Brook, I'm waiting on them too, once those are back I'll be getting some Arcadians.

Which will go nicely with the heavy weapons!

And if I say the other thing, I'd risk breaking NDA, hehehehe.

The other thing?
Can it Waltz?

Gods dammit.

There's a slight delay on the Taurox wheels. Someone from the prototyping company decided to cut corners and cloned Part #1 3 times, instead of #1 x2 and #2 x2.

Got to get that part printed and a new sprue made.

I am so going to stab someone in the face repeatedly.

This is saddening news, however not the end of the world quite yet. I would personally be panicking if the weaponless arms were out right now and the wheels weren't.

Yeah that.
I'll be working on getting the heavy artillery and new small arms in the shop asap, while we fix the APC wheels issue. Thanks all, for the ongoing support and patience.

By the way, can't quite remember, but is your Taurox solution a four wheel or six wheel thing?

4 wheels, including a suspension mount to the body, which I've been told a few of the solutions out there don't have.

Me, I can't see doing it and NOT having that major part.

In regards to the problem, yes, I'll be contacting the prototypers tomorrow (Aus Monday, US Sunday still, so I don't foresee a reply until the next day at the earliest) and a couple of alternates to see who can produce an acceptable solution the quickest. Sadly, my fall back "it's an emergency, save me!" option is out of the country for a fortnight and gone to the UK.

I've used wheels from another company for two Taurox's to date and it's just wheels, you're left to work out for yourself how to best attach them to the body, which in my case involves bodging it.

If Victoria gives it her blessing, I'll post up the little "Instructional" I cooked up for how it goes together later.

Speaking for myself, no rush here. It's not like you guys are running a Kickstarter, then I'd be worried.

Just saying, if it happens, it will turn people who back you into impatient little monsters. Just look at me when Raging Heroes is involved.

Not me. I'm a paragon of patience and will power.

Any news on the bikes you previewed

Bummer.
I can wait because your solution rocked with the suspension.

If you need a hand with that last part........

I'm in for General Wolfenstein. Awww yis, she didn't get unveiled until last update. She be one of the last concepts to be wheeled out, aside from old man Kurganova.

On the bright side though, I'm not building an army of out oddly posed girls who can't fit onto their bases because they got their legs so far apart. Instead, I'm going with the more sensible option..

Cygnnus and Wehrkind, glad to hear you like the stuff and it's scale. The guns were designed, from the start, with the directive of "make them slightly smaller than the plastics" so that they'd "fit with the girls too".

Can't wait to see the pics, it still overwhelms me that people are playing with stuff that I've done.

A bit late, but I finallly uploaded some pix of what I had in mind for the Victoria Miniatures weapons. I love Dreamforge's Eisenkern, but I'm not really a fan of the pseudo-MG42's they use for their basic rifle (mind you, I like them as a support weapon!), so I thought Victoria's weapons would work...

Spoilered for those who might not want to see the big pictures.



Have plenty more to covert, including officers, a kneeling sniper, and plasma gunners. But i'm pretty darned happy with how they've worked so far.

Valete,

Touché

Since we are showing off conversions with the new parts here is something I worked on:



The new guns are great I thought. Look very nice.

Damn, nice work Swas!

And Cyg, that's a pretty nice conversion there, looks like you hit the nail on the head with that one. You forgot to glue the bipod on the sniper rifle though

LOL! Actually, I'm still torn on that one. It doesn't fit particularly well with the hand on the barrel. But you are correct that it's definitely missing something without it.

Still, the bits are very nice and very easy to work with.

Valete,

JohnS

Cygn, you could fold the bipod forward, that would look sharp.

Hadn't considered that idea. Might have to see if it'd work. Otherwise, I may just have to trim off the bipod mounting bracket itself. But I'll try that out. Cheers for the idea.

Valete,

JohnS

Those guns work amazingly well with the Dreamforge models. Might have to get some for my guys now...

Tell me about the cowgirl plase

Counts as Harker, but as a gender swapped Blaine from Predator, tried going for a M-TV logo on her top, but I'm a gak painter. Parts used: Bombshell miniatures Bug Spray, metal Terminator assault cannon, Imperial Guard vehicle accessory sprue ammo box, the hopper belt is from Zinge Industries and the hat is from a Van Diemen's World Devils set. I originally bought the set just for the spare hat, but I love the models so much that they've become part of my army now as veterans with forward sentries.

Yeah, I just don't like how out of scale they are and how undressed 3/4 of them are.

Don't take that as me being prudish, I had a couple well done pin-up models back home, I just don't think it fits the subject matter!

I have the three sisters myself, plus I'm awaiting Wolfenstein. I use one of the sisters (Olga, with her cigarette in hand) as an officer of the fleet, the rest are going to be used as Space Marine sergeants in an army I've been planning for some time now.

Nice models, but unless you use them as one-offs they look horribly out of place with the ranges they are supposed to complement or slot into.

I am just using the sisters Kurganova as Commissars all.
