Evening all.

We have been super busy lately with finishing the Kickstarter (now complete) and moving to our new studio, which is mostly complete!

Apologies for the rather sporadic updates and releases in the past year or so. We hope to do better in future.

Exo-Lord revamp -

First wave hopefully end of September, with a second wave before Christmas possibly. We will put out more information nearer the time.

They will indeed be exclusively in the 40mm ish scale, comparable in size with newer and bigger offerings from elsewhere. We may look at offering some parts in a smaller scale closer to our old models, but its not certain.

Heads, pads, backpacks, guns etc will be compatible with both old and new scales still.

Afterlife reissue-

aiming to get all the existing products back in stock before the end of the year, with updated and new miniatures available in 2020 along with an updated ruleset.

Daughters retail launch -

It might be just before Christmas 2019, but Q1 2020 is more likely.

Renegades wave 2 -

Due before Christmas, but I cant be more specific at the moment unfortunately.


Thanks all.

Any chances of seeing some preview pictures of the Exo-Lord update here?

On that subject, glued together fingers aside (my clumsiness), can I say how much I've enjoyed receiving the Daughters Kickstarter products. The Arch Angel in particular is a fantastic model. I may have to pick up a Death at retail.

Do I remember rightly that you intend to release medieval regiment arms?

WOW
Found this on Anvil's Instagram acount:



Top notch!!

Now is there the possibility to get some heads with boonie hats? Or can I wishlist: Baseball cap and beard?

Well, I'm pretty sure he does already make both head types for Regiments. I doubt there's too significant of a difference in size.

I know that he does already make them for the regiments range.

With the Black Ops he made the heads bigger and bulkier than the regiments ones.

And these rendered miniatures are going to be Primaris size going by the sniper.
So, yes I hope he is going to do them.

Realy great models with superb detail, very little cleanup and no Castingshow flaws.

Edit: you have to click in the picture. Much better quality directly in the gallery

Actually, some time ago you made a poll, have you ever discussed the results of that?

Hello everyone,

@Crimson - I'll try and get better at updating this page! I've become lazy because others are so good at doing it for me. We've not actually shared a lot of previews yet.

@alphaecho - Thanks very much! Glad you are enjoying them

@Ragsta - It's not hugely likely that we will release medieval regiments arms - the fatigue and robed arms we already do are both pretty good options, as are the renegade arms for a certain style of medieval warrior, so I am not sure how we would make them different enough to be worthwhile..

@Miniholic and Barzam - New stuff is bigger, new heads are bigger, but its quite easy to rescale regiments heads to be a little bigger, so its likely a fair few design styles will make their way across. No firm plans yet.

@Ragnar69 - Thanks for sharing! They look great

@Not Online!!! - We did, and I intended to do and will do in future when we get a chance (See below).


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


More general update on Company happenings -

We have now moved across into our new studio. Lots of sorting and organising to do still but things are fully operational and orders are going out the door in good time.

We have a few more weeks more organising and resting to do, so I anticipate starting to gear things up a bit in September. As we have had almost 2 years of being very Kickstarter focused, we are looking forward to spending some time on our existing ranges and re-releasing some old favorites including the exo-lord range.

Happy to answer any more specific questions anyone may have

Thanks

Joel

Thanks for the info, Anvil! Makes sense re. arms, I think maybe I dreamt the medieval thing and it confused me

Yes, please share more previews! And I think it’s good that you’re taking a break from the kickstarters to be quite honest.

The medieval helmets are a cool option - are there any thoughts to release some without the face mask so we can see some humanity in there?

Hadn't realised until very recently, when I needed a pilot and crew for a 'ship-to-ship shuttle', the conversion potential of the 'regiments' range...

Oh wow that looks incredible dwartist, the detail you put into each model never ceases to amaze!

Those are awesome!!!

These are our new Black Ops models

Dwartist, being both an excellent customer and excellent painter, got a box of pre-release models to work on, and i am very excited to see the finished result!

The release of the new Black Ops is scheduled for some time in the next month hopefully. We are waiting on the launch of our new website which will have a lot of new features.

There are a LOT more photos of the Black Ops sprues on Dwartists blog here:

Anvil, I have a head request for you. Any chance of getting some more space suit helmets? I'd love having a variety of astronaut helmets for my Genestealer Cult, but nobody seems to make any aside from your armored gothic space helmets.

This. Nobody makes anything close to a MK50 Pressure Suit!

Nice.

Are you considering to produce some bigger pieces: like Artillery?
F.E: something along the line of a LEFH 18 or other contemporaries?

Gotta be honest, not a fan of the new Black OPs models. Too generic sci-fi for me I think. I loved the older steam knight exo-lord armor variants. But this totally falls flat for me.

Want to put an order in with Anvil soon but all the previews make me want to wait until the next thing comes out to order that too.

Good god the work on there is outstanding. Am now eagerly awaiting the black ops range even more.

Anvil, are you going to be doing Black Friday Grab Bags this year?
I just want to check, otherwise I can place an order regardless.

Yes, assuming we can get our act together, a number of grab bags (not sure how many) should be available on the day.

Last year when we announced it we crashed our server. We are about to launch a new website which will hopefully fare better.

We are also releasing the Daughters of the Burning Rose models from our Kickstarter to retail, to coincide with the launch of the new website.

i need more fodder for my R&H however i am waiting for the platoon bundles, that's easier to order and on that sweet sweet mask on the art with the steelhelmet.

-Website Terminated-

A few hours ago we shut down our old website for the last time.

It has been loyally creaking along for over 7 years, but it has not been fit for purpose for a while now.

The good news is, we are working on a new version which should go live later this evening!

The new website will include many new improvements:

-New smart search bar
-Tags and Filters
-Much clearer and easier to use Custom Squad builders

These will make it faster and easier to find the products you are looking for.

-Reward Points!
Earn up to 5% of your purchase back as credit on a future order within 6 months.

-Automatic Stock Tracking
This wont affect how customers use our website, but will mean we can ship orders even faster and have fewer products out of stock.

Keeping exact track of stock does mean that we will no longer be able to make custom changes to orders (swapping sprues around on request in squad builders) which will negatively impact some customers, but we have tried to mitigate this by including as many options as possible in the builders to start with.

-The retail launch of our Daughters of the Burning Rose - Over 100 new products!


We are also making the first significant price rises in 4 years - around 5-10% on most bits and squads. We don't like to do this, but after accounting for inflation, most products still cost the same or less than they did when first launched. Putting our profit margin back to where it was a few years ago will allow us to continue investing in better equipment and more design work so we can continue with our recent accelerated release schedule.

See above for the website.

Unfortunately the platoon bundle is not available on the new website for the time being, while we work out the best way to do it with our new live stock system. All the squads are there and now - so are all the different option parts!

@Ragsta - separate boiler suit legs may appear at some point, but I do not know when we might feasibly get around to them. The to do list is LONG.

That's a darn good update regardless of the legs, sir, thank you for this!
Even faster delivery times... Does that mean I could get my stuff the same day?! ;P

Looking forward to the new site. I know I'll be picking up some of the exo-armour when its ready - just to try them out. And I really need to decide on that future IG project too...

Very slow progress but progress nevertheless!
