Morning all,

@Iron Angel - yes we are actively working on Traitors/Renegades for a release next year some time.

@Aesthete - Yes we are planning a full range of female Regiments parts, 50+ different sprues. Most likely a Kickstarter project for the entire range, roughly penciled in for February.

Female heads will likely be made available before then.

Did you guys ever do a sprue of gun sights and accessories?
I seem to recall it but I can’t seem to find it on your site right now…

*boop*

And the regiments version which I think you may be refering to, which is here -

Wave 3 is up! Looks brilliant.

Link for those of us who are lazy?

There you go, mate

There's a lot of beautiful stuff there... My body is ready for some germanic guardsmen. All heil the pickelhaube!

Thanks

Joel - you have outdone yourself with the dress uniform release. I think you may well have the best range of 28mm military/imperial guard analogues on the market now. Just stunning. Tempted to start a whole new IG army every time I visit the site.

Those are really really good, can't wait to see what you come up with for Renegades

Same here.

I just hope these will be generic renegades and not more nurgle or khorne aligned stuff.

I would for sure be interested.

Argh I always wanted to do a guard army based on the white dwarf where they recreated Zulu but was put off by the cost of the metals.

This is tempting me though.

Yep, people need a good solid core of basic cultists which are not heavily aligned to one aesthetic - that's an untapped market considering how important cultists are to many CSM armies, etc.

They could always make generalist bits with some specific ones to each God

Is there any known date for the ‘widow maker carbines’ to come back into stock? I was ordering a load of bits but don’t want to make a separate order if I can get those at the same time. Thanks

Morning All,

Yes the Dress Uniform Regiments release is finally available, taking the total number of unique combinations to over ONE MILLION!

CLICK HERE for the new stuff

@GloomyFenix - Thanks for posting the link up!

@I-bounty-hunt - I am afraid not, no. We are super busy between now and the end of January dealing with Black Friday and Christmas orders, so its likely we wont be fully caught up on mould making until the end of February at the earliest. Its possible it wont come back in stock before its replaced by an updated version when we revamp the Exo-Lords range, which is planned for next year some time (along with umpteen other projects)

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


Regarding discussion of Renegades and Cultists - You will all be pleased to know that design work has already started - we are releasing 3 styles of body - Robed, Boiler Suit and armoured, plus various styles of heads, shoulder pads and other bits.

This will allow the creation of a large number of generic but awesome looking models which depending on choice of heads/equipment, could fill a huge range of roles in different background settings.

We will make some heads and shoulder pads for people wanting to make renegades who are either really angry or really sick...

We've not got a firm release date yet, but it will be first half of 2018.

Excellent news and excellent releases as always.

I've made an initial order of 5 with breastplates and gas mask/ pith helmets just to test the water. Once happy (and I'm sure I will be), a Platoon order will be highly likely to follow.

I love your tracked heavy weapon carriages but they're not recommended for the howitzer barrel are they?

Would love to see the Regiments Mechanical Arm Conversion set and the multi-pose bionic legs back in stock, seems like ages.

This stuff is great, 99% nailed this release. Put my order in for a small platoon earlier today, no doubt will be the first of many if the quality is anything like all the other Anvil products I have bought.

Looking forward to seeing some horses to go with those Hussar bodies now.......

Thats awesome news thank you very much.

Are there any other of your Dress Uniform line coming, or the possibility of another wave in the future? While I love the line, I was really hoping for Shako heads with gasmasks, for extra variety, and for dress uniform pants with the pant leg over the boots and no jacket bottom showing.

Love those dress uniforms! May have to get some someday.

+1, especially the different trousers. I do like the look they’ve gone for (evidenced by my order placed earlier today) but would have preferred this look instead. I assume they went with it because it goes with the other heads (especially the Pith style).

It's great for people looking for alternate/more extensive lines of Mordian, Vostroyan, or Praetorians, but I was looking for more of a grimdark Napoleonic British/French look. In which case, a slightly more embellished torso (midway between the Hussar torso and the Cross Belt torso) that still had the crossed belts would also be fantastic.

Morning All,

Thanks for feedback and suggestions!

@Alphaecho - The Howitzer can work on the tracked platform, it just looks a bit silly in my mine because the recoil would probably knock it over.

@Skyven - the aim for the first part of next year is to get all products back in stock, and then keep them in stock, but tricky to keep moulds for 400+ products update and remade just when the previous mould wears out, we are still learning!

@Theredeaddave - We would like to do cavalry at some point, but I have no realistic idea when that might happen. In the meanwhile Mad Robot Miniatures have recently released some horses which might be suitable. I've used GW Bretonnian knights to make rough riders in the past, if they still make that kit...

No plans to make plainer dress uniform legs currently, but I will consider it for the future, We have a few other styles of leg which are much higher priority.

@Narandin - There is going to be a Dress Uniform mini wave early next year with some officer upgrade parts, cloaks and a few other bits and pieces, I'll try and do a Shako gasmask set.

So Looking Cool vs Newton's Laws of Motion?

I'm sure I can find a compromise.

Quick question for anybody in the know - Scale and proportion wise, how do the Unity Council armoured legs and arms look alongside Regiments heads and torsos? I'm making up an order now, but I'm leaning more towards the unity council legs than the regiments armoured ones.

May I suggest that if the Shako is to get a visor at some point, a variant with the Veteran Beret/PASGT mask would be excellent. IMHO, the SAS/WW1 Gas mask is great, but not everybody (myself included) wants a steampunk vibe. The Veteran/PASGT mask sets a more sci-fi/modern tone, more in line with the Cadian and Kasrkin aesthetic.

I'd also second the notion of some alternative dress legs - perhaps without the tunic bottoms molded on and with armoured gaiters? Of course, I'm just wishlisting...

Cool that we're getting some capes for these guys. May I suggest one that covers one arm/shoulder? At least one with feathers around the collar would be cool, too. For other, future suggestions, how about some avian themed mutations? I'd love a powerfist alternative that's an arm mutated into a bird's claw. I'd also like to suggest some visored masks for the cavalry helms in the future. Something more streamlined and high tech looking rather than the typical gas masks.

Probably already asked / answered, but how do the regiments figures scale against new Necromunda or Genestealer Neophyte Hybrids? I'm thinking of using some of the Militia / PMC Modern parts for Enforcers...
