I got my next Trench Fighter done.



I'm looking to expand my force for Shadow War: Armageddon, so I'll probably place another order once I'm done with this batch.


Looks awesome!
You said PMC and for a minute I got excited thinking the company I'm illustrating for had contracted Anvil for a 28mm game in their settings..

Morning all,

@Barzam - very impressive! I look forward to seeing a whole squad of them painted up! keep us updated

@Bull0 - We are a little behind on replacing worn molds, have been for some months now, but now SALUTE is out of the way, we are working on getting everything back in stock as soon as possible. I cant give an exact time frame for any particular products at the moment.


Attached is an image of the first rifle for the Private Military Contractors.. A few more variants and modern style weapons are planned.

It will likely end up with a nice dull name which wont offend any other companies..

@IronBars - No Bullpup weapons with this release, but we will be doing some Bullpup weapons as one part sculpts with our armoured arms product, at some point in the future.

I like that a lot. Hmm, I don't think that is close enough to cause issue, you just need a suitable acronym for the TK- something like Tactical Karbine

Tox Troopers back in stock - yay!

And bought... and assembled and primed. They are lovely detailed models! Think they'll end up as Tech Thralls for my Skitarii... or possibly an entire Imperial Guard force for Shadow War Armageddon.

I also built 2 dozen Republic Grenadiers, which I've had kicking around for years, over the weekend, so I guess gaming The Expanse is on the cards too

@Miniholic - Do you mean, an M4 style weapon for the Exo-Lords? It's certainly possible, but wouldn't been until we revamp the range, which I am hoping to do later this year.

@GloomyFenix - Do you mean a weapon in the same style as the Trench Carbine, but longer, more like a sniper rifle? If so, yes I would like to add a set - likely as a specialist sniper weapon option rather than a whole squads worth of weapons. I dont have a time frame for this at the moment though.

@AAN - Thats really impressive!

I'm going to share it here so more people see it, and I would like to share it on our facebook page if thats ok with you?



I am hoping to add bionic arm, leg and head options to the Regiments range at some point, which will open up more options for robotic infantry kit bashing.


@Momontaro - glad you are enjoying the models! Gaming in The Expanse (I assume you mean the recent TV show (and book)) would be very cool - I would hope some of our Regiments or Afterlife model would be suitable.


All- the next Regiments release will be Private Military Contractors. Likely in a few waves throughout June.
Here is a preview of all 42 unique heads which make up the first 6 head sprues which will be released! Short Hair, PMC with and without baseball caps, mixed modern helmets, Night Vision sets, and Beanies (Adam insists they should be called Watch caps in a military setting).

head over to our facebook and comment for a chance to win the lot when they are released!

I used those legs on some spare terminator parts and they worked great!

I'm from the future. The future of space

Just posting to subscribe. Thinking about getting into Skitarii and I'll have extra guns and heads that will need torsos and legs.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better.

On the carbine pictured above.....can you make one without the carry handle? ( easier to mount scopes etc and reflects how they look today)

.Only a fool believes there is such a thing as price gouging. Things have value determined by the creator or merchant. If you don't agree with that value, you are free not to purchase.

Possibly off-topic.. but if Anvil is looking for feedback..
Sadly this is accurate.. so much so that when the adjustment knob for the sight on my handle broke I could only find cheap Chinese knockoffs to replace it with.. seemingly nobody is making these anymore (that I could find). I think most branches of the US military are issuing M4s with ACOGs on them mounted on risers. Mine is currently a flip up rear BIUS with micro red dot, rail laser with pressure pad, and as soon as I get around to it a flashlight on a QD.. oh.. and I'm running a HERA CQR because I live in Cali.. I think most special op units and contractors are running similar but with a 3x magnification unit and some prefer a holo-sight like an EOTech. As a point of reference, I have worked in and around military and contractor types off and on for the last.. hm.. almost 17 years.

All of that aside, I do know people that prefer to use the old-school handles as their risers for the sights. It's not 100% obsolete, just not nearly as wide circulation as it used to be. Part of that is weight reduction. Part is redundancy. A proper sling makes it almost pointless. If you have optics on a carry handle you can't really use it that well either.

