Im after some new ideas for weapon sprues on the store and suddenly have some free time creeping into my life now! :D Put two and two together and we have a 28mm scale blacksmith!
So where do you guys come in? OK, if you have ideas of handheld weapons you want - swords, laser guns, axes, power maces, electro flails, rocket launchers etc etc - post here with ideas, description and a picture or two linked (or homebrew drawing if your handy with the pencil). Ill pick the best few and make some conversion packs for your minis.
What do you get?
Asides from having your ideas made as resin accessories? You get a master cast resin set posted out to you and you get to name the weapons ;D
Why not some Fallout 3 or Mass Effect inspired weapons? :P
How about some Steam-punk weapons?
I'm tempted to ask about the boltgun/pistol my Inquisitor carries.
Whilst I have your attention, I suggest you write something unique for "The Major" as she currently has the same info as "Mae-Anetta" :P
Yeah, a Fatman is essential. Borderlands/Borderlands 2 is also a wealth of ideas.

Whoops thanks. Fixed :P
Seems post apoc and steampunk weapons are saught after. Something i hadnt really considered before. Talking about video game weapons - now i want to make a portal gun! lol
Fatman is on the cards ;)
Did Chris some sheilds. Still needs cleanup but there are the masters :D Excuse the warped sprue >.>

Remember a random conversation from... 6 months ago? I want those, they're perfect, I'll be ordering a bunch when they're in your store :P
Also; I'm not sure how easy this would be to do, or if you even still have the design, but your chainswords work perfect with a longer haft to make a chainglaive, so... just an idea.
Also have some other sheilds coming out soon too ;) Which are pretty unique and im very pleased with :D Will post when instore
Ooo chaingalives, consider it done!

And deraj's chainglaive with optional shooty attachment :P

I have a request that relates to a pre-existing product. 25mm, 40mm, and 25x70mm bike/cavalry bases, based in this base: http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/#!__zealot-store/mech-industrial-base-80mm, or maybe sthose bases, but with Kadesh theme?
I ask, because for those "Kadesh Marines" need bases, and I don't want a base that looks like sand an rocks :P
Any word on when those shields will be ready mate?
Today sir ;)
http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk/shop.php#!/~/product/category=6272033&id=27455504
Will stock with more casts tomorrow :D
Magic! I shall be purchasing some those within the week I hope! Not been in work for the last 4 weeks, so funds are low. But will get on there!
Here's a fairly niche idea - 2S logo shoulder pads which happen to be the size of either IG carapace armour pads or SM shoulder pads.
Or, indeed, shoulder shields that happen to fit on a Fire Warrior.
Yeah if you made the 2S Sept icon for Firewarriors I would definitely order a set.
"Blacksmith."
How much would it set me back to get a custom job done of forty warhammer heads that would be almost identical to the warhammer head design that Games Workshop did for their Sigmarite models, with the important difference that I'd like the symbol of the twin-tailed comet traveling towards the big end which is supposed to hit the enemy on the head.
I've got a few models that need to be inducted into my warband. ;D

For you, Paradox, £10 to design them and £10 to print a master sprue. Makes sense for a twin TAILED comet to have the tail on the back i guess :P

2S Shoulder pads for both IG and SM (not the same of course ;)) and by Shoulder Shields they mean like these: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440293a&prodId=prod1990146a

You're talking shop jargon to me, Thantos. How much is it going to cost? Is that £20 for the 40 hammers? Or do I have to go and do something with the master sprue afterwards to get the number of hammers I need?

Sorry mate, in plain english ;) - £20 and the end result is ill sort 40 hammerhead casts for you (+2 quid or something postage) Let me know the diameter of the current hammers shaft and ill make a hole in them that you can just clip off the old hammer head and plug the haft into these heads.
Or the shoulder pads that you find on every space marine sprue of course. (Such as these (http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/baal-predator-pilot-shoulder-pads-p-5834.html).
I can't seem to find the IG pads on the bits store above so they might not be so popular. :P
Thanks Sorck ;D And whatever happened to the 2S Rosen knights eh?
Some more previews for you sirs. Some folks have asked fro a heroquest style fallen rock - 1 inch footprint.
Just have to sharpen a few details add a few cracks to that.

