Visor Heads set

Hey Joel - got some of your bionic bits the other day and I'm mightily impressed.

I'd suggest some semi-powered fatigue legs. Because, with some semi-powered legs, a regular power armour body/arms, and those visor heads with topknots, I CAN FINALLY BUILD THUNDER WARRIORS!

@ Joel, thanks to your new server I can actually get to your site.

You have a number of items of interest. I greatly appreciate the power-axes. I am wondering if you have any plans to make them being held in the left hand?

@d-usa, cool. yeah the pads are all scaled for the medium bionics so a little big for gaurdsman sized models. I am planning a number of smaller should pad options when I get to the guardsman project though.

@Arbitorian, Cheers! I will certainly be releasing new leg sets in the future, but no specific plans along those lines at current, next up is a "tech" style Steam Lord leg set.

@Scott, great news! So far the new server is working much better and more importantly loading much faster than the last server (which we recently found out was hosting over 5000 other websites!) as its a virtual dedicated server.

Several people have asked about left handed versions of the various melee weapons, so this is certainly something I will sort out in the near future.

Cheers Guys,

Joel

Hey Anvil Industries.

I ordered some heads and backpacks from you in the past and was very impressed with both the quality and speedy delivery. The winged beaky helmets look great on my Ravenwing bikers.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if those new helmets look any good on Space Marine Scouts? The ones that look a bit like Thunder Armour helmets? I'm worried that they might be a bit too big, resulting in bobbleheaded marines.

Joel,

I'm thinking that perhaps a helmet crest similar to GW captain Sicarus would be nice. Great stuff as always.

Legion

Hey Guys,

El_Capitan, thanks very much!
The new helmet/visor head should look ok on scouts, the heads which the helmets are modeled on are the same size as a regular marine/scout heads, I think they are about the same size overall as a cadian IG helmet, perhaps a fraction larger.

Legion, Thanks, and cheers for the suggestion, Crests are always suitably generic! Ill look it up.

Joel

I must say I'm very impressed with the new releases. Keep up the good work!

Any update on those Bionic legs, Joel?

I have to get started on a special 10-man squad of marines that I'm sure will look absolutely AMAZING with your parts.

Hard as Nails, well equipped, and looking for a fight.

Thanks very much Ph34r!

Conrad, They are on the to do list a long with a lot of stuff! but consider them moved up a few places!

Im going on holiday on the 26th, so Anvil will be closed for a week, still taking orders, just a delay in shipping stuff out.

As of the 5th July, Ill have cleared any backlogged orders, and will also have some full time help with day to day running, which will free up a lot of my time to work on getting new releases out as quickly as possible!

I will compile a short list of projects, and will work on them in order of how many people vote for each one (Ill set up a poll).

Cheers,

Joel

He has them on his site, they are suitably amazing.

I saw your rifles used on an IG conversion (on a blog on this site) - they looked great but a little bulky. The poster mentioned you said you were planning on a line of weapons designed for IG. Is this so? And if it is, when!? Would love to buy some.

@Bounty-hunt,

Thanks, yeah they are designed for larger models.

I am planning a full range of human sci-fi infantry, which I hope to start work on later this year, unfortunately I have a lot of projects I want to work on, so I cant say exactly when I will kick that one off, I will probably try to get the smaller versions of the guns released before the main project, so people can use them for conversions a little earlier than would otherwise be the case.

Thanks for your interest.

The pump shotguns look dead on size wise? Kai, the wonderful gent at Imperial Armoury took a few side by side shots of it with the GW loose lasgun, and they looked great as far as size comparison?

alarmingrick wrote:

The shotgun and automatic shotguns are pretty much exactly right.

The scale issue with the other guns isnt that they are too long (they are about the same lenght as a lasgun) its that they are very chunky, so look oversized in the hands of a guardsman.

The new rifles will be around the same length, but just a lot slimmer.