The A2 front sight is also a bit old school but 90% of rifles still have those, even if they don't have a carry handle. Changing out an existing A2 front sight requires a bit of work or a trip to the gunsmith. Competition shooters and some special operations commands free float their barrels and use rail mounted front sights.

Unused rails are also a mixed thing now. A lot of hand guards have the ability to add and remove rail units as needed to reduce weight. A lot of the older RIS and similar systems had kinda of a "set it and forget it" type of thing going on so you had to put covers on them. This is another mixed usage thing though. Some people still attach rails and leave them even though there's nothing on it..


If you want to set it up the way contractors are using them today though.. I dunno, that's going to be a mixed bag. There's no standard issue and they're professional gunfighters.. so they tend to customize them to what works on an individual level. They also use whatever works. Some don't run AR-15s
Spoiler:




At the end of the day, keep doing what you're doing. More options = more customization of course.. and I am really digging this lineup. When I can I'll be picking up a pretty healthy bunch of these.

Hey all,

@Kodos -

Plans.. lots of plans.

Upgrade legs to make models bigger is an interesting idea, I'll have a think about it.
The problem is that the new Primaris marines have larger torsos and chunkier arms, so the existing SM torsos may look a bit odd on larger legs.

The existing Widow Maker and Exorcist rifles we've been selling for a few years now should be a nice alternative to the new Bolt rifles, although we will likely take the opportunity to upgrade and revamp them a little.

@Kanluwen - I dont have any Infinity miniatures in our collection here, sorry. They are broadly similar to GW cadian/catachan heads (except our helmets are not as cartoony/chunky as the cadian helmet). If that is any help.

@Commander Cain - new Exo-Lord parts are planned, but we dont intend to release anything which is very similar to GW parts.
We want to provide parts which provide aesthetically distinct alternatives, and which wont get us in legal trouble!

@Frozenwastes - Have you seen this blog post?

http://anvilindustry.co.uk/regiments-v-skitarii

The conversion is reasonably straight forward.

@General Hobs and Mlaw -

I know its an older style, and yes, the plan is for a sprue of mixed M4's, some with and some without the carry handle, and a further sprue of mixed AR-15 pattern weapons, with a wider variety of configurations.

Other sprues of modern weapons are likely to be added in future depending on time. The AK47 esque weapon is done and will be released with the Jungle Fighters wave, which is the one after the PMC stuff.

Yeah, the Primars are not just Marines with larger legs but a complete new design
and I guess standard marines will vansih over time.

I once tried (4 years ago) on how to easy scale up older Marines with cutting of different parts (and placed 1mm plastic card in between)
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aLRWVSwigkM/UHnc9sj57cI/AAAAAAAAAzU/cYX-cJBATew/s1600/TS+WIP+03.JPG

best/final result was this
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_9fWjD0P8LY/UHnc_7ijdLI/AAAAAAAAAzc/eSmBxLnAxtI/s1600/TS+WIP+04.JPG

of course I also increased the torso (more like starched as the belt was lowered and added nothing to the total high of the model) and arms, but the most gain in high was by adding stuff to the legs (below feet, lower leg, upper leg and hips)

So just having larger legs with higher hips and maybe a belt on them (so that the torso looks more stretched by doubling the belt width) to upgrade existing models would help to keep them more in line with the Primaris (or use them as such)

Not sure if there is a big market for it or other models would be attractive (I can see Mantics Enforcer with Space Marine Arms/Weapons/Heads work fine as Primaris)

Were the PMCs going to be getting new arms and legs, or just torsos, heads, and weapons? Any new Afterlife releases in the works?

@Barzam -

Wave One will contain heads, weapons, torsos and a full new set of legs with more varied modern day clothing.

Depending on parts chosen and paint scheme, they will be suited for a huge range of modern day style models from PMCs to militia, criminal gangs, covert operatives etc.

Wave Two, Which is almost a separate "Jungle Fighters" wave, will contain a full new "bare/T-Shirt/Rolled sleeve" arms set, plus new torsos and heads.

After that we will be returning to some more sci-fi esque and alternative history themes later in the year.


Afterlife - Two new factions, an expanded CRANE corporation, and resistance fighters, are planned this year, along with an expanded and revised ruleset. We are taking on a new miniatures designer from next month, so I am hoping that output of new stuff will increase.
