Looks good, Pacific!

This looks very good, I migth go shopping once things are done

Wow! That is one awesome mini!

Thanks very much for posting, and of course customers are very welcome to post photos in the thread, Its very rewarding to see what other people use the parts for, as I get virtually no time to make my own miniatures these days!

please post some more photos when you get round to painting him!

Cheers,

Joel

Amazing stuff Pacific! May have to try that myself now!

You know what stuff 30k, inspired by PACIFIC I want to do an Age of Strife Techno-Barbarian/ Proto-Astartes force.

TERRA WARS - Unification of Earth. It is so on!

Right ANVIL your stuff is great for this.

I should have some new product (new helmets) available to purchase from tonight, for posting from next tuesday.

For now, Ive been through the entire Anvil Dakka Thread and collated this list of things people have requested / Ive put on the list myself.

Everything here will be worked on over the next 6 months or so, and I will try to fit smaller releases in amongst the larger projects-


melee weapons -
chain axe, hammer, normal gladius, ornate two handed weapons with arms attached left handed versions of various melee weapons

New guns -
various energy weapons, heavy weapons, double barrelled rifles, pistols, sniper rifle.
weapon attachements including laser range finder, bipod, red dot scope, sniper scope, double mags, spent ammo casings.

bionics -
left fists sprue, new human scale bionics, bionic legs of various sizes including multi-pose option.

shoulder pads -
large medieval, samurai, tech, studded, old style laurels/skulls re-release.

Helmets/ heads -
egyptian, samurai, gladiator. non-bald bare heads of various kinds, hooded bare heads.

misc steam lord stuff -
armoured melee arms, officer upgrade sprue, gladii, holsters for pistols, grenades,
some more "techy" Steam Lord bits as well as the "monk" parts.
Wings and Jump Packs

Miniature kits-

"True Scale" Steam Lord kit - larger leg and torso parts to go with my existing heads/arms/pads etc.

"Exo Lords" - Steam Lords in really bulky exoskeleton armour, hard as nails.

"Modular Guardsman" Range - If you are waiting for miniatures, conversion parts, weapons etc for regular 28mm sci-fi humans, its all here!


There is whole load more stuff on the horizon as well, including a full range of tanks, transports, Mechs, Gunships etc, but no more details for now, Ive got enough to be getting on with as it is!!

In spite on this long list, I still very much welcome suggestions and ideas for new kits/parts you would like to see. Stuff I really like the sound of, Im happy to bump up the release schedule, particuarly if its pretty small/easy to go.

Cheers,

Joel

That is one nice sounding list! Pretty sure you have covered everything that I could ever need!

One thing I would like to see would be some super high-tech steam lord parts (think Infinity or Sedition Wars). Some armour that is all smooth curves and very clean looking would be very nice indeed! Maybe some high-tech laser weaponry to go along with them as well?

How a about a full helmet incorporating the 'grill' from the bare headed pieces?

Steam Lords rocket/missile launchers to go with your auto cannons. Everyone loves and needs missile launchers!

Would be nice and convenient if they came with a pair of Steam Lord arms to hold them too. I'd buy a heap and I'm sure others would too, they are always in high demand for those wishing to convert missile launcher Devestators/Havocs.

Edit: and I second jump/jet packs, yes please!

missile launchers for sure

@Commander Cain - Ill see what I can do!

@Sicksix, Yep Its on the way if I can get it to look right.

Missile Launchers and other heavy weapons - Definately on the list!


For now, new product-


All the old helmets have been redrawn in CAD and 3D printed, so they are much higher quality than previously.
Ive also released a few new designs, and next week will be releasing a set of "skull" helmets plus a couple more varient helms hopefully.

Cheers,

Joel

Now that is what I am talking about! I knew it was a good idea to hold off getting some heads, I can think of many uses for them. Details are nice and crisp, I especially like the two middle ones.

Not sure about the skull head you have just shown, I think I need to see it on a torso but something seems a little off, maybe it is not shaped like a normal skull or something? Anyway, I shall wait to see it on a steam lord before I jump to conclusions!

I know! its too flat and the jaw is too wide, so it looks more like an ape skull, I noticed after I cast it, but left it on to show whats coming up

The skull has been resculpted/cast and I will be making a set of 5 slightly different ones.

