Oh man they are awesome eh! and for me they're even more awesomer as I actually live in the place they're named after! Tasmania was first named Van Diemens Land when the convicts came here as it was so inhospitable (basically was a death world )

Well in that case it is perfectly fitting for an IG unit

Vic Minis + Kick Starter?

Oh god... all of my money.

Weep not for the death of your wallet.

Good news if you've ever wanted a full converted, fully painted praetorian army with the original Captain Cain Mini. Vic's selling a roughly 110 or so strong praetorian army on her site for the low low price of $4,000

While not fond of the vox operator head (Gotta make do with what I got on hand) I am super-pleased with these overall, especially the ammo belts, while a wee bit fiddly, do add that extra bit of cool to already cool models. Shotgun trumps lasgun, I don't care about your stupid logic, my (future) army runs on the rule of cool.

I thought you were joking cant believe Vic is selling them, must have her reason's though I wonder if she will be selling any of the others The Drookian Fen Guard they were amazing

my (future) army runs on the rule of cool.

was there ever any other true rule to live by??

Order just came in! I have no idea who you threaten/blackmail/ convince to ship your product so quickly, but it's always amazed me. Your product gets here faster than stuff sent from a few states away sometimes.

Everything is in perfect shape and the extra goodies were not unnoticed. I look forward to getting some of these guys together and painted soon! Thanks so much!

EDIT: put up some pics of the highland guard on my new P&M blog in my sig. All of her bitz just look awesome. My only regret was that I didn't buy more kilted legs

Vic any hope for plastic?

It's the one thing keeping me back...

Painted, no sorry. Nor am I a quality painter.

Not quite plastic, but very close.

Vic might be doing bitz in trollcast down the road.

Bear with me, as this was something I found sniffing around on the facebook page, looking to see if anything new was coming up.

In the comments, many people asked what the minis were made of, and she states they were a test run to see how trollcast works. I believe this is the same process Defiance Games used for their bugs/germans, although from what I've heard, Defiance Games is the only one to have trouble with it. Everywhere else I've seen trollcast stuff it looks really good.

It's kind of like a blend of resin/plastic from what I understand. Supposed to be more durable/cheaper/detailed. Don't quote me on that though.

Here's the facebook post I found all this on http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=392879837415151&set=a.162172233819247.10795.162170277152776&type=1&relevant_count=1

However, I highly doubt any of this is set in stone. She very well could have changeg her mind between now and then and decided to stick with metal or use a regular resin.

Least now we can maybe get away with decent superglue and a bit of gs when bonding the new TrollCast plasin bits together, because drilling and pinning is not fun when every single piece of a dude has to be fixed like this.

Vic your models rock, i got a big ol box of guardsmen bits from you for xmas, thanks a bunch!

All good things for 2013!!!

Thanks for the update Mr Moustaffa missed that one here is to hoping for box sets of figures in the near future then.

Maybe Vic could go the DreamForge route and have plastics made up, although though it can be costly maybe thats what the kickstarter might be

Alright, how many people do I need to sleep with/brutally maim/blackmail/bribe to make this happen?

Because multipart plastic kits in this style of minis would make me weep tears of manly joy.

At the very least, trollcast will give us all the awesome of plastic AND resing from what I've heard, so long as you dont mind using superglue. Plastic glues that chemically "melt" the pieces doesn't work on it for some reason.

HA HA HA easy there it would be cool to see plastic box sets come to light indeed (I to would weep but more like a small girl)

I have to say Vic seem to be charging into her mini line (in a good way) the line has grown extensively and quickly, the quality as been of a high quality and ties up nicely with other ranges but still keeping originality.

I think in the future we could well see a plastic box set or at least resin/plastic sets, either way I am sure there will be many cool things to come.

To be honest, if your finding you need to pin infantry sized metal figures then your glue is rubbish. Theres no doubt of the value of pinning in larger heavier models, but for human sized thats crazy unless your making a habbit of throwing your models around the room!

Though thats not to say seeing Vics stuff in resin/plastic is'nt great news for the hobby!

Hey Col Gravis stop lurking and get me my bikes LOL But I do agree about the glue issue I only pin awkward posed minis (where there is an increased weakness) or as you mentioned heavy models.

However I should mention I am not a gamer just a mini collector, so maybe with the constant playing of miniatures it could be an extra assurance.

Thanks for the comments,
Yes Trollcast is a possibility that I am pursuing this year, also looking at some resin. Aiming to release complete modular kits.
Dreamforge style plastic - in my dreams, but not impossible

I'd slaughter a Maiden world of Eldar babies (filthy xenos) to get my hands on something anything of Vics range in plastic.

I got a wad of cash for my birthday which was going to go towards a new computer. But when i heard Vic might be doing a kickstarter i put off buying it just in case.

READ MY POST!

WAD OF CASH!!!

WAD OF CASH!

Valhallans.

Please make Russian winter soldiers.

I need to at least finish my force without resorting to scouring eBay.

Well, I'm glad to see more arms done in the same style as the shotgun arms (with the armoured panels) are on the way, really love those, they go well with the bulky armoured torsos and groin guards in making carapace armoured troops.

I would love for Vic to do some Steel Legion I would happily sell a kidney to get more

I would so love to see a kickstarter I would even work weekends and bank holidays to fund it I think you would be quite surprised how much backing you get

I would love to see a set of plastic miniatures of your designs, however I know the difference between your range and DreamForge is his was CAD as yours are sculpted.

Now not knowing that much about the process of producing the moulds for plastics or whats involved I don't know how easy that would be to achieve.

However I would buy box sets of your all ready produced models in plastic by the bucket load, don't get me wrong I love your miniature, but in plastic they are easy for conversions

Quoted for the truth.

Although I have to many metal Valhallans, I know I could never have to many plastic Valhallans. Mmmmm, Gribble gribble gribble.

Howie.

If wishlisting for regimental support is welcome, I've always wanted to see Necromundan Spiders (and I don't really want them to look like pre-2nd edition Guard).

So, what timeframe are we looking at roughly for the kickstarter? I don't have a huge budget and need to order some legs, but I want to make sure I have plenty of cash for when the kickstarter starts.

I don't need to know exact days or anything, "summer", "fall", or "late spring" would be awesome. I just want to know whether I can order the legs now or should save my cash for the kickstarter.

Hi, a Kickstarter would not be until at least mid 2013. There are a few issues to work out first, like Kickstarter's Brits and Americans only policy.

Excellent thank you. That gives me plenty of time to save up
