Penal Guardsmen...
Resin....
Glorious CHAINS!!!!

Making it very hard to hold out for the beastmen!! Really great work vic!
Will the Penal Guard squad bits be available as separate bits in the future?

Also, got my last order in today. Love the resin legs. Better in RL than I could of hoped for. Everything looks fantastic!

Hello future troops choices 3 and 4.

just picking my jaw up of the floor please stop I cant afford this anymore

If this kit is successful,

IF....IF...IF????

now you´re being a bit too cautious... folks have been eating out of your hands for quite some time already... now they will line up

You mentioned you're working with a US caster. Does that mean newer kits are being made and shipped from the US, or are they still being made and shipped from the land down under?

Not a big deal either way, your stuff always ships so fast considering you're on the opposite side of the planet

Wow, gonna get some of those I can tell you right now! they are simply brilliant and great to have a source of alternate models for when GW finally cheeses us off so much we legitimately stop buying from them! you are doing such nice work Vic and i've just been waiting for resin to drop from you! now I can sleep well knowing you are in control of making some of the nicest 3rd party mini's out there!

To be honest I am trying to use independents for all my miniature needs now, Vic has filled a massive gap in the market and bloody quickly without letting quality or design suffer for it.

So to Vic HIP HIP HOORAY HIP HIP HOORAY

Thank you for being so dam awesome

Fantastic stuff, I'll be chucking in an order for some Penal Legion a little later tonight!

Just caught this! vic, Viktor is 1000% correct on this. Hell, if you started writing rules, went in with Anvil (for the Space Marines side) and found someone to make other races, we'd be saying GW who?!?!?

and again... i have to agree with alarmingrick ....if all third party producers would gang up on GW ...


viva la revolution!!!

Those penal guard are awesome. I wish I played IG!

Once you start, you never stop...

Lovely work... I will definitely be buying some, and soon.

First Vic order placed (not-tanith for me) and within 2 hours its marked as shipped! Obviously got the magic touch lol but I cant wait! Now (and I hope she is listening) if Vic were to do some russian styled not-vostroyans, I would be all over them...

Be careful, next thing you know you'll have 150+ infantry and 15+armored vehicles of various types.

Also, while we're dreaming of the 40 hostile takeover, I vote Kromlech for our ork developer. They're basically vic, but for orks.

As cool as they look, I must admit, I'm not a huge resin fan.

I'm rather paranoid about damage, so while I love the metal casts, especially how detailed they are, i always pause when looking at resin. Small resin details are awfully prone to breaking at the slightest provocation, so while the extra detail possible via resin is awesome (and I'll certainly get bits in resin, things which won't suffer from the materiel's weakness), whole models leave me somewhat apprehensive. It's the reason I never went for a DKoK army from FW (that, and they're bleedingly expensive).

At any rate, I'm interested in where you take this line of production; I love the bits I got from you a few days ago, makes GW cadians look downright shabby (and horribly proportioned).

I'd like to throw Dreamforge in their for the admech, or at least the titans.

ha ha! I'm away from this forum for a couple of days and you lot are planning to take over the world
Big thanks for the feedback on the penal guard.
I'll try to answer some questions:
At the moment they will still be shipping from Aus.
Yes, the bits will be available separately in the future (probably May)
Will also be making a custodian riot squad with shields based on the overseer with the helmet.
Yes resin can be fragile but it sure bounces a whole lot better than metal.
Bestman squad (metal) will be up soon. Limited advance sets at Adepticon, mail orders shipping in May.

Phew! I leave for the US in 6 days, things are crazy here at the moment with all the prep work. Better get on with it.
V

Can't wait for Adepticon, hopefully I'll pick up an advance order set or two from you!

Also, if I don't make champs, I'm signed up for one of your Friday painting classes, which I'm pretty pumped for - makes me not fret too much if I lose a game on thursday

Any chance, and not to try and pile to much work on for you, of having both male and female penal custodians?

And/or more importantly cybernetic canine constructs to accompany aforementioned penal custodians?.

What booth are you selling out of Vic?

And will you bring those wonderful Inquisition figures?

You have no idea how hard I'm kicking myself for not being able to afford to go to Adepticon right now.

Holy crap. That Penal squad is beautiful.

Don't expect them

har har har...nudge, nudge,nudge

Very nice!

Looks great!

Those penal legion guys are AMAZING. I do wish there were more beards though, that would be an insta buy for me. I'm going to check out the store for sure!

I'm really loving your work Vic, I placed a big order for loads more highladner parts and such, can't wat to get them and get working on my guard.

I really look forward to what else you bring us !
