Just popped into this thread. I vaguely remember reading about this back in the day and only checked in now. I liked your facebook page.
For starters, they're taller than even Death Korps of Krieg figures? Uh... okay? Next, everything is true-scale? The heads really should be Larger Finally, they're in metal? Maybe I'm just spoilt for choice after seeing all the great plastics coming out of various compabnies, but I'm also not eager to go back to the days of 40K2, with everything in metal. The bases look weird as well.
The price is good, but being in all metal HURTS.
Gotta give this one a pass.
Normally I'd excited about buying just the heads, but there's more than enough people making gas mask not-IG out there
Major Hammerfaust looks good though, points for that, but the pose is a letdown. i do indeed like my space marine waving their arms in the air, bald and screaming
The alternate guns are awesome
The mohawk guys look good. If I ever do that punk rock-themed IG army, these are so going in.
Tanker head looks good, although I'd prefer if there was an option to just purchase one. How many tanker heads with mics will you need?
Boonie hads and rebreathers with beret heads look good, although I'd like to see rebreather heads with no berets
Aviator sunglass heads look good, and I like the fact there's a variety of hairstyles on them
Ever thought about doing toxic scavenger heds, punk rock heads with piercings, or punk heads with liberty spikes?

Looking for the Empire spearmen from the Warhammer sixth edition box set (empire vs orcs) Must be unpainted and in good condition. Also looking for MIB Empire State Troops boxes.
Looking for Battle for Macragge and Black Reach Tactical squads, unpainted and unassembled. |

Thanks for the "Like"!
The Greatcoats feel like ancient history to me, an admitted rush on my part to get something to market when I should have waited.
Metal doesn't hurt...people who abuse metal hurt
You would not be the first.
Those aren't gas masks, they are balaclavas.
The Major is a character model, he can't be all things to all people.
Thanks for the kind words on the pulse rifles
Mohawks really are a universal hairstyle, aren't they?
Take the number of tanks you have...that's how many sets you will need.
I think rebreathers will see a return at some point.
Thanks, I try to mix things up whenever possible.
No, but I am always willing to consider new ideas. Why not PM me some more info so I can get a better idea?
I appreciate your input!

Oh WOW Steve! they look fantastic mate!  I'll be buying on payday for sure! I am only torn between using 'Sly' or 'Bruce' as the head for a counts as Marbo  'Sly' is the obvious choice but 'Bruce' is my favorite!  but whatever I do I'm 100% positive that the quality will be amazing!

Does the right-hand one have a realworld equivalent? - I'm presuming it's supposed to represent some kind of light armour.

They look nice. The right one represents modern body armor with webbing for attaching your gear.

Left torso is designed to match up with the CDF heads and Pulse Rifles. Right torso is based on a modern ballistic body armor, Sick Six nailed it. The strips on the armor will look a little more subdued once they are cast.
Cost should be close to the heads we sell, about $3.50 for a set of 5. I won't know for sure until I run a few test casts.

Could be really tempted to do a not - col Marine theme guard unit with your bits.
Looking forward to seeing what the torsos look like in non render format

Just got my personality set nice work Steve  going to have so much fun with these guys just got to figure the best way to use them now
The Marine capped heads have turned out just as well these have a lot of potential, especially for a particular project I have in mind  actually a few of your heads are descended for this project.

And perfect for Squats armies
But seriously, looks good - 'hi-tech beardy heads' will be useful for quite a few armies, and aren't too common at the mo.

Not bad  but can I just say maybe bringing the beard out slightly more where it meets the sideburns, if you look at the inspiration picture you can see what I mean.
Also the head band maybe (cant believe I am saying this ) but a bit flatter in texture, that way it is more distinguishable from the hair.
Other wise spot on  hope there will be a sprue of varying grunge looks  5 man sprue again
