Obligatory chin joke.

Now that that's out of the way, these look spectacular. I like the double breasted coat. I'm not certain I've ever seen another one of those offered.

They look great.You can't really see the how awesome the quality of Mad Robots work is until you get them in front of you.I got some special forces heads and was blown away.

Yes, I have to say the cool thing about Steve is he does listen to his customers, and the quality of his products has been pretty much perfect from detail to casting.

Thanks guys, the double button jacket got me thinking of doing some Napoleonic style parts. Any interest in something like that?

-Steve

I'd have to see some sketches to say personally if i'd be keen on Napoleonic products? but I know without a doubt if you did they'd be great, only problem is creating enough of a theme within a 28mm force using a few select parts for it to be cohesive? most of that era or style is 15mm gameplay isn't it?

again, i don't know what your creative mind is churning over but if you want to throw some spitballs around i'm sure we'd all help creating something solid for ya!

I'm going to be focusing more on complete figures now, so this would be a concept for complete, multi-part figures.

-Steve

Oh o.k now it's getting interesting! :-) will they be aimed at the popular human races in common gaming systems or will these be a precursor to even more things you wish to create in the future?

Uhm...huh?

I'm just saying instead of releasing a head and torso set, I'll release a set of heads, torsos, arms, and legs; all centered around a common theme. For instance, in addition to the Imperial Torsos and Heads I just recently previewed, I would release matching arms and legs to go with them.

I will start writing my shopping list now then

I would be totally up for this, they will work for my Steam Punk projects as well will you include weapons and back packs as well

Also I want a decent looking Napoleonic style cavalry in this format, I think I have some pics of Napoleonic cavalry uniforms on my PC if you want any idea's.

Yeah on re reading that it sounds kinda hard to follow :-)

Could you perhaps do some arms for the Colonial Defense torsos? I needs me some USCM themed Imperial Guard, problem is dealing with stupid GW arms.

Edited to add: Oh awesome, I just saw that you are offering 15% off to APO orders. Wish I had known earlier, I am leaving Afghanistan soon, and we are no longer receiving mail. Damn.

I'm working on arms and legs, both will be basic fatigues, no armor or anything. Don't have a date yet for them.

Here's an update on some weapon designs. Overall I'm pretty happy with them. I'd love to know your thoughts...




-Steve

I was wondering but will you be releasing the rifle at the top at anytime, I need weapons for my gangers and this looks perfect for the job.

@ldd: hard to say at this point, they'll be released but I don't know when.

More resin perfection Steve! you have one more chance! if I like the next release you do as much as everything else you've done then I WILL get a Mad Robot tattoo to celebrate just how good you are! :-)

Well, thats a bit weird I guess if you have his little robot design would be cool what am I saying nice looking releases I think these a pretty dam cool, now what the hell to use them for ?

I love the Colonial Defense torsos. Any chance you'll be making armoured arms and legs to match? They'd be awesome for carapace-armoured veterans.

Mad Robot, these heads look awesome! I just ordered a set of the colonial marine heads. Any chance you might make some more colonial marine heads with different expressions, Goggles, etc?

Also, on an earlier page there was an alternate autogun design. Are you going to release that?

@Zogg: Arms and legs are in the works right now.

@ Kolath: Sounds interesting, maybe a few heads with field caps, maybe one with a cigar? Kind of like a command team...hmmm

These are gorgeous...my to buy list is far too full...its like the golden age of wargaming options. As far as bits choices go

All, I just received my order of Colonial Defense Heads and Spec Ops heads, I thought I'd share a side-by-side comparison for the benefit of the forums. Overall I like the look, the heads are definitely less bulky than the standard Cadian head. Please note that in order to fit the Colonial Defense heads, you have to shave off the neck protector on the standard Cadian torso to make the helmet fit right. I am strongly considering using these heads for my upcoming PDF project, though I think there are still a couple other heads vendors to look into.

Would be really awesome if there were more sculpts with this helmet. EDIT: Actually on closer inspection it looks like the DEVGRU heads are NOT the same helmet design as the Colonial Defense. Any chance of getting more than 5 sculpts of one helmet type? If I'm going to make 100+ infantry it would be great to have some more variety while maintaining a consistent look and feel.

Here is a comparison of all three heads:



Then just the Defense and Cadian heads from the front:
