I ordered some regiments parts last night.

MASSIVE problem.

There is now far too much choice !

Any specific date for the Military Contractors' release? A friend and I are waiting to see the new stuff before we place an order

Hey Anvil. Do your tox trooper heads fit on the regiments torsos?

Evening all,

@G0urde - Thanks for your support, I am glad you like the parts!

Regarding scale and compatibility, as has been pointed out, the Afterlife parts are not compatible with Regiments or GW plastics.

The Regiments stuff is a close fit, scale wise, with GW plastic cadian, catachan and similar parts, but the Regiments parts are a little more realistically proportioned.

Certain combinations of parts work a lot better than others. Regiments uses a deeper (and in my view more realistic) neck joint, so some work is required to use GW plastic heads on regiments bodies, or regiments heads on plastic kits. Regiments heads come up a little smaller than Cadian plastics, our stuff is closer to Forgeworld kits in scale.

The regiments torsos/legs have the same size waist as Cadian plastics, so should fit well when mixed, but the cadian legs/arms are bulkier.

The Regiments torso arm connection points work well with Cadian plastics and with a bit of work will also fit with other arm sets from similar scaled kits. For example Ive seen skitari arms used well with regiments torsos.

Have you seen the comparison image here?

scroll down a bit.

If you have questions about a specific combination of parts - feel free to email us and we can give more detailed advice.


@Big H - Massive problem? We believe the solution is simple, MORE choice. So we will keep adding to the range!

@Ketara - I would not recommend using MOTN heads, including Tox Troopers, with Regimetns stuff. MOTN stuff is more true scale, so the models would look a bit pin headed.


Private Military Contractor Release

A few people have asked about this.

We are rather busy lately (which is good) and Adam is on a two week holiday, plus I have a few side projects, BUT we are making solid progress on the PMC stuff and I am currently planning the release for end of June. There will be follow up "PMC 2" wave with jungle fighter parts in July some time, following on rapidly after the first wave.

We will get some more previews up soon, and I promise it will be worth the wait!

I have a friend who's really close to ordering an Apocalypse Iron Horde command squad and a friend eyeing a "Red Army in space" kind of thing.

I've really been going on about how great the regiments range is.

omg I've never notived the page on your link... so helpful, thank you so much!!!!

Can't wait for the new teasers!

This has probably been asked before, but do you plan on adding some female models to your regiments line? The models you made for Afterlife excellent.

What weapon is the 2nd guy from the left armed with? I can't find it on the Anvil site anywhere.

Will the Widowmaker carbines from the Exolord range fit with the regiments range (specifically the heavy armour torso and the armoured arms).

Basically I am looking for 'not at all boltguns'

Is there another manufacturer that makes alternate beret heads that would be compatible with the regiments range? I am looking to get 150-200 infantry so I will need some variety.

"Hey Anvil, Where is the PMC release you promised at the end of June??"

I hear you all thinking..

Well, it's delayed. There are various reasons but one main reason is that our 3D printer has had a few teething problems and has needed a lot of effort to get working again, which has thrown the schedule off.

The good news is that we have decided to invest some of our customers hard earned cash in a brand new, professional grade 3D printing machine, which means we will soon be able to make more accurate, higher quality parts faster and more reliably. Very exciting!

We've also taken on a new CAD artist recently, so its no longer me doing all the work.

This all means I am hoping this is the last time I have to type "sorry the release is delayed for a few more weeks"

I can't offer a firm date, but if we can get good quality prints, I hope to release all the PMC stuff in 2-3 weeks time.

--------

@NivlacSupreme - Thanks for your support of the range! much appreciated.

@g0urde - You are very welcome!

@Geisty - Yes, we plan on adding a full range of female models to the regiments range, but as it will require almost entirely new parts to do it justice, I don't have a timeframe yet. There are A LOT of projects I want to work on.

@Pseudomonas - Its a Firestorm carbine, temporarily unavailable, its possible it will be back in its current form, or as an updated and slightly revised product. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Widow maker carbines are larger than Regiments guns, but will fit regiments with a bit of modelling work, there is a full conversion guide here -

http://anvilindustry.co.uk/regiments-exo-lord-weapons

You can get some alternative beret heads here

https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_10&products_id=17

Which I am pretty confident are the correct scale, but I am not 100% sure.

I am sure there are other manufacturers as well.

If you want to order a large number of figures from us, but dont need all the heads, contact us, we can remove the parts you dont need and either charge a lower price or include more stuff you do want. We are happy to be flexible to help you build the exact force you want.

Thanks all,

I will be back with some new renders soon.

Shame it's delayed, but I can wait a few more weeks.
Since the release is delayed though, can I make a request for one additional head type? Would it be possible to see a head with a balaclava, ballcap, and headset?

The firestorm carbine would be pretty much perfect for my needs, I take it that if it does make a comeback it won't be for a while? Would a suitably large order be enticement to dig out the molds?

Its not so much the scale that I am asking about but rather the 'neck connectors', I have had difficulties in the past with using heads from different manufacturers not being compatible with other torsos. Do you know if Puppets war heads will fit without much conversion work? These ones look like they should fit.

I like the regimental range very much. Hopefully, there will be sometimes "dress" uniforms

@Barzam - we are doing a whole set of heads with balaclavas, and a couple of those have light head sets. Do I understand that you want a head with a balaclava AND a ball cap (what we call a baseball cap over here)?

Im not sure how it would fit in with our planned sprues, but I could print you a 1 off certainly.

@Pseudomonas - How many would you need in total? I can find out if we can still produce them from the old mold, but we may not have it. It needs updating to the format used for the current regiments weapons (with pegs to fit in the hands) and Ill take the time to make a few changes, but nothing major. I dont know when I will get to it though. So much to do.

