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.

[precinctomega]

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

[MarcoSkoll]

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!

[MarcoSkoll]

I'll post a pic up as soon as I find my camera.

Don't forget to provide some scale reference...

[mauler19]

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.


size comparison of main body piece against GW techpreist - those are 1" squares on the cutting mat.



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.

[precinctomega]

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!
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!

If you're looking for inspiration for future 54mm releases, a Guardsman Marbo-a-like would certainly go down a treat...
