And I'm pretty sure they're the same size the plastic ones from BFG, they fit perfectly on the transports I bought which does not seem like a coincidence.

Quick update, the final set of prints have arrived been cleaned up and will ship to the casters this week, that took longer than expected but that is the nature of the beast I suppose. Casting has begun with the first print batch moulds, and batch two mould making is in progress, the images below show the batch three prints shipping this week.
As can be seen we now have two variant Hierarch's in the tainted command set and I decided that the Skinnerz tractor needed an engine boost plug in in order to tow those heavy arty carriages and we have a portable generator option too all added to pledges for free.
Once again - an astounding level of details, those tainted command look amazing.
The issue of the ork vehicle only being a 6-cylinder has already come up on another forum as being lore-breaking (orks not running a V8 potentially turning the lore upside down in a way not seen since they started growing from mushrooms)
Apparently there is a flat 4 cylinder in the main unit to compensate, which has eased some of the concern
Coming Soon from TMG, to our retail partners at Vanguard Miniatures, the Entomorph Broodmother - a massive(ish) 12cm long model kit, that comes with a variety of optional biological weapon arms.

Thought you all may enjoy the odd picture as I build some of the campaign pieces, these are the first of these models ever built outside of a computer.
So we have the Tainted wheels of death set consisting of the Decimator super heavy tank escorted by four Rampager light tanks, oh look at the baby ones so cute, also had time to clean up a couple of redeemers as well.
It may help to know that he Redeemers and Rampagers are on 25mm round bases and the Decimator is on a 40mm square base for gauging relative size. Not the best pictures but light has been poor today.
More images as an when I have time to build stuff.
Something for you 15mm Skinnerz collectors this evening, the first of two variants of resin truck to ferry your warbands around in. If these are popular we hope to add even more variants later, the model has been designed to be modular with expansion in mind.
The Gobblers field guns will also fit in the back quite nicely too.

Lovely looking piece of terrain, can see that making a nice centrepiece. However it is a little on the pricey side - is it a block of solid resin I take it?
I'm increasingly looking at some of the 3D printed terrain from the 'Bay, which you can tend to get for a lot cheaper.
"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

I have had several requests to release this model despite the minor wing fit problem previously noted so here it is the Novan fast cruiser is released today. Please read the stores model info before deciding on purchase cheers.
Novan Fast Cruiser - £8.00
A multi part full resin cast model of the Novan Fast Cruiser.
Please note that this model has minor fit issues with the wings which is why i’m selling them cheaper than would normally be the case. Customers have requested release of this model regardless of this problem so I have done so. If you look at the gallery images of the ship you can see what the problem is and make up your own mind if you want to purchase or not, really you just need to trim/file the wings to sit better in the recesses and tidy up with green stuff if you wish.
Approximate model dimensions, Length: 85mm Wingspan: 41mm
Awesome stuff! Thank you so much for making these models possible by the way. Any luck convincing John and Ben to expand upon them (as in escorts and bigger stuff)? ;-)
Is that the plastic kit that was on Kickstarter? When does it hit retail?
However, I would also like some 3mm straight, symmetrical pieces. One can never have enough gothic spaceship dressing.
That fast cruiser looks like a must buy! How are stock levels? Would I be able to wait for the 6mm gothic terrain and still be able to buy the cruiser in the same order?

The plastic kit from the crowdfunder campaign will be available for general retail soon, can't give you a clear ETA yet.

There are currently still 17 kits in stock. I think waiting a bit wouldn't be impossible (would save you some shipping costs I assume), kinda depends on (a) how fast this stock would run out and (b) how fast the caster could resupply if that were the case.

I think it will depend how it sells. It's a bit of departure from the flying cathedrals of their existing Helios and Gothic Spaceship lines.
No shortage of ideas, just whether the market will support them.
