Damn you Sir! These look amazing!!

I now know how to get missing arms for my Lil Eldar Titans.

The platforms look big...maybe we could make stats for them as an Artillery formation in a variant list instead of just support platforms???

Yeah, they are a bit big. Relatively speaking, though, they are as much bigger than the current platform models as the vibrocannon was compared to the lascannon platform from the SM/TL days. (did everyone understand that sentence?)

Also, I will never again complain about GWs scale creep.

Those are immense! Really fantastic work and nice to see them come into existence. The support guns are my favourite, just very clean and really nice looking result.

Oh, and the titan guns are lovely too :)

Wow, I really like the bigger guns (Spinner, Vibro and D)! Very nice indeed! I think the Shur-I-Can needs to be a little chunkier in the last pic though.

Will these be... ah, available? :P

They look lovely and well designed but the support weapons all look very oversized which would put me off them unless better sized ones were done. Is the sizing deliberate or did they just end up that way by mistake? I’d leave the shure-I-can as is, it looks good that size IMO. No need to equal the GW epic one which looks ugly oversized - compare it to the shure-I-can on the newerish superheavies and the difference is huge.

I am desiring Sonics :)

On size and stuff:

These pictures should help explain the sizes.

small scale ratio is roughly 1 : 1.625
large scale ratio is roughly 1 : 1.75

That tells me that my part is actually a bit smaller than it ought to be. Of course, it is really a competition between proper scaling and what looks right.

And here is a picture showing how I plan on using them. I don't think they look so bad even if they are a bit big. I'll definitely be able to tell which is which on the table top.

Stunning....really good modelling work. I think 1:1:1 would be fine.

I also think there should be rules for the three supp Plattforms, the idea to make a Artillery formation of its own right ist totally supported by me!

Just an update for everyone, I received word that the reprinted tank cannon and upsized sure-i-can are in the mail. I post pictures when I get them, then send them on to Otterman.

Great news - looking forward to seeing how these have panned out. Bet you can't wait to see them yourself?!

Great work – I like the style a great deal. How're the Wobblecannon arms coming on?
