It's a good thing that Apocalypse is getting a revision soon. I'm already sitting on 3 old style Broadsides, 6 of the FW suits, and three new missilesides, and these arms look too good to ignore.

Why does my spartan heads idea get ignored by every company out there?

/cry

I do like those Tau arms though, even though I don't play them. Much nicer than the old style, and the new.

Yeah congrats but all I want to know will you be getting a stockist in Europe otherwise I won't be getting anything from you guys which is a shame.

Talk to your store owner, tell them you want Chapterhouse products. Distributors don't just stock stuff willy-nilly, they need to see demand for it.

Would absolutely love to but we have no Hobby stores anywhere near here

Honestly they look good but I have learned with Digitals never to trust them until I see a printed copy as certain companies have shown it can go south real quick. You just end up disappointed when that happens and that makes me a sad panda :(.

The dark tech terrain looks, well, really good.

I've not been taken by CHS's stuff in the past but this looks very promising. I'll be watching with interest.

So essentially, these are Broadside arms, not arms for the standard suit loadouts?

if I played tau I buy the rails guns. much much better than 'hugh and puff big bad wolf'

If I had a z-brush artist on board I would see what I could do.. As it is I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

I have 200 of these arms on hand, and they came out awesome.

Im not sure what the weapons and rules are for Tau, surely you could use these for whatever you wanted as long as your opponent understood when the game started.

Those LOOK AMAZING!

A big jetpack kit for Broadsides would be sweet.

I'm very much liking the arms, and the defensive walls. Interested in seeing how they translate to actual kits.

I got the one from B4H Kickstarter and now this! You are pretty much FORCING me to throw money at you guys for that defense line! It looks beautiful! And those gun emplacements look fantastic, love the "machine gun" one

Well, I guess I'll have 2 aegis defense lines and switch around just for the sake of variety

Do tell, Ive not seen these (for some reason, any guesses, I havent played 40k in about a year).

Ask and ye shall receive.....http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brush4hire/brush-4-hire-barricades-and-bunkers

Now the drawings for the DarkTech walls have the green bits in the wall. Are those going to be in the model as an insert/extra piece or are the walls going to be one solid piece with no clear green parts?

Very, very, nice arms. Are those meant to be "replacements" of sorts for the new Broadside suits or the Crisis suits to make them interchangeable as broadsides?

Whatever they are meant for, they certainly would improve the look of the gun broadside (or any XV-9 counting as such).

Yeah. I personally did not like the new look that was given to the Broadsides.

CHS, I noticed that the Railgun "barrels" are removable, does this mean that you may potentially be doing a set of arm-ends for the High-Yield Missile Pods too?

Would be cool to see some Eldar Warlock heads mocked up something along the lines of the larger farseer heads, just scaled down some. And maybe some torso's to go with them? All you would need is gaurdin legs to make them....... Maybe some kick ass looking witch blades as large as they are kinda like the pic of the warlock in the codex in the purple get up. His sword is larger then him. Id like to run warlocks with DA or GD but all the GW figs are ugly.

Ours will be seperate green resin components

I already have someone working on an additional missile component that will replace the rail barrels.

Nice stuff, good to see you back in the game
I assume the "separate green resin components" will be transparent/semi-transparent? Have you considered selling a couple of different colours? Personally I'd want the green ones but there's plenty of players who prefer different colours for the precoloured 'glowy' bits like anarchy models crystals etc (which, let's face it, see 99%+ of their use on necron armies as well).
Would seem like a relatively cheap to provide option!

Maybe I missed it, but I don't quite see you confirm whether these are made to fit the new (cooler, but pricy) broadsides or the old crisis suit chassis.
Since I assume you've been rather too busy to commission stuff like this over the past few months I'd assume it's pre-tau release stuff and therefore fits the old xv-8 kit, but you know what they say about assuming

Those heavy battlesuit arm guns could go a long way toward fixing the botched visual design of a giant robot kit whose main gun forces it into basically one pose. Your kits would provide dynamism and a more recognizable silhouette.

You would be correct... I have not seen the new Broadside kits and dont know how they scale compared to the XV8 suits. I had these designed to fit on the Crisis kits. Would they fit the new broadsides? Yes if the arm connections are the same size as the crisis suits.

Sweet....as soon as they go on sale I'll be ordering one. Finally a themed ADL with guns and comm tower for my Crons.

These do look quite nice. I hope they sell, as I don't know how Chapterhouse plan to pay down that $25k judgement...

ah, good to know. that would make for an ideal "build an affordable broadside unit" pack then. Any idea on the coloured components being offered in more than one colour?

I just want to know if you guys at chapter house plan on making positional legs for the battle suits i cant handle the same poses anymore!!! I would wet myself and throw my credit card at you if you did ........ Who says I need rent for the month!

Congratulations Chapterhouse, welcome back to the game.

I'll be watching these new Tau bits with great interest.

I review my earlier statement, about already having 1 full unit of the old BSides, 2 of the FW suits, and another one of the current Missilesides, take note of the fact that in order to use the proffered arms I will have to buy GW battlesuits, and compare all that against the arguments of some that buying from you is stealing from GW, and their arguments are even more comical than ever.

Welcome back, the rail guns are looking awesome.

I would highly recommend putting that teaser video on youtube however. It loads funky as is and youtube is far more accessible to everyone on mobile devices etc.

Keep up the good work!

Wait, are those new rail gun arms scaled to the crisis suit or scaled to fit the new broadside?

Already answered on this page:
Intended for Crisis Suits, as he hasn't seen the new Broadside kit yet. Might work as well though.

Nick, I know you have a lot going on, however... Since you are now using 3d modelling, are you going to go back and maybe redo some of your older products? I really like the concept of some of your shoulderpads but the details look a bit rough.
