Very smart design on those las cannons. It amazes me that more companies don't take ease of use into consideration when making parts like this.

**SickSix**

I love the design. I just have very little confidence they can send me such a clean looking cast.

**Alpharius**

Interesting...

Seems to also possibly suffer from "Head In Chest" syndrome...

Turret Mk II

Missile Turret

Also available with gatling, laser, double laser and double autocannon options.

These look really cool and it saddens me that I just don't have the confidence in their casting process.

That wing pack looks sick. If only assault marines didn't blow.

Only for a few more months!

Nobody mentioned it, but they've got a bundle deal of 10 troops with flight packs, power swords, pistols, helmets, and 100 magnets. It's a bit pricey at nearly $70, but probably not bad if you're looking to get everything together. The fact that all of the magnets are included is really nice.

I also wound up placing an order with them a couple weeks back. I've been curious about the quality myself since it seems sometimes their stuff comes out decent and other times it comes out total crap. I figured I'd keep things simple and got the trooper heads and standard shoulder pads. They actually came surprisingly quick. Only about 2 weeks. I haven't thoroughly gone over them yet, but from the looks of things, while I got a lot of flash on the sprues, the parts themselves seem to be in pretty good shape with some pretty decent casts. Maybe I'll take a few photos. If they can maintain a consistent quality, I may eventually actually order the trooper bodies and weapon hands as well. I wish they'd just release an empty left hand for those guys.

Ok PuppetsWar, we need this suit to be about twice its current size. There is a gold mine to be had for the first company to offer a better alternative to these HORRID 'centurions' that GW is about to release.

I guess PuppetsWar is shying away from Dakka due to some of the (constructive) criticism they have been getting here. But here is a teaser from facebook.

It would be nothing but praise if their castings and more importantly, quality control were better. Look at the threads and feedback for Kromlech, Maxmini and Anvil who do similar work. Puppets War have particularly excellent designs and sculpts.

Yeah, Puppets needs to work on their casting. Several of the small stuff has bee full of heavy flash that needed heavy work to clear. Same for Kromlech though.

**rhodry**

I love the design on puppets stuff I just wish that there casting was tidier more like anvil,maxminis or madrobots as they seem to have good quality control

Any idea when these are going to be released?

**deadairis**

Casting issues and, to be honest, communication. I realize the product is what moves, but the communication is what closes. In the rare case I have an issue with Kromlech or Anvil, they bust their respective humps to get it taken care of.

They really do seem to have abandoned Dakka, though, going by the image Alpharius posted, they are certainly paying attention to events in miniatures market.

For what it's worth, I ordered about six head sprues, the Valkyrie-like flyer they make, as well as some heavy weapons, and received them in the states pretty quickly. Castings were a LOT better than the last batch I received from them. There was one error item which they sent out a replacement for immediately. All in all I'm very pleased and hope they can keep increasing casting quality, because they do have some great designs.

Good to hear! Could you post pictures?

Because I love their designs. I mean look at those beautiful concepts Alpharius posted up!

**Barzam**

I was fairly pleased with the quality of the bits I'd received when I ordered from them. Yeah, there was flash, but that's no big deal. But, then again the bits I ordered were fairly simplistic ones that didn't have a ton of surface detail. I'm still really tempted to get the Strike Armors though. I kind of think they'd make for some nice Tau-allied Space Marines.

**Lutharr101**

i ordered some stuff from them ages ago. took ages for them to arrive and the weapons were a casting rightoff. I just decided I couldnt be bothered with the hassle and lobbed in in my bitz box

personally id not get anything from them til they sort out their casting process. All well and good having top notch designs and sculpts if the casting lets it all down

**davethepak**

I placed an order for various bits - will give a report when they come in.

I am very interested in checking out those Ripper and Destroyer suits....very.

I like the Trooper and Striker, but the spelling error of "Tropper" strikes me as very amateurish.

The Trooper would--if the render is close to the final product--be an awesome alternative Alguaciles source for Infinity.

**Bolognesus**

Oi, get your grubby nomad mitts off of my shiny new acon regulars!

**Gitsplitta**

I really like the continuity between pieces. Much more indicative of a single military entity that's guiding the design process. I assume it's... guardsman, marine, termie, crusader (or whatever those stupid looking new things are called)?

**Bolognesus**

Centurion. And yes, that's about it. I'd say scout rather than guardsman but hey

Might begood for carapaceguard/stormtroopers, too.

**Guildsman**

I'm more interested in the "tropper" rifles. Not a fan of the new nomad combis. Assuming they scale well, these could be a good replacement.

Ohhh, yesss. Give that big Destroyer all the weapon options, and I see myself buying lots of them to be Centurions.

Oh, hey, check it out:

**Bolognesus**

Needs room for a hull gun so it could proxy for a chimera as well.

**Sikil**

I love the Ripper suits, Will order a bunch when available...

**Azazelx**

Great designs from PW, as always. I look forward to seeing pics of their casting quality as people get them.
