These look so awesome! Especially painted!

Personal logo MrHarold Sponsoring Member of TMP26 Mar 2014 9:47 p.m. PST

Could I get bigger pictures of just the Mechs?

Baron Trapdoor26 Mar 2014 9:52 p.m. PST

They are coming Mr Harold, expect in the next day or two, via our usual methods/channel :)

For informations sake the Juggernaughts are full metal models, there is approximately 13 parts to each Juggernaught so drilling/pinning and a degree of modelling ability will serve well.

Cheers

I like those a couple of them especially the upper right mecha reminds me of a VOTOM Scopedog.

Gunner Dunbar26 Mar 2014 10:45 p.m. PST

Nice, I like the mechs, good to see a couple of designs.

Stealth100026 Mar 2014 11:12 p.m. PST

Love these mechs. I will be having a few of them My mech force is going to be getting silly big at this rate.

the Juggernaught pilots will follow suit shortly…

(Note that basing grass and effects have been left off of these models as I am yet to decide on a theatre for them.)

Thanks

Love those mechs – so Titanfall. Great idea to have one with an open hatch.

Baron Trapdoor27 Mar 2014 3:34 a.m. PST

Hi David
The hatches come seperate on all the Juggernaughts except the Raptor which is remote piloted and not in need of one. I chose to model one of each with the hatch open just for demonstration purposes.
I too do love Titanfall and I'm amazed I actually managed to get these out in a timely fashion whilst fighting the urge to go a squish some facist IMC spectres or titan punch Sergeant Blisk upside the head.
These 'Juggernaughts' of course bear no resemblance to any such titan, umm droid, err robotic thing, living or dead and any inference to the contrary is purely coincidental…

or is it!

dwartist27 Mar 2014 4:01 a.m. PST

purely coincidental, of course. I've sworn off 15mm again but you fellahs (you know who you are H, J, K et al) keep producing irresistible 'must-haves'.

John Treadaway27 Mar 2014 4:39 a.m. PST

They are really very nice (and I'm not a big fan of stompers). I particularly like the bit with holes in and the open chest hatch.

The figures are really swell as well.

Saw all this on the facebook page very early this morning. The painting is just outstanding!

Pizzagrenadier27 Mar 2014 6:26 a.m. PST

Drop a Juggernaught on it!

Very cool figures. I never thought I would be tempted into 15mm sci fi, but…

Personal logo MrHarold Sponsoring Member of TMP27 Mar 2014 6:33 a.m. PST

Looking forward to ordering these.

Any idea when they might be available?

Twoball Cane27 Mar 2014 7:13 a.m. PST

Hi iron..its ok to be tempted!!! Take the plunge into 15mm. These mech are awesome. Imho 15mm is outpacing 28mm on the coolness factor over the last 2 years…. all the sellers in the scale are pretty amazing given most are 1 man shows. Unlike GW or others.

Im down for several of these. Can u post next to a ruler or other mini we all might recognize for scale….

Thank you for posting so many pics already

Sorry Gents … they look like targets to me … evil grin As do the troops' orange helmets, etc. But they are nicely painted …

Eli Arndt27 Mar 2014 7:40 a.m. PST

Drooling too much to comment further grin

Ooooh. Those are quite nice. I'm dedicated to 28mm, but I'll find some use for 'em.

AVAMANGO27 Mar 2014 8:42 a.m. PST

The Mk2 Spitfire Medium Assualt Juggernaught looks great as i said earlier it looks very VOTOM Scopedog-ish.

Zargon27 Mar 2014 9:54 a.m. PST

Is this stuff compatible to Hammer Slammers universe, love the mechs but really like the troopers and would like them as a build up for
TUs in HS(believe you can use limited TUs for mechs/walkers as well. Any ideas to what faction? Using these great looking sculptures. Cheers

Cacique Caribe27 Mar 2014 10:10 a.m. PST

I love the "squishy" troops and their beards!!! Could definitely work for SF Islamic troops.

Very, very nice.

Jakar Nilson27 Mar 2014 10:28 a.m. PST

The only thing I don't like are the chest plates/hatches. And the one that looks like it has a nice one is actually remote-controlled.

Sergeant Crunch27 Mar 2014 1:05 p.m. PST

These are pertinent to my interests.

Baron Trapdoor27 Mar 2014 3:33 p.m. PST

Thanks for the kind words guys
This range will be to sale in about 2-3 weeks, unless Sergeant Blisk discovers the whereabouts of my underground lair…then who knows?

They too will make their way across to Josh at Zombiesmith later on. He is lending his amazing talents to the creation of some extra 'droppable' assets for this range that will no doubt have me fall flat off my chair with wow factor…again. (really really cant wait for this stuff)

Im sorry I do not have a ruler shot available but fyi the Mk2 Spitfire measures 50mm floor to ceiling, the Tomahawk stands several mm taller and the Raptor being the 'runt of the litter' at about 45mm.

The two larger Juggernaughts come with seperate hatches that can been attached open or shut, these robots really are modellers pieces, the groin, legs, torso, arms, hands, and ancillary pieces are all seperate and very handy for modelling/posing as you see fit.

The beards on the grunts were deliberate :) in keeping with a kinda futuristic conscript look on a cold blasted wasteland world.

@Zargon Im not quite sure the scale compatibility to Hammers Slammers but these scale really well with my Battlefront collection if that helps. Figures are slighter, heads are smaller if you look past the helmets :) but otherwise on par.

Thanks again guys

Kind regards
Anton

These are currently my most favorite sci fi designs out there. I huant tmp/fb purely for more previews. Well done! And I gotta say, as a us buyer, I'm really happy you partnered with zombiesmith!

I really like this stuff! I'll need to get some soon …

Really digging these!

I'm also getting a VOTOMs vibe from the Spitfires. I'd love a set, put them next to my Southern Gears for some Kunmen Jungle Wars.

sleb2228 Mar 2014 11:15 a.m. PST

Very nice!

gozer8728 Mar 2014 12:41 p.m. PST

Nice work! Me want some!

Baron Trapdoor28 Mar 2014 1:48 p.m. PST

Thanks a lot guys. Lots more to come!

We are too GNARGNAR :)
(thats an awesome pseudonym btw, would make a fun alien race name)

GNARGNAR31 Mar 2014 10:33 a.m. PST

Haha yeah altho I feel that the aliens would have to like ride hoverboards and chill out with some native slightly narcotic local flora. Feel free to gank the name for a pet proj or new warfighter race! Fyi the name comes from being raised on tmnt and living in southern california for too long..
