Got my grab bag in the post along with some of the candles I ordered, it's been a while since I last put in order and the minis are still great quality!

Will throw up some photos at some point!

Beautiful new models the sisters, demon hunter is awesome, will have to get one as commander of my planned sisters contingent !

My bits bag has arrived safely and has a lovely assortment of things to play with,

well worth the effort, thanks folks

Mine apparently overshot and is currently in Montreal ready for distribution back East. Such is mail though. I'm excited for it, but it's my Christmas present so I have to wait before I can get it together.

Check the anvil instagram page, they just previewed their new exo lords. I cant wait to get some arms and bolt rifles, I need them so I can convert my sigmarine Sequitors into templars!

Damn... They are some fine looking miniatures.

I wonder if Anvil is going to make Exo Lords for all the varying Primaris Marines out there. Would be really cool to see an alternative take to them than GW's.

That's what the new exo-lord range is by all accounts, primaris sized.

Love the new website. Put some orders in this week.

Where in London is Anvil based. Honestly would order for personal pick up if it was offered in the future just for an excuse to see the place.

We are in Leytonstone, East London. Visitors/order pick up is welcome, subject to prior arrangement by email - dont just turn up as we are not usually open to the public!

@Tyranid Hoard - If our B grade stuff is up to scratch, our regular product should fare even better!

@Oldmate _ I understand the new sisters are a little taller than our models. If you place one of our character figures on a suitable scenic base that should ensure it doesnt look out of place.

@Fenriswulf - the new exo lord range is indeed upscaled, so now most comparable to Primaris marines.

UK customers can order right up to Tuesday 17th and get reliable pre christmas delivery.

Thanks all,

Will you be making parts for that suit most of the Primaris types? Intercessor, Reiver, Aggressor etc?

Also what is the current price range you are looking at for the updated Exo Lords? I know especially with the favorable conversion currently for US it is cheaper to order from you than go GW direct and their wonky conversion ratio and I would rather support you than them.

We will make a few different equipment options to suit different combat styles yes.

Not yet decided. They will be more expensive than both our old exo-lords, and the basic plastic primaris marines from GW - This is simply because with resin kits, larger parts directly increases the material cost and labour associated with running the molds.

The quality and options will I hope, mean our kits still offer excellent value.

So when exactly will these new Exo-lords be available?

They will be shipping in mid January, and possibly available for sale before Christmas, so... soon

Cheers

Can’t wait for this

First one nearly finished...

Stunning work as always. It's also good to see a Tau drone where it belongs

I love the Magpul MOE Style hand guard on the bolt rifle, very cool.

Just to say, I got a good number of frag cannons from these fine people a couple holidays ago now. Was great service, I was told as they were gifts. Was even missing a couple and they sent the missing ones straight away and had it all by Christmas day.

Great group, good service and nice prices for the bits. All in all class acts, just thought I'd say that as the service warranted it and my support. A bit off topic but I thought positive reviews are always in season.

Just placed my order for the new Exo Lords!!

Hands up! (Pun intended!)
The hand signs and tactical hand signs are ace!!

Speaking of positive reviews, I ordered these for Christmas and they're fantastic! I especially appreciate the molded sprue on the cultists, and the peg/slot arrangement with the arms. Virtually no mold lines too!

Thought I'd post some of my Anvil regiments commandos to give more inspiration for anyone thinking of ordering from the regiments line.


This was my first order from Anvil, I was very impressed and very happy.

I could throw down in essence the whole of my 31.st core blog in here

The quality is stupidly high and the service was awesome, and still is, but the platoon ordering thingy i miss.
:

Also May i ask were the boilersuit wave 2.0

Morning all!

Thanks for positive comments/feedback! Much appreciated.

@Not Online!!! - Boilersuits wave 2 is due out at some point this year, but we do not have a firm release date yet.

Kind regards

Joel

I can't be the only one refreshing the Anvil page every week hoping there'll be a stealthy Afterlife restock... Looking for that Goliath, Republic exo-mechs and those Warden mechs in particular!

@BrotherCaptainArkhan - See below! Warden mechs are actually available to purchase currently! The Goliath will get a resculpt at some point. Not certain on the small republic mechs yet!

GENERAL UPDATE REGARDING AFTERLIFE GAME AND MINIATURES

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

I just posted this in the two Kickstarter projects, so I am posting it here as well.

Our plans for the future of AFTERLIFE.

We have posted this information on our website, but most people with an interest in the game/figure range will be on one or both AFTERLIFE Kickstarter projects, so this is the best place for useful feedback.

It has been quite a number of years since we launched AFTERLIFE with great hope and enthusiasm.

We were/are operating in a very competitive market, with probably hundreds of different small wargames fighting for attention alongside the big and well established ones, and we did not have the resources to invest in growing the game that larger companies can bring to the table. This led to our decision a few years ago to pause work on the game and focus on different product ranges.

This means ultimately our grand plans to support and expand the game didn't work out how we hoped! We are very proud of the miniatures and universe we created, but have to concede that the game has never gained enough traction to go beyond cult status.

We are currently reviewing the future of the game/miniatures range, and would welcome some input from our backers who have supported the project since day one!

The current plan:

Gradually re-sculpt/re-release the miniatures in a slightly larger/more heroic scale to fit better with the scale and modular system used by our Regiments and Exo-Lord lines.

This will make the whole miniatures range much more cross-compatible with other gaming systems and miniatures, and boost sales of the figures to people playing those systems. More sales makes it easier to justify further investment in new miniatures for the range.

Where we have existing molds/stock, we will keep selling the old scale models for as long as we can.

Models which are currently out of production/unavailable will be the first to be updated, but we do not have a time frame yet for any particular model.

We then hope to release a more open ruleset that incorporates everything we make and allows for complete customisation of miniatures.

The AFTERLIFE narrative will be fully playable within the new game, which means that the forces you have already built will remain fully relevant.

We hope you approve of our plans. If you have any specific feedback, ideas or questions please comment on this update or get in touch privately by email if you prefer : support@anvilindustry.co.uk

Thanks once again for all your support and enthusiasm over the years!

"...a slightly larger/more heroic scale" - !!?? Nooo!!

Yeah I'd be in the "Nooo" camp as well. These look like they'd match nicely with my Mantic scale miniatures. There is already a ton of GW sized stuff out there, some of it from your great company. But finding items in a more true scale form is much much harder.

I missed out the first time around, so I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to go 'all in' with 2 or 3 factions this time around!

Not thrilled with the rescale, please be judicious in doing such. My favorite pieces are the robots and larger armors so you really shouldn't need to touch them so much. Love the idea of an open ruleset.

One of the biggest draws for me was the scale compatibility with more realistic miniatures, so I guess if 'embiggening' is the future I'll probably look to part with mine reasonably soon.

Getting realistic scale bits is getting harder and harder. I'm right off the 'heroic' aesthetic, especially the guns. A Dragunov shouldn't be the size of a PTRD, it just looks like a nerf gun. It just about works for pure SF miniatures, but looks janky with stuff you recognise from TV or have handled in person.
