You crazy old fool Theo LOL you do come up with some cracker ideas don't you mate, I would back this kind of idea also though I think a more bulkier take on the traditional camel would be a good way to go.

there's actually a gentleman who I work with who we have accused of liking camels WAY too much...like the way certain Scotsmen like their sheep . I made it totally in jest, but would probably get him one just to see his expression .

Any plans on making them without the neck covers?

Yes!

I have been wanting some kind of desert mount for ages so go with it, plus your friend needs help and don't take him to the zoo ever.
Plus I think you have mixed up the Welsh with the Scottish, although I think it's a myth at least I hope so ........

Definitely not taking him to the petting zoo . I think the myth started because in the olden days if you were caught stealing a sheep it was a death sentence, but if you were caught having relations with a sheep it was a roll of the eyes and a stern warning. So if the authorities caught you most men just dropped their pants and say they were caught before anything could happen.

I will not be making sheep...

Not even robot bomb sheep to replace the cyclops demolition vehicle?

Baa-baa-baa- BOOM

Wrapping up the previews for the 1st wave of our desert themed release. Wave 2 happens a few weeks after wave 1.

Just received my re-opening sale order.

Every single piece crisp as can be; as always.
Mad Robot's casting really is second to none!

Love all the French/WWI inspired stuff.
I know they're only previews, but imo the puttee legs need some work.
Although I have seen some instances where they overlap the way they do in your preview, this is generally not the case.

Thanks for your support, glad you you are happy with everything

I appreciate your opinion on the puttee legs. They might not conform to the "standard" but that's what Mad Robot is all about

If any of those guys could also be in an explicitly sci-fied version -- a cyber eye or half of face or what not -- that'd be pretty awesome.

Perhaps an officer head? That's easy enough. Do you want a skull or something on the front of the hat?

That sounds suspiciously close to perfect. Skull, maybe some lightening or eagle designs if you're feeling that instead. Would be awesome

And yeah, sounds right -- officers need to be kept alive and functioning! Thanks!

My my! DAK caps and PAK wheels with shields, Me likey!

Threw this is with the other prints last night...hopefully this works

Like the arty chassis, nice.

Now that looks like a seasoned command head!

I really like those gun carriages. Everything else is lovely but those really appeal to me.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Just to note, it's more of a HW platform but I do have a brewing idea for some real artillery

Does the hole on top happen to be the same size as the pegs on the bottom of the IG HW? That would be extraordinarily convenient..

A historical reference I actualy understand...Huzzah!

Just stumbled onto these beautiful miniatures while poking around for ideas to restart my Guard army. You guys clearly make some great stuff. I don't suppose there's any word or possibly even photos of other vehicles in development? I really want to see the mad robot Chimera.

Thank you! I too would like to see and APC happen, perhaps sometime in 2017, not sure yet.

.... consider this another vote for cyber camels.

Cyber-zamburaks, even?
(spoilered for image size)

I've been waiting ages for someone to make robotic horses (a la Galaxy Rangers), but I'll take cyber camels in the meantime!

I've asked for galaxy rangers before as well , but at least i"ll have cyber-camels

He needs to be called Joe......and have artificial lungs to go with the artificial throat....millenia of smoking repaired all grimdark like.

Try Copper Mine Miniatures who have a range of steampunk style horses.

Cyber camels though?

Now I want to throw together some counts as Rough Riders modelled as Kitchener's Camel Corps to go with my Praetorians.

Mad Robot, you know what to do!

Even if it is just a joke response to a light-hearted request in the thread, I love the "Coming Soon?".

reminds me of my stuffed toy camel from childhood! All my yes!

Will it be a Dromedary camel (1 hump, remember D for 1 hump) or a Bactrian camel (2 humps, B has 2 humps) ?
