Seriously, seriously cool move, Artel.

Now, THAT is how to garner goodwill.

This is one of the coolest things I've seen an established miniature company do.

Super cool, you release new minis I want so often. Some fantastic stuff.

Thank you for all kind words, guys, really heartwarming

I've only made one order from you, but what I received is some of the best resin I've ever worked with. It's smooth and the details are perfect, with no bubbles on anything visible and only a slight mould line.

I think some other resin manufacturers could learn a thing or two from your production process.

Yeah Artel's resin is hands down the best I've ever worked with.

Those mad Russians actually did it.

Never have I been more enthusiastic about slavery!
A bit NSFW.


Well done Artel. You've surpassed yourselves. Big Kudos to whomever sculpted this kit.

That's one of the most customizable kits I've ever seen.

Bravo!

And the best part is you can have one of each and have a mixed pair for the next Archon...

That is by far one of the best executed kits I have seen.

I think I want to buy this, give away the Archon...

And then make a grot with some thots

I'm hoping that they'll come out with a huge sword armed female version!

If the soldier in that suit could believably be a normal human that would also be a nice proxy for a heavy weapons team in a more technological advanced IG regiment.

Is he Hungarian?

Not sure what you mean. The company making this is Russian in case that's what you're asking.

I love those exo suits. They'd make great Blackjack proxies for Infinity. I thought they were released some time ago though?

They previewed it last summer IIRC but it was just put up on their facebook page today FWIW.

Literally the day after I placed an order. I'd been bugging them about these guys for a while too.

Guess I'll email them and see if I can get them added to my current order. I really like their look.

I agree they'd make good Blackjack proxies, but their bases are smaller.

Agreed and, yeah, that sucks. He's filling up that 32mm base so I don't see much of an issue with bumping the model up to a 40mm. Looking at a quick image search to refresh my memory, is the blackjack on a 40mm base? I can't tell if it's a custom larger one (like 50mm or 45mm) or just a lower height but it looks bigger. This model will be noticeably smaller though in bulk but that's not really much of an issue with their whole silhouette rules thing.

I think I found a suitable brutal yet scifi sword that I can 3d print to add to the back. Also, 40k has grimdarked the hell out of my tactical common sense as I probably will use a primaris bare head instead.

I already contacted them and they got me sorted. Can't complain!

I'll make sure I've finished painting my Blackjack by the time these arrive and I'll certainly post them up on Youtube once they get here.

Pretty sure the Blackjack is on a 40mm.

Glad to hear it! I took a look at your channel link... and wow... you buy a lot of figs all across the spectrum. Are you playing in dozens of different campaigns/groups and paint like a madman or do you have the most epic pile of shame ever?!?

It's a Reach reference.

Ah, ok. That's my favorite Halo game (both single and multiplayer). I was thinking more Live. Die. Repeat/Edge of Tomorrow and Starship Troopers.

Yeah, there is way more of a "Edge of Tomorrow" feel than anything else.

PS: And that's not a bad thing.

I guess I should finally go watch Edge of Tomorrow.

I read All You Need is Kill and Armor almost back to back and they've both kind of gelled together.

Could've sworn I've posted this one before, but oh well, WIP of Inquisitor Carolus, also of the Vaults of Terra series:



And concept art for a tank commander:

It's a fun movie. It's not particularly close to the book but fun nonetheless as a popcorn action flick. I love the practical suit effects and it would have been great if they had done that with Starship Troopers to at least attempt that aspect of the source material.

Spoiler:

I would say that fellow is suitably grimdark!

Oh my days.

Whoa. Can you get two sniper rifles? If so I think I may have found some female marauders.

I think one of those assassins has a personal anti-grav field activated!

My only *slight* disappointment is the lack of cool helmets. That's about it.
