Is it cheaper to buy the custom platoon than buying a few different custom squads?

I find the platoon bit kind of overwhelming.

Evening folks,

@Barzam - I hate to disappoint, the dinosaur was a "that would be cool in the artwork" addition, rather than a concrete plan for an upcoming product.. but if enough people are interested we may get around to it.

@Elbows - The trooper in question is currently standing out in no mans land reciting the Litany of True Aim, and will do so for a further three days before being allowed to rest.

@Gloomy Fenix - perhaps it will be ready before my next birthday? I cant promise anything.


@nivlac - its a little cheaper, but not massively so. As an example a 45 man platoon with no extras would be £112, but £118 if you bought a command squad and 4 10 man squads, again with no extras. There are also some discounts built into extra weapons and equipement.

Essentially, you save some money because its easier for us to pack a larger order of broadly similar models.

If you want to use the platoon builder, you can always email with questions and I will do my best to clarify.


Dress Uniform release coming really soon!!

I am greatly looking forward to the release of fabulous moustaches

Soon we'll be able to re-enact "Carry on up the Kyber". We just need some kilts for the devils in skirts

Anvil I notice that you've got a lot of parts that are interchangeable with Ad-Mech guys, but I am wondering if you'll be making alternate arms, legs, heads or weapons for them that look specifically in their style? I love your Tesla Disintegrator Rifles, and would want to use some for my miniatures, but converting current Skitarii Vanguard to have them holding them would be extremely tricky as their guns are held at different angles, and have the left hand molded permanently to the gun. The arms you have available are great, but look more fleshy and Imperial Guard than android-like. Any chance for some robotic style arms and open robotic hands so we can have a more Ad-Mech look to our conversions? Cheers!

I'd love to have some mounts for riders which aren't horses.

Anvil - any plan to bring back human scale bionics? I really liked your bionic legs and arms that you used to do.

Morning folks,

@Fenriswulf and Plessiez

As you both asking much the same question, Yes we have sculpted a number of regiments bionic leg, arm and head conversion parts, which will be release quite soon.

robotic "rifle arm" sprues to allow an entire unit to carry rifles wit cybernetic arms are planned at some point, but will be in a bionics wave 2 most likely. (Its possible we will get them done for the first wave).

Awesome! Gotta love it when parts makers listen to feedback! Looking forward to checking them out when you release them

Edit: If you're also able to make alternate magazines for weapons like the Skitarii Galvanic rifle (more like a Lee Enfield/Transuranic Arquebus one would look good), then I would be even more happy. Not a fan of the revolving cylinder for Skitarii guns.

Shame, no dinosaurs. Still, I'm eagerly awaiting this release. The sallet helm is unexpected. I guess now we'll be able to make these guys.

Very fancy.

At first, miss-read the current title of the thread as "Regiments Dress Unicorns coming soon!"


I'm almost a little disappointed to learn I was mistaken. Nice models thought!

Very yes.

They look great- so much gilt!

Hello affordable Praetorians.

Spectacular work coming out of Anvil lately! I'm holding out for the bionics at the moment but those dress uniforms are going to be hard to resist.

Any chance of sneaking some more Ancient style stuff into a later wave? I'm waiting to build my Prospero Spireguard army until someone gives me some nice Assyrian style helms and I suspect that with the dress uniforms and some of the trench fighter stuff I would be able to create something amazing!

Will we see Necromunda specific parts eventually?

Well hello there!


(From a long time Praetorian collector always on the lookout for something new)

Evening all,

@Fenriswulf - I'm afraid separate mags in regiments scale is unlikely at the moment. We do some for Exo-Lords which are larger but might work.

@Barzam - Thanks for posting up the photo!

@Commander Cain - Bionics should be out some time in January hopefully (could take longer) They will be the next release after Dress Uniform and the Christmas break.

Thanks for the helmet suggestion. Its unlikely any time soon, but I'll certainly consider it for a future wave.

@Kingrickrich - Generic Gang fighter parts (which we could make without being sued for Trademark infringement :p), are a possibility but not a high priority at the moment.

@Alpheacho - Hello!

@Alpheacho - Hello!

Got any exact dates for release?

Do you work with Mad robot miniatures at all? because those bearskin heads you put out look almost exactly like the ones mad robot have done, aswell as the turban heads?

@Nivlac - No exact date for anything. We have stopped giving out release dates, even rough estimates, because we missed them with such embarrassing frequency!

@STG - Nope we are not affiliated with Mad Robot.

I am aware that they've recently release bearskin and turban heads, but it's a coincidence that ours are coming out around the same time.
There are only so many ways to design a heroic scale bearskin, turban, or any other product based on historical reference files, so its inevitable that some of our products will look very similar.

The same goes for any other company producing human scale parts based on real world stuff


ALL - Ive just put up a competition on our Facebook page, a chance to win 10 of the figures shown below, shipped asap before the main release.

Thanks

Fantastic, love the helmet looks a bit like Bavarian from 1870 imho.

Cheers, fantastic work!

Edit: Any chance for tricorns? Chaos Cultists (male and female)?

damn thanks

I have done of the entering of the competition

It occurs to me that designing a rank system may have been slightly overdoing it.

Loving your work Anvil. I'm waiting for a recent order in the world, but some of these new bits may well result in more orders soon.

A question for you: are you likely to offer any female parts in the foreseeable future?

They’ve said they would before.
