Victorian females but with a more distinctive look of their own, I will try and find some pics later to show what I am thinking.

I really like that the female miniatures look like women in military gear rather than the stripper with gun approach that most female miniatures seem to be.

Fully agreed.

Me too.

I'd have to say Victorians or Penal Legion.

My first choice would be for lady Devils. How ever the Tannenbugers seem popular.

Penal(ess) legion females could be cool.

I would really like Catchan esque females or possibly something new.

I'm thinking perhaps Highlanders or Tannenburgers, but it could be Victorians, Penals, Devils, Rangers or just more Arcadians.
Thanks, V

Rangers and Penals are my vote.

In the meantime, the great Jake Schneider has been busy. Check out this amazing tank he has designed and sculpted. It is roughly the size of a Leman Russ, and has interchangeable tracks. This would be the biggest project Vic Minis has ever produced, Jake and I would love to hear your feedback and can't wait to produce this as a fine resin kit. Comments please
Cheers, V

Looks SOOOOO much better than the Lemon Puff but I assume it's closer in size to the Chimera?
Would still be great in my renegade army though whatever it's size.

Female Tannenburg!

... Broolians?

In all seriousness, I'd probably like to see female rangers next, would go well next to my post-apocalyptic dudes

Badland cowgirls in hotpants

Highland girls in miniskirt

It suits better with Loyalist armored company. but will the track pieces be the same as classic Imperial Armor?

PS: please tolerate feline gesture

My vote would be ranges for the next bunch of ladies.. but I also think it might be good to start with a smaller pack of 2-3 of them for each regiment rather than 10 for 1.. that will bring a lot more variety and then you can always go back and make more later.

What is that armored fellow in front of the tank?

Besides, I'd love to see some weirder regiments, what about humans who've been enslaved by Orcs or evil daemonic entities? Or humans who have joined an anime inspired race?

My vote is for female Tannenberg.

Man, the urge to link to bikini-zons further down the page is overwhelming, you know that right?

Now then, since we're talking about *good* minis, here's the handful in my head.

First, I'd shrink the main body gun on the Matilda to about half that long. It looks a tad clumsy projected out so far. Teh turret's fine and the body's faboo, just that one, let's say Heavy Bolter, that's a small flaw.

For new stuff, Arcadian Command and Arcadian Heavies seem to be needed. Maybe a "Junior officer" set and a "High command" set? Or just put enough spare parts in there to build either. A nice gender blend would also be nice. The heavies would need a few different weapon options and, again, a nice gender blend.

I don't know if the Victoria crew's got experience with modelling horses, but a nice bit of classic cavalry could be keen. Civil War-style, with pistol and cavalry sabre, and a carbine option. Maybe some extra parts for a musician and a banner bearer? Obviously an officer option as well. (Geeze Wak, you don't want much, do you?)

I wouldn't mind some stand-alone "Top officer" types, either. Patton-like general, a female and male major, maybe three captains. (two male, one female) to provide several options in terms of style.

Lots and lots of room for future expansion, yupyup!

Same vote here; I am pleased the Vic's models are not "cheesecake" and hope to keep it that way.

Beast-ladies clearly

(although I suspect they wouldn't be a huge seller)

I have zero use for these minis. I mean that - zero use. I don't play 40k - cannot even substitue into Bolt Action as I don't play that. I am playing historicals and I am sure, at least fairly sure, I cannot proxy them in for Romans.

So why on god's green earth have I just ordered a set of the women soldiers??

Why?

Because they are just so dang good and actually look like women soldiers and not minis that should come with a pole modelled onto the base. I have been watching this thread for ages and almost buying stuff but never pulling the trigger.

Now, Victoria, how about some female heavy weapon troopers and you can separate me from even more money. That tank is also going to be purchase as soon as it is ready.

Dang it - now I know I am going to be buying the rest of the range now I have made my first purchase. Ugh, more stuff to hide from the wife.

Dang it again, that standard bearer has suddenly become a NEED!!

Only 2 left last I checked man. Better hurry!

Hold off long enough and maybe she'll make a game on her own(hint,hint!!), and then you'll have to spend even more monies!!
I seriously know how you feel. I have approximately 120 of vic's various troopers to incorporate into my standing IG army. Didn't need a damn one of them, but how could I say no!

For the next lady selection up to bat, I'd like to see Victorian(they don't have to be wearing Kilts!), Van Diemen's World Devils and penal troopers.

I also really like Necros' suggestion about doing them in sets of 3 or 5.

Two thumbs up on the "Real women"

Ignoring the question of which range to do next, vic, is there any word on when the rest of your metal models will be moved to resin? The ones I looked at indicated Fall 2013, but we're a little past there now...

Rather than moving on to expand other ranges straight away, could we see some more work on the Arcadians?
Special and Heavy Weapon arms are vital for people wanting a full army,and the talk above of a high command kit sounds awesome!

I think this is a super smart decision to fill out the Arcadians with the above Special and Heavy weapons and the like or maybe a sprue of conversion bits like empty hands to fit certain other weapons from certain other ranges and a few other bits to be integrated to existing heavy weapons.

I've preordered the Sarg and I'm now planing a smallish force to first use as ally's before expanding to a full Imperial Guard army.

Far and away the Victorians. Your ladies are finally going get me back to work on my IG, Pretorians and ACW (heads with kepis on Cadian bodies). Victorians would allow me to put ladies in both these armies.

If you're looking for a niche army that NO ONE else is doing for 40K (besides me), American Civil War might be a road to go down. Mmmmm, female heads in kepis. I'm in love.

Hey, the standard bearer totally has a legit and non-sexist/demeaning reason for having a pole modelled onto the base!

Heh, you know what wold be interesting to see at some point?
Maccabian janissaries!

Now those are an Abnett creation aren't they? Can't remember if they're from Eisenhorn or Horus Heresy.

Actually just looked up on Lexicanum, totally wrong! From FFG...

I say female rangers for the next group of ladies, then I might restart my tanith army again.
