As soon as the new arms arrive you can give them whatever lasgun you like.

but, but, think of the bundles?

I'm Dutch, I like saving money, I was mostly curious if the bundles will get modified to have their more aesthetically complementary weapon options. Not a big thing, as even right now it'd be pretty easy to chop off the current lasguns, and buy a set of the more sci-fi ones and use those, no more difficult than giving Cadians SM plasma guns at the end of the day.

Gah, for all that work, I may as well just design a newer, better APC or half track.

Please pester Vic incessantly so that this can happen.

Oh, and there's news about the Matilda as well!
















Doesn't mean I'm going to tell you what it is right now, however.

I should warn you I speak Cocky' and if you keep teasing like this I will send an unholy flock of white feathery noise to invade your studio....

What happened to the tank which was being talked about a while ago?

The Matilda?

Still in production last I remember.

It's going to see the light of day some time next year IIRC.

I am waiting for the parts to arrive at my place (they're almost done with prototyping) and then I'll do a test fit and check to make sure we don't have a Suspension incident again. Once I check that off, V has to make some serious decisions.

Yay! Time to start compiling that order, I'll send it in as soon as I get my wheels.

Um, those ballcap heads are new, aren't they?

No, each squad set comes with one, or alternately, you can get them from a sergeant upgrade kit:

Just saw these on Vics Facebook page and was pretty damn amazed especially as there are female arms at last my gangers can have arms


Yes I kind of hope Vic releases a sprue of those capped heads ( well with some variants ) make a great desert troop/ jungle unit

Order will be done after pie :0 need those arms.
Perfect timing for those.

For those of you who were wondering how the bundles will work...

Ooh. Noice.

Any chance of getting some left handed arms? Wouldn't want every solider in the army to be right handed.

Noise indeed - however I do believe that roughly half the arms in he pic are lefthanded

Smart arse.


Fine then. Because people like to nitpick, let me clarify.
Any chance of some arms where the left arm has the stock and the right is supporting the weapon. (Happy now Manus?)

Originally, Victoria had floated the idea that I could do the arms digitally (which would allow flipping to make lefty variants quite easily). At that time though, I wasn't as confident in my cloth & anatomy skills and said it might take me a month or so to get them right, and I didn't want to keep her on the hook for that long.

Turns out even had it taken me twice or thrice that, it would have been ready "in time" with time to spare.

But yes, the world needs more left handed firing poses, at least one per ten I reckon.

Very good - that wasn't so hard was it ?

Made my first order for arms, already shipped. Bada boom bada bing. Faster than GW.

Course, I messed up and only ordered 1 sprue of guns. doh.

Second order coming up.

You would wait to release these until right after I had dropped like $500 on Black Friday sales

they look excellent, can't wait to order a squad or two someday when I can afford food again.

Hey Victoria, was there ever a resin kit released for the Broolian Beastmen? I think they're some pretty sweet models and I'd like to get my hands on them. I'm not a big fan of working with metal, but if that's what it comes to then so be it. I'm just wondering if there was ever an alternative kit released at some point, but it doesn't look like it.

I'm terrible at judging these things by eye; what exactly are the differences between the female and male arms? I'm wondering if it might be possible to use the female arms on male bodies to reduce the "heroic scale-ness".

The female arms are less bulky and somewhat smaller.

Hi folks, thanks for the feedback,

Working on it, hope to be a few months off. I plan to release them as a 10 man squad with bare universal arms. I think they would look particularly cool with the AK Autoguns.

Yes girl's arms are smaller, you could probably put them on the boys if you wanted to.

You should do a set of bare or sleeved arms with a mix of HTH weapons and pistols for us peeps that want Cultists that aren't carrying rifles! Swords, Axes, Maces, oh my!

Oh sweet, looking forward to it! Universal arms would be great.

Finally got the wheels

Man that front one is wayyyy fiddly.

Still waiting on mine to arrive.

But please, pics when they're installed!

Here's one I prepared earlier! It does make the Taurox look a lot less, well...crappy.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I'll keep an eye on the door, I really want to give my third one wheels something fierce.

That conversion kit is the best of bunch that I've seen. I guess the only problem is that after you've bought the Taurox and conversion kit and then taken the time to fix GW's horrid design choices, the $66 could have bought you a Valkyrie which looks good right out of the box! That's not a criticism of Victoria Miniatures, just an honest comparison.
