That will definitely be an issue with this new squad as well. The heads look pretty small in these big pictures already, and being a 30mm tall miniature will accentuate the effect considerable.

Yeah, the heads and arms tend to be slightly small, because they are scaled more to human proportions than heroic like GW models. They fit in better alongside say Elysians or DKoK models, which are more human proportioned as well.

As close to 100% of the Artel W Arbites sold will be used in GW games not featuring Elysians/DKoK I would recommend Artel using "normal" GW proportions (not extremes such as FW or Cadian - but mimicking the new Necromundians and the original AA).

For me, the only thing stopping me from buying the whole Artel line is the minis being smallish (apart from the Chastener). I especially dont want my heroes (such as Inquisitors) looking puny next to the normal troopers...

Those heads are small even compared to Elysians or DKoK.

Some less great news from Facebook:

And not so pleasant news, I`m afraid.We`re expecting a significant loss of our assortment in the nearest future - in a week or so, and it will be permanent. Many new miniatures are coming, but MANY of old ones will be removed forever, sorry. So, if you want something - take it now or never.

In the comments it has been confirmed that this concerns most if not all of the 40k models.

Also, this image was attached to the post, teaser:

Sorry, guys, I will be laconic, as there is MUCH to do today. That`s the list of what will be cancelled:
Gregor, Captive, Gideon, Chapter master, Warseer, Kiborc, Bone Banshee, Chastener, Heroic Commissar for sure. Boneshees - highly possible.

We don`t quit making miniatures, no way

I am thinking a Singer Inquisitor will be pretty safe if she is made

One thing about your Enforcers; I’m confused as to how their cuffs are supposed to work? It looks like you have the chain connected to the hoop rather than the locking block?

They copy from dis...

Definitely time for me to put an order in then as i have had my eye on your models for some time. Is it best to pm you a list of what i want?

Ahhh so that's why GW are finally releasing a 32mm Gregor that's going to be a ball ache to buy.

Sorry to hear about this. Your minis, frankly, make GW look like amateurs.

Only found out about you guys recently and have been looking at an order for about 2 weeks. Best to grab them from eBay store?

Most unfortunate. Got the rest of Gregor's crew while I still can.

I've gone for the Distaff and Savant myself, along with a few other models that will make for excellent Imperial Scions for my Knight army.

Your sculpting is great. You've really captured the 40K feel.

You'll have a loyal following regardless!

That's unfortunate. Your 40k minis are really mountains ahead of the GW's ones. I can't buy anything right now, otherwise i would purchase all of them , keep up the good work.

BTW, is this decision motivated for certain english bully company?

To be fair, I don't think we can reasonably call GW a bully in this case. I'm going to buy some of Artel's models myself, but we all know that they're unlicensed models of GW characters/IP. This one isn't like trying to claim copyright on Arrows, Halberd and Roman Numerals.

It`s not about bullying, the do what they should - it`s company`s resposibility to protect it`s IP. you can`t blame `em for that. We totally don`t. It was expected, sooner or later, so... time to move on

It`s there again, but, really, for you and for us it`s better via Artelw.com

Are you aware that your shop doesn’t clear the basket when you check out? I just bought a bunch of stuff and it’s still there waiting as though it wasn’t…
To be clear I got my order confirmation emails etc. It’s just kinda unusual.

Just got my stuff in. Quality is top notch but found it funny that the resin is in like 3 different tones

It shouldnt be that way. Can you give more info (email, number of order) for the technical support in PM?

We`re now working with three different casting workshops around the Russia, and some details could be casted in different places We`re supervising the quality of resin, but there could be slightly different compound formulas

It was exactly the same for me. Kind of confusing until the order confirmation email came in.
I'll PM W the order info so they can look into it.

Same here. I've had a Paypal confirmation email, but no other sort of confirmation email. Should I be expecting a different one from Artel?

Yes, I had one email saying order received, awaiting payment and one saying payment received right after my PayPal went through.
I would contact them with your order # and ask if everything went through alright.

Question what is the kibork warlord size comparison to other ork meganobs

He's very similar to the Black Reach boss. Bit taller with the scenic basing but his head and such are smaller due to real/heroic scaling.

Just checked out on the web store. Notification emails came through fine for me but shopping bag still isnt clearing after payment.
