@GloomyFenix - Dont worry, Epaulettes are already half sculpted and due to be released with our "dress uniform" release, which is due at the end of next month or possibly October.
They will have to be quite chunky to work over the top of arms, but I think it can be done.

We are also releasing 2-3 new styles of shoulder pad so we will have at least 8 designs in total.

@Taarnak - We went for the ASIGA Pico 2 HD 27um

Still playing with the settings to get perfect prints, but really impressed so far.

With the dress uniform release will there be "normal" trousers? By that I mean just plain trousers without the stripe down the side.

Also any chance of arms with fancy cuffs but without the epaulettes?

Essentially what I'm after is Perry miniatures Napoleonic British line infantry but made out of your excellent resin and holding laser guns!

Cheers!

Speaking of trousers... Would there be any chance of some dress uniform legs wearing jodhpurs and riding boots?

I actually have a question and a few requests:

First off my question: I have a fullsized imperial 40k army and all my Soldiers are Anvil Minis. I recently decided to swap the heads on every single one of my guys because I found your republic grenadier heads and I loved em. I ordered a hundred of those but now the heads are not in your store anymore.

Does that mean I'll never get any more of these? I mean, I totally want my army to grow even further but I'm a little concerned now because I dont want any other heads but these.
Can you still make those on demand?

Also I'd love some more close combat weaponry for your regiments line. Chainswords and more Pistol Options would be nice. I found your current Pistols to be a little too small for my taste.

May I also recommend modular Commissar and Officer kits? I'm struggling a bit to build Officers from your range.

With the new popularity of 40ks Imperial guard you may want to look into Cavalry too. I've got some 3rd Party motorbikes and I'd love some "riding" stance legs and power Lances from you

Morning all,

@Theyredeaddave - No I am afraid the only arm options will be the fatigue arms, with various decorative shoulder pads including Epaulettes. We just dont have the resources to make that many new arm sets when each one requires 8 different moulds and more than 25 poses!

@Viking Child -Similarly with legs - The options will be the dress uniform with the stripe, or the existing fatigue legs for a more plain military style. We may release more legs in future, but I dont want to promise anything.

@Morkphoiz - We will probably not re-release the grenadier heads as they are, but its because we are planning to release a "regiments" version with an updated neck joint, and a slight upscaling to fit better. The size change and extra details will be small, so they should still look fine along side your existing troops. I am afraid I dont have a time scale for those at the moment.
If you dont want to wait, we can probably make/find some of the old grenadier heads, just send us an email with how many you need.

More close combat weapons are planned - we are going to do a "melee" range with new arms, and a massive selection of pistols, melee weapons and shields of various kinds. We are unlikely to make pistols much larger - I know ours are smaller than 40K ones, but I find those to be grossly oversized. We will keep it under consideration though.

More commissar and officer parts are already in development and will launch with our "dress uniform" range at the end of October.

Cavalry - both motorbikes, regular horses and various other more interesting mounts, is planned at some point, but I dont know exactly when.

Hi everyone -


In the wake of several high profile companies going out of business, I just wanted to check in to say Anvil Industry is doing fine - I've just been quiet on Dakka recently due to a few holidays, and frantic hard work on a few side projects and the upcoming PMC release.

The PMC wave 2 was planned for the end of last month, then around now.. and now probably 2-3 weeks time.

The delays are due to a few factors, but the main one is that we've added so many new sprues/options during the project, we are now looking at around 30 moulds. Some parts are in production and building stock, some parts need to be 3D printed still, which will all happen next week.

The good news is that in this case, the delay means the release will be even more awesome than originally planned.

Thanks for your patience!

The "Dress uniform" release, which has also ended up with loads more awesome parts than originally planned, is now penciled in for launch at the end of October, a one month delay.

Between now and then.. we have something special planned for Friday 13th of October, this years Halloween release started as an idea for "just some undead heads for regiments" and has spiralled out of control as fast as any zombie apocalypse!

We are now going to be releasing :

civilian undead
PMC/Modern military undead
Trenchcoat/WW2 undead
Radioactive mutants

Complete with lots of head and arm options, and all fully interchangeable and compatible with the regiments range.

Below is a preview render of the civilian undead!


There are lots of plastic zombie kits on the market, and we will not be able to sell ours as cheap as those kits, but our models will be in ultra high quality resin, and will be compatible with regiments, so will be great for making all kinds of mutant/undead armies of all kinds.

