Love the hooded heads! Great work all around.

I can't wait for more Imperial Guard sort of stuff.
The current rifles are great for Autogun/Lasgun replacements.
They'll be great for Necromunda and 40k! I may purchase some soon!

Looking forward to more!

Thanks very much guys, I cant really take credit for the hooded heads, Ice Sword from miniatures of the north did them for me, sculpting over the bare heads which were done by Robert Starling. All I actually did, for once, was a bit of reshaping and clean up to ensure they fitted the steam lords correctly!

@Joshua. Im planning a full range which I think you will like, most of my rifles are a little bit to big to be used with guardsman scale miniatures, so I will soon be releasing slightly smaller versions with the mags attached, plus a couple of new rifles.

Ive been playing around with CAD and its going quite well. Ive made three new components to include with my next 3D printing order.

Got a rifle? great, but what if you need to put a round precisely into the eye of a rampaging alien, or straight through the view port of an approaching battle tank? Only Anvil Industry offers the precision you need!

- Sniper Scope (bottom image) - approx 50% longer than my tactical scope, with dials for adjusting the optics.
-Red Dot/Reflex Scope - compact, good for room clearing.
-PEQ-2 laser range finder - shown here on the side, but could also go on the top rail or underneath.

All compatible with the rail system on my range of assault rifles, and with a bit of modelling can be used with virtually any 28mm scale weapon.

These will not go to the printer for a few days yet, so I welcome any feedback on the design, particularly if you've previously requested these items!

Cheers,

Joel

Just ordered a bunch of rifles and backpacks. Can't wait to model my stormtroopers

OMFG I'll order a crap ton of them, thanks alot Joel for listening to our sugestions.

Nice work so far coming on nicely, although I hope to see a decent sniper rifle for that scope

@Newabortion - no worries! It may take a while but I try to release everything people ask for eventually!

@LDD somthing like this??

Steam Lord Scale Anti-Material Rifle-

larger mag and ejector port, additional barrel cooling vents, longer reinforced barrel, plus your choice of optics.

Regular human sized sniper rifles will be forthcoming at some point also.

This is on track, however I need the human sized version ASAP

Maybe a slightly longer barrel and slightly smaller body if you get what I mean for the human sized version.

Otherwise loving this so far.

I love then all! The laser dot one has to be my favorite so far, very cool.

The anti material rifle still looks a bit too much like the normal widow makers, not sure what could be added or taken away to change that, let me mull over it while I have some breakfast!

that array of scopes and sights will help a lot in making spec ops themed Chosen. Not really sold on the weapons, but that's just my preference. Nice to see the Miniatures of the North stuff up - it's great that you're planning to make addons for them. if there was a sci-fi Fallen Dwarf Lord kits I'd buy it up in a second *CoughChaosSquatsRuleCough*

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Charax I have no plans for the MOTN range, its all IceSword calling the shots on that, Im just the manufacturer.

Charlie agreed with you lot, the rifle was lacking something.

Im now proposing to supply it with two different barrel ends - a 50cal style Recoil suppressor, and a traditional silencer for when you need to be a bit sneakier..

the end of the barrel will have an attachement nub which can have either barrel end glued/pushed on.

What do you guys think?

LLD, Ill try and get the smaller guns out of the way pretty soon, as I want to use the smaller guns for my upcoming guardsman project.

Cheers,

Great idea! and it looks excellent too, both barrel ends are done beautifully! the sniper one does appeal to me a lot though! :-)

EoTech and Bipod needed. The berret muzzle break need to be more Diagonal twards the firer

I'd like a stub nose'd one for CQC, have you tried fooling around with a bullpup design for the sniper?


I wish you'd hurry on with your human weapons and guardsman project, it seems to be rather on demand right now.

I am completely sold!

@Newabortion.

Ive adjusted the muzzel break a bit, good shout!

Bipod will be done for sure, whats an eotech?
snub nose - do you mean a much shorter barrel? buy a sniper rifle and stick the spare end on a regular widow maker! or do you mean a smaller barrel end?

Bullpub wouldnt work with any planned or existing arm set! so sadly not an option.

Im getting on with the guardsman project, Just need to learn to do CAD design first, hence these smaller projects in the lead up!

