Agreed. I've never got into Twitter, it just seems to be a springboard for celebrities to send out throw-away comments.

I've been asking for pretty much everything she just released. Glad to know some of these small companies are listening to what people want

Vic, are there any plans for a Twitter presence?

I think it would be a good idea. Its just a matter of me learning how to use it.

Got the standard bearer. Got the shipping notice just then.

Now my metal Cadian army finally has a standard bearer!

I've been drooling over most of the stuff Vic makes. Finally bit the bullet and got this year's LE plus two squads of the Arcadian ladies. Eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The stuff her company puts out is great. And she really deserves special mention for the best female IG around.

I hope one day she does some counts as Catachans.

Those would be the Border World Rangers and Van Diemen's World Devils.

I still want to see a Vic take on some PA Necromunda style gangers, now that will be an interesting development

O yes just got my notice that "Torgo" is on his way yes I know you hate me for it but I don't care

PA as in power armoured, or as in something else (as my Necromunda literacy is admittedly low)?

PA as in 'Post Apocalypse' perhaps? Necromunda has a lot of crossover with the genre.

I'd rather like to see female Devils or Rangers and not female muscle monsters.

Likewise Female Rangers in particular would be great, the Tallarn 1st has loads of female characters in the books.

Well if we're concocting wishlists for Vic then I'd have to admit that I'm really, really praying she'll put her skills to use to give us some 'not tallarn' style troops (in the WW2 mould) especially as there was plenty of significant Australian involvement in the North Africa campaign... if that counts for anything!

Also cool headgear!

Right now I'm very happy with the upcoming Tannenberg addition, plus the Matilda tank. My Solar Auxilia cohort will certainly be growing this year.

Yeah, female Tannenberg plus universal dress arms will pretty much allow me to complete my ground pounders.

I think we're still missing flame throwers in the special weapon department though.

Anyone know where I can find pictures of the awesome female arcadian guard painted. All I can find is assembled ones but I want to see how they look painted. Probably not the best place to ask... if so ignore me

Flamers are also on the way IIRC.

I remember Faolan alluding to something along those lines.

After bikes and the Matilda, I'm pretty set. An APC type vehicle or universal carrier would just be the cherry on top, somewhere down the line.

Not pro-painted, but here are two of mine:

wow those look nice indeed, I might have to buy a squad. Thx BrookM

Wow, I had no idea that Torgo was so sought after. I guess it would be cruel to mention that I got mine for $2 at a local swap meet last year.

Those female troopers look great. I may have to grab a pack of heads sometime if a version sans-helmet is ever released.

I got my heads from Statuesque Miniatures, who produces by far the best heads for these minis. I had previous packs from other companies, but they're nowhere near as crisp and detailed as these ones.

my wallet cringes in fear of the day female rangers gets released (Do it Vic! )

Female Tannenburg torsos + Female Pith Helmet heads = Female Praetorians. Please. Please. PLEASE!!!

I was going to ask which size you used, but from the link I'm going to assume the Heroic packs

A Hive ganger unit (not necessarily Necromunda themed, as that would kinda need 6 distinct units) would be great for converting up units like Savlar Chem dogs, or conscripts from a Hive world. I would probably use some to make Ash Waste militia units for my Steel Legion if they came with gas masks.

I saw a conversion somewhere combining what I think were Vic minis Victorian Guard with Maxmini Desert Dweller heads, and that made a pretty effective not-Tallarn conversion, although an in-house Vic minis fully Tallarn-themed squad would be cool!


As for my own personal wishlist, I would like to see integrated gas mask head options for Arcadians, and also for the Brodie heads... Can't fight on Armageddon without gas masks (unless you're Yarrick), and I don't really fancy getting the individual ones and wrapping them round each Arcadian head.

Indeed, go with the heroic heads I linked, those are perfect. The other heads are nice as well, but sadly, too small.

Not-Steel Legion kits would be a god send, as well as all the extra Gaskmask heads will allow for me to breath life back into my Cadians that are being slowly replaced by Arcadians, to make them into Conscripts for my militia groups. Hive Gangers heads would be amazing with the Arcadians or even the Border World Rangers to add more to the Not-Tanith models you could make with this stuff to represent Verghasties who were gangers.

Also, here are the two Tallarn from Vic's Mini parts I could find off the top of my head.

Old Vic Minis Conversion to Tallarn, from a while back.

Talasa Prime post with Arcadian Bodies.


Has Anyone tried to get the Cadian backpacks on the Arcadians? My old bits box is currently on the otherside of the country, so I don't have access to any of mine to test this out, I want my Arcadians to be properly equipped to hoof it around.

I had the odd Forge World Cadian backpack lying around that went perfectly with the Arcadians of either gender. I've supplemented mine with a mishmash of various packs I had lying about: Elysian equipment pouches, Krieg backpacks, spare US Infantry backpacks from Warlord and other bits and bobs.

I really need to get around to painting more often..



F.L.T.R.: FW Elysian, FW Cadian, FW Krieg, Warlord US Infantry #1, Warlord USMC, Warlord US Infantry #2 and FW Elysian (two medical kits stacked on top of each other)

Wow. So, I saw that post with the great coats and arms etc, and it just clicked: I may never start another sci-fi human army along the lines of IG.

But if I do, every part will come from Victoria.

(And worse, I really want to now.)