Joel

Oh that is a nice set indeed! Love that for my mentors, and of course great for da and smurfs. Great work!

Wow, Joel, that is a long list of stuff to do! I was wondering about the Modular Guardsmen range, what proportions will you be aiming for? Obviously, in 28mm scale you can have GW IG proportions or the more realistic ones FW DKOK and your very own Imperial Borderers.

Speaking of which, I finally got around to doing my own test Borderer, it's nowhere near as good as IceSword's, but hopefully it might help persuade a few people to put in some orders:

First I love the helmets but the Medieval version helmet looks at little well clunky, which is good its just the helmet looks weird compared to the previous one. Otherwise great job and the skull smiling guy creeps me out.

Otherwise... Everything as usual looks awesome!

And the predator looks awesome!

Also question do you have plans for a new close combat weapon O.o

Hey Guys,

@Sockwithaticket-
Im creating a stand alone range, but obviously want to ensure my components are compatible with a wide range of other manufacturers kits to allow for maximum conversion potential.

My kits will probably be closest in scale/proportion to Forgeworlds Imperial Guard sets, perhaps with slightly bulkier ankles/wrists/guns to ensure my models are sturdy enough for gaming with.

Thanks very much for posting the photo! it looks great!

@Asherian Command, Thanks! the new medieval helmet is actually slightly smaller than the old one, but a bit chunkier than the other new designs.

New Melee weapons on the list so far - Chain Axe, "regular" sword, and some two handed ornate looking hammer/axe/glaive thingys.

all "when I can get round to it" of course.

Cheers,

Joel

3d Printing is going to be amazing for miniature design, imagine the quality of the Heads and Ornate pieces. This is like what 2nd generation technology now? Maybe even 3rd. Imagine what this stuff will be like in 3 years time....Time to design your own stuff in CAD.

Just ordered a load of the forge ruins bases and a few other odds and ends, looking forward to seeing how they turn out and getting some Orks and Marines based up soonish!

Hey guys,

Today is my day off, but we've still got some new product out!

Three new head/helmet sets for Steam Lords and similar 28mm miniatures-



Unhelmed - Hair

"Hooded"

and "Skulls"

And also two new Miniatures Of The North releases-

Fallen Dwarf Phalanx -



and an "Aether Pirate" mini which I absolutely love! IceSword has promised me more aether pirates coming up soon!



We've also updated the "bare heads" product, they now fit better in the torsos, and Ive renamed them "Unhelmed - Skin"

Two old products which were unavailable for a time - Suppressors, and Tripod, are now available again and are improved from prior versions.

I will be hard at work over the bank holiday working on even more new stuff for next week!

Thanks for your support!

Joel

Very nice i must say.

Loving the Fallen Dwarf miniatures!

Damn! Nice heads and ...more heads. I'll have to pick some of these up at some stage.

the hoods and skulls are pretty awesome. I really like the dwarfs as well.

You know I was thinking, the humble Space Marine Scout doesn't have many options for bodies?

It might be nice to have a Scout with Robes over their Armour. It would be good for BT, DA, and any other conversion where you want a gothic Scout. Like IRON HANDS scouts, looking like a Mechanicum Priest with your Hooded Head and a Red tabard. Here is an example in GW Imagery, but they never made an example?



Scout with Robes ?

As always JOel, loving the new stuff. I am on hols for 2 weeks but expect more orders for those hooded heads when I get back!

Please, oh please, please please do some robed not-terminators. My Word Bearers would love you forever

Cheers for the feedback guys.

Important note (which im sure has been pointed out before)-

I cannot design or make robed scouts, robed terminators, Mechanicum priests etc etc, all those concepts and names are the property of Games Workshop, I have to politely decline your suggestions.

Ive previously stated an intention to make Steam Lords in Exo-Armour suits, which I suppose could have robes sculpted over the top.. Ill figure out some concept sketchs..

Cheers,

Joel

Robes on Space Marines always struck me as rather silly.

Kind of like the whole "No Capes" thing from "The Incredibles"...

Wonderful hooded heads! They're replacing some heads from another maker so almost my entire army will be from you! Expect a pretty huge order at some point in the future...

Okay well how about, Steamlord Squire/ Paige with Robes?
