Nice! You guys work fast!

Nice, the ammo hoppers are definite improvements on a similar product that's recently hit the market. Really like the extra barrel option too.

I will be needing to get a few of those Frag Launchers. They look perfect.

Ordered!

The new modular Heavy Weapons are up.

These are actually really, really fabulous. I look forward to seeing the range of gun styles expanded in the future. There are many, many different IG regiments available, but having more heavy weapons of differing styles with core similarities available makes them so much more unique, whilst fitting the procurement fluff.

Awesome.

Y U make frag launchers but not Jes Goodwin-inspired Guardsmen of my dreams??? :-( ;-)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the basic economic principle of supply and demand...

@BrookM - took about 3 hours to design, reused some parts from the Regiments Heavy weapons and of course the existing Exo-Lord arms, so I didnt need to start from scratch.

We will 3D print and mold it on Monday most likely.

With the inexplicable and sudden interest in more tactical looking power armor and the new frag cannon... I think it's important to remind people of your great torso and leg sets that would really go well with that drag cannon:

That mortar is really cool.

Damn, so many amazing looking things here. The Martian Orbital Fusiliers look fantastic. I'm actually tempted to buy a couple of squads of them, despite the price.

Any chance of a "platoon deal bundle" kind of thing at some stage? 3.5 squads with heavy weapons added?

Morning all,

Thanks for the feedback, Im just working on a few last improvements and additions to the Frag Launcher, then I will get it printing!

@Ketara thanks for posting the HW's up,

Glad you like them

Here is the info for what will provisionally be included in Heavy Weapons Wave two, in about 3-4 weeks time.

Wave Two Heavy Weapons (scheduled for mid September) will include:

Guns : Maxim Gun, Twin HMG, Field Gun, Cyclic Phase Blaster, Flame Cannon
Gun Mounts : Large Gun Carriage (with larger wheels), Walking Mech platform
Additional Kneeling Legs and Gunner/Spotter Arms for the Regiments range, to allow the creation of Custom Six man Heavy weapons Squads.

@JohnnyHell - I'm afraid Sockwithaticket has it correct!

@Azazelx - absolutly. when the Heavy weapons teams are available I will be creating a "platoon builder" much as you describe, so we can offer slightly better discounts on larger orders.

Have you guys ever considered adding a pump shotgun to the Exo-Lords armoury? Maybe with a boxy case surrounding the tube and barrel?
The breaking double barrel is fun but doesn't look exactly military issue, not to dudes in exo suits.

Any chance of the heavy weapon gunners being sat in the more natural pose below ?
They could also double up as tank riders !

I am with Big H here for both reasons he mentioned especially tank riders, why does no one do vehicle riders ?

The thing is that position is not as "cool", and why GW, Warlord, and every other plastic mini manufacture dose their kneeing legs. Kneeling means they double for modelling line infantry taking a kneeling shooting position.

It also means the same pair of legs can be used for both the gunner and the loader.

The Sitting shooting position well more realistic for heavy weapon gunners and emplaced infantry, are more situational in how you can use them and don't look as "cool" to the average modeller. When modelling infantry who are behind emplacements/earth works/ect a sitting position is prob more realistic then the kneeling position. But I don't realy see anyone actully doing that for their table top army lol.


Edit:
Some pics and a link to a website explaining what the shooter is doing in the photo's, in the spoiler.

These Shooting positions were covered in my firearms safety course i took when i was younger. I actually know that the Sitting position is one of the most stable positions to fire from, but personaly knew many hunters who refuse to use it just because of how silly they felt they looked doing it. They would rather do the more dignified kneeling position. The fact that they would refuse to do it when hunting deer and stuff despite being the better position then the kneeling position, is the reason I think it's a pose on mini's that wouldn't sell very well.




edit: edit: Tank rider infantry TBH is kinda situational also. For example, The exposed upper tracks on GW's IG tanks, means no good places to realy put the riders TBH.

Morning all,

@Mr Rose,

Thats a good idea, we have the "automatic shotgun" but its a really old product. A pump action version would be a good addition. Not sure when I'll get to it, but Ive put it on the list.

@Big H (and LDD and Lockark)

Seated legs have already been suggested and I like the idea.

The plan is to make a sprue of three "gunner" legs in each style, to be paired with 3 random standing static legs to make each 6 man Heavy weapons squad.

The sprue will contain 2 x kneeling legs (different from the existing kneeling sculpt) and 1 x legs sitting on an ammo/supplies box of some kind.

Unfortunately they cant be fully sitting on the ground because to be modular, the waist has to be the same height as the kneeling legs (which then match up with the gunner arms/weapon mount).

I'm off on holiday for a few days now, so my posts here will be sporadic/non existent until September 8th!

Charlie and Adam will be running the show in my absence don't worry!

If you were to make the seated legs and the ammo/supplies box into separate pieces, people could use the seated legs for tank riders and the ammo/supplies box for extra scenery.

@Anvils Hammer RE: shotgun; great, thanks! If you're looking for inspiration definitely don't look at the new Deathwatch kit…

I like this idea. I would prob use the legs "as intended", but could see others haveing great fun with that.

Personal I think the sitting on boxes legs would be great for artillery Crew. Could see doing a officer sitting down to check his math for the shots his crew is getting ready to take.

I thought I'd pull this up from the depths. I worked on my test fig for my own Martian Fusiliers. It turns out my planned scheme wasn't so different from MOTN's.



Great figures though. Can't wait to do the rest of the team.

That looks awesome!

Nice indeed, most inspiring for when I get around to painting my own!

Very impressive Barzam!

I love the overall scheme and particularly the hazard stripes!

My only comment would be that having so many bright colours (orange, yellow, red, green, blue) is quite visually chaotic, it may look better with slightly fewer different ones.

I love seeing Regiments stuff painted up, I've still not managed to get around to any myself, too busy sculpting them!

Last pic from me on the Orbital Fusiliers, more on my blog.



Great work Anvil, keen to expand my little collection of these.

@Anvil

Is there any other large scale bitz to go with the Large Scale Bionic Legs?

If not, are there any plans to release said bitz?

Just had a look at the black ops armoury. Love all the little touches like the peq boxes and reflex sights. Will be making an order for some goodies at the weekend .

@MOTN Looking bad ass. Very (Star Wars) Republic Commando!

Almost exactly the same thing as I'm doing with mine MOTN - mine have an orange stripe down one side. For some reason the models remind me of the martian.. I'll post some pics up when I get chance.

What's next up Joel?

Awesome design, especially with the added bits now. Any plans to do a Widowmaker SAW/Hellfire Cannon or Autocannon/Hellfire Cannon hybrid weapon in the near future? No clue where I got that idea from but it sounds like that would be a great weapon *cough cough*
