Seeing Traitor Novans using German alike stuff would be nice, though I would like any traitorish/chaos things to be easily removable. I mean spikes and stuff, so i can cut them and transfor the vehicle into it untraitor form.
That's kind of the plan.
I was working on some
Traitor versions of the Novan Regulars' vehicles, but they don't feel fully right to me anymore. I will probably crawl back to the drawing table to redo those and then design some new ones that are more influenced by WWII German designs, which is kinda the vibe I always got from that traitor army that worships that god of war, something with a pact of blood or something?

I'm a little bit disappointed from the Designs from the most manufacturers here in the forum. I know many guys here from the country who are want the anglo-british designs. Their are all looking very WW1 british tanks. A Leman Russ or proxies to buy is no problem to buy and not on high demand for me.
Hmm, fair enough. However, the
Apocalypse tank I designed was more influenced by Soviet design rather than WWII British tanks. There will be a light tank added to the range as well, will probably look more at Soviet tanks for that one as well.

Aircraft, why not Focke Wulf, Messerschmitt etc.
It's funny you should mention German WWII aircraft. I've been wanting to do some more variants for the Skinnerz' aircraft based on German WII fighters/bombers. As for the Novan Regulars' fighters, they are indeed more British based. My aircraft designs for the Novans will be a lot blockier, more akin to the
Javelin fighter I've already done.

I know your feeling. I also really like German designs and would love to see dieselpunkish German vehicles. There are a lot of great concept arts and endless possibilties.
One little dream I have is to do a range of walker tanks, but for the Novans as well as their traitor counterparts. They'd be very much influenced by the walker tanks from games like DUST and Gear Krieg, but of course maintaining part of the aesthetic I've already included in my tanks for the Novans.

Thanks for explanation. I understand that it wont be worth it to make a model just for a few customers. Unfortunately everything is about the money.
The financial part is sadly enough something we can't live without. If models don't sell enough they'd be too expensive to produce. The company would then run at a loss which would prevent other stuff from being made. There are of course grey areas in this, but the 6mm market isn't that big, so you're somewhat limited in what you can do. Unless we all manage to greatly expand the 6mm gaming community of course...

Although this place is to discuss about new designs and inspirations so it is great that you can have contact with customers.
That's why we're sharing our work in progress in places like this.

There is also another thing. I know you want an all proxy range so vehicles have to look recognizable, but maybe sometimes it would be nice to great something different.
There are some plans and ideas to expand, but it is of course a big risk to take, especially in a market that's already quite niche. So any new ventures are determined by how well/bad the previous stuff has been doing, yay...capitalism!