Nice defensive turrets :P With your pick of gun
Any update on those XV25s? :)
Not for want of trying ::) Im just waiting for a load of additive cure clear resin to come in then they will be sorted. Half the moulds are made and just waiting a pouring.
Now i just have to figure out what i can use 1 liter of clear resin on which requires a 1 part mould... clear bases? meh
I'd make clear bases to go with the suits. Also some detail peices could look good if they were clear. The head of a thunder hammer for example., like it could glow from inside, or a layer of a Storm Shield. Or even a n energy shield for a Crisis Suit/Riptide. The resin playing the part of part of the energy field itself. If you could make it look fluid enough to be an expanding barrier of energy that could be mounted behind the actual shield bit it would look awesome.
I suspect a bit tricky to accomplish though.
Loving the site but couldn't find a p+p figure If you could do an eldar defence line that would sell pretty well. May pick stuff up in new year but under an embargo from the mrs till I get stuff painted lol.

P&P is calculated once you input your address ands country, and can actually be calculated for individual models. depending on the size of the model it seems to be between £2-£6 per model/kit for within the UK. Though I haven't looked at the price for any of the bigger models and kits.
Nice one mate. I in Bradford for my sins but deff liking some of the minis may speak to the club and get a bulk order in.
Any progress with those stealth suits? :)

My resin supplier keeps messing me around with this additive cure clear mix... ive been promised it many times in the post, but its looking like the new year now :shifty: Thanks for your patience Jayne, you will get an awesome stealth team eventually :P
Yep, Narric is right Silver - all postage calculated on checkout - anywhere in the UK is the same. Defense lines you say hmmm...
A couple of my guys been bitching about only imperial lines as I usually know stuff (apparently) they came to me. I know there was a kickstarter but very expensive. But if you could do nids with January release and Eldar as everybody got the cheese should do well. Depending on cost I would get one or two.

Big updates on the store. Like all good tyranids, im assimilating new genetic material... or starting to act as a stockist for some small and relatively unknown miniature brands.
Im hand picking the range so it hits the kind of market zealot is already aiming at, and hopefully the new minis will be something new that people wont have seen before, like the Void Navigator above ;D
Very nice. I wish I had money :P
If you let me know when you have them up I will post at my club.
I wish you had money too AF ;)
Thanks Silver, i hope to have more updates with the other companies who are onboard when they officially sign on the dotted line :P Ill keep yal' posted.
Maybe I'll set something aside for a birthday present for myself. You can ship to the U.S. correct?
Yep international shipping is no problem, write a note in the order details and ill see if i cant find some sort of birthday extra for ya too :P
Hey Thantos, did you know that "Kadesh" is a place in the Syrian Arab Republic? :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadesh
Not sure what you want to make of it, but the connection to Egypt and the Hittite might be useful material for later models/fluff.
Or you could get in trouble with a foreign nation :P
Or more likely you'll get in trouble with another Wargames company due to their being a Historical Army set based on it, I think. Just kinda going by images on Google and info on Wikipedia :P
Yea ;) its also a race in homeworld :P
Its like "Americans" or "Cubans". "Kadesh" places aren't copyrighted (i damn well hope!)
Big store update today with full range of metal gubbinz like the navigator, axes, conversion bits, admech-like stuff, lampposts. Well here are some pics.

Oooh, tiberium!
Now to house rule C&C armies into 40K...

