New stuff for Weird Wars - (15/07/2019) Heer 46 E-100 Kickstarter live

[Rich H]

I'm in Lancashire
I offered Warlord some of my masters - apparently  interested but never took me up on them.

Then they approached me to master a Locust said they would get back to me....  I built the hull on spec but heard nothing since so I gave up on them. 

I build for Jeff at the moment but I'm mercenary...

[Wyrmalla]

OK, not for sale, but Claymore's started another Weird War German vehicle:





Um, just an FYI. ...I may have already bought my own Puma. 

[Rich H]

Looks good!

Sorry to hear about those Warlord problems :\ That isn't a good way to work.

I get the impression, possibly unfairly, that the front of house and the studio aren't particularly joined up.  I've had loads of enthusiasm from the FoH and sevetal free bits and pieces but not even a:

Dear Rich H, get stuffed , love the Studio

But hey I'm mercenary!

If you want something building let me know and we can discuss.  Just remember I do this in my spare time so timescales are variable!

Hmmm, now that you mention it, maybe I have. I'll drop you a PM when I leave work (a little bit after midnight )

CG/WG have just put up the renders for their first PTO mini, an IJA man in heavy armour;

[supervike]

Oh, those are grand!

[Ballardian]

WG/CG have released another render of a unit for K47, a robotic support unit for the Brits - I have to admit that this is one of their sculpts I'm not really convinced by (I prefer the numerous conversions based on universal carriers) - but it's mini I'm not fond of rather than the concept of more automated units - any thoughts?

[Rich H]

Other than the head it has nothing to tie it to the brits k47 units and nothing to tie it to real units apart from the tin hat! 

Use an existing outdated hull and gun:  Crusader, Valentine or Matilda perhaps?  Add an iconic gun like a 2pdr, 25pdr, 6pdr or 75mm perhaps?

The galahads were plausible - iconic guns and nice sculpts but these things are just random which is a great shame.

[Wyrmalla]

Warlord are making a Maus to come out alongside the Battle of the Bulge book.



Just need to see what the price is like and how it compares to what's already on the market.

...I'm totally buying one. I'd be in for the Winter Germans alone, but even though I don't *need* (bah!) a Maus, well... Hmn, I suppose it could do for an E-100 too.

Course, it could always be a fake.

Looks like we could be due an infestation of mice, between the Blitzkreig, Heer46, JTFM & now WG (if they can get it sub £50 - the price of the Blitzkreig one - they could have a winner - I did notice that the co-axial 75mm appears to bo the wrong side though - could be explainable if the mantlet is a seperate piece - it's not on the Blitzkreig one - & put on the wrong way up).
 In other news WestWind have teased a pic of one of their new mechs (a German one). I wasn't sure about it when I saw the concept art, but in the flesh it looks good if a little Macross-y (big suit holding a gun rather than it bein built in).

I really like it.
The gun concept is a change over the norm for the "period." Anyou mention of the calibre of that canon?
Only peeve I have at the moment is the feet. Seem too "stubby" for me. Need to be a bit longErie, for dupport.

Merry Christmas to all!
Grimmnar, I think the feet might have some additional pieces not in the picture, there's a notch under the semi circular piece on the foot's side & a gap ap the front that seems to imply something goes there. As to the gun's size, I imagine it'll count as heavy AT in Secrets.