Cheers,

Joel

Hey Joel,
I'll second Conrad on the bionic legs. I'm doing Fe Warriors amongst other projects, so I'm always on the lookout for bionics - especially if they're incorporated into the Unit body sets.

Still planning to order a decent sized pile of stuff right after my wallet recovers from the current barrage.

Oh, and I'm sure this is on the drawing board, but I'd love to see some kind of Heavy, "truescale", tactical "Exterminator" type-armour for the Steam Lords.

Even just torsos and legs (and shoulder pauldrons) to start with, that could be compatable with both existing heads that you already offer as well as sci-fi armoured arms available on the wider market.

what a good idea scipio.au

You have no idea how long its been on the drawing board and how much I want to get started on this kit!!

There are about half a dozen major kits I want to complete, and im hoping to have all of them done by the end of the year, so one kit/project a month.

The Steam Lord "Exo-Armour" will be quite different existing heavy armour miniatures, Ill be going for proper realism, so the added bulk and height will all be the exo skeleton and extra armour plates wrapped round the Steam Lord Mini.

I will be putting up complete sketches for feedback before I start work on the 3D printed components.

The leg bionics are also coming up pretty soon, they are one of the smaller projects I want to get out the way before tackling any larger stuff.

Cheers,

Joel

This is good news! I have utter faith that you could pull off a really good looking model, one that I would probably go crazy over and buy far too many sets for my own good!

Where is this giant list of stuff you have planned!? I am curious to see what we could be expecting from you in the future.

Cain

Needs more rivets and some ork stuff

I'd also like to see some "nuclear guns". I know it's cliched, but you really can never have too many of those; and though there are many others on the market your talent for 28mm firearms indicates yours are likely to be superior.

Could we possibly get some Guard love?! In particular Bionic arms/legs or even heads?! Please!

@Commander Cain,

Thanks very much! I will be really keen to get feedback on my proposed release schedule, so I can work first on the stuff people really want!
In July, I will be getting up a lot of concept work and details on my proposed projects, and devising some kind of pre-order system.

@Krimson, Rivets and Ork stuff is more Kits thing (from zinge Industries) but I will expanding the range in all sorts of directions over the next few years!

@Ouze, the CAD files for my Anti-Matter Rifle and Fusion Cannon are actually Works In Progress at the moment, expect to see some serious energy weapon related firepower In early August! Also coming up are Anti-Material sniper rifles and some Steam Lord Heavy weapons.

@megatron, I already offer "small multi-pose bionics" which are the correct scale for Cadian sized miniatures.
I will be released similar "small leg bionics" in the nearish future.

Some point this year (Dont know when exactly) I will be releasing an entire "Modular Guardsman" product range, which Im really excited about, stay tuned!


Thanks very much for the feedback and involvement guys,

Regards,

Joel

Hey Anvil I'm advertising you stuff again.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/450439.page#4440068
All those business cards you sent me are gone, my FLGS let me place them on his counter along with a picture of how I was useing them on my guys and 2 days later they need a refill.
I hope you do decide to get those stickers or the dice idea you were throwing around.

Important announcement- Anvil Industry is on holiday!

I love this job, but after working non-stop for a year, I need a break! So Im flying out to Sweden in a couple of hours time.

This means I will not be able to dispatch any orders until the 3rd of July 2012 (one week from now).

To make up any inconvenience, and thank my customers for their awesome support over the past year, Im offering a 15% discount while I am away.

You can place orders as normal, and then use discount code HOLIDAY to get 15% off your entire order, including the whole range of products.

When I get back, I will work as hard as I can to catch up with any order backlog, and then get on with the much more important job of sculpting a lot of new products!

Thanks very much,

Joel

Man I wish I still had some money in my budget.

Not only is it awesome you tell us you are away, you give us a discount!

Another order placed cant let that go pass without using the discount

Nice. I placed a small order. Let's hope you go on holiday again on a weekend that's not bookended by huge kickstarters!

The upcoming stuff sounds quite exciting, I have to say...

Bloody hell mate that was fast got my order to day and all is looking great Big thanks again
