Man, those guns are the balls. I can't wait until they are out, I need those shotguns.

Really ? Mate , that would be awesome !!!
The SF bearded and Ball cap heads, and some Modern DEVGRU heads(with and without beards) in heroic scale would really do it for me !!!

Woo hoo! New Release Friday!

OK folks, the armory doors are open...













All are compatible with our arm sets and other popular 28mm tabletop figures.

Available now in our WEBSTORE.

What are the chances anyone has these guns and some Eisenkern for scale shots? They really seem to be a great match for the style of guns they come with, and Ill need some specials when I pick them up.

I also love how the flamethrower seems to have a nice little dial outline for a fuel gauge sculpted on.

I ordered some weapons and heads for this very purpose, I'll post pics when they arrive.

You are correct, glad someone recognized that

Not sure how my stuff scales up to Mark's so I'll be interested to see as well.

NEWS: The Azog Treadbike Driver is now available separately for sale.



You can purchase it HERE.

Received my Mad Robot components on Saturday, just a few days after ordering. I'm very pleased with the casting- crisp, no mold lines to speak of, and no bubbles. I've tried almost all the 'third party' resin casters and I've always put MaxMini at the top for quality. So far, Mad Robot is right up there on the top level with them. I love the consistency of the resin as well.

Anyway, here's a pic of Mad Robot bits on an Eisenkern body. I'm not intending to use these heads on this figure, but tossed them on so you guys can see scale.





The weapons are wider/thicker and will need some simple modifying to fit really well- in this case they're just sitting on with blue-tac. I removed the stocks. The Eisenkern weapons are pretty thin, and on some poses the stock is only partially molded so that it can fit the arm, so it is no wonder that the Mad Robot guns would not be a precise fit. I personally think they'll work just fine by trimming the side facing the body a bit so it fits flush and centers the grip under the gun. The shoulder pads haven't been put on yet and will serve to 'bulk up' the body visually.

The faces are great, just the right clarity and detail IMO.

I think the Mad Robot stuff will fit 40K scale perfectly. So far, so good Keep it up Mad Robot!

So it looks like the weapons will be about the perfect size for use on 40mm jump infantry/power suits I plan on converting up. They look pretty good on the Eisenkern stuff with your modifications, if a little bulking and big.

Hi Steve , how's the "marine " scaled heads doing ?

Honestly, I haven't had time to even start them yet. I don't imagine they'll happen this year.

I've got something brewing for October and that's taking up all my time right now.

A belated Happy Birthday to you, my friend!

Anzac 'tache head is pure awesome.

Thanks for that!

The bandaged heads look super useful for all sorts of figures. Hope they sell enough to encourage you to make a second set for even more variety.

What would you want to see in a second set?

NOOOOOOO , second set of SF heads first !!!
Ball caps and beards with headsets , and DEVGRU heads with NVG's up + some with beards !!!!!
( No more beret heads please ! ;-))

still waiting for my A lpha team heads

Wow, I dig those bandaged heads.

The Anzac heads look fantastic too but I don't know how I would use them in my Cadian Imperial Guard army. Hmm...

If you're taking suggestions how about a set with all kinds of facial hair? (I'm only half joking)

rough riders....nuff said

The ANZAC heads are nice and characterful, but the hats themselves are wrong for either Australian or New Zealander hats. They would be better (as in, less likely to encourage pedants to mention that they aren't quite right ) billed just as 'slouch hat heads' rather than as ANZACs.

Hmm, how are they not right?

I dug up the reference for the middle head...



Here a link to the original site. I think I got pretty close

Unless the picture is grossly misleading, they look to have the standard Akubra peaked front and flat top. The Australian slouch hat has an indent running from front to back along the crest. The modern version is also squeezed in at the sides, but in WWI that was either not standard or just not always done right

The New Zealand version was a 'lemon squeezer' style similar to the Canadian Mountie hat.

Or look here for all of them: http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/slouch_hat_%2B.htm

You know what? I agree, I've changed them to Slouch Hats.

Thanks for your informed input

Your first set has three eye injuries (with nice variations), and that's along the lines of what I mean - general variety so we can make groups of injured soldiers (or scatter them throughout a whole army) without repeating heads. So, suggestions for a second set:
- bandaged nose, with strap around head
- bandaged cheek, perhaps with a strap looping between the eyes and around the head
- both eyes bandaged
- whole head bandaged, with just eyes and mouth peeping out (also perfect for Egyptian mummies )
- someone looking asleep/unconscious/dead beneath their bandages? (mostly a question of facial expression)
Other facial expressions for variety, e.g. another shouting/screaming, one grinning/grimacing, one looking afraid?
And keep up the variety of face shape, e.g. someone with a very round head, someone with a pointy chin etc

I like the face mask deal, it looks pretty cool.
