Again, I despair of ever getting all the neat stuff I want from Khursan, Splintered Light, and Rebel. All of which is holding up my orders to GZG and Zombiesmith… |

I should mention that the ion howitzer is shown in the picture sprued to the drone's rocketpack. You just remove it and then position it alongside any of the rocket boosters, as you think looks coolest. Also, Americans may know the German wasp as the "yellowjacket." tinyurl.com/yk5n8fp |

Great, now I'll have to arm my marines (now known as Rilley's Raid-ers) with bug bombs and Black Flag chem sprayers.:) Just one more thing to add to the must have list.;) |

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!The insectoid planet is really building up for its very first world war!!! TMP link Dan CC, I think you just linked back to this same thread! Which makes the link an infinitely recursive loop that we can't break out of, oh sh------….. -Will |

Oh, I should probably mention, awesome minis! A very different take on bugs! I don't know if I could ever bring myself to buy any though- I am allergic to vespids (which Yellowjackets are a member of) and even looking at the pictures is sort of making my skin crawl! ;P -Will |

Master Chef has finally dragged me kicking and screaming into Mutants and Death Ray Guns – I think the Vespulids are perfect for these rules! Cheers

Those look like they will work with the ones Rod Campbell mentioned he was working on some months ago. |

Who makes that website masthead dropship and armored troops? The BOMAG Dropship is now made by Moonfleet: moonfleetminiatures.com The armoured troops are my excellent Laserburn Imperial Troopers: link Cheers

Stay tuned to Dropship Horizon tomorrow for more on the Vespulid models. Also, watch it on Friday as something huge will be revealed there (I mean literally huge).  |

Will,Link corrected. Thanks. Dan No problem, I did get a chuckle when I clicked the link and I though that it had just kicked me back to the top of page- so I scroll down and clicked the link again. Had about 5 tabs opened before I realized what was going on! -Will |

Actually, probably in as little as 3-4 weeks, Leland. Mike has to cast them up and then ship them from Australia. I'd like to get some painted up before I start selling them though, and that would take a few more weeks. But seeing them in all their yellowjackety fineness would really make them eyepopping! |
| Boromirandkermit | 27 Jan 2010 10:56 p.m. PST |
FROM Australia???? No! Leave some here! I need them!!! :P |
| Grabula | 28 Jan 2010 6:53 a.m. PST |
lol, khurasan is killing my pocket book. These guys look fantastic. As with you're other lines wil these guys get expanded with vehicles and so on? HOwever, I'm forved to hold any Vespulid orders "hostage" until I can place my first couple of orca orders :D |
| khurasanminiatures | 28 Jan 2010 7:08 a.m. PST |
Well grab the orcas went off to the casters as soon as I got them, but turnaround is out of my hands now. OTOH the vespulid castings should be in my hands in a few weeks! |
| Grabula | 28 Jan 2010 11:36 a.m. PST |
fantastic! Good stuff all of it, keep it up! |
| khurasanminiatures | 28 Jan 2010 11:59 a.m. PST |
Mark has just updated Dropship Horizon to include a picture of a Vespulid warrior next to a corporate marine soldier. And of course the drone is a lot bigger! |
| the evil morlab | 29 Jan 2010 8:18 a.m. PST |
i wonder … vespulids are wasps and wasps eat bugs. space demons are bugs. would vespulids eat space demons? ;-> |
