"Are Pig Iron head sprues available on their own?" Topic

If so, how much per sprue?

Hi Qar Qarth,
The head srues aren't available separately at the moment but if there's enough demand it could be sorted out.
They would need to sold as a 3 pack or 5 pack (depending on how many sprues can be fitted onto a mould.
What do people think would be a reasonable price?

The sprue should not cost any more than a figure, I would think.

So, a 5-pack should be no more than the cost of a pack of5 figures.

£1.00 GBP maximum each would be more like it.

I know I would be interested. Need some new heads to put on those Warzone plastic figures.

Based on the cost of your figures, about £1.00 GBP a sprue would sound reasonable.

Sorry, is that "3-pack or 5-pack" of sprues? So that a 3-pack would have 30 heads (10 heads per sprue x 3)?

I'd be happy to pay $5 USD USD for a single sprue with 10 heads.

Those heads would sure be usefull,i would pay about 3 quid for ten. im sure you would sell alot. could you not add the heads onto some space of a new mold your doing?

As soon as Simon decides, I will order them.

If the price is reasonable (about a quid for 5 heads) I'd probably buy enough for a 2000 pts IG army.

I'd love to see some of the heavy weapons on sprues, oh yes I would.

Lordblackfang,

The sprue comes with 10 heads and a backpack:

This is the first time I've seen Pig Iron. Those vehicles are fantastic & the infantry are just what I'm after for my 5150 games.

Thanks for the link, Qar Qarth!

Simon,

Have you given any more thought to this idea?

Thanks.

CC

Wow. Does anyone know how do these Eureka capped heads compare to the those from Pig Iron?

Simon,

Any news/decisions since your post from January 7th? Thanks.

Also, I would be very, very interested in a sprue of backpacks.

- Yes, please consider it. I think there would be a demand for them too. Thank you.

This head sprue would be nice too!!!

Fingers crossed.

Simon,

I would pay premium for the head sprue and the weapons if you offered those also, especially if you would consider allowing them to be used with production masters.

I am currently sculpting many many different miniatures and I could really use the scale reference, plus I like them quite a bit.

So if there is any chance of gaining permission for using them for "stock" weapons/heads, I would buy in in bulk. Why bother making a mold if you already have it? Saves me time and money in the long run.

I'd certainly be interested in head sprues. Especially bareheaded. A variety of soft hats can then be added. I've got an idea for the heavy infantry in kefayiah (sp?)

Hyun's about right. $5 USD per sprue (esp. if you could just order one sprue) sounds about right. I don't know how much sales you'd do if the packages were limited to 30 (or even 50) heads.

I mean its nice to have some alternatives when you're putting your force together, but who's going to be swapping heads out on their entire army? Of course I collect at skirmish level (30- figures per side) so I could be way off on this.

Then again, if you do a lot of conversions maybe you'd just like to have a LOT of heads on hand just in case?

You guys are absolutely right, $5 USD for a 10-head sprue would definitely be a bargain!

In retrospect, I have been paying about the same for five-head sprues, though these are completely bare and easier to use in conversions:

Simon, would $5 USD per 10-head sprue be worth it for you?

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

Regarding heads – when I've released the first pack of Kolony rebels I will start to get head sprue master moulds done of all the different heads I've done so far.

People seem keen on them so its worth a go.

400 please.

Go go go Simon, it's July now :-)))

Just finished painting my Kolony pack and am back into Sci-fi again big time. Can't decide whether to go down the road of Off-World or Post-Apocalypse . . .

I'm about to order more Kolony and standard infantry too, but could really use those heads if they are nearly ready yet?

Cheers

Frank

I must have been living under a rock . . .

The sprues are definitely out already!!!
