Make the cups, sell them on Etsy, I buy a set. Everyone's happy, except my girlfriend when I insist on serving tea/coffee to guests out of them.

I wouldn't sell them publicly, I'm a professional artist and GW would be on me in a second. I'd absolutely make a few for fun though and offer them to folks on here. Zero promises I'd actually do it, I've been super busy between my work and my personal art practice.

Casting some porcelain 90's marines would be very fun. Those guys would make perfect pawns in a HH chess set, but I'd still need other pieces and that is real work. HH checkers haha?

There was recently a huge bout of drama because they sent C&D to anyone that dared make an animated video and post it. So yeah.

I've seen pics of other ones on their FB which have the wheels way further back so maybe this one's misassembled? It sure looks too back heavy to move...

I wouldn't put it past TTCombat to misassemble their own official model, but nope, those tires and that turret are exactly where they designed them to be. The other bus ain't nearly as bad, though it would look way better with stabilizers, some ammo crates, and some crew.

Beware that the DZC models are 10mm scale and are much bigger than the usual EpIc stuff.

Darn, they still might work as those ork guns are pretty big and epic is very loose with base sizes. A lot of my collection is 8mm too, so not far off.

No, the French Caesar is when you put sparkling wine in before the clam juice.

No, that deploys and is braced on the ground.
This hangs a huge weight behind the back axel and, apparently, appeals to orks.

That thing is a Caesar in the same way a skaeboarder with a SAW is a humvee.

Professional minis aren't made of green stuff, typical prototype materials include clay, plaster, and wood. Then the whole thing is cast in pewter, or injection molded plastics but then you already knew that right?

Does "professional minis" mean something other than miniature hobby minis? Because there are plenty of professional sculptors that work with green stuff and other putties. Although these days it seems like almost everyone has gone digital.

GW sculptors were working with greenstuff up until the early 2000s before switching to polymer clay, e.g. Trish Carden occasionally posts greens of old minis on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monstergirl_trish/?hl=en
