Loving those Rhinos! If I still had my LoTR stuff I would add a bunch to an Easterling army as they would fit right alongside the elephants.

Anvil, couple of questions if I may...

1. Any not-Rough Riders planned for the future?

2. Any thoughts on not-Genestealer Cult Acolyte head options for the Regiments?

Morning all,

Thanks for the many suggestions!

Belgic shako seems to be a popular choice so I have added that to the list, rather than respond individually to all suggestions (but I have looked at all the links, thanks!) its easier to just give the list of what we are planning.

Pickelhaube Helmet     
Pickelhaube Shock Mask   
Tricorne Heads
Adrian Helmets   
Adrian Gasmask    
Pith Helmet
Pith Helmet Gasmask
Bear skin Cap
BearSkin Visor/mask
Parade Cap
Belgic Shako
Cavalry helmet (metal crest)

Thats 11 separate sprues, which is about the maximum sensible number to include in any one release, so other styles are possible in future, but not with the first wave of dress uniform stuff.

As well as the legs which are already done, we are also doing 3 new torsos, including a more decorative Cuirass armour plated torso, a hussar style torsos with all the banding (commissar style) and the napoleonic cross straps torso.

@Warpig1815 - separate hats would certainly allow for a huge number of variants, but the irregular heads were an experiment and I am not totally sure I would want to do it again, they are fiddly!

@Nostrodamus - Yes we are going to likely do a small Kickstarter for regiments cavalry - parts to convert the infantry, and a range of different mounts.

Alien hybrid heads for the regiments are planned, along with some beast men heads.

Attached is a VERY WIP render of our modular Beowulf modular assault tank. I started the design yesterday because it was my birthday and I like tanks.. but I probably wont get a chance to do more work on it until late september now.

I know it should only have 1 drive sprocket. Rule of Cool applied liberally...

Under normal circumstances, I only buy GW products for 40k but I can definitely see why so many people are choosing to use 3rd party models from Anvil Industries. As someone who has been patiently waiting (2 decades) for GW to come out with plastic infantry models for the old guard regiments, I'm seriously considering just saying F it & buy some models from you guys.

Thanks for the answers, sounds great! Also it appears we have the same birthday

You should, the Regiments line is AMAZING.

If the sci-fi Napoleonic stuff becomes a reality then that would be great! I'd want at least 100, probably closer to 200!

Make it happen Anvil!

Cheers

Well, you just made my morning, Joel. Sounds like an awesome batch of releases coming. Dress uniforms to release around October or so?

Also, I just noticed that those guys in the tank pic look to be using militia bits.

Well, that last announcement has made my day, nay, year! Belgic Shakos (With visors?) and cross straps - totally awesome!

I'm 100% certain I'll be putting in an order when they come about, along with the metal crested cavalry helmet and cuirass torso.

The Private Military Contractors are shaping up to be our largest Regiments release so far!

These guns are not compatible with our regular rifle arms, so will be sculpted and cast with PMC arms attache

Love the KSG. My friend has one and we've shot it several times. Kicks like a mule but it's a freakin beast!

That actually has the potential to be very frightening looking.

3 new torsos, including a more decorative Cuirass armour plated torso

I like the sound of that as well.

Cavalry helmet (metal crest)

Especially with this.

@Nostrodamus - Yes we are going to likely do a small Kickstarter for regiments cavalry - parts to convert the infantry, and a range of different mounts.

I was just thinking that this sounded like a major project.

Any chance of seeing a list of what sort of weapons will be released in the PMC wave? I've seen a few so far (Specifically the picture two posts above, and another on the FB page), but maybe there's more? It's either the Not-G36C or Not-HK417 that's catched my interest the most so far

A Tavor, and a P-90? Oh Anvil, you spoil us.

And any good old not AK-47/74 ?

Well I'm waiting for a bit.

Those Engineers I got were nice and all but gas mask pith helmets sound amazing. Combining the awesomeness of pith helmets with the lack of faces because I suck at painting.

Will the dress uniforms include epaulette arms?

I might have to get in on the Kickstarter.

Pity the safeties are on for the AK and MP5

Morning all,

@Commissar Benny - I am confident you will not be disapointed if you choose to use our Regiments range. Let me know if there is any particular look or style you are after and I can advise if and when we might add that kind of part to the range.

@Theyredeaddave and Barzam-

Dress Uniform stuff is provisionally penciled in for a Late September launch.

Yes the Tank scale model is a militia guy

@Warpig - At the moment the Shako heads will not get a visor version the first wave. Its an option at some point but 10 head styles in one go is about as many as is sensible.

@Mlaw thanks for posting that up! You have Adam to thank for the KSG, he suggested it and was very keen to see it made!

@Custodian - We will be releasing the legs, torsos and heads in a few days time, as "wave 1", and at the same time we will put up a render of all the stuff to be included in wave 2.

@NivlacSupreme - We will release separate Epaulets, like our current shoulder pads, which can be added to any style of arm.


@Nostradamus - thanks for pointing that out - Being British I don't have any experience with guns in the real world, and obviously the reference images I used had the safety on (for very good reasons!)

For saving me some embarrassment (Ill change the files before we 3D print them) you've won yourself a couple of free weapon sprues, I've PM'ed you.


Thanks all!

Will/are they (be) compatible with regiments arms?
I don´t know what "safeties" mean, but I hope i won't stop them from being produced by Anvil Industries

A 'safety' is a switch/button/etc that, when engaged, prevents the gun from firing - for safety reasons, like not wanting to accidentally shoot yourself, the safety is usually 'on' when the weapon is not being used or about to be used.

I'm no gun expert, but apparently the models shown above all have their safeties 'on'.

Since most people will want to model these on miniatures engaged in hostilities...

Ah, thank you for clearing this out.

@Anvilhammer,
With the Napoleonic regiments wave are there any plans to do some kind of volley gun, like say the seven barreled nock gun?

Also just received a batch of the trench coat legs and some then guns and mg42s. Have to say you guys have done a cracking job.
Thanks

The MP5 is missing its flappy paddle magazine release. Without that it's a civilian model with a fake barrel shroud on it. Give me free stuff!

Only kidding, I've had budget set aside for these for ages. Just tell me when!

@Vostok - dont worry, they will certainly still be produced, and they will be fully compatible with regiments arms!

@sierra 1247 - thanks very much, I am glad you like the parts!

I've just googled the Nock Gun, very interesting weapon, but no current plans for anything like that.

We are going to do a set of ornate sabres and revolvers for officers, but have no current plans for new weapons otherwise.

The Trench Phase Carbine will likely be the most appropriate weapon for most dress uniform figures, I would imagine.

hi there!

Anvil I would like to order quite a large amount of your stuff very soon and was wondering, when can expect the jungle/PMC fighters?

I am waiting for the awesome stuff to come out before putting my order !

Thank you so much for your amazing work once again!

Legs, Torsos and Heads will be available in a couple of days time, we are just building example models.

The arms and modern weapons (which require a lot more sprues and moulds) will be in a wave 2, which should be available in 3-4 weeks time.

Unless something goes horribly wrong, everything should be available by the end of August at the latest.

The entire project is overrunning by a few months due to some mechanical problems with our 3D printer, and also a whole load of new stuff we keep adding to the release list!

splendid, thanks for the update!

Will the 3D squad builder be updated with the new parts?

I second this

Looks like they're adding an Uzi, MP5, Mac 10, and Skorpion to the lineup

That's not an Uzi, that's a TEC-9.