Now here is something i totally forgot about a few days ago, a new spartan helmet "gladiator"

I could cast it as it is currently, but im wondering about putting a row of short triangular spikes along the top crest peice, Id welcome feedback on this design?



Joel

Also looks good, could easily be used as an alternate helm for a chaplain as well as it looks like an aged design and I quite like it! well done as usual!

I am waiting patiently

Oooh! The Spartan Gladiator head looks nice!
Btw, an Eotech is a form a Holographic sight.
Can't wait to see some of the IG scale projects.
Roll on September!

Joel,

Sniper rifle is good, but make the barrel thinner, longer, and move it up the gun body some. Lose the rod in the top of it. Bipod is a must, for me so I pray you make these, even if only as extras. Love the different barrel ends though I prefer the silencer, the Barret style end is also very tempting.

When all are out, I will have to get a couple of sniper rifles, sniper scopes, and bipods to work on a couple of the squad I want to do. I will also need at least 4 sets of poseable bionic legs and arms, 10 steamlord backpacks, and some more bases.

I think this squad has been on hold waiting for parts for about a year now, but without your excellent parts, they would never get completed.

Thanks guys,

Ill have a go at making an Eotech also, now that Ive googled it.

Conrad - longer thinner barrel without top rod = snapped off the first time you game with it. I am limited by the strenght of the resin. Also its meant to be a super high bore anti-material rifle.

Bipod will definatly be supplied with the sniper rifle and will also be available separately. Im going to make it so it can be assembled folded under the gun, or deployed.

The poseable bionic legs will be another month or so im afraid, but they are right at the top of the list.

But right now - I do have somthing new, I previewed this a while ago and last night I finnished it off and cast it.

The Widow Maker Squad Automatic Weapon- perfect for mowing down entire squads of enemy light/medium infantry!

Its cast as a single peice with the arms and gun, and a separate strip of ammo which glues on the arm.

Ill put it up in the store later this evening.

Cheers,

Joel

Nice, not sure about the Skull with a Plume? Anyway JOEL this stuff is amazing, especially for those of us doing PRE-HERESY and need man portable Autocannon options. The new PH FW Books might be good for shifting your more distinctive lines.

Haven't dropped in for a bit and I'm really impressed with some of the new stuff.

Loving the Raven and Winged Predator heads, and once I'd changed my pants and cleaned myself up I tried to order some for my Raven Guard.

It may just be that I'm on my phone but when it came to entering details I got to delivery address and got a load of error gibberish. Will try again on laptop later but just wanted to make you aware there may be a problem with placing orders via smartphone. The whole site was very stop start speed wise too.

But those heads.. my Raven Guard salute you! Except the ones I'm going to have to decapitate and replace their heads with these.

They're less keen.

I think that ammo feed draped over the arm is genius! so different and looks excellent, the gun itself is great too and the skull helm is looking good!

can't wait to see more!

Well I have to say you took your time in releasing the big guns Joel! It was worth the wait though, final product is fantastic, any chance of an ammo drum variant?

That looks great! I also think the ammo over the arm was a great trick of unique genius! And as one who has experience with M240B machine guns, that is actually quite appropriate.

Great job and I can't wait to see other heavy weapons that you may have in the works (and if you don't you should!)

Yes what he said I agree, dam wish I could have explained that way

Seconding the Recoil suppressor end. That is just way too cool.

Joel,

Don't worry, replacing the barrel on the sniper rifle is easy enough with some brass rod. But will I need a collar of some sort to attach the bipod?

And one of those SAWs will definately be included. That ammo belt draped over the arm looks amazing.

All your products are well worth the wait, but I really want to get this squad done so I can put up some pictures and help advertise your stuff.

Might have to split my order into two pieces then, leave the legs for the second order, but that also means not doing the SAW equipped guy as he would be the one with the most bionics and I want the legs to show why he can handle the big gun.

@Azrael13 - if someone tried to remove my head and replace it, id be pretty unhappy as well! thanks for your order!
I will test the website when I get my smartphone soon.

Thanks everyone for feedback about the gun! No drummag planned but -

@sicksix - yep definatey planning a few more including laser cannon and missile launcher options.

@conrad - apologies for the wait! im really working as hard as I can.

Im not sure about the bipod yet, Ill be aiming to make it as flexible as possible

Cheers,

Joel

Just noticed the skull heads, I think I finally found the missing piece for my terminator chaplain conversion.
