It is pretty impressive.

For a smaller walker to pair with this, I'm going to be using it with the Gangfight Games medium mech from Mechadrome:

There's a lot of different arm options, although you might be able to use some Puppets War weapons with it. But the enclosed canopies are a great match!



Copying the links for the Puppets War Prime mech over to the new page (lots of specific weapon links are on the last page though, so well worth checking out):

39 euros?

A certain company will not be amused!

You mean, like their Enforcer?


I have it and it's a great kit. Admittedly, the Mantic Strider might be closer to the look of that suit.



RiTides - I've always found the Mechadrome stuff to be prohibitively expensive. I like the idea though.

Quick question - is this big walker suitable as a Knight stand-in, or is it not big enough? I know it's not as bulky (particularly in the shoulders) but if it's anywhere near that's what I'd like to use it as . Maybe mounting it up on top of some terrain.

I'd planned for a while to use the Mechadrome mechs as Ironclads and pair them with a Knight for a null deployment list (with the Knight being the only thing on the ground and so held in reserve) but never had a suitable Knight model to match them... until now

Edit: Took the plunge and ordered one! However, after you add the weapon options (which a Knight obviously comes with for the most part) it ends up being 2.5x the cost . I got:

100x 3x1mm MAGNET
50X 5X2MM MAGNET
---
GATLING GUN-pair
DOUBLE AUTOMATIC CANNON-pair
FLAME CANNON-pair
NUCLEAR HEATER-pair
AT CANNONS-pair
---
EPIC GATLING CANNON
EPIC AT CANNON
EPIC FLAME CANNON
EPIC LASER CANNON
EPIC PRIME BLADE
---
1xPRIME WALKER V1

I didn't order the missle attachment for the back since I don't plan to equip that and have other bits I could swap in. I also couldn't decide whether the gatling or automatic cannon would look better as a stubber, so got both and will use the extras for something else.

But yeah, after the guns it hurts a lot more . I guess it wouldn't if you only wanted to configure it one way, but it seems like folks will want options.

To be fair you didn't need to order 15 weapons and all those magnets from them either

If you want a laugh check out a FW contemptor and then add 15 weapons to the cart and look at the balance

At 39 Euros that thing is criminally cheap even without guns. Heck I am tempted to buy a few to make a post mech battle set of terrain features.

Well it's really 5 weapons plus the little auxiliary ones. I probably could have used some existing ones, but if you just want a single set of weapons you're still looking at a lot more than 39 euros. Still think it's great and can't wait to get it obviously

Lol, yeah, the forge world's worth of weapons was optional.


@Puppets War: I was wondering if you guys cast the heads with the bodies for certain models. I was interested in picking up a squad of strikers but preferred a different head. Is it possible to substitute different heads if they're the same cost with the order? I was basically interested in making these guys.

warboss - I don't know if you save money ordering specific bundles but the striker body does not have heads cast as far as I know.
I believe you want

I might be mistaken but I think the closest thing to that is
http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=235

Thanks for that but I've been combing the site and it seems like the best way is to get striker squads and then add what I need like heads and jetpacks. With the air cav squad, the heads and the arms aren't the ones I need. They do sell the headless bodies you listed which leads me to believe that they're not casted together but they've also got the wrong arms (I want the double grip kwidowmaker set). Hopefully I can sub in a different set of heads for the same price.

I have to admit that despite following this thread that I was astonished by just how much Puppets War has in terms of sheer variety on their site! They've got really been busy the past months.

QFT! Closer and closer to liquidating what's left of my non-CSM 40k stuff and reinvesting in PW tasties

I'd just go ahead and do it now - at least Puppetswar doesn't put out garbage rules, just awesome models.

Yes, You can order Strikers with other pads and heads, just contact us first to discuss this. But this is possible and was done quite a few times, even recently.

I'd like to show two things today.

First, is one of our earlier sets, Space Insect Heads. We still like them a lot, and I personally love two heads with pair of three eyes each. Guess why?

And then... we have something already painted. Łukasz Grzby, which is also known as C'tan, painted our Stone Golem for Hussar 2015 Polish painting competition.
Just one picture here...

Holy crap, that's beautiful!

RITides must be fumbling for his credit card right now, that's the only reason he hasn't posted about it yet.

excellent looking golem.

MeanGreenStompa linked me to it this morning . Absolutely beautiful! I (somewhat shockingly) already have the stone golems I need atm, but I really love it

That really is fantastic.
Hey, it looks like you guys might have updated your landing page (maybe?). I see a nice big list of new releases now.. I don't remember that before.

That golem is a great deal and is fantastic.

Holy crap that is one detailed diorama love the fishing line caught to the mouth just amazing.

Dem water effects...

Holy sauce soaked balls! I NEED that for my Circle army so bad!

I don't suppose you have a US distributor for the rock monkey?



Also, RiTides, just who are you planning on playing 40k with, and when?

That is glorious...

As for our FLGS group, Jeff "Warmahordes" Daniels just bought some Tau . I already have the whole army, was just pending the right Knight model

Holy crap. That is one of the most beautiful dioramas I have ever laid eyes on. The fishing line and fisherman running away is simply fantastic. That has had to have won some contests.

They do ship to the US. It's only like $40 right now so that's a pretty good deal for the size of the model.

Thanks. I'll be pm'ing you tomorrow with the details to see if it is possible.

Don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but there seems to be a load of stuff on sale at the moment:
http://puppetswar.com/category.php?id_category=154

Couldn't tell you how much by, but the lowered prices are even better than PW's normally very reasonable levels.

Looks like 10%, though perhaps deeper in some places? Thanks for bringing it to our attention

From my recent searches, it looks to be about 10%. The big stompy robot previewed earlier in this thread is quite reasonable. I did a bit of a double take when I saw it was more expensive for me to outfit my 10 elite troopers than it is to buy the huge robot! Although there is an argument to be made for the sheer amount of parts and individual molds for the various bits... but all that resin in the giant robot! I don't know if that is a lower than normal intro price on the big bot.

Well as I noted outfitting the giant robot is where they make up for that somewhat but still a sweet deal!

I really liked reading some of these comments. Yes, discount is roughly 10% for selected (but very numerous) models.
You can find all of them here:

http://puppetswar.com/category.php?id_category=154

And today we have something new too: Hooded Elite Heads.

http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=528

Do You like it?

Those heads are kinda nice. I'm trying to remember if you have some hooded ones without bionics as that would be really useful for Frostgrave players or anyone wanting to add a hoodie to a model that doesn't have cybernetics. Either way, yes.. I've seen companies try hoodies and them not look right but you nailed it Again..

BTW Puppetswar, what's the lead time on the big robots? I ordered mine the day they released and was curious about delivery and stuff. No rush, I imagine you guys are swamped, just hoping to see it before Christmas

Before Christmas? Yep, it will be on time. And on a more serious note, we hard try to complete orders within 12 working days and then shippment adds its own time... Nothing changed here.

Today - something really old. Our set of Red Army Orc Heads.
