Any timeframe on those tricky fembots or little Lilly ?

I want some of your new resistance girl heads & weapons but am holding off for some minis to so the P&P doesn't hurt so much

The Fembots went away for production moulding yesterday so hopefully a couple of weeks or so barring any further balls ups.

Lillie Poots, along with the Pulp Alley figures and some as yet unseen Frothing Loonies, are being master moulded at the moment.

Edit: Oh and the Heroic Scale Heads are being production moulded now, too.

Good stuff, thanks for the timeline

(and fingers crossed on the Fembots, they just don't want to be mass produced...)

The Fembot master castings I just sent away were very nice, so I'm confident the production castings will be up to scratch. Then I just need people to buy them - lots of them - to cover the vast amount of money I've poured into getting them to production!

Just received my package today. I have to say that these are some of the best miniatures I have ever received. Detail is crisp and clear, minimal mold lines, and all the metal is super smooth across the miniatures. An absolutely superb product, and even better, they scale well with the Sedition Wars females allowing for easy head-swaps and body conversions across the range, allowing me to make a ton of cheap Infinity miniatures that are detailed and even more important, to scale!

Thanks so much for making these mate, they are fantastic. Just one wish though, any chance of making a few bodies that are able to have the women sighting down the guns? Crouched and standing stances would be great. I think I might be able to achieve that with the Resistance Recon team, but I really want to make them as a Doctor and a Sniper.

Cheers mate! When I get these done up I will post pics to the thread.

Oh, I'll be ordering some Fembots...

Also, played my first game of Pulp Alley last night, didn't have all the rules down so there was some page-flipping, but all-in-all a lot of fun. I am really looking forward to see what you come up with for figures...

BTW, do you happen to know the source of the "Singapore Smith" model shown in the photo on page 5 of the rulebook? I have asked the designers via email and facebook but no response.

@Fenriswolf: I'm glad you like them and thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. I plan to add more Resistance Fighters in the future and 'aiming' figures would be a good idea. I'd likely have to modify the hands on the guns a bit so they might not work with all the weapon options but I'll see what I can come up with.

@Hdbbstephen: It's good fun, isn't it! I'm working on more Pulp Alley figures at the moment. Lots of fun ideas.

The Singapore Smith mini is from Copplestone Castings. She's in the Female Archaeologist pack. http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=HA

Fembots hopefully imminent. I'm waiting on a courier email to let me know they're on their way...

Cheers mate!

And yeah, it's likely to cause you problems with the hand placement. I found that out when I looked at the hands for Lily of the Resistance. Her left hand comes out further than the regular gun hands do, so you'd need to do a bit of sculpting to give her any kind of different gun.

If you're looking for inspiration though, some of the Infinity sculpts for their troops sighting down the barrel are well done. Problem is that they have the luxury of making a lot of their stuff one-piece.

See what you can try, would be great to have some snipers in a "I'm gonna shoot you" pose rather than looking off elsewhere (looking at you Infinity and Sedition Wars).

Edit: Another item you could market at the same time is things like your RPG launcher as part of a weapons pack. If you have them able to be aimed much the same as the shoulder fired rifle (so I am guessing a separate arm cocked to put it over the shoulder, aiming along it's length), that would also be great. Your current one on Eva is nice, but would be cool to have that and a few other heavy weapons available as a pack. Additional items could be a multiple grenade launcher like this, an additional HMG like a PKM which is similar to yours but with a box magazine. I am trying to think what else would be useful, but that's pretty good for a start. If you want to take those ideas on board that is

In agreement with Fenriswulf about the aiming. I've bought at least one of each of the ladies, and a few twice, but really, I would just be happy seeing anything new for them.

I've been beavering away at magnetizing the heads so I could swap them around. They're all so gorgeous I just can't commit to permanently gluing on one single head!

Yeah, We've found some alternative robotic minions.....

Picked up a few and some others.... Good looking figures.

Wasn't there a HITMAN type figure available? Do you all still have him in the site somewhere?

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Thanks for the order.

The hitman would have been Inigo Wilde. I sold him, along with a couple of other figures including the original Mei-Lin, to Antenociti's Workshop.

Sales have been going really well (thanks everyone!) to the extent that I'll need to put in a restock order tomorrow with the casters. Don't worry- all orders taken have been for product in stock, but it does mean the Fembots might go out of stock shortly. I've sold what would normally be a few months worth of stock in the course of a weekend...

Which is good, obviously, but I do wish I'd ordered more initial stock. It's just so hard to judge how well things will sell!

Shucks, a business owner "complaining" that business is booming. What will it be next... GW using the internet properly?

Seriously, Andrew, kudos to you. I'm thinking about ordering a full squad once the wedding's past. I will hit you up with an order in March.

I don't know how I missed these before. Just read through this post and my iPad seemed to magically order a (large) handful of resistance fighters. Really nicely done work.

I may have missed this, but are all the minis heroic scale? I was hoping they might be more true scale....

They're all more true scale


(except the 'heroic' head sprues which Statuesque has done to make people who wanted them for sticking on GW proportion minis happy)

So are all 10 of the new "heroic" scale heads also available to buy in the "regular" scale? I know that the top 5 are, but how about the bottom 5?

They're "statureque", as in their preportions are 1/48th - 28mm-ish, but they stand pretty tall, standing about the height of a Games Workshop model. This is the Commissar standing beside two Wargames Factory Russians, and a Perry American Civil War Cavalryman (anyone wanting better scale shots with that model just ask).

Hi folks.

The Fembots did indeed go out of stock and a restock order has been placed with the caster. I'd hope for no more than a two week turnaround. Mei-Lin and the Heroic Scale Heads are still available.

There are a few comparison pictures here: http://khorosho-productions.blogspot.co.uk/p/comparison-photos.html

All the sci-fi figures are of a consistent scale/size and are definitely not 'heroic scale'. If I were to call them a scale, they'd be around 1/56 but they're not scale models as various bits and pieces are distorted. 32mm tall (to the top of the head) is the average size of the figures.

The Heroic Scale Heads are, of course, heroic scale and are bigger than the heads used in the sci-fi range. I realised I actually used master castings in the comparison picture with the heads linked to above. The production castings are a teeny tiny bit smaller- only actually noticeable when you have master and production castings side by side. I'll update the photo when I get chance.

Just to keep everyone on their toes, my forthcoming fantasy range is very much heroic scale, as should be obvious by the photos. They're chunky ol' figures. And the forthcoming Pulp Alley and Pulp Horror range is slightly chunkier than the sci-fi range, but still not heroic scale. Think Copplestone scale. But the difference between the pulp and sci-fi figures is negligible.

@Siygess: I might add another sprue of 'unadorned' heads to the resistance fighter range, but it's not in the immediate plans. The Heroic Scale Heads are all enlarged variations of heads from across the resistance fighter range, with hairdos swapped around and altered.
