The Warmill Thread - New year, new range

[Warmill]

And what sort of business deals with fiberglass cow heads?

This kind.

Yeah that would be including the tower, weight wise I reckon it'd be a little over 2kg as a packaged product, so shipping would be about the same as for a Battlesnap fortress. Of course that's a guess based on the number of sheets it took to make the prototype!

Now i'm hungry

[valthonis]

I'm hungry too!

I'm still very tempted, can you provide some general measurements or show the base on a 4x4 table on it's own?

I might be able to help a bit. The landing pad itself is 12" from edge to edge, this shot shows it next to a SIR crate and sections of the compound fence and you can see 40mm based aragoto to the top right of the pad. I would estimate the whole footprint is a little under 24" long and 20" wide as seen in this pic.

[Valiant]

I'd suggest making the tower and landing pad separate kits that can be sold together for a discount, i'd imagine alot of people would be after just the pad, or tower, as well as those after the combo.

[Warmill]

^^ Not a bad idea that.

[kidterminal]

I agree with David. Two separate pieces will sell much better than the one giant kit.

[Maine]

I'll throw my 2 cents in and say agreed, I'd get the tower, but not interested in the landing pad.

[Mob of Blondes]

we make 10 fibreglass cow heads

11, you need one to make a table with the left overs of a gigant sculpture.

when you click on the pic and open the url you can actually rotate the picture...

[kidterminal]

Very impressive.

[valthonis]

I just might have to pick up some of those fences, nice stuff. But I'm really curious about the Satlink. Any ETA of when it will be available in the store?

[Warmill]

Shortly after RPC in Cologne this weekend, along with the Surgery Shack and the other bits. Then we might actually get some new stuff done!

[Pacific]

Very, very impressive!

Also, please add me as a +1 for the control tower for the landing pad!

[Maine]

What ever happened to the plans for cheaper US shipping? Is that still going to happen?

[Knightpiper]

The colony buildings look nice, but wallet says stop making cool stuff he(me) can not afford!

[Warmill]

Hey all, after a lengthy absence of doing absolutely nothing wargames related (apart from dragging ourselves around a series of shows), we've found some time to play with toys again! The Wasteation, Sat-link and Surgery Shack will be officially released on Monday 26th now we actually have some time to make the stupid things (although some retailers have snuck some in early ), and Ed is bracing himself to start painting a vast pile of MULE bits now production files have been done. We hope to have some for sale at Colours next month, as they only need instructions and painted sets for boxart. The initial range will consist of:
Central unit
basic Hab
large Office
Walkway tunnel
External Lift
Helipad (redesigned from the last set of images)
Optional roof toppers

Apart from that, I've been revisiting a prototype building set from several months ago (it got as far as a few construction tests) that was never shown, but now we have stage 1 colonies with the PUPs, and will soon have stage 2 colonies with the MULE, it seemed only right that we have a glamourous stage 3 building set (to be named once I come up with an animal-themed acronym). Not much to say about it yet apart from it's a very flexible design, and makes all sorts of crazy shapes.

Don't worry, we're calculating pricing right now and so far they're coming out as pleasantly affordable

What ever happened to the plans for cheaper US shipping? Is that still going to happen?

Yip, non-EU shipping will be about 25% cheaper to coincide with the new stuff release next week.

[Arachas]

Man, I love those fences and watch towers. As well as the highway. Awesome!

Yeah the security compound was Ed's first product way back when, and stupidly useful they are too. I always miss them most when I forget to take them down the club, but we might retire the range soon as the moulds are nearing replacement time and we haven't sold enough of them recently to warrant making new ones. Might just paint up the stock we have and put them on ebay or something.

[Arachas]

Don't paint them up and make me a good offer instead. I have 4-5 guys on my group, we can use some extra terrain!

[Hunter2k3]

Finally the MULE is in sight!

I've been waiting for months now

Yeah sorry about that. Sooooooonnnnnn.....

I'll hit you up after Colours with whatever we've got left

[Maine]

How much longer will there be free shipping on the Escape from Sector 9 bundles?

I'm finally selling my Skaven army this weekend for a good chunk of change, and have been eyeing one of those bundles... I'm also interested in some other models, but I've been waiting for the cheaper shipping.

Also, is there currently much of a delay on shipping orders due to how busy things have been?

No plans to drop the free shipping, with the Sector 9 sets it can take about a week to get a big set made due to the way our production sheets are set up and the sheer amount of them that need cutting, allowing for getting other stuff cut in between.

Awesome, sounds like a plan!

Ed spent last night reminding himself how to weather on some skips he modelled.

The security compound is pretty nice, and has been on my list of things to buy. I've just been waiting for the shipping costs to come down to justify it... I bet there are others who are in the same boat as me.

[alphz]

I'm like Maine too!!!

I've been waiting for the surgery shack and was hoping to order the security compound along with it. But if you guys take that off before the shack is avail I will definitely sadface

postage to NZ is probably a ravaging in the making too, but if I could get a bunch of stuff that would be

[Warmill]

Well Surgery Shack will be available later today once I've updated the postage settings and sorted out some other bits and bobs, so you'll be able to get a security compound as well.
