Wow, those Tau and Space Elf defense lines look really good

Dark Temple

in our on-line store.

Those defense lines are awesome looking! I'm not sold on the Dark Temple bases' thorns, though. They look pretty cartoony compared to everything else.

Maybe it's because of the colours used to paint them. By the way it is a quite old line Just needed few new bases to be complete.

They do look nice, but apparently transparent defense lines cause some...issues to arise in gameplay, maybe?

I find them perfect for my Dark Eldar army and have been waiting for the oval (flyer) base for quite some time.

So we go official

Today we have released two new products: Defence Line - TauCeti and Wraithstone. Both are a great piece of modular terrain not only for 40k fans
The TauCeti one is a totally resin product the Wraithstone is a mixture of resin and transparent acrylics. The fortification set overall length is approximately 72cm / 28 inches

Daaamn. Those defence lines are sexy as hell.

Hands down the best defense lines I've seen. Really capture the look well.

Hey now... Those tau ceti walls, in their constituent pieces, would make great scatter terrain for Infinity. Individually, they look a lot like generators, or consoles, or other generic sci-fi gubbins.

Outstanding. I play neither Eldar nor Tau, but I'm very happy someone has made such awesome pieces for those races.

I couldn't even care less about defense lines and think those are phenomenal. Best xenos equivalents that I've seen.

Just one thing:
Please don't make the large oval bases and 60mm bases random ordering. Take the extra 3 minutes and let the customer decide, which one he wants, esp. when he wants 2 different ones. Just now you can only get them when you are lucky.

Those defence lines are absolutely amazing. Of course, the top-notch paint on both helps a lot, but the sculpts look very nice indeed.

Just had a look. Those defence lines are priced at a very reasonable rate.

Do you have approximate weights of your various products? Or does the cart auto-update to the correct weight?

My thoughts as well, they would make pretty cool terrain for Tohaa-style scenery.

You can always write in the commentary which base you are interested in
We did it because we have the same codes for our retailers and shop and it's not so easy to coordinate everything in those both areas. It's easy to have options in one on-line store but when it comes to selling to retailers and distributors it can be tricky.

Yes we need to weight our products. Proper weight is important for our on-line store and retailers shipments, usage of material etc.
E.g. the tau ceti defence line is heavier than the wraithstone. On the other hand the wraithstone have additional acrylic parts that are more expensive than resin. In the end price for both is quite the same.

Wow I am liking these Defence Line - Tau Ceti and Wraithstone sets are great I like your Wraithstone model better that the Chapterhouse Kickstarter one it looks like you beat them to the punch and you didn't even crowdfund it. I assume this is just the beginning and you will be doing other sets like Dark Eldar and Orcs.

Yeah we started the necron like designs

Is the Tau Ceti defense line comparable in size to the GW Aegis Line? I.E. if you line them up side by side, are they roughly the same length?

If so, I'm thinking I should buy one.

You should change that to "cyber-robot designs" for legal reasons

I recently won a 20 euro voucher from Micro Arts in a Bloodbowl Tournament and I think I am going to buckle like a cheap chair and get that TauCeti ADL!

Any chance those defense lines will be available through U.S. stores (such as the Warstore). I nearly ordered one set, but between the VAT,shipping to the U.S. and conversion rate, it priced out more than I want to spend.

Perhaps I am the only one, but I really wish companies would make "toppers" instead (or in addition to) solid bases. Most models, especially metal or lopsided ones, tend to be top heavy and fall over on hills. The current solution is to glue a "slug" or a coin into the cavity of the base and make a low center of gravity. Solid resin bases don't have that cavity and they are usually fairly light-weight. This means I have problems making my Orks or tall metal models stay standing on slopes.

Wyrd has metal toppers which are nice enough but I have a pathological hatred of working with metal. Still, it may be the best solution give the bases used. Wrath of Kings is supposed to be using resin toppers from their existing line but it looks limited and I don't know how adaptable they are to the GW bases.

Guess I continue to glue sand to my bases. :(

^I agree with Breotan, toppers would be nice too.

As I know Warstore is ordering regular so they soon should have it in their offer

We would like to make toppers but at this moment it's technical difficult to make good resin toppers using our technology. We've made some tests and the results were really not satisfying. The best toppers would be made out of plastic. Unfortunately good plastic manufacturing is extremely expansive, and we need to wait to be able to invest in this technology.

Some of our clients really like the resin bases because they are heavy. This way the plastic miniatures are more stable on the table.

Today we want to show you our redesigned Jungle bases. We are starting with round ones





Jungle Bases

in our on-line store.

They are lovely, when will we see any square/rectangular ones if at all?

I've a few Lizardmen that would appreciate 'em
