@Damian: ^ win!


Rifles and CDF heads are incoming, there have been a few delays due to some issues with the prints. In the meantime, here's a preview of the 4 releases that will follow in the next wave:






These next 2 sets are the result of working with a Mad Robot customer, he goes by the online name of Lone Dirty Dog. In return for his help in covering the printing costs, I worked from his specific design concepts to make these heads a reality. Other people interested in doing something similar can send an email to projects @ madrobotminiatures .com to request the specifics about how it works.






Cheers to all and here's to a happy and safe new year!

How do those rebreathers stay on the veterans faces? Otherwise they all look good!

By the Emperor's will...

They have to keep sucking to keep them on

When will the vets with rebreathers be available? Any chance of female vets with rebreathers?

They'll be available in late January. There is a slight chance for a female version, but I can't say for sure.

Steve you've been busy and are you really honestly a person with a business that LISTENS TO CUSTOMERS? that is crazy talk right there!

do i need to email you about sneering, yelling heads or is that something you already have in your pipeline?

i'm seriously considering pulling a bunch of the bare heads from my other 25 Terminators and replacing them with yours! (not YOUR head but the ones you make)

Glad they are up all ready they stay on by vacuum seal it runs around the edge of the mask and forms a suction seal, or as mentioned by the will of the Emperor

Also this leaves the option of adding your own detail if you want makes it a little original, plus they look cool

I just want to say it was a real pleasure to work with Steve and he listened to every idea and adjustment I made, he also added a lot of his own thoughts and never complained once, which is pretty dam amazing if you ask me

Also he constantly updated me to his progress (all most daily) and issued picture references with all the new additions to the progression.

Over all this was a great experience and has been a happy and joyful one, if you have any reservations put them to one side the is a top quality service all round.

Dam all most forget put some aside for me LOL the tankers have turned out looking great (but new they would ) the bonnie hats on the other hand look great better than I thought they would

So my credit will be spent shortly cant see it last long at this rate, great job Steve

Maybe the masks were surgically implanted?


The smiling aviator head and cigar smoker has me thinking that you totally need to do a sprue of "Not-A-Team" heads.

Glad you saw the funny side

Just got my heads (Bald and Mohawks) and they are looking brilliant just wish I had some hobby time
Casts are spot on and the heads are clean with no flash I just cant wait to use them.

The next wave should be very interesting

@nerdfest: I'll add them to the list.

@hazzer: Chances of what you speak off are slim right now. My heart lies with the footsloggers of the universe. However, a strong concept could persuade me to try one set. Send me a PM if you have a good idea.

@ldd: Glad they have arrived. You designs are at the printer right now.


On this last day of 2012, I wish everyone a safe and happy new year!

Hi again Steve and loyal MadRobot fans! I finished the Bare heads i got recently and popped one in one of my Terminators painted up to look like me so here they are all done and what one looks like all armoured up and looking awesome! these heads are some of my favorites i've found! thanks Steve!




and in Terminator armour I apparently look like this!


I hope this convinces more people to buy these heads? they really are nicely done and for the price I seriously couldn't recommend them enough!

NF09 Damo

Nice heads - I hadn't heard of MR before. I like what you did with the Termis as well. Nice marbling effect on the shield!

Up for sale now. Check 'em out.

The colonial defense ones are really ace.

Glad you like them!

I love you Steve.......



and you obviously want a direct deposit from my wages into your account? those look excellent! the colonial defense heads are brilliant! and as I mentioned I'll be going a bit nuts in your store soon! :-)

WOW!!
Seen those great heads with the sunglasses and the great boonie hat heads finally in the shop and immediately placed an order.
They will surely look great on marines, but i hope also on the new Dreamforge Stormtroopers!
With a little greenstuff to make a scarf and those heads they might look like a future Bundeswehr.

Any chance of a shot of a Colonial Defence Forces head on a cadian body? Thinking of replacing the oversized heads of my imperial guard, if they scale well.

Oh they scale well! better imo than the standard ones, they even look good in power armour and tda, they just seem so much more in scale for the game! I have literally just made my 2nd order from Mad Robot for a whole bunch more heads, these are just so good! and i recently aquired a Guard army they will be used on soon!

@johnstewartjohn: The picture earlier in this thread shows the beret head on a Cadian figure. The base heads are all the same size so they should be fine. Here's a shot of the backs of the CDF heads:



Hope that helps.

-Steve

ok thanks. I'll put an order in when i've got some spare cash.
