An assorted trio of bits n bobs from my undersized and overburdened desk this week:



Hero basing pack four - wooden crates



Latest addition to our egyptian tomb ruins range - weatherworn falcon statue



And last but not least, DS-style cavalry base (30mm by 60mm). Textured varieties coming soon, along with a larger 40 x 80mm equivalent size for bigger mounts/monsters.

I like the cavalry bases... thats what Heresy should have been doing in plastic.

Mind you not many mounted figures in warmachine.

I also like the crates.

I like the look of the gun that mini is holding on to.

do you know if you can get the gun on its own at all.
I am not just a dog I am a Doberman.

The gun in question is a H&K G36-C. The mini's from Eureka, but they don't sell their weapons separately. It's a fairly standard modern weapon, though, so may be available elsewhere...

*adds separate weapons packs to to-do list*  :icon_wink:

Yeah,I'm working on some at the moment :) Our plastics supplier has come up with an embossed styrene (plasticard) sheet that's a dead ringer for tarmac when drybrushed, making life a lot easier .....

I'm working on laser cut acrylic manholes and gratings, some included separately so they can be modelled open or closed. I'm guessing our existing 30mm DS toppers at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180179203149&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=008 are a bit too "urban" for what you're after, right?

From the picture there are about 3 I could use for gaming, the others are better for display, or I can't make out what they are.

I'm not that keen on "toppers" for gaming either, the GW thick bases already look like people are standing on a mini stage plinth, the extra thickness of toppers makes this worse.

I thought most of what you had done was like the one with the lamp post, great for a battle ground but just too shattered looking for what I am after.... think zombies... urban modern rather than bomb blasted rubble.

these look more like what I am after
