Are RH fixing that up for you?

I assume they are taking the minis back since Mathieu clearly doesn't appreciate art.

I haven't worked up the courage to ask, to be honest. I asked for my missing stuff, but not the slightly miscast stuff. Ok miscast. And it's been very quiet on their front lately.

If they're miscast, than ask for them back. Nothing dodgy there, and I'm sure you can send them photos. What's the worst they can do?

Yeah, they were happy enough to send me a new Cruz when I showed them the crappy mould line she came with.

Alright mommy, I'll clean out my room! :p

I'll get to it next week, though, it's crazy busy at work.

Mathieu has taken our crown as the new anti-RH figurehead.

I'll take 3 dozen STUGs thanks! That is a great take on the STUG Mark, love it. (Also another 60 Valkir please)

I'm hopeful about getting things made and the StuG looks nice even if it isn't a proper tank. I'd still buy three.

The news about China considering air shipping the third wave over is nice, and if they do it I will give kudos to WGF for trying to mitigate some of the delays because sending that much stuff by air isn't the cheap way out. I will wait until that plane is loaded though.

Also the stug will have a tracked version also, so tread heads are covered .

Are we still looking at a possible "done by the end of September"? I sure hope so.

I think I'm going to enjoy assembling those Valkir a great deal. I wonder if poda_t still wants his box or not?

Not a chance, Mathieu.

Cropped out the STUG for viewing/zooming pleasure. It's roots are easily discernible but it looks nicely sci-fi'd. Really love it, even better than the APC.

The chart is awesome and very helpful. Mathieu, you can just see from the pace that that is out, better to focus on what is actually possible. Air shipment does sound great, though!

The box art is cool, the Stugs are growing on me. Although the one catching air over the Mortis seems a bit... over the top

Oh and here I thought the models were already delivered.. since I'm overseas I figured someone took my shipment :p So stage 3 stuff isnt done at all, that's good to know!

So when's the tank coming out?

I don't know. Could be nothing more than a gut feeling that is entirely wrong, but it seems like the vehicular models go through the process faster.

Especially if the tracked version still uses the "fender" works we are seeing

I think it's just down to whatever is being focused on at the time and how much "new" work needs to be done. The two APC variants are both right down the list of stuff that's gotten done, and should in theory be quite easy as they're variants of an existing kit that's almost done.

Not a fan of tne tank at all. The apc is amazing but this is not at all.

My opinion is your opinion with a goatee and access to an agony booth.

Looooove the hover tank-hunter. The APC is just a bit too "you got some sci-fi in my Germans".

Being a tread-head, that is based off the STuG-III tank destroyer/assault gun but tweaked for the grav systems added and powered by the Iron Core reactor like the leviathans and the APC

There is no 'Tank' The 'Tank' is a lie!

It's an SPG.

And I like it. The one catching air, not so much, but artistic licence and all.

The one on the ground looks great, I hope that the tracked version doesn't mess around with the look much. Obviously the vents on the rear of the sides will go as you won't need them, but like Shasolenzabi I hope the front 'fenders' as he calls them are left in place.

and that pic is now my background.

Those vents to the side-rear seems addons if one goes Anti-Grav version, based on my own fluff, it would be the tracked variant as that is more trustable, and if a Tau EMP went off, treads stay on the ground, not fall out of the sky! I can understand grav tanks.

SPG's are just a sub set from tank. Less ball bearings needed as they do not have a turret-ring to line with bearings. I do like the aesthetics in the redesign, so that is why I hope the tracked version keeps the imagery in that image above, but has the tracks option as fitted skirts as well.

Gun options like the Thor/Loki would likely also be involved

I think it will likely have options, the present image Mark shared seems to be "skirt" oriented.

WW-II STuG-III with Long Tank killer gun and skirts


Marks' design has the skirts, interesting to see if it has a long barrel armor killer.

why not post the rest?

The number of bits you get on a sprue with these is almosr bewildering. I remember last time I got my Eisenkern trrops out to maybe build a couple I put them back away again because there were just so many pieces I wanted to play with and not enough time!

However, seeing the Valkir is making me want to give it another go.

This. I'm sure Mark has not overlooked that, but that's the form of the kit I'd be most after.

Those look awesome. I look forward to picking some up within the next 2 years.