Nice Naser, spread the word ;)
Will be masses more releases filtering into the shop today and next week.
Now we are relatively well established with our own brand and miniatures, I thought it was TIME!
Time for all those cool conversion parts ive seen over the years produced by obscure mini makers, that the average hobbyist didnt know existed; im in talks with a lot of them to stock their stuff all in one place on Zealot. Sold at a discount from the RRP of course ;D

Why not start at the begining of the full story? :P
Hey, Thantos.
If you're still doing custom weapon ideas then I've got one for you that I hope you might be interested in.
Essentially, you'd be looking at a weapon around the size, bulk, and shape of a GW Space Marine/Sisters of Battle/Chaos Space Marine Heavy Bolter, and held in a similar fashion. It would have a meltagun-esque barrel with a chainblade mounted immediately underneath it. The idea is that the weapon uses a fusion of melta technology and the same technology that Chainfists use to envelop cutting blades in power fields; it's a heavy duty cutting tool for use in ship boarding actions to slice through bulkheads and armoured walls.
I've attached a rough mock-up of how I envision it, thanks to the wonderful world of MS Paint... :shifty:
Also, how's work coming on those chain-glaives? I notice that they're not actually in the store, yet.
Zealot Chainglaive
I made this with a zealot chainsword (they're awesomely useful) and a khorne berserker chainaxe. (Sorry for the poor lighting)

Ahh yea I need to sort those glaives and saws out. Ill get around to that this month with luck.
Looking good Deraj, always good to see pics of what the minis have been used for :D
I like the cutter idea MT, would it be carried our mounted on a walker of vehicle?
Quote from: Thantos on January 07, 2014, 04:59:32 PM
I like the cutter idea MT, would it be carried our mounted on a walker of vehicle?
Looks like a "standard" one could be carried, and easily scaled up for a Walker variant.
I wonder what a M2 Assault Droid would look likewith such a weapon system *nudge nudge*
Ha, yea really wanna do another gun variant after seeing this guys conversion :P
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s596/Christopher_Ihan_Choy/IMG_1532_zpsf94a3c1c.jpg)
If I get round to buying one, I'd probably do something similar with the Minigun you sell :P
Quote from: Thantos on January 07, 2014, 04:59:32 PMI like the cutter idea MT, would it be carried our mounted on a walker of vehicle?
It's supposed to be handheld, in two hands, by Space Marines, like a big chainsaw. It's supposed to represent specialised equipment, specifically for boarding actions, rather than the all-purpose meltagun. The idea is that it uses a melta-beam to superheat the bulkhead (or other target), then use the field-protected cutting blade to slice through it. I see no reason why they couldn't be mounted on vehicles or scaled up, though.
I'm actually going to be converting some up, out of CSM Heavy Bolters, meltaguns, and chainswords, for my Space Wolves army (based around boarding actions; in game terms they'll be meltaguns).
Marines certainly need more stuff for boarding actions, FW do some good boarding marines last time i looked too :D
FWs boarding action weapon look more alien :P
[edit]
Hey Thantos, just out of curiosity, how challenging would it be to convert a M2 Assault Droid into something a-kin to a Maulerfiend? :shifty:
How have I only just noticed this!!! The warrior priest you do is FREAKING AWESOME!!
Now to find a way to get him in my army.....

I have that model and... the pictures don't do it justice. It has amazing details and is really easy to paint up with a simple drybrushing or line highlighting to make look absolutely nuts. Unfortunately his pose made him look perfect for a statue of a priest, so I painted him as an objective marker.

Oo so youd want 4 legged? The legs are very flexible so that part of things would be a breeze, just kitbashing some sort of body which would take some work. Id imagine the 4 legged varient would look a bit like an AT-AT :P

