Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but are there any flamethrowers in the line up?
If not, could I be so bold as to request that to round out your excellent line of special weapons?

No flamers, no meltaguns (aside from the ones linked above, those come with arms attached) are available yet.

Dammit but those winter torsos look fantastic! I say dammit coz I've recently bought some Warlord plastic Soviets which combined with Vic's classic lasrifle arms look really well - they might be shorter than the average guardsmen but I'm gonna use them as human wave of conscripts/whiteshields! But Vic's rather-less-heroically-scaled-than- GW's arms and weapons are an excellent fit, for the Warlord Russians at least! I have a bunch of metal arms although the resin ones I'm sure would be far easier to work with.
Having said that I love the image of the winter torso guardsman with the Tannenburg dress cap head, kinda reminds me of the Chinese Red Army, which would fit with my not-Valhallans, looks like i'll be ordering some of these up in the new year!
On the suggestions front please do a field cap head sprue like the cigar smoking one from the Penal Guard overseer head, legs with puttees, a bare headed Custodian head, ie one with the Custodian gasmask, it rocks! And a WW1 British type torso to go with your brodie helmet heads, yeah I know, I ask too much!!
Truly excellent work as always, I for one love the real life time period inspired look of your miniatures and bits, keep 'em coming!

Looking forward to the rest of the not-Valhallans. Vic, you finally got me with the universal moss guard (great idea to add that variety) - tons of range for kitbashing and in the perfect material. Gives me plenty to do while waiting for raging heroes to pull their finger out!
Ever thought of doing some necromunda style gangs? Just a thought.

Agree with all statements here Greatcoat legs sooner than later Please yes begging for those  , kilt legs are great still wanting to build a necromunda gang based around them  ( waiting on some ganger style parts hint hint  ) as for RH stuff I am in the same boat

MajorStoffer wrote:I was thinking while out today, so it's no secret the Death Korps models are very popular, and it only makes sense for Vic to make something in a similar vein, but with her own unique style (still love the Van Diemen's World Devils as Catachan replacements).
So, I'm currently living in Paris for school, and given its the centenniel of the 1st world war, I've been seeing a lot of Poilus as part of various demonstrations and whatnot. I was thinking, with a gasmask head, they'd be a similar, but more distinctly historically grounded trench warfare soldiers, especially as the Death Korps already incorporate a lot of elements from the Poilu, the coats and adrian crest on the helmet in particular.
Here's what I'm talking about (mind the awful colour; good look, but still not sure what the French were thinking of in terms of colour pallet for trench warfare):
Actually, the color was quite good for trench warfare. The horizon blue mixed in well with the smoke and fog on the battlefields. There were many times during the war that the more experienced French took vastly lesser casualties than the British.
I've seen modern pics done of the uniform and you really can't see it...
Would love to see someone do these uniforms, then do a French Foriegn Legion kepi head, with the sunflaps. I know, there are real figures out there that can be converted, but I want them with imperial eagles and poseability.
Viva la France! Vive la Liberti!

From Facebook:
A rare shot from the workbench previewing some of the projects coming. I am very excited about the future of Victoria Miniatures, 2014 has been a big year and I hope 2015 will be even better. Thank you so much everyone who has supported me so far, its been a great journey. The sculpts you see in this pic are by Gregor Adrian, Paul Hicks and myself. I am looking forward to working with more amazing artists in the new year.
Cheers, V

Is the beastie in the back the beginnings of a horse, a basic frame for rider sculpting...or something otherwordly?

It looks a lot like the old conversions that were once featured in the White Dwarf of a Savlar Chem Dog Rough Rider riding some sort of gangly xeno beast.

What's the dealio with those there arms upon that there brick? 2nd from the left looks like it might be a great coat sleeve with a fur lined cuff. Maybe to go along with some winter themed soldiers.
Too blurry to be sure though.

Looking good, though the pinned back coats are very French; I don't know of any other army which did that on a regular basis, but will certainly help keep the not-Valhallans distinct from the GW ones, though in a subtle way. Now I just want to see some heads!

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.
