fuuuuurrrrr.....!!!

excellent migth actually get my wovles finished now!

Hi Joel,

On the blades you could put some power feeds - someone round must do something you could use

Cheers

Kit

Thanks for showing us the new stuff.

Are all the glaves going to be stand alone or are there going to ones sculpted with fists? It would be great if there were some fist variants for use with the Steam Lord miniatures directly. I know I will buy some if they came with fists.

I like the Spartans.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.

Kit, the blades are not "powered" otherwise I would have! I prefer my steam lords to kill their enemys by simply swinging a very heavy peice of metal into them.. several times if nessecary..

The problem with the glaives for sale by several other small mini companys is precisely this.. how do you use a glaive without a fist.. its a converting nightmare, which is what gamers try to avoid by purchasing bits..

There are 5 different glaives, each with an armoured fist in a different possition/amgle.

The new parts should be released tommorow night if everything goes to plan..

AH

Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I wanted I wanted to hear! I'm planning on using the glaives for the unit commanders for a steam lords based army I have in the works.

Can't wait for your medievil/armoured arms to be in stock.

Looks gud like the spartan head with the crest cant wait for more stuff

Anvil Industry Ltd.

the website is very nicely designed. well done.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
the custom steam knights are very cool!

How much for a set of 10? USD. Id like 10 of those guys to start, they look like a Sci Fi version of those 300 Spartan guys. I like that vibe, and the detail, not too little, not too much.

Are there full set kits available?

Those are really good looking sculpts. Amazing work there, chief.

Thanks guys!

The website is just the basic opencart template, but a friend of mine hacked it up a lot to create a simpler interface with a focus on the products, Im very happy with how it turned out.

Its my "custom steam lord" product-

http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=79

A basic custom steam lord is £2.90, with all the additions shown on my spartan miniature, they come out at £4.20, or approx $72 for ten including postage to the US.

You can play around with all the options, changing parts, taking stuff away, adding accessories etc to create the exact miniature you want.

Thanks again,

Joel Pitt

Evening All,

Some new WIP's of upcoming releases for you comments/feedback.

Ive recently started collaborating on a few things with Kit from Zinge Industries,

Firstly we have the CAD WIP for my Steam Lord Assault Rifle he's drawn up -



This will be available as a conversion part and also with attached arms to use with upcoming Steam Lord Miniatures.

I went for a very "modern 21st century" for the gun, with the addition of the tactical rails on the top and sides, it will also have attachements available such as a grenade launcher.

Any feedback on the design is welcome and I will pass it on to Kit.

Next up we have some of the masters for my soon-to-be-released "Urban Forge" base range (along with a few other sets). Lots of different types of plasticard and rubble!






Cabling, turbines and some debris supplied by Zinge Industries, reproduced under licence. Rest of the Design (C) Anvil Industry ltd.


I am releasing three base sets initially-

"Parched Desert"
"Urban Forge" (pictured)
"Granite Wastes"

I dont like the name "urban forge" better suggestions for an urban/industrial themed base set name please?

Next up are some heavy weapons, then a big Steam Lord set.


Cheers,

Anvils Hammer

Like the look of the not ''bolter''.

I really like that rifle, it actually makes me want to find a reason to field some space marines. No, really!

Ooh, are you going to make attachments for that lovely rail system that is on you "not"bolter?

Its actually "not" a bolter..

same 28mm scale obviously but this weapon is based on the FN SCAR-H carbine.

http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/assault/as70/scar-h_all.jpg


@ Fosner-

Initially available attachments will be an M203 grenade launcher, a chain saw attachement, and a scope for the top rail. Im open to suggestions for other attachments.

Im also planning a automatic shotgun- basically a belt fed SPAS-12.

Cheers,

Anvils Hammer

I certainly picked up on the SCAR elements - it looks to me like a delightful mash up with a boltgun. Bloody brilliant.

In terms of attachments, hmm, heart beat sensor doohickey?

@ Fox Box, cheers! it should be going off to the 3D printers fairly soon along with a few other bits and peices.

Hey guys

The youtube channel is now up

www.youtube.com/anvilindustrytv

Hope you guys like the look of the channel, I will be updated it fairly often so please subscribe to recieve all the updates.

I welcome feedback and suggestions about the new bases.

Cheers,

Joel Pitt

Are these bases made from recycled rubber?

No!! Its resin with a metal filler, hence the added weight, which combined with the Texture-Grip allows the base its stability and ability to stick to terrain features.

Cheers,

Hi Joel

The bases look great. I made a small purchase over the weekend to test out some of your products for a Pre Heresy project I have going (it’s a pretty big project that plans to make use of a lot of Anvil Industry bits). Your bases look like they’re going to save me a gak load of time. I especially like how you also have a basic plain sand base for us folk who prefer “less is more” when it comes to bases.

By the way, when are the armoured arms going to be released? *hint hint*

Thanks for the info. From the Cracked earth bases it gave the impression of some of the recycled tire terrain i have here, i believe its war torn worlds?

Oh and your rifle looks great!

Thanks guys!

Candy.man, Soon!! Im releasing a couple of heavy weapons Ive had sitting on my desk for about 4 months now, then its on to a massive Steam Lord Reboot including lots more of everything! Medieval style arms and legs are first on the list.

AH

Any idea when that Steam Lord Assault Rifle is going to be available?

I am doing a major conversion of a squad of 10 models, 8 of which I will require these weapons for - 2 of which I will then convert to sniper-rifle variants - and 10 of the Forge Ruins 25mm bases. I am also wanting to do a mounted model conversion which will also require another assault rifle, and a forge ruins mounted model base. I want to order these soon so I can get started on the rest of the conversion process - I want to get the bases before I start converting the legs so that the figures will stand properly and not look awkward once based.

In the new year I also plan on converting all my Games Workshop Tau models , mainly just giving them a re-paint but also re-basing them onto the appropriate Granite wasteland bases, and will require at least 3 60mm bases for tanks, about 10 40mm bases for battlesuits, and will be re-basing all my troops.

Hey,

awesome, glad you like the stuff! The rifle is due out before christmas hopefully. I am waiting for it to get sent to the 3D printers, as soon as it gets here it will be a few days to make the molds, updates will be in this thread of course.


New products!-

These have been sitting on my desk half finnished for months.. last week I finnally got them completed and in the molds.







These are available now from the store- http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_78

The tripod is sold separatly and can equip most 28mm heavy weapons.

Ive also added a "modelling supplies" section to the store, which has "Rapid Mold" press moulding plastic, as well as several different tones of static grass. More modelling related stuff will be added as I source it. Anything in particular you want to see? suggest it!

now this stuff is out of the way Im getting on with a major new Steam Lord launch.

Cheers,

AH
