'C' would give you a point of difference over the numerous other APCs on the market - coz who wouldn't love a Matilda-based APC?

'A' would certainly sell well, too, so long as it's designed to be modular - you've mentioned the suspension, but a choice in cabs, truck beds etc would be good. Hmm, perhaps a choice in chassis lengths too, or design it to make customers' length conversions as simple as possible.

Everything I do is designed to be as modular as possible - I love modding things, I mean, hell, the Heavy Weapon set was designed so it could be easily magnetized.

Oh yes, tank drivers would be good....

Could also make some dismounted crew to represent stunned vehicles. Love the look of dismounted crew in any game with tanks in it.

1. The bolt revolver looks very NERF
2. The 'Teutons' can now be built using Gravis's products.

This has already been covered in the thread and else where. It has been deemed not a helpful observation.

2. The 'Teutons' can now be built using Gravis's products.

So just because someone already produces a type of model means no one else should? Someone better tell every single Polish miniature company that every other Polish miniature company already makes Orcs.

It's not like variety is the spice of life or anything...

Might be of interest to some of you...

Hi, I am very happy to offer for a limited time, 25% of all Heavy Artillery. This is a great chance to make up your heavy weapon batteries with these amazing sculpts by Jake Schneider. Offer lasts until Midnight 24th Dec CST or until I run out of stock.
Accessories in the Heavy Artillery category such as the Ammo Crates Mortar Shells and Wheels are also discounted.

Yeah, I guess I could have included the links to the page... derp.

Don't.. don't tempt me senpai.

Damn, I made a big order with three heavy artillery and some other stuff a couple of days before the sale.

BrookM: Heed to temptation, for it may not pass your way again!

I'll place an order next week when I get paid, but this money better go into either the female Van Diemen's World Devils or Matilda tank fund!

I just got a bunch of artillery :( I don't need more yet !

Of all the time for me to get approved for a new credit card with a $2000 limit, this is not the best time.

I'm waiting for the Matilda to show up at my place so I can do a parts verification and test assembly.

Hehehe.

*Edit*

Through thorough internet stalking, I see that the package with the Matilda print arrived at Victoria's several hours ago. I shall now stalk her for photos for me to drool over until it arrives with me for serious new-print sniff-ness.

Are the prices on the website for the artillery already marked down 25%, or is the 25% coming off the listed price? Also, the tab says there are 20 items, but I can only get 13 to display. I'm on a mobile device if that metters.

Is there a way to order the guns with the small wheels instead of the regular wheels? The small wheels would suit what I have in mind much better.

Can anyone tell me how long shipping to germany takes? I received a mail, that my order was sent at 1.12. and I'm still waiting for it. I know it's around half the globe, but does anyone else who ordered in the past can tell me how long it took please?

So little late on the discussion on the APC...

But I want a 6 wheeled APC that is armored. My goal for my army (besides using all Vic miniatures) is to have all the vehicles wheeled, included tanks.

Not much out there that is gothic enough to fit that, don't wan't hyper futuristic.

And just not a fan of half tracks, but they wouldn't be the worst :p

Delivery time to the UK has been anywhere between 6 - 10 days for my orders. That said, I've never ordered in December before.

Mine took a little over a month, which given the time of the year makes sense.

So, good news: I have pictures of the Matilda parts.

Bad news: I can't share them with you yet, V specifically asked me not to publish them yet. She really wants to, but wants to wait a little while, probably until I verify everything is as it should be, to avoid another Wheelsgate[code]™

But it's purdy!

You tease.

Any update for the people who like things that shoot fire?

I'll also settle for sketches of a theoretical half track too.

Things that shoot fire:

V and I had a miscommunication, but no worries, we've hashed it out.

Sometime Soon™ she'll preview some stuff that I like to affectionally call flammenwerfer of various sizes.

Sketches? Neither us would know what we were looking at if I did them! I can't draw a stick figure without recourse to a ruler and a round guide.

Heh. That makes two of us.

Sounds shiny.

Now that you've admitted you're terrible at sketching, you have to provide us with proof of your, errr, amazing abilities.

Either way, I'm excited for these flame devices. I'm also hoping the Tannenburg get the same squad treatment the Arcadians have received, which is awesome to see by the way. Almost makes me want to switch over. Almost.

I'm looking forward to the Matilda, and especially for any signs of a half track/APC. I am curious though, would this purely theoretical half track be armoured, or cloth in the back? I'm picturing a not derpy Taurox, basically, with wheels in the front and a cool track at the back.

Should be only 13 items. Yes the price shown on the listings is the discounted price.

order the regular version and post me a note to say you want the small wheels, happy to swap. The small wheel will mean some trimming of the axel to fit.

I have found German customs to be very slow, sometimes my packages get held for a month. I suspect it should show up soon, give it another week or so and let me know.
Thanks, V

Yes, I am sitting here polishing 3D prints of Matilda parts, it is very pretty

She's huffing all the "new model smell" and isn't leaving any for me :(

Also, this just in, Vic and I will both be at Adepticon this year, so anyone who wants to come and either heckle or prostrate themselves in worship, or anywhere in between on the spectrum, can come and do so.

Mind you I said "in between", so no throwing rotten produce at me!

Excellent, I'll have to put in a little order soon for some stuff then.