More previews and artwork will be released nearer the time.

The next proper release is still PMC wave 2.

Thanks all

Oh wow, zombies might be what tips me over into getting into Regiments. Are they actually going to be part of the Regiments system (so added to the options you can choose from in the builder) or just "compatible with" them (so the same scale and joints but bought separately)

What happened to all the amazing mechanical ig bits like arms and legs? So sad

I don't want to rush you to hurry up and release hooded robed cultist regiments...but hurry up and release hooded robed cultists regiments!

@Charax -

We are not sure yet.
They will be sold separately as mix and match zombie kits, and where possible, the separate parts will be put into the regiments squad builders as options, but we are not following the exact same format as the existing Regiments parts so not everything will work.

@HulkSmash - Regiments bionics are high priority.

Bionic Veteran Conversion parts (bionic arms, legs, heads etc) for existing styles will come first, hopefully in early November.
Full sets of Bionic arms, legs, torsos etc for making fully robotic regiments platoons will come later, I am not sure exactly when we will get around to it.

@Psychopomp - hooded/robed cultist regiments parts are also most definitely on our "to do" list.
I don't have a firm date yet. Sorry! There are so many different possibilitiyes for the Regiments range that at times the project seems to be without end - We will soon have 50 different head sprues options... and we will have 100 by the end of next year if it goes well..

You guys are... wow.

Just wow. You make better stuff than GW

Thanks Nivlac!


Its the weekend!

To celebrate, why not treat your 28mm miniatures to a beer...

http://anvilindustry.co.uk/bottle-beer-wine-spirits-broken-glass

and your opponents miniatures to a cocktail...

http://anvilindustry.co.uk/molotov-cocktail-petrol-bomb

Very cool, not sure that sort of thing is available elsewhere.

Thanks Joel. Just loved the old ones so much and I'm back to working on stuff that could use them and when I saw they were gone I got sad

Ha, that's a neat little release. I bet it would be a fun project doing a bunch of protesters. How hard would it be to have those hands just holding bottles of alcohol though?

Bottles are awesome

What are the chances of them coming in clear resin .....

Bit of sanding and trimming to remove some flames?

Love those bottles. Can use them for my USSR bolt action army!

Damnit don't you guys take enough of my money? Broken bottles would look good on my ruined cityscape bases though...

Positioned right, those flames become alcohol mid pour☺️

Regiments PMC wave 2 is now available to order!

I am doing a live Q&A on facebook for the next hour (7.30-8.30 pm GMT)

https://www.facebook.com/AnvilIndustry

And the new stuff is here

Thanks all!

The load bearing vests turned out amazing! They're exactly what I was hoping for. Amazing selection of new bits. I'll be placing an order tonight.

As we made them specially at your request, I am glad you like them!

Hopefully they'll be a popular choice. It's good to have an option beteeen the rigid armor and the basic fatigue torso.

I noticed that the custom squad builder for guys with shoulder mounted weapons is missing. Will it be back up?

yeah. I'm going to combine the missing squad builders with existing ones, to make things simpler, so the shoulder weapons will be options in the normal heavy weapon squad.

realistically it will be monday before I get around to it now.. I am tired and need to go to bed!

So much awesome, definitely worth the wait.

I think the pistols are possibly an understated MVP for the release.

Bloody hell Joel you have out done your self this time, so much so I don't know what to order due to cash flow I have to choose but what

I've been using the exo lord parts in conjunction with my mkiii marines to great sucesss - really enjoying them. I was about to place another order but some of the stuff I wanted is out of stock robed torsos, character mele weapons... is this stuff coming back - or will the refresh of exo lords mean new stuff will replace these parts?

I waited a while for melee arms to come in stock bought 30 when they did.

Guessing the main focus is the PMC and exolord bits when they have a breather.

Hi Everyone,

This is only really relevant to people in/around London, but we have a Job opening for someone to join our Resin casting team, and we may have more roles coming up in future.

Full details here - CAREERS AT ANVIL

Zombies -

Hot on the heels of our PMC/Modern release, I can announce that a full range of living dead/zombie parts will be launching next week! We've had loads of fun sculpting them over the past month, and I'll get some photos up soon!

The range will include modern civilian and military zombies, plus Trench Fighter zombies, and all the parts will be fully compatible with most regiments bits, so the modelling options are huge.

Ooh zombies, will be great for Chaos conversions.
