Time for afterlife Fury Road rule set?

lol, are you going to be gluing a bunch of kitchen skewers to a few of these? You could get that truck with trailer that Puppetswar has and make it a thing

Funny you should mention that; I've just been assembling my kickstarter mini's, and I used the mohawked head from one of the other kickstarter kits (pulse mechs?) for my ATV driver, and swapped the tyres for chunkier Zinge ones, just so it seemed a bit more... shiny and chrome!






oh and it has a VIP passenger on the back seat:



just gotta pick a colour scheme now

the bigger tires are cool. It looks like a bigger size four wheeler.

yeah, that's what I liked about it - it looks like a scaled up quad bike/atv now!

That is so cool the open top with mohawk driver, large Zinge tyres, and the dog at the back but shouldn't that be a boy and his dog I was considering a wheel change now I will for sure.

OK, so I ordered a bust last Friday, it arrived Tuesday.

And today I got the paypal receipt for it!
(Good job too, I'd hate for Joel to have sent it out and not got any money for it, and I've started painting it already, so he can't have it back! )

Just throw a rollbar on that thing and it's ready to go. Anyone wanting to do that, you can take a wire coat hanger and bolt cutters to make cheap roll bars or.. less dangerous but softer, you can use soldering wire that's really thick for the same effect.

Now I'm waiting to see all the conversions The only thing with the zinge kits is getting a little suspension to raise it up a little.

nobody posted this?

That, is sheer awesome. So glad I pledged for the Assassination pack now!

Funny, it's not up to the usual standard to me. OK, I wasn't able to get in on the Afterlife campaign, so I have obviously missed the background on these, but just looking at them as a couple of models without any knowledge of that, here are my thoughts. (And from Haighus' post, I am given to understand that these are some sort of assassination team.)

Whereas normally all the stuff from Anvil is well thought out, I just don't get that set.

The arms and some of the other joints look weak and spindly - I can imagine it would be easier to damage those arms and thereby render the cyborg much less effective than it would be to completely destroy it - and I don't get the reason for putting boobs on it.
(But that's probably just me.)

And I get the impression that the woman is wearing a full-body catsuit and a slinky dress, which I also don't understand. Dress only, fine. Catsuit only, fine. but the two together?

(OK, that's probably due to the crease below her knee, which could be in a stocking. But from that picture I see a similar thing at her elbow. Which has gotten me to seeing her in a blue catsuit with white stars on it and a red and white striped dress.)

I also don't get the concept of "Sexy woman in .... moonboots? Not what I assumed a female undercover assassin would be wearing, but the dress does not go well with the role of active assassin, possibly trying to get high up to draw a line of sight to a target. Something like that flapping in the breeze will draw all sorts of attention.

I don't think she's wearing a catsuit. Plus, combat heels are kind of dorky. I'm fine with a woman wearing sensible shoes while on the job.

I just got my Kickstarter stuff last night though. Amazing quality, as usual. I started assembling a couple Pulse suits for the hell of it, too. I noticed a little oddity when comparing some of the new Republic troops to the first Kickstarter's Republic troops. The originals seemed to nicely straddle the line between heroic scale proportions and trues scale proportions. The new guys seem to be going a bit more towards true scale (something I'm perfectly happy with). They're a little taller and their limbs aren't as chunky.

Were we supposed to get a set of rules as well? I got counters, dice, and tokens, but I don't remember getting rules.

Don't get me wong, Barzam. I'm not after combat heels either.

I just don't understand the creases under her knee and in her elbow, and the boots don't do it for me. Neither one thing nor the other. Sensible shoes, I'd be all for.

Well, Joel did mention in the facebook post about it that he'd been working on those renders for 11 hours straight and that they're still WIP. Since he does listen to fan feedback, he may consider doing changes as well.

I don't mind the lady's looks

@Conrad as Barzam says it is still in design, the arms have not been added yet, and maybe he can add some fembot guns to the droid, to make the "boobs" functional

Hey all,

Thanks for the feedback, its all welcome, good and bad.

Conrad -

The "Assasination Pack" isnt actually a pack of assasins, its a pack of high ranking figures from both factions, corporate leaders, councilors, senators etc.

Natalya Federici, shown here, is in civilian garb, hence she only has a pistol.

She has tights on.. doenst want to get cold legs.. who knows what future fashion will be like!

Im not totally happy with her boots either.. Ill have another look at them and try and make some improvements.

The Drone has boobs (and a stylised version of Natalyas face) because its a one off custom battle Avatar. Natalya can use a mind link implant to take control of the drone as if it were her own body, hence, I wanted it to have approximately the same proportions and figure as her.
I also thought as she is so wealthy and from high social circles, she would want an Avatar which is a sculptural work of art, rather than just a utilitarian war machine.

Its still very much WIP, though Jehan, Im afraid I wont be adding Fembot guns. feel free to convert your own though.


@Barzam - Yes, all the new figures are very slightly more toward true scale than the first figures.
The first KS figures were partly hand sculpted/assembled, whereas the current lot are all 100% digital. I decided with the newer figures to have the guns slightly smaller and the legs and arms a little less bulky, makes for more natural proportions while still fitting ok along side other figures, (in my opinion at least)

RULES - are coming! I've been 100% focused on the models so we can get all the physical rewards shipped ASAP. As soon as Im done with design, ill be 100% focused on making a kick-ass rules set, which will be released digitally.

Thanks for that.

No access to FB or twitter, so didn't get the background.

As the drone is her personal Avatar, the basic shape makes sense. Looking forware to seeing the finished work.

Natalya's boots. Would you consider changing the buckles for a zip, and then slimming down the foot area. Make them follow the shape of her feet more closely. Keep them as flats, no more heel than a man generally has if you put one in at all, but point the toes a bit. Remember, Oxfords - not Brogues!

Are there any plans, somewhere down the road, when all the KS stuff is out of the way, to turn the miniguns from the gun tractors into man-portable weapons that could be held by say, non-power armoured models?

From facebook, looking good!

Damn, that assassin is all kinds of flippin' awesome! And I like that robot a whoooooole lot more with the arms.

Hi guys, quick question for you fine gents: Would the Afterlife Grenadier legs work on SM Scouts or are they too small in comparison?

I don't have any SM scouts to hand but given how bulky grenadiers are I would guess the scout torsos might actually be slightly on the small side. Then again I've been away from 40K for a while now so I might be mistaken.

OK, I gotta have an Instigator for my future desert table. I may get a few if the price is right. So....how much will they be retail when they're available?

Morning all,

@Zaph - They should work I think, though I dont have scouts to hand.
Basically the "waist" is the same size as cadian plastics, and the proportions are similarly bulky/heroic, so with scout torsos being a little smaller than marines the parts should match up ok.

@SlavetoDarkness - We are probably aiming for around £18 per kit, possibly with a combo deal for squadrons of 3, but I cant confirm anything yet, it will be available toward the end of September.
Its a bit more expensive than similarly sized vehicles due to the very large number of components!

Im glad you like the kit


Here are some more photos of new stuff I have recently completed.

The Assasination Pack, including a PROTOS drone with alternative "stowed" shoulder guns.



and two of the new CQB Goliath, showing different weapon configurations achievable with the kit.

It just occurred to me that those could make a really fun themed army of counts-as Killa Kans

Those assassination models would make nice HVTs for Infinity.

Excellent stuff!

The assassin reminds me of Kai Lang from Mass Effect, really cool looking.

Was the Assasination Pack, including a PROTOS drone with alternative "stowed" shoulder guns part of the KS?

I pledged for -SHARD STRIKE- and can't remember that these were included...
