hey guys,
found this on t'internet, dont know if it is already posted, but oh well ;D!

I'd say buy soon before the C&D order comes down on them like several tonnes of bricks...
Yep, GW is not gonna like this! Sculpts aren't too bad, that marine-fellow could be the great base for a conversion.
I should think these guys are running quite a long way below GW's radar.
Not too impressed with the Bull Knight, but the not-a-Mordian is very good.

I am impressed enough that I am emailing them an order, these days for a metal cast of what looks to be good quality at that sort of price is a rarity.
The "Bull Marine" however certainly isn't as attractive a purchase in appearance.
EDIT:
Well, that's me ordered 2 "space guard" from them, bit informal to order via email, but the payment is done through PayPal at least. Who knows how long it will take from Hungary mind you.
Let us know how it goes. I'm thinking of bunging some cash at a space guard myself.

I like the guy in the rolling stones t shirt
The Rolling Stones guy might not be as good, as he's 1/35, which is usually a bit on the small side.
to be honest i was quite iffy about buying from these guys and you know what.... i should be slapped for doubting them! the model arrived faster than something i bought off ebay AFTER which was in the UK! fast postage, very friendly and a nice model, ill post a pic up as soon as i find my camera. i strongly recommend!

Don't forget to provide some scale reference...
as i said this is the "space guard" in comparison to a covenant size model and a guardsman, hes slightly taller due to him being completely straight legged and the other two more bent leg, however as we all know people come in different sizes and i think he fits the bill perfectly for a mordian.

Blimey mauler, you work fast.
My order arrived this morning and I would agree on all counts of both speedy delivery, pleasant to email, etc, etc.
I just took some photos of the bits laid out, will upload them in 10mins.
Update:
Photos!
the packaging inside the padded envelope made me raise an eyebrow, these guy(s) are definitely on a home budget

1 of my 2 boxes and the bags within, one for the main body, the other for bits.

There seems to have been a weird packaging error with this box (the other was normal) where I've ended up with an extra left arm, lasgun & pair of shoulder tassels - so I'm not exactly complaining.

Resin quality seems very good as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge, moulding is great and crisp, quite a bit of flash in some places, and at least a small amount on each piece.
As an aside, the left arm pictured above makes me think of wolverine because of the flash extending from all the fingers.
Right. Definitely buying one! And I'll order that Tau from Papah, too, while I'm at it.
Just have to get a few commissions finished first.

Hello Guys!
I'm glad to be here and see our figures. Thanks for the kind words!
;D I smiled a little bit of cardboard packaging, yes I use recyled paper. By the way for me the key to product safety.
Happy painting!
Cheers,

If you're looking for inspiration for future 54mm releases, a Guardsman Marbo-a-like would certainly go down a treat... :)
[EXCOMMUNICATE] I just e-mailed them too.
Thanks for the idea! By the way, here is one of my conversions from our figure. It's a poor ;D commissar. I don't know so good this world, I know this figure is not a best one for a commissar.

Thanks for watching!
You are right, he's missing the things a commissar needs, hat, black coat and sash.
What he has is pots of character, he feels very 40k, even if you say you don't know much about the world and he'd make a perfect senior guardsman. Brigadier maybe or a colonel.
I am severly tempted to buy one of the Marines, looking for a basis to convert a Black Guard Marine with power spear and storm shield and it looks like a good alternative to the existing marine model.
both look fantastic, keep it up!!!!
i'll second RobSkibs suggestion
Thanks for the criticism, I acquainted with this world. ;)
Well we produce a marine. By this I also was stupid, because the equipment was not properly interpreted. I stoped the casting of this, later we will make a better.
By the way, some pictures about my version:

Comments are welcome!
The Converted 'Space Guard' model looks excellent. I agree with Adlan that it doesn't look like a Commissar, but it does make for a rather cool looking Officer. Great sculpting and paint job, and I really like the base.
I'm not too keen on the 'Bull Marine' model, as it looks too much like a Space Marine but not enough like any known variant of power armour. I can't fault your work though, as again it is very well sculpted and painted.
I look forward to seeing more releases from your company.
