Just got my delivery of bases and heads from Anvil - next day, brilliant - and was pleased to find some of the new shell casings thrown in. Outstanding. Five stars.

Evening all!

Taking a break from my first painting session in ages!

Thanks for further feedback and suggestions -

@Haigus - Mauls/maces added to the list.

@Zywus - yeah its confusing, I call them "bevelled" and "round lip"

@Commander Cain - Thanks very much!

@Llamahead - I'm afraid I'll be leaving 6mm and other scales to other companies!

@Malika2 - Bikes, Yes, but not sure when.

@Frozen Ocean - Ill consider a full face helmet like that as and when I do a more complete regiments miniatures set.

@Mlaw - CCW's sure, the Unity Guard for example all have little power maces. The "Melee" aspect of the game in incorporated in building Breach and Clear rules, which are brutal, and representative of all kinds of close up combat/shooting.

@Lance845 - Appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not going to be making anything specific like that. All new bits need to be applicable to more than one army/game system, as well as not obviously a copy of another companies product.. Personally, I think all Necrons are entirely genderless, I'm not sure there are male and female versions?

@General Hobbs - Bare heads is a good suggestion, we don't do any in regular human scale at the moment. Ive added it to the list. More female minaitures will be available for Afterlife in due course.

@Apologist - Yep, Dogs is such a good suggestion we made them already

@Stormwall - Yes email is good. info at anvilindustry.co.uk

@Bull0 - Happy to be of service! The extra shell casings I threw in because I slightly reduced the price of 30mm bases after you had purchased some, but before anyone else.. seemed fair to include some bonus stuff!


Cheers

i am currently searching for beaky helmets... i know you have that winged one... but a 10 helmet set without wings would be awesome...

What about some sort of large fists/claws with integrated ranged weapons in them? Like a certain Talon or Gauntlet...

I think you might have missed mine in all the comments so I'll post it here again in case.

Torsos and arms to go with all the afterlife legs that I have! Seriously, you list legs and heads under conversion bits but nothing to go beween them.

Could be torso and arms as one piece but in a way that you can substitute the weapon? I know you mentioned before that separate arms were tricky.

As in, torso with sculpted arms and stock.

Nah looks good. As always ordered a gak load of Spartan stuff from you guys, so anything Greek inspired is a win win and will sway me to purchase. I would love to see a few arms with various wrist mounted weaponry, as well as some more complex torso variations similar to the black ops kits. Love the new mechanical arm set, best tech marine pieces I've ever seen. Will be buying some when I paint up my current batch of models. Wouldn't mind a new psychic hood kinda thing for some librarian conversions. Would also love some kinda shoulder mounted weapons, or a cannon coming from the back pack. Would also on top of that like some power fist type weapons with bolters or flamers attached to them, whether on top, under slug or within the gauntlet similar to Huron Blackheart.

You guys got any plans to release some terminator compatible pieces?

And also if you would upscale your instigator trucks for afterlife by 1/3 to fit marines in.... Lord know I would be buying them as would most of the Internet.

Ta I would be happy with either a more medieval style mace, or a more modern 'space police' type maul. I suspect producing both is unlikely, so whichever sells best/has most interest. I was thinking Exo-lords when I posted it, but it would be a good thing to add to a melee Regiments pack too.

Morning everyone!

@Jehan - No plans for large kits like that any time soon I'm afraid!

We have seen light vehicles, any plans for a light tank or will the truck have options with more heavier weapons on its back?

Evening all,

@Victor Von Domm - I wont be working on any new Exo-Lord Helmets now until I've decided what to do with the range - an option I'm seriously considering is a reboot, a full replacement with a more heroic scale, though the heads would remain the same size.

Ill have more information on the options soon.

@Malika2 - Did you see the Punchy fists (link below) ? I suspect you had something larger in mind, but they come with claw and gun attachment options.

I will be releasing a new "large claws" product at some point, and Ill look at including a back of the hand gun attachment.


@Plessiez - I remember reading that, apologies for missing you out and thanks for repeating! torsos and arms to go with the regiments legs, guns and heads are certainly on the list, and are quite high priority. I will likely do two different torsos and two different sets of rifle arms.


@PandaMango141 - updated roman/spartan style parts will follow along with a possible updated Exo-Lords range - see above.

Did you see our new Punchy Fists product? They come with pistol and claw attachments, but could also have a bolter or other 3rd party weapon attached if desired.

http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/Punchy-Fists


We will be releasing some Bionic legs scaled for terminator sized models, but otherwise no immediate plans.

Upscaled instigator is an interesting idea. It wont happen any time soon, but its an option for the future.

@Haigus - I'm currently working on double handed Melee Weapons for Exo-Lords, and the set will include a very mean looking Mace!

