VIPERS Available now!

Well, I am happy to announce the release of our newest Sci-Fi mecha, The Variable Payload Raider or the VIPER Suit, as the troops call them. Designed by digital master John Bear Ross, the VIPER has a modular chassis that can be fitted with multiple weapon and construction options.


There are 3 weapon versions in the first release of Vipers. MK.I-Mk. III. Also, for each version, there are 2 poses Standing and Advancing. That way you can pick your weapons and poses!

We also tried something new with these models. The models are entirely composed in resin... Bodies, sprues, everything... Now, why did we do that? A couple of reasons.

One.We wanted to see what would happen and if we could do it :)  Honestly, they look amazing and are really easy to put together. They are pretty durable and we have been very happy so far with them.


Two. Metal has been going up and down alot lately and we wanted to start experimenting with new alternatives. As I have said, we have been looking into this and John, Jeff and myself have been taking notes and will continue to evaluate an all resin "mecha". We also have to look at shipping and a whole host of other things that have popped up.

Three. The price. Right now, each VIPER has a SRP of $6.49. Right now, resin allows us to do this. The Metal Price would have been pushing close to $11... so, we are going to see how this is received.


On another note, The VIPERS are also modular. Most of our HAMR Sprues and other weapons sprues will fit, so even coming out of the gate, the design options are staggering. That is the way John designed them.  We may even have a contest on designs :)

These were all painted by Jeff Racel and see more incredible pictures of the ones Jeff painted here:

Mighty Armies: The Army of Robin Hood

Well, I am excited to announce a new army! I have been bugging David at Splintered Light Minis for a while now to create us a classic Robin Hood Army. Anyone that plays me knows I like a good Shooter Army. Well, here it is! The Army of Robin Hood!



and here are the stats:
General           7       4”     6,2   General, Shooting 2
Tuck                5       3”     3,1   Spellcaster
Archers x4     16      3”     2,2   Shooting 2, Long Range
Rangers x3     12      3”     2,2   Shooting 2, Scout

Woot! Pretty cool huh?
The box also contains an extra unit so you can have Tuck or a 4th ranger or archer but not both. If you drop Tuck, you can add Long Range to the General.

You can get the Army here: http://www.rebelminis.com/

Thanks!

Worldwide shipping now only $6!

Well, with the postal changes this week I have had to raise our shipping charge. I did not want to, but after holding the $5 fee for 4 years, I just could not absorb the costs any more.


So, effective today, worldwide shipping is $6... and I think that is still a great deal! No matter how much you order, it is one low price to ship anywhere in the world! I'll have some new product shots soon!


Thanks!
