**MOTN**

Just updated the blog with a few new WIP bits and pieces, including:

Test sculpts (that won't be cast, but show the design of future sculpts)

Borderer Grenadiers

Fallen Dwarves

**SickSix**

Fracking good!

**frozenwastes**

Those fallen dwarves are excellent.

**Kroothawk**

Even when all poses are meant to be stiff, I find the modelling of the knees odd. 9 test models and only one knee bend (on a forward curved upper leg it seems), but in reality you can see the knee even with straight legs. And long coats are cut straight, so one expects folds where the belt is, not a conical cut widening towards the feet. Just some feedback by me.

**WingWong**

I MUST HAVE THE CULTISTS. I CAN ONLY SPEAK IN CAPS DUE TO THEIR AWESOMENESS. JOEL, SEND ME ALL OF THEM!

Great work from a great company. Fastest shipping imaginable and amazing service. Great casts too!"

**MOTN**

Some amateur photos of my amateur paint jobs have gone up on the blog. Can't wait to see what other people have done with these minis!

**frozenwastes**

** jaw drops **

Those look awesome.

**Azazelx**

Very nice work on the paint there. Looking good!

**WingWong**

Looking good... Balance the photos in Photoshop if you want them to look even better - the sepia seems a bit strong

Out of interest, how do heads from other manufacturers scale with the boderers? Due to their excellent thin scaling, I am interested if anything else fits - particularly thinking GW, Pig Iron, Maxmini, Micro art etc. I like the borderers but I don't have a need for the gas mask heads

**mwnciboo**

Yup they are officially awesome.

**Anvils Hammer**

Hey everyone,

Anvil Industry is back from our brief Hiatus and ready to rock and roll..
We should have all orders dispatched within the next 48 hours, then I will be focusing on the next lot of MOTN releases which Im expecting in the post shortly.

IceSword - they look awesome! cant wait to see them in the flesh, and get me those techno dudes I saw in the blog!

@WingWong - the Borderer heads are quite small, look on the previous page of this thread for a comparison to a few other miniatures.
I dont know of any heads from the manufacturers you mention which would fit, but as soon as I get alternative heads from IceSword I will make the new options available, I think all the heads from his range will be mostly interchangable.

Cheers,

Joel

**WingWong**

Thanks Joel, awesome service as usual. Keep up the good work and sexah casting.

Any chance you could go down to Forgeworld and show them how it's done? While you're at it, pop into GW and give them a step by step for their finecast

**Anvils Hammer**

@Wingwong, thanks very much! Ive not been invited to advise any other companies on their manufacturing process as yet.. which means more time to get my own products spot on!

Some updates-

Here are some shots of the Borderers IceSword posted earlier, we have an awesome camera and lighting rig to really show them off!

And the fearless Investigator

and... NEW Cromantians - available to order now for dispatch from next monday/tuesday onward.

see the new product with more photos here-
http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_92&product_id=186

The next MOTN release, the "fallen dwarves" will be available in a couple of weeks time.

I also have a "Sneak Peak" of some new Steam Lord components in the words, which IceSword is sculpting for me-

These "Warrior Monks" will not be available untill next month some time, but thought people would want to see anyway.

Cheers,

Joel

**rhodry**

idd the monk looks cool

**Commander Cain**

Yes please for some warrior monks!

**Azazelx**

hmm.. interesting. veeeery interesting.

**AegisGrimm**

They are looking interesting, though I have to admit that I like the originals just as much because you get to see all the armor that looks like early-pattern armor.

**ImperialArmoury**

Absolutely fantastic sculpts as always, keep it up.

**warpcrafter**

Love the fearless investigator, now you need to do one of the after version, after he's found what he was looking for and is a morphine-addicted mental patient. ("The most merciful thing, I think, is the inability of the Human mind to correlate its contents...")

**Anvils Hammer**

Cheers guys!

@Warpcrafter, Icesword will certainly consider it im sure!!

Very exciting news for Anvil Industry-

Im typing this post from our NEW PREMISES in London.

Anvil Industry started off in my garden shed, so this is a big step for the company and we couldnt have got this far without the support of all our customers, so THANK YOU for your support!

At the moment everything is still being sorted and organised and things will be a bit manic for the next few weeks leading up to the COLOURS wargaming show, which we are looking forward to attending!

From Mid september onward, things will have calmed down a bit, and the extra space we now have will allow Anvil Industry to get working on a massive ammount of new products!

I look forward to sharing the details with you guys as soon as we have WIP's, sketches, or even random ideas to post up.

Cheers,

Joel

**mwnciboo**

Congratulations, I hope it works out well and goes from strength to strength, given the quality of product I have bought from you in the past I have no qualms about your products.

**Charax**

sweet, can I come visit you guys down in London?

I haven't attended Colours since it moved to Newbury, but great to see you branching out to more shows!

**SickSix**

I think it is incredibly awesome to watch these 'garage businesses' grow before my eyes.

Best of luck to Anvil Industries.

Hopefully soon my real life will allow me to sneak in the order I have been wanting for a while now.

**Nuclear Mekanik**

Only just discovered the Anvil Industries website (via this thread) holy crap, there's some awesome kit on there, will definitely be purchasing some of these bits and pieces, and I have a feeling those pretty bases are going to start making my Orks very expensive!! Ho hum, they're just so much better than anything I can come up with for basing, that I just don't care!! *Skips away in over-excited, heel-clicking glee* *realises everyone on Dakka is watching, straightens up, clears throat and tries to act cool whilst walking away muttering prayers to Gork, Mork and the Holy Throne*

**lone dirty dog**

Good luck and best wishes to the future

Cant wait to see this business expand and I am sure great stuff will follow

More Human scale kits please

**rhodry**

Grats on moving and Anvil growing. Just a quick question are there any plans for terminator size of your medieval size pauldrons

**4oursword**

I'll be placing an order fairly soon, and I cannot wait! Your stuff looks to be awesome quality, and I could not fault any of it.

One request I have is for some none-solid-shot ranged weapons, such as laser pistols or more esoteric weaponry. But regardless, I'll be getting a lot of bits and pieces and I look forward to it.

Awesome work!

**nathanie1**

seriously great minis, amazing work!

**Anvils Hammer**

Hey Everyone,

Thanks very much for your kind words!

New product coming in a few days, honest!

@charax, yep Salute was a lot of fun, so we are trying a few others, Colours is smaller but hopefully that means we will have a chance to actually talk to customers rather than being rushed of our feet!

@LDD, yep, as you know, human scale stuff is coming!

@Rhodry, yes Ill be making that at some point.

@4oursword, a selection of energy weapons is on the drawing boards, including laser/pulse rifles.

back to the modelling desk I go! which is now convenienly located right behind the computer desk, I just have to turn the chair round!

Cheers,

Joel

**Pacific**

Excellent news, congratulations on the expansion of business!

Have to say the bits I received were absolutely perfect, wonderful little examples of casting and no errors.

Hope you don't mind me posting this here Anvil's Hammer, I used some of your bits to make a techno-barbarian/lightning-warrior, he is in spoilers below (for some idea of what you can do with the various bits)
