You should make shotguns and female IG

He makes combat and assault shotguns already

Mad Robot sent a cyborg back in time to create those shotguns following that suggestion. Clever move, Mad Robot.

Here are links to those shotguns: Combat Shotguns and Assault Shotguns

As for the cyborg...I wish

Hmmm, just watched FPS Russia video of PPSh-44,,,,Err Chenkov rifles,,,,My Kurgans order will haz them, along with the AK looking rifles.




His drum was busted, so he used the sickle mag

The Soviets made a number of robust and devestating weapons, that's for sure.

By the way, I am introducing fireteam deals for all the regiments and also a custom fireteam builder. i should have those up in the next week or so.

Hey Steve,

What is a fireteam deal? Is that like a custom squad but pre-constructed for convenience?

Fireteams, like the 5-man squads? so peeps can have a alternative style, cool

Oh yeah, and the PPSh-44 and the AK-47 were the prime examples, most though don't know of the SKS which was old grip style, but similar parts to the AK.

SKS



Fireteam offers flexibility in military ops. So, the CDF squads I bought, I can see splitting one team with the "smart-gun" and another around the heat rifle. and allows the split squad the ability to cover more ground, and conduct missions differently than a 10-man full squad.

Of course buying the smaller 5-man team already at a lower price is a smart move as many games offer to use the smaller force breakdowns, and folks are moving to those kinds of infantry games that allow more flexibility even for lighter armored and armed soldiers as 40k is not the only game to play in town any more.

The Fireteam thing is just a 5-man squad with the same options. There will be fireteams for all our regiments and a custom one as well. I undertsand that sometimes folks may not want to invest in the 10-man kits so the fireteams are designed with that in mind. More Info coming later this week hopefully.

Haha, then I understand that some folks are wrong

Seriously folks, you're missing out on some quality merchandise here

That's awesome news for my now limited budget! Whenever I get my bank account recovered, I can finally buy that LRRP team and maybe even experiment with other parts combos.

If you're thinking of experimenting with other combos, the custom squad builder allows you to build things in 2 units of 5. So although you get 10 guys, they can be constructed out of any two selections of MRM's options. So you could have fatigue legs as your first choice and CDF legs as your second, that way you're also still able get the great savings on the squad builder. Apologies if you're already aware, just thought I'd appreciate that tidbit if I wasn't aware

No, I was aware of that. The one minor downside to using the custom squad builder is that there isn't an option to add the extra bits like shoulder pads or backpacks.

That is being addressed

I will be happy to field any other suggestions for these custom squads over the next day or so.

Curious about helmet possibilities. What are the chances for you make hats and helmets? Say mordian type caps, ANZAC slouch hats, World War I british Brodie helmets, berets? Just the hats/helmets so we could put them on bare heads. I would be very interested in buying some.

I would also be interested in heads with the same type of helmet/hats but the empties provide the chance to customize.

I love your products. Keep up the good work.

As a lover of custom figures, I understand the appeal of switchable helmets/hats but I'm afraid it just won't happen. Apart from the Brodie helmets, which are coming soon, all those options are already available in our webstore.

Thanks to all for your continued support, Heavy Weapons teams are coming soon. I'll post a print preview once I have them in hand.

Any updates on the Fallschirmjaeger? They're the ones I'm most looking forward to.

They will be coming in Q2, right after we release our first vehicle.

Oooooooooh, vehicles *excitement intensifies*


Automatically Appended Next Post:
What kind of vehicle will it be?

Lol, too much other good stuff is coming to worry about that. I'll reveal more once we get closer to Q2.

Haha, fair enough, I guess I'll have to dust off the ol' patience and wait and see

I would be very happy if you released Brody helmets.

I would also recommend you make your rifles two sided. You have left and right arms, which is why I purchase from you. However the rifles seem to be built for righted models. One side is amazing. The other side is less detailed.

Fallschirmjaeger looking troops? I know you also mentioned a command pack, and a vehicle? I have seen the tread-bike, but somehow, I am thinking this is a bigger vehicle, at a guess,,,,an APC or scout vehicle.

Can't wait to see what you cook up next!

The next few weeks should see the release of the Heavy Weapons teams. Also this quarter will be a modular Commissar kit and a Command Squad kit.

Very, very nice indeed!

Got my mini order today, a set of FN FAL rifles and Lynn, who will make an excellent objective marker for this year's Halloween event. Overall the casting quality is just fine, hardly any flash and no mold lines.

I decided to stick one of the rifles onto a FemCadian from Victoria Lamb's range, the rifle nicely fitting into her hands. I just need to fix the stock a wee bit. Also added onto the FAL is a scope from Anvil Industries, making for a nice not-Vindicare or generic veteran with sniper rifle.

I think someone further up this thread mentioned that they didn't think the Mad Robot torso's fit with GW Tempestus Scions legs/arms - just thought I'd post this as I disagree

Mad Robot Miniatures Imperial Breastplate Torso, Beret Head, and Jump Pack
with Tempestus Scions Legs/Arms:

Hey, great conversion mate!

Conversions for the win!

Sigh,

Now I am going to have to buy some of those to test out. Thanks Steve for making me spend more money .
