Looks awesome!

Any plans for a not-Chimera and not-Basilisk/arty?

Personally, I have ideas in mind. Victoria, quite reasonably, said to them "I like the ideas, but let's see how the Matilda goes first." Can't blame her there, a kit of this size is a massive undertaking in time, money, and emotional energy.

Could maybe do a version of the Sexton for the Basilisk (would make a better Griffon though). I'm a bit stuck for the Chimera, I think the closest WWII analog would be the LVT Buffalo, particularly the variants that had a turret on top- is even amphibious.
I hope the Matilda does sell well enough, I would like to see more vehicles, particularly a Universal Carrier model, that would be brilliant.

Btw, the model appears to be equipped with a co-axial double barrelled machine gun- is there an option to replace this with a long-barrelled HMG by any chance?

Still waiting on wheels. :(

Apologies for the delay. And thanks for all the support.
I've had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago which has slowed things up too.

Hope the recovery from the surgery goes smoothly, vic - my brother had surgery on his shoulder last week, and there is a lot of recuperation time involved.

Given the surgery, y'all might eant to stop badgering about the wheels for a bit, y'know...

From Facebook:

Hi, I have had to change the shipping rates. Free shipping worldwide will apply to all orders over $50.00 instead of over $10.00.
This takes effect on the 20th of July 2014, so if you want to take advantage of the current rates, place your order this week.
Thank you.
Victoria Lamb.

Eh, may as well still be free shipping. Its pretty easy to hit $50 on an order, especially since I try to bulk order whenever I can

Not the worst news on the shipping rates! Now, just get those resin(?) weapons out and I'll have an excuse to get over $50 and put an order in!

Valete,

I'm still waiting for some beautiful female Tannenburg to round out my Mordians.

Well then I've got some good news for you

http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/products/weapons-and-gear?pagesize=12

Only problem is I don't see any arms yet for them. I'm also not sure if there's a way to bundle them in with the Arcadian minis as a bulk set, as I'm planning on outfitting my squads with the new lasgun design.

But either way, they've been released, so that's awesome.

Arms are coming later down the line:

Victoria Miniatures will be releasing male and female universal arms to fit these weapons in the near future.

Also, the complete set of new weapons:



Really digging the plasma gun and the sniper rifle, may have to order another squad when the weaponless arms become available.

Have also spotted these on the FB page, and they haven't been posted up here AFAIK.

Woot! Hadn't seen that, so thanks!

The lack of arms isn't a problam at all for my purposes. And they're sold in sets of the same weapon. Double woot!

Time to get an order together.

EDIT: Am I missing something, though? I don't see the auto rifle on the website...

Valete,

JohnS

The sniper rifle also has a cheek rest on it, which you can't see from that side.

Still no Arcadian female arms? Still dreaming of some basic rounded shoulder pads .

Weaponless arms are on the way, just a little bit longer, that's all.

Those artillery wheels look perfect for ork players converting mek gunz.

Do standard GW IG arms fit victoria torsos , and are there any pictures of such please?

James

Cadian and Catachan arms fit wonderfully on any male torso, just don't try it on female torsos.

And is there any possibility to see autogun that uses oldschool wooden stocks (like the original lasrifles and trench guns)?

People looking for a bit more diversity in their girls, or heaven forbid, want to have one or two show off a horrible sense of a hairstyle that doesn't belong in a war zone, Andrew Rae's 28mm heroic heads are an excellent fit for the female Arcadians:



Also, minor conversion, decided to snip away a rifle and after some fitting replaced it with this, a spare M1897 shotgun lying around from a box of Warlord US Infantry, yay, new shotgun veteran:

Wouldn't that be all in the paint job?

Thanks for the comments, here's some more digital gun goodness from Jake.

Damn, that's looking great! Don't spoiler that, show it off for the world to see!

And here I was, worried I'd have to use gakky Flames of War plastics for my heavy weapons.

Also, another gun design has been showcased on Facebook:

Thanks Brook, I can't get images to show up decently sized over here, it's always either thumbnailing it or otherwise making small versions.

That strange noise was my credit card whimpering

I really like those but is there Any chance of getting smaller "rubber" style wheels for the guns.
Like the old IG heavy weapon kits in the future?

Do I spy the metal heavy weapons arms now in resin on that kneeling soldier?

Has anyone bought Broolian Beastmen recently? Have they been moved over to resin? I need some resin Broolian heads.

From what I see on the site, the Broolians are still metal.