BONUS MEGA PRIZES! :P Talk to me first before setting the diorama contest up and ill see if i cant put a goodie bag together for the winner, since im starting to develop a lot of terrain on the site now :D
That said! - Citizens, visit the store, another massive update has come crashing in at www.zealotminiatures.co.uk (http://www.zealotminiatures.co.uk) ;) Building some partnerships with others stores to sell their stuff for them.
I think I'll buy some Icarus Hovercraft to us as Rhinos :P
Thantos, do you have any pictures of the "MKI 'Ikarus' Mobile Hovercraft APC" next to an object I'd know the size of? Whether that be a tape measure, £5 note or something else I'm not too fussed. I'd just like to know the size. :P Is it just Rhino MK2 APC sized?
Cheaper than a Rhino, indeed the same size as a Rhino, and twice as airborne! :P Im using one for my jump pack marines army, makes sense for the rhino to be jump pack mounted too!
If you would like more than we have currently stocked, let me know and i will get on it :)
Ah that certainly sounds good. It would make a nice fast transport for my Blood Angels, or for my IG Company Command Squad (or maybe just for Yarrick ;D)
How many pieces is it in?
Ignore that... I found a picture of the pieces. What sort of size flight base might it need? Is it light enough to mount on a 2mm or so acrylic stem? (similar to a GW skimmer flight base) Or do I need something a bit more industrial like an MDF base and 5mm acrylic stem?
Would you be interested in doing zone mortalis walls and doors? Also; I hadn't seen the fantasy buildings before now and they're already out of stock, any thoughts on when there'd be more? Somehow over the last month your store became overwhelming with choices :P
Probably going to need a larger flying stand, Valkyrie style or something. Or sturdy metal rod / mdf painted black.
The zone mortalis is like a big space hulk scenery set? Would be cool to do something like that, will likely get onto it when i get designing again proper!
Thanks Deraj, should have a big restock of everything over this weekend :D Been getting more mechanicus style parts in lately, so need to get the word out among the cog-head communities now :P

I noticed the mech parts. I've been eying a few of them as an iron warriors player :P You're making it really hard to focus on fantasy like I'm supposed to be doing...
Hmm could cast big parts like that with marble additive maybe... would make it have a marble effect and weight like 50% stone. Also greater impact resistance if you drop a part.
Heh should be getting some more mechanicus style stuff stocked in a bit too. Servitor underling chaps below. May be good for marine serfs too actually.
Any word on the 25s?
Gah thanks for reminding me lol, very useless apologies. Will do a couple more sprues tomorrow and send you first installment of clear sprues after the weekend. :)
Awesome. Really looking forward to playing a few games with them.
Pm me your shipping address mate n ill get some samples out :P

Ha ive been sitting on the prototyped masters of that guy for like 2 years now. Hes about the size of your fist. Guess i forgot about him :P
Where did you find that? lol
Did him for as a futuristic robotic submarine drone. Was thinking WALL-E underwater
I'm on your LinkedIn :P
I assume the Motorbike model is the one you never made a rider for? Remove a few layers of armour, and you could use the "Pilot Girl" model :P
Ha you should be a private investigator :P
Yea, was thinking of sculpting it in epoxy (apart from the helmet) when i get the time. Likely this summer when uni over :D
Duno if should go for a female rider with big biker boots, light sci fi armour and helmet. Or scifi male trooper based on WWII bikers.
At the moment, the riderless bike is available from a client's store who i sold the rights to produce it to. 15 quid though from them.
Pilot girl i sold unfortunately, so cant use any parts of that :/

Looks great Chris ;D Cool to see the parts in action!
Compared to how many go out the door, its surprising how few examples of peoples completed minis I see or get sent :derp:
For your home brew chapter too?
Yus indeedy...
Unfortunately i found the helmet plumes a little too big at the back to go on straight with either the jump pack or normal back pack. They'll have to be saved for just the sergeants who can have a turny head...
Great stuff though mate! Keep going with them!
Hey Thantos, do you or anyone you know stock post-modern style scifi soldiers? I'm thinking like the ODSTs from Halo, to look like advanced, well equipped humans for my Tau. Really been struggling to find just the right models.
I know a couple places myself.
Mad Robot Miniatures (http://madrobotminiatures.com/) do a large range of IG suitable conversion parts.
Puppets War (http://puppetswar.com/) also have a pretty cool and Sci-fi-y unit of Humans.
I've also seen a few conversion guides floating around that'll allow you to use normal Lasguns to make cool weapons.
Ahhh, PuppetsWar! I remember stumbling across their Dragonfly and couldn't find it again. I definitely want one as a Valkyrie counts-as in the future. (The ultimate destiny of my Gue'vesa is to become a Guard force of their own when the new 'dex drops.)
Those rotor Jump Packs are excellent, and once I find the right armour/weapons, I'll be buying and building these straight away. Thanks, Narric!

