That does look very nice, and interesting for some objective markers or vehicle detail. Gotta admit, I'm kinda hoping for loose printable versions of that AK lasgun though.

Edit: I know about the resin ones, just already have arms for the models I want to use without stocks, and getting enough stocks to fit the 5 on the sprue without stocks is pricey...still considering it though.

Morning all!

@Carlos13th - thanks for your kind words! We are doing our best to keep operating as normal.

@samsonov - modular 28mm true scale gets very fiddly as the parts are so thin! I'll have a think about it though.

@RiTides - we are doing our best to design the 3D models FOR 3D printing beginners - this means wherever we can designing the models to minimise the number of supports needed.

We also hope to provide pre supported versions which we have tested ourselves in house.

@ Vejut - We are not going to do the AK as a digital file for now, but we will do the new Phase Rifle, so I'll look at uploading just a stock..

We should also really sell resin gun stocks separately, I'll try and organise a sprue of those at some point.

Our ANVIL DIGITAL FORGE is now open!!

Click HERE for High quality home printable Anvil Industry Miniatures!

Just got the email about the Digital Forge going live, it looks great!! And over 100 patrons already

https://www.patreon.com/anvildigitalforge

And some presupported versions sounds like a great idea! More than anything I'd love a tutorial video showing how you do your cleanup / postprocessing though (or just an example video if you're doing anything you don't want to reveal). Would be so helpful!!

In!

Pretty cool stuff I'm seeing there, and that preview looks amazing

Will the STLs come 'pre-supported' for printing?

Morning all,

Yes now on 150 Patrons, which is great!

We are still figuring out exactly the best way to do it, but YES we will be offering both unsupported and pre supported versions of the files.

At the moment only unsupported are available to download, but by the end of the month I hope to have supported files sorted and most importantly TEST PRINTED to check they work!

We got our first batch of mniis from the Patreon (other than the welcome pack, that is), and I'm very happy with the quality of the stuff:



The only thing I find somewhat lacking (and that I don't know whether it could be possible to add) is a lack of unarmored torsos without heads, and that's mainly because I have stls here for Cobra troopers and I feel those could work really well here

All in all, very happy patron here.

More terrain is always good.

This looks like good value as Patreons go and is well executed plus I like Anvil as a company and hope to see them do well. But I think there is already a bit of a saturation of Krieg-esque masked guards in greatcoats from a range of suppliers. Hopefully other months branch out into areas that are a bit more creative.

Well I hadn’t paid attention because there was no way I was getting a 3D printer. Well I got one a month ago. I guess I better start looking at his offerings. Here I bought the printer to save money .

I don't have a resin printer, but my brother does, so he'll be producing figures for me. I backed it last night. I'm too late for these trench fighters, but June is supposed to be robots, and that sounds awesome to me.

Just a little question, will in the future be these models be purchaseable in the store?

Morning all!

@albertorius - Thanks for posting up the image and review!

@Theophony - welcome to the dark side

@Barzam - once we have figured out the best way to do it, previous months offerings will be available as individually purchasable STL's, alongside a number of products from our existing range.

@GloomyFenix - As Resin miniatures? Yes we certainly hope so! We just need to figure out the logistics as we are extremely short-staffed at the moment.

So when's that second wave of renegades coming?

Ogyrn with an Ogryn sized lewis gun? THE finest light machine gun of it's time? Damn fine choice.

I need to stop looking at this thread or I am going to end up ordering a 3d printer.

You should take the plunge...they are pretty great. FDM for structures and BIG things, SLA for normal miniatures.

Evening all,

Just a heads up that the AUTOMATA June Digital Forge release is available now, and you have until midnight Pacific TIme on July 1st to sign up, so a day or so to go depending on your time zone!

Full details of what is included here (And some attached example renders plus a 3D test print I did earlier!)

AUTOMATA on the Anvil Digital Forge

Next month is Armoured Renegades including infantry and heavy weapons!

Thanks,

Joel

Got 'em! Looking good so far

The power hammer terrain piece is a nice nod to their name.

I can't be the only one who is absolutely gutted Afterlife now seems to have completely disappeared. I really, really wish I'd jumped in sooner with them.

Are there no 'last few' available in the depths of the stockroom? Would be great to pick up if poss. Aware Anvil has to focus on what's really selling at the moment to stay afloat though - I just wish the Forge was equally viable for those without access to 3D printers.

I wrote a bit about plans for Afterlife in our recent blog

https://anvilindustry.co.uk/when-can-i-buy-digital-forge-miniatures-in-resin

copied from the link :

What is the plan for AFTERLIFE?

After a few years on hiatus, we had originally intended to spend a part of this year figuring out the next steps for Afterlife. We planned to review the rules and game system and consider how we could expand the miniatures range. The Pandemic has meant unfortunately we have had to delay that process, and have withdrawn the range from sale temporarily.

We hope to make AFTERLIFE miniatures available again in the future, but do not yet know when we will get a chance to. Options include re-releasing old miniatures as they are, making improved versions of existing designs, making the miniatures available as 3D print-on-demand or in a digital format, and some other ideas.

-----

So, The disappearance is temporary. Ideally, the models will all get an update at some point and Id love to do some new ones! We just haven't had a chance to figure it out yet.

Is Anvil's website down? Got a message talking about 'essential maintenance' when I went to browse today. Hope everything's alright at Anvil Towers

yes it's broken for now, they posted on facebook earlier

Yeah something went awry overnight.

We've got it fixed but we are running some tests and restoring some data.

Should be up and running again soon.

And..........we're back!

Website is up and running again, but due to a hardware failure on our server we’ve have had to restore to a remote backup from 20 June :(

Don't panic! All orders that were placed since then have either shipped or will be shipped soon, but they will not appear in your account on the website, and if you created an account after 20 June you will need to do this again.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience, the tech gods have not been with us!!

This was shared by Kadmon in the Afterlife thread I created long ago;

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I was here. Things have been a bit mad with the Pandemic.

Just dropping in to mention our latest Digital Download offering on Patreon, the Light Mech, as I think a few people on here may be interested and there are a few days left to sign up to get it.

Sonic Sledgehammer on Youtube has done a comprehensive build and paint review on youtube HERE

and you can check out the Patreon post with a full preview HERE

and YES - for the majority of you with no printer we will be doing a resin version later in the year!!

Thanks all

Joel

That's fantastic. Very Avatar vibe, but in a good way.
