That’s an old RT lasgun, GW made them in plastic. Old, but should be out there.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone covet them though, I personally like a more modern lasgun, but YMMV.

(assuming you are talking about the gun from the squat pic)

I mainly think that this pic of the weapon just looks really awesome, and Ryza also happens to be my favourite Forge World.

Alright villains!

5 or 6 barrels for your rotor cannons?

Five, because feth symmetry!

Infantry sized- 5, Vehicle mounted- 6.

Will these renegades wear the same or different legwear as the loyal ones? will they get puttees instead of spats/gaiters?

Try to keep up here!

That whole lasgun pattern name chart on lexicanum was a fan made thing, there was no original source, but FFG and other sources have started to label the guns as such. GW never named them, and if you look at the old artwork, the whole Cadian M36 started with the plastic models, even though the Armageddon steel Legion's "voss pattern" lasguns are the same as the Catachan's generic Las-carbine (FFG standard equipment name), but with a added dust cover, and on half the models a folding stock, the other half had standard "hardtail" stocks.

Personally, I love the MK2 las rifles due to the fact that they are super close to the style of Lasgun used in the artwork in Codex Battlezone: City Fight, though, I got a pile of the single piece rolled sleeve and gun arms in a trade off reddit a while back.

So when do we get Victoria Lamb "I can't believe they're not Squats!"

I'd get Bob Olley's regrettably named Scrunt models for that:
http://www.olleysarmies.co.uk/home.html
He sculpted a lot of the original Squats and all.

Those and the Digger models are quite nice, Brother SRM.

Right, the rotor cannon has 5 barrels, because, different, and those were the only 2 votes that were made.

These WILL take a good bit of time to come out, because to truly work well, it might be necessary to go back to having the arms on the gun, since the new modular arms certainly wouldn't look right with them!

Hrm, if the arms are sculpted to it and attached to the torso as once piece instead of 4, it'd allow for straps supporting the weapon, a better looking ammo feed, some extra cords and wires and thingamabobs, etc.

That would make that particular figure 2 pieces instead of the usual (torso/weapon/arms + interchangeable legs). Hrrrrmmm.

Perhaps you could sculpt the straps to the shoulders of the arms, in a similar way to the plastic Cadian flamers, which have a shoulder strap that goes over the shoulder of the arm? You could make it so that the piece fits any of the Vic torsos, without having to sculpt a version for each that way. Any ammo feeds to a backpack could be handled in a similar way to the flamer tank. I'm sure a little bit of modifying would be required to get the arms+backpack set to fit any of the torsos, but I doubt that anyone purchasing from Vic is going to be totally novice modellers. It would force only one pose without some remodelling, but it would allow for more combos without having to make moulds for all 6 or so torsos that are available.

I would certainly be fine with integrated arms on this one, because I can see it being quite different in the way it is held to the small arms.

I've attached a picture of the flamer I was thinking of.

Yeah, I'd thought of that, but it more needs a strap coming around the off-hand shoulder all the way around. We ARE talking about Five Barrels of Fun, here.

Hmm fair enough. It could still be possible to have the strap attached to the shoulder, if it attaches to the opposite shoulder across the front of the model. The backpack could then be used to hide where most of the return strap would be, so that it would be a modular part still.

We're currently looking at getting some of the parts scanned in (like torsos, etc) to speed up the process.

The fun part is finding someone who can do it reliably.

Sorry to go back all this way - but have we seen WiP of these? Or do we know if there'll be bodies with them?

I'd love some Valhallans

Over 3 years then? Definitely feet over the fire time then

In addition to what BrookM posted, we already have the torsos and legs
http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/winter-torsos-x5
http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/greatcoat-legs-mk1-x5-male
http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/great-coat-legs-kneeling-mk1

I believe there was talk of doing greatcoat legs without the flaps buttoned back, in more of a Russian/British/everywhere that isn't France way (hence the Mk1 bit).

Any chance we'll see these riot shields restocked? http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/riot-shields-x5

I wonder how well those would go with Betrayal at Calth bolter marines.

IIRC, they are considerably smaller than the Marine boarding shields FW sells (which are surprisingly big now I've actually got some of the models), so they would probably look like oddly shaped combat shields.

Thanks for that Haighus - just the heads needed then!

Or just the female tannenburgs....

Yes, quite! Femmenberg and the Matilda are still at the top of my wanted list.

They are indeed a bit smaller.

That said Brook, for the right bribes I can make you Space Marine sized ones...

I think this post on Dave Taylor's blog shows a pretty nice size of the boarding shield next on some Tempestus Scions


If everyone is putting in requests again, will we ever see rolled sleeved missile launcher arms? I wouldn't mind if they just took the current ML from the GW set, but I just want rolled sleeve arms on them!

That being said, I'm looking forward to all the new releases from you two this year! Especially the motorbike if It comes out sooner rather then later! Good luck getting everything done!

When will the Victorian Guard set reappear on the site? It's been gone for a while now.

If it could return accompanied by a female set, that would be ideal

Since this thread has just become a wishlist I'm adding my requests:

Female Tannenberg
Female Victorian Guard heads
=
Female Praetorians! Please make this happen.

Some "not-Kasrkin" arms and legs would be pretty cool to see.

Nice, nice stuff.

And hrm, shot guns? Shock mauls?

I don't want to be JUDGEMENTAL but could there be some sort of ARBITRATING models coming shortly?

Yup if we got some...Heavy Armoured Riot Teams with shock mauls, shotguns, riot shields and robot dogs.....shut up and take my money!

The you would need some kind of Street Judge to lead them

I guess Military Police could also fit the bill and keep up with the Theme of vic's mini's.

If I could wishlist anything from Victoria Miniatures it would be heavy flack jackets and sci-fi french firefighter helmets to make Rogue Trader era IG look alikes.

They work quite well, until you realize you only have 15 shields to do 20 marines....