@Jehan-Reznor - The Afterlife settings doesn't really allow for heavy armour (slow and heavy, difficult to air lift and rather prone to death railgun snipers and advanced missile systems). There will however be larger wheeled and light tracked vehicles, and some with heavier firepower. I'm also looking forward to doing some gunships and similar aircraft.

Another New Product! Medieval Wax Seals and Parchments.

36 highly detailed components, each one unique. the resin becomes flexible when heated, so you can bend the Parchments without breaking them.

Excellent!

They are very nicely designed.

Those are really nice, excellent variety and I'm not sure there's anyone out there doing anything similar!

Reasonably priced for how many you get too, one or two packs at the most would do most armies (apart from Black Templars, where you'll require 1 pack per model... )

@Anvils Hammer Sounds great, and thanks for the response. Looking forward to them.

I will keep trying, flyers so the truck needs a version with a flak cannon!

Have you seen this? (pictures are a little bit big)

Thanks very much guys!

@Jehan Yep I put a thread up for the painted PROTOS in P&M Showcase.

As this is the N&R thread I can promote it!

PROTOS Avatar - Buy Now!

Another New product : Grenades and Explosives Pack!

All the explosive problem solving goodness you could ever need, on one convenient bits sprue!

I've tried to stay away from "normal" grenades everyone has loads of already, and offer some slightly more unique looking explosives options.

More new products coming up later this week!

Oooo proxy mines and micro meltabombs?

The mines on the left are actually the breaching charges used by their Republic commando assault specialists. I suspect they take their inspiration from modern water-tamped breaching charges, like the Alford Technologies ones.

Eh they just remind me of 007 too much

Anvil, Would it be Possible to have the Sniper Recon Squad have the M88 Anti-Materiel Rifle?
Not a Replacment, just an addition

Thanks guys,

@Haigus - Yep you got me, shameless stole those from the Assault Specialist kit. How could I not include them! :p

@Commander Dante - I'm sorry I'm a bit confused.. the SNiper Recon figures already have the M88's.. or do you mean including an extra rifle with the unit? They are already available to purchase singly..

Cheers

Wait they already have M88s?
Well nevermind then

Awesome dogs – my apologies; must check your store more often!

I like these new sprues of seals and grenades/mines. Can I suggest similar sprues of things like technical deelies (like scanners, ghost traps, mobile phones etc), and hands? Getting some gesturing hands, or hands doing things like pressing buttons, reaching to an ear piece or throat mic, or simply open hands, would be really useful.

If you're open to not-quite-so-futuristic things, then I'm sure the Inq28 crowd (like myself) would be very interested in sprues of dripping candles, mysterious books, burning [see forum posting rules], scrolls and the like.

Perhaps an office/communication kit of laptop, transmitter, aerial, power source and coffee mug(!) might be good for hacker/tech specialist models, and double up for the Infinity crowd?

+++Edit+++
Hmm, the forum autocorrect seems to have blocked one suggestion? Not sure why; but do you know what I mean by 'torches', in the mediaeval sense? Like the Mordheim witchhunters and Sisters of Sigmar wave around?

+++Edit II+++
Ah...
*Light dawns*
The 'f' word means something different in the US, doesn't it? Apologies for any offence caused.

Hmm think you can do single type sprues for those grenades instead of the variety packs?

as much as i love having lots of grenades (who doesn't) i need a whole lot of one type on that sprue. (though i do want a few variety packs anyway since they are awesome)

Those Micro melta bombs.... so sexy. Do they come in just a pack of micro melta bombs? Say for regiment sized minis?

Just ordered a Black Ops fireteam and 10 shotguns
Mor Deythan Strike Squad Conversion here i come!

Will the Republic Commando Heads ever be made available separately like the Grenadiers?

I would like to see something like the robo horses, but based on other animal types. I think some rough rider squads on robotic raptors or bears would be pretty cool too.
Riding lizards?

Evening all,

@Javin and Desubot : We will look at producing a sprue of the most popular grenades.. I assume you are both referring to the middle canister bombs which have a superficial and entirely coincidental similarity to GW melta bombs?

@Commander Dante - do post a photo of the conversions in this thread when you are done! Id like to see them

@Ohman - Commando heads no, BUT we are releasing the Pulse Mech heads as a separate part, which are more suited to heroic scale miniature and in my view slightly cooler looking than the commando version, they will be available next week!

@Vitki - thanks for the suggestions, It will be a while before I get to robot horses and if they sell really well, I might look at variants, but I wouldn't want to raise your hopes to much!


NEW PRODUCT -

Our Mechanical Arm Conversion Set proved to be very popular, so I have created a smaller version, scaled for 28mm heroic human infantry such as GW imperial guard kits and similar.

The new set also includes an extra, smaller power plant, and two new attachement, so there are loads of possible variations.



PRODUCT PAGE with lots more example photos.

Have a good weekend everyone! We will be back on Monday with more new releases.

Cool power spanner