Or these from mantic perhaps?

Rej got a couple of your bots not long ago and he's painted them and been playing them in his admech army ever since. Have you seen them yet? Here's a picture of one taking on another friend's riptide (which it duly chewed up in close combat):

Ha awesome, havent seen those before :P Who won that standoff? Never knew Rej ordered.
If you place an order, mention your 2S username and ill see if i can find some extra bitz to add in for you ;)
Hmmm...on the fence about those Mantic miniatures. Don't really like the studded leather boots, or the face plate. On the other hand, the armour is cool, though I don't think the weapon would suit.
Man, I'm fussy...
Not hard to take the studs off.
I just don't like the style. I've settled for the Puppet Wars Troopers, with the Rotor Blades. :)
Anyone for Primarchs?
Partnered up with Kabuki ;D

If that was supposed to be Spoiler tags, it didn't work :P
So... I ordered from zealot last monday, the models already arrived this monday, which is awesome. The quality of the models was amazing, no bubbles, warping, or imperfections.
I painted this one last night
I need to figure out the windows a little better.

And here's one with the running guy from the giant box for size comparison:

There are a few areas I need to do some touching up on the paint, but I really like the model.
Wow that was fast, quickest assembly of a cottage ever! :P Lovely paint job, is it part of your battlefield terrain?
If i has space for a board, id have made a hamlet with some buildings .. next year new house maybe! xD
I'm not sure where it's going, it could be for my personal mordheim/fantasy table, but I may put it on a base to bring it to my LGS. (That's the only problem I could see having with it, it seems like it'd be fragile for transportation, but that's easily fixed.)
I'm having some trouble deciding what to do with the windows, because... windows look black to me. I think I'm going to want a few more of these and some of the other buildings you have at some point just because I liked this one so much.
Also; trust me, that wasn't quick. All in all I think it took me about 7 hours, 5 hours of that were from 10pm to 3am, I was just so excited about it that I powered through.
Any chance of some Spartan (think 300) style helmets which might fit the helmet plumes you've already done and conviently look right on a Space Marines body?
I'm thinking of how ton make some sternguard vets now i've got the vanguard sorted...

Good for undead, heroquest, dnd or aesthetic value! ;)
Not to mention orbs and robes are both great to practice blending effects :P
I say he'd make a unique Traitor Primaris Psyker :P
Sweet stuff. Whenever I look at this thread you always have something that makes me want to start painting again.
Hopefully this summer!
- Will
Yea and for a OSL glowy orb Deraj :P Will be trying that myself and thinking of doing a hooded variant, so may work well for that primaris psyker then narric :D
Thanks Will, mission accomplished then! ;)

At least two or three stole from me lol

If we get to 150/200 shares will there be extra chances to win? :P
I really like that APC.
That APC is cool.
Ooooh. How much for the APC? I'm tempted, given its a much nicer design than the Rhino.
Yea nice idea Narric, ill post that will add another one to give away soon :)
£17.99 CG, cheaper than a rhino
also comes in hover flavour! ;)