@Germanicus - Yep dont worry, Once we are done with PMC and Jungle fighter stuff, the next planned regiments release is dress uniform stuff and officer upgrade parts, likely along with some new Commissar models.

Wow you really are churning out this ain't you, can't wait to see how the PMC stuff comes out got my interest big time with that.

I like the idea of the balaclava head with cap anychance of picking a couple of those up ?

Will you still be venturing into the civilian dressed parts ?
If yes will you be venturing into the gang styled parts at all ?

Got an order building but want to wait for the PMC stuff so hopefully shouldn't be to long

I noticed that the heads you posted for the PMC regiment none have the cap on backwards, would you consider doing one ?

Probably 20-30 but its not that big a deal, its just that they are exactly what I was looking for

I personally think a monk/cultist robed Regiment series would do pretty well, too. Just saying...

Some Gothic Void torso questions:

Say I wanted to make something like the phase lance or heavy phase lance that use the Regiments Specialist Weapon Arms. How do those pieces attach to the Gothic Void torso? Do I need to get the Gothic Void Torsos (plain back) version and then attach the power cells that come with the weapon? Or would the tube from the specialist arms connect to the Gothic Void Hazardous Environment Torsos and I'd just use the power cells for something else?



This is sort of what I'm talking about but I have never seen any of these parts in person. I don't really know what I'm looking at and the way the front of the torsos seem to have connection points to the back make me wonder what parts are involved.



It really doesn't look like this would connect to the shoulder pipes on the gothic void torso. Or are those connection points only on the torso piece itself and it's not the torso and power cells having fittings that line up?

You will most definitely need the flat backed version of the torso. That version was designed specifically to be used with the special weapons power packs.

Hi everyone,

@LDD - one of the heads in the Baseball cap set has a cap on backwards, I felt more than 1 would be excessive.

Work on the PMC stuff continues, and the likely plan is a release of the legs, torsos and heads next week, with a huge array of weapon and accessory parts to follow a couple of weeks after that, along with a special bundle deal.

No plans for a balaclave/cap head sorry.

The militia leg and torso parts will be ideal for making civilian/ganger models.

@Pseudomonas - robed cultist parts are a planned release wave at some point.

@Frozenwastes - as Barzam kindly pointed out for me, you will need the plain back version of the void torso, and that would be automatically supplied with any specialist weapons.


---------------

While we are waiting on the PMC stuff to be ready, we have a small weekend release.

Here is the alternative Rhino model so many have asked us for over the years, we have no idea why its such a popular request

This was a one off mould for MOTN to use for some Dwarf cavalry, and we are selling a very limited run through the webstore.
Adopt a Rhino from our store HERE

@Anvils Hammer - Is there any information you could share of the dress uniform plans? I've been wanting to start a Napoleonic themed IG force for ages now, but it seems very few companies similar to yourself produce parts based on that era.

A shameless plug ( ), but I'd love to see a fusion between your Gothic Void helmets with a Belgic Shako style peak, raised front and plume - it would be perfect for a high-tech Napoleonic force.

I will second the idea for sci-fi Napoleonics. Though, I would like to see something more like a dragoon helmet with an integrated rebreather.

My bad I missed that it's the one with sunglasses on, yes one is cool thanks

Hi anvil, will you have any plans to release some Praetorian Guard style heads, like the ones in the film Zulu?

lol that NOBODY is even mentioning the rhinos.. probably out of sheer frustration

Anvil - I see mention of cultists.. any chance they can get a mutation sprue or something along those lines?

Just wanted to chime in and say how thankful I am for your release of the shotguns from the Trench Raiders lineup, very impressed! Now getting my hands on some of those phase carbines for some count-as ratlings

but.. the Rhinos...


@Warpig and Barzam,

Regarding the dressuniform, you can see the legs in the regiments designer

regiments-designer.com

We are doing 3 different torsos including one with the napolenic style "cross straps".

There are so many diffferent possible styles of historical "fancy helmet" that we cant do all of them, but we will be releasing around 6-10 different head sprues, hopefully with options to suit everyones needs.
We will have a few sci-fi styled visors/re-breather options.

@Freddy - Yes we will make Pith helms, Ive just reviewed the various other companies which make pith helms (there are quite a few) and our version will be cheaper and have more options, so its well worth it.
We also sell the torsos, arms, legs etc to complete the miniatures which not all our competitors do.

@Mlaw - we are not 100% sure what the plans are with the cultist/traitor militia, but some kind of mutated parts are certain to feature, likey a "mutant arm" and "mutant heads" sprues for conversion.

I'd also like to make some Regiments zombie parts.

@Zontarz - very impressive work there! Thanks for sharing the photo.

@Joel
The legs in the "dress" variants look really great!
A very good compromise of different styles.
Indeed there are many different headgear variants.

Some suggestions

Shako and cavalry/fancy helmet are definitely what I would be looking forward to. A pikelhaub would go nicely with the trench fighter range, especially if there were a version of it with a helmet cover. Any plans for a fancy cuirass too, or just stick with the Medieval Torso?

@Anvils Hammer - Thanks for the reply, it's nice to see a mini company interacting with it's customers!

Obviously, you won't be able to please everybody and as you say, the era has such a huge array of headgear being worn, but I'd suggest:



That list of 9 covers the majority of military styles, both Infantry and Cavalry, from roughly 1800 to 1914. Throw in a tricorn and you could take it back to 1700. Perhaps you could even tool them in such a way that you could buy the faces or visors separate from the headgear, as you have with the Trench Irregular heads.

Anyway, I've got way too excited for my own good here - keep up the awesome stuff!

I'd like to see crested helmets similar to this style worn by the Bavarians as well as cavalry of many nations during the naloleonic wars.
