andy is definitely a great choice, his Imperial Guard article regarding the Mortant, the Necromundan Spyders and the Fen Guard is one of my favourite White Dwarf articles of all time!

Excellent stuff there

Ooh-ooh! Highland Guard concept drawing gives a sneak peek of some Victoria Lamb not-melta weaponry!

And I'm loving Robin Carey's Cthood drawing. The helmeted Cthood head is pretty awesome.

This sounds awesome. Are you planning on making your own gaming system Vic? It could be pretty popular if all you need are guardsmen to play it. Most IG players have enough models for 2 or 3 armies in smaller games, so it would be easy for us to demo it to people who were wanting to try it out.

Either way, anything even remotely imperial guard related fluffwise always piques my interest, can't wait to check this out!

Also, that meltagun concept is insane. If the finished product looks even remotely like that those things will be a liscense to print money

Yeah gotta agree with Moustaffa here. If you put those notmelta guns into production it would be like owning your own mint.

They are steampunky without being too steampunky and they look enough like what they're not so that everyone will know what they are.

And, I believe, Victoria's first full IG conversions were the kilted Drookian Fen Guard inspired by the illustrations that went with the article.

Victoria miniatures are basically the only thing on my Christmas list this year. Hoping to pick up a big mix for my conscripted troops in my tyrant's legion list.

Order came in earlier today, aside from the ammo belts missing it all checked out.

That said, awesome stuff! Absolutely smitten by the flak armoured torsos, such a great and bulky design, really marvellous! Here's the first guy I cranked out:



I'll just spoiler these horrible pictures..

Nice pics, thanks for posting, sorry about the missing ammo belt (it happens sometimes) I'll send it out with the morning post.
Cheers,
V

Awesome thanks for the pics. I'm going to have to get a bunch of these for my IG soon. What heads are you using by the way?

Any chance of IG arms? No weapons, just arms so we could put our weapons of choice? Maybe a set of rifle arms and a set of hand to hand arms. With a couple of at ease, smoking, drinking carrying arms? Or even IG shoulder pads?