You know, I dunno if it's just cos of the screenshots, but put a dark colour scheme on those guys and you'd have some sexy Dark Eldar.
Wow Zealot has moved on a lot since I last looked in on you, nice work. :)
Zealot is also a world leader at invisible stuff. You'll never see it coming.
I know I'm a little late to the party but would it be possible to get some female heads with hair? Been looking all over for them but I just can't seem to find them!
@ CG - Yea now you mention it, have some similarities! Just big dark eldar, very big :P
@ Jonagon - Thanks man, come a long way since jetbikes and powerfists :D
@ Jayne - Though that was about postage times at first, before i got the reference lol xD
@SILK - Female human heads with hair? Just civilian, or military?
Im thinking along the lines of sci fi space nun stuff :P
Ahh with the old 1960s bob haircut :P ? Could have a go at something like that, already have stuff from TUB like fleur de lys icons, iron halos and light power axes for the old nuns.
I have a female face sculpt i did before, but i think it needs to be stronger (facial bones etc) to work well as a female mini.

Ooo afraid not Chris, sorry. Pester me in the last week of June, uni over and ill do them then ;)
Same for space nun heads, its crazy busy and a load of kickstarter projects want me to do resins for them ("How many units do you want?" "Anything between 100 - 5000 we guess, depends how the kickstarter does" - Plan for that!!) O_o
That's all good buddy!
Glad to hear things are picking up!
Sweet! Now one more favour: Can you seen me a green stuff version? I want to use these in official GW stuff (not armies on parade or stuff like that, just tournies) and if someone in a red shirt asks I wanna whip out an unpaited version :P
Or if you give me any old excuse to use, thats cool too.
Anyone else asks I'll point them in your direction :D
Dont touch greenstuff often :/ Messy on my pretty eldar hands :P
Do make sci fi shileds though :D
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e146/Eddievedda/futureshield2_zpsd426b79e.png)
Was going to do some more future alien stuff, battlesuits, upgrade packs etc etc. Female kadesh need more minis for them too!
Will have time to get onto this in a couple of weeks
If that is crisis compatible I just might be interested.
Of course I might also be interested in a smaller version of the Riptide shield for a crisis suit.
Yup its about crisis size :P
Shut up and take my money!
I have to say that I'm really impressed by those Fantasy buildings from earlier in the topic. It's a shame that I don't play any more, and that I don't have any spare cash, otherwise I'd snap a whole load of those up without hesitation.
Well you've been busy. All the stuff looks great, your skills are defiantly improving. Next time I need a new unit I'll check out your store.
My my, you have been busy since I last saw. Some really awesome stuff there!

They'd be good for that as well, based on my limited knowledge of that game. Now you've made me want to read the rules for Mordheim :D!
Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this topic for further developments.
Have I mentioned Mad Robot Miniatures to you Thantos?
http://www.madrobotminiatures.com/zencart/
Plenty of bits to add to the store, along with some 54mm and 15mm scale pieces. The full squads are a little trickier, as they include options at purchase, rather then in the kit. Unless you bought bulk of the Special weapons to include in the kit anyway :P

Epic is my specialist game. I was playing that when it used to be GW's third core game. I've never really branched out into the others, but I have plans to. Speaking of Epic, there's a terrain thought for you, possibly ;).
Epic scale buildings hmm. Will do a few bits n see how the go down :D

Can do some sci fi female troopers if you like. What bits are you after? Heads, bodies?
Heads mainly, but bodies and arms/legs would also be appreciated. My main problem is that I don't just want a Cadian With Boobs, mainly looking for a more athletic, lithe figure based on the Cadian aesthetic, (a bit demanding, I know.)
Quoteathletic, lithe figure
So more lightly armoured? Interesting idea, may have a go rough something out tonight if i get the spare hours :D
That'd be cool, and I'd like to see the results. I was in a discussion on Bell of Lost Souls about how there's no way to really add female Guardswomen without them being skinny girls with oversized boobs in vests. I'm personally looking for something more like a female soldier of the modern day - breasts aren't very noticeable under flak armour, they're still wearing full combat gear with helmets, but they're recognisably female due to body shape and their faces.
I think variety would be a good way to go with them, there's a lot of call for a more reserved line of female Guard minis. :)
We'll stop start of Femmegryns, though. :P
Ill just leave this here :P
