I'm not trying to be negative, but that seems like a pretty niche market. Perhaps Max Mini would be better served by producing things with a wider appeal.

You are kidding, right? RIght?

niche market within niche market ....

@MeanGreenStompa: I'll show some updates soon as the models are sitting on my desk (which I can proudly say IMO totally rock ). The things slowed down a tad since we ruled IGG out and we're working our way to get a Kickstarter account - which poses some problems are it is available only for US and UK .

Kacper worked out our 2nd quick weekly promo - most of the orc items are significantly cheaper for a short period of time.

Remember when I posted some items created during creative fridays? First of the casts landed on my desk:

Zug the Magnificent will be added to the store as soon as Chris finishes the paintjob .

I don't know what it is, but I like it!

Is that... Is that an orc getting ready to launch a goblin out of a man-portable cannon? Oh, that would be such a fun piece to paint up.

@Guildsman: yup . Check this post from a couple pages back for a render

You know I have to be honest I was never really sold on the render originally but seeing the printed version I am gobsmacked I want one now so when can I pick it up then

I will also say I like the fact that your Orcs have taken a less toon vibe to them, they seem more organic if that makes sense which makes for a good alternative

I like it!

I'd like to see more angles to see what's going on with his left hand (how's he holding those bombs?) and not to ok too keen on his WWE HeavyWAAAGH Title Belt.

Overall though, NICE!

Thought I would give a quick review knock at the door this morning (typical the only day I get a lie in) however after the posty past me a package that needed signing for I started to fill better about my interruption.

Opening up I found two bags one containing resin parts the other metal miniatures now to the review part.

The metal minis were the jungle group, 5 nice miniature set detail is spot on and casting is very clean and sharp.
Found a little flash on 2 of the models but very easily cleaned up, the only other very small criticism ( this is being picky ) was some very small holes on the minis but easily filled with GS.

Now the resin is a mixture of the ATV model and desert nomad heads, well what can I say but yes that good.

The heads are crammed with detail they are amazing really do look FANTASTIC !!! top marks on those guys my favourite has to be the guy with the scar across his face so evil looking.
The casting is crisp and clean no faults to be found.
Now the ATV model once again casting is clean and sharp no real issues to found, the thing I really loved about this model was how well it fitted together on a dry run no glue needed well unless you want it to stay together of course.
Also it has an alternative back end one for a standard version and the other for a gunner to stand, now not only do you get a choice but also an extra end for your bitz box
The other thing is the body could easily be upgraded and converted with extra detail of your choice, so more ways to personalise it.

Over all really impressed with the order quality and design

You guys need to get a mailing list. I keep missing these promos!

@Azazelx: we had some troubles with mailing lists in the past (people were not happy with those) so we dropped them - but if it turns out there's a need I may ressurect them .
In a meantime - maybe you could try rss feed of our FRB profile (here's the link in case you're not sure how to get it). Might do the trick.

For something slightly crazier than usual - let there be music, Sonic Guns have been added to the store:

My favourite one is the trumpet gun, closely followed by bass guitar .
Oh, and here's a turntable (had a good laugh browsing for sound effects):

The sound effect for the first (trumpet) gun is missing,

sigh

they do look good though

@Orlando - something happened during upload I guess. It is not missing but has been muted a lot . If you increase volume you'll notice the humming sound - that's it, but it should be louder.

Hey, you said you weren't going to make sonic weapons to go with the sonic helmets. I'm glad you did tough. Those look really cool. Now, if I just had some money and some spare bits...

Look what I saw on Facebook how cool do these look


I think I might have a use for all those 1/35 kits in my loft after all

they're probably orks, but if hey were scaled for ogryn size then I might just have to build an ogryn detachment. Really love the two handed shotgun, it stood out for me for some reason.

Mork's teef, they're brilliant!

I felt the same way! Looks great now... that is one creative model.

Hmm, I wonder if that Stahlhem means they're at war with Kromlech's Orks

I thought exactly the same thing WW2 Orks of different races how cool would that look

@lone dirty dog: hehehe, you made it here before me mate .
Awesome to hear the feedback . I admit I was so excited when I assembled first model that I had to call buddies and share . And even today I managed to squeeze a couple fo minutes assembling more .

But before the KS campaign we keep adding regular releases:

It screams Orc War II to me ...

Sorry had to post the pic it was to dam cool not to yes WW II themed Orks now that's Christmas come early

Great guns as well

glad you posted it mate - especially considering that with all the workload I am not always able to do it myslef (at least in the timely manner) .

Oh, and here's another shot - 2 little fellas guarding (? I hope ) my laptop :

Brilliantly humorous!

Those are very cool.

Excellent

I love 'em. I can't wait to see how an entire squadron of the Green Army will look like.

sample Green Alliance troopers sighted ....
