So you do have stickers after all Joel :(

Apparently there are Anvil Industry stickers in existence which I have no knowledge of!! slightly concerning..

I dont currently have any stickers, LLD do you mean a business card? I send those out..

I will add "stickers" to the list of stuff to send out free on request!

Im really annoyed because it looks like I managed to lose/delete the CAD file with the scopes/rifle, so Im going to have to make all those peices again, Bah!!

While im at it though, I will make a few other new bits and send off an order later this week.

Anything in particular people want included in the "guns" 3D print run?

currently-

sniper rifle
scope
reflex
PEQ
bi-pod
2x alternative energy/heat weapon
doubled barrelled versions of some guns.

anything else in pressing need?

Cheers,

Joel

How about a generic Tripod?

Almost all Heavy Weapons can be mounted on a Tripod, and a nice looking one might be good.

One thing I have never seen modelled, is a proxy for a NAVAL PISTOL, this was described in the old Inquisitor Book pg 67.

It would basically be a huge/ chunky / Sci -fi Revolver.



Really need some alternatives to Bolt Pistols. Or maybe some Machine-pistol types as well?



Cultist's are gonna be popular now Dark Vengeance has landed....

A tripod?

I already sell this one-

http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_78&product_id=108

For 28mm scale larger heavy weapons like my autocannon and missile launcher.

A sci-fi revolver is an awesome idea! one Steam Lord revolver coming up!

My release shedule may be behind track, but IceSword's isnt!

Here are some new Miniatures of the North figures, Ill be putting them up for sale today or tommorow.

Imperial Borderer Grenadiers

3 multi part minis - the legs, torsos and heads are all separate, so with three figures you can still get enough different poses for several squads.



Cultists

5 miniatures including squad leader. All the hands/weapons are separate and pleanty of pistols and knives will be supplied to complete the figures.


bigger photo coming soon...




Cheers,

Joel

I was sure you had a sticker about the same size as Kits Zing industry ones now go and make them anyway

All sounds great ……….. still waiting on the human sized weapons mind real shame about that lost file was hoping to get some decent sniper rifles

I like the idea for the pistol especially the top pic mwnciboo posted, I would also like to see some goggles and night vision add ons for helmets and heads

Didn't see your Tripod, mea culpa. :(

I would like to see a nice big fat Revolver, just because, well it's pretty Grimdark to have a Massive Gun even if it only holds like 6 rounds.

Liking the grenadiers a lot! The extra armour on them makes them a bit more beefy. I would maybe like to see some different style heads though, not overly fond of the current ones.

Googling for source material and stumbled on this-



I absolutely love it, the barrel lining up with the bottom of the cylinder makes designing it for a Steam Lord a lot easier!

Ill get a 3D mock up compared to my Widow Maker posted.

CHeers,

Joel

If you're sci-fing up a pistol how about the Le Matt

a revolver with the cylinders rotating around a shotgun barrel instead of the normal pin

http://home.hiwaay.net/~stargate/lemat.htm

The centre barrel could be whatever you want as a single shot special

or take it the other way, the center barrel is the normal weapon, and the cylinder carries extra special limited shot stuff

If you're looking for ideas for guns, I'd like to see some from Firefly: Mal's pistol, Zoe's shotgun, Jayne's pistol, and of course, Jayne's very favourite gun, Vera.

Zoe's is just a sawn off winchester, that shouldn't be to hard to find online already.

Am I the only one who is kinda MEH on the whole steam knights with revolvers idea?

I want the revolvers for other projects, I never said Steamknights.

I want them for character conversions, and IG Officer models.

@Orlando - Very interesting pistol - I read the wikipedia article about it! I certainly like the concept.

Zogg - thanks, again, there is a wikipedia article about the guns of Firefly!

@Sgt.Roadkill - Sure its a bit "out there" as guns go, but if I only made stuff which would appeal to everyone Id have no products!

@mwnciboo -

Have you seen Zinge Industries at www.zinge.co.uk?

He has a bunch of random 28mm scale weapons which may suit for your purposes!



Here is my Revolver - pretty standard except for the small matter of it being chambered for 50.Cal rounds, you need to be super human just to avoid a broken wrist!

What do you guys think? Ill also print a smaller version for regular humans.

More WIPs later.

Cheers,

Joel

That revolver does look good,

could just as easily be a shot pistol too

(and I must confess a fasination for the fiirearms of the American Civil War, and 'wild west' which is where the Le Matt turned up as one of the many weapons the confederates tried to buy in from Europe to make up for their lack of manufacturing capacity)

It has starred in a fair few RPG i've run and played in

Flamers! Gota love me some flamey goodness!

I have a Lemat reproduction from when i did Civil War Reenacting , and it's a really cool gun. It was even cooler when Firefly came out and Jayne was using a sci-fi'ed version of one.

Nothing beats 9x45cal rounds and a 20Gauge shotgun barrel. Thing's massive, too- it weighs 4.5 pounds.

Yet another reason to love firefly!

and the weight was an issue, not really a balance point and shoot gun, but at real handgun range of 30 feet or less, wow

(here in the UK real guns aren't really an option, and now even replicas are tricky to own, safer but it does limit me to pictures)

That Revolver does look nice, It could even proxy for a Aux Grenade Launcher/ or a Snub nose Shotgun.

If you reduce the size of the Cyclinder it would look more Revolver, but less Grenade Launcher/ Shotgun.

I actually quite like the oversize nature of it.

At first I thought it was a grenade launcher until I saw the pistol next to it. I like the idea of the huge cylinder but it just doesn't seem to translate well into 3D. You could always bulk out the bottom of the actual pistol to make it wrap around more, atm the handle especially seems a bit lost.

Yeah maybe the Handle should taper outwards towards the top so it is the same diameter. Looking at other Revolvers that seems to be a key design feature..





I think reducing the size of the cylinder by 20% - 33% would do the trick.

What he said!

Should help alleviate the grenade launcher look I think.

I dont know I kind like the over sized cylinder after all this is 40k, plus it will fit well with previous weapons nicely

Human size version as well you say, still waiting on the human sized weapons you promised

Some times I wish we had an Ork waving a fist, or steam blowing out of his ears

Hurm any progress on female not IG?

I'm not a huge fan of the oversized cylinder, I'd rather see some more vaguely realistic weapons - which doesn't mean you shouldn't make them - just make some more realistically proportioned ones as well. More choices are always good, and I really liked the one you showed in in the thread.

Another good one would be the Knights Armament version of the S&W Model 500, as seen in Punisher War Zone
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Punisher_war_zone#Smith_.26_Wesson_Model_500


I'm also wondering if I'm the only one, or if others would be interested in versions of modern weapons that would work with heroic scale 28mm figures?

For example, I have this Reaper miniature, and I'd love to equip him with some realistic weapons, instead of the made-up pistols that he already has.



Or a replacement for this anti-tank rifle?

She couldn't even lift that, despite Anime's attempts to rewrite the laws of physics, I am yet to see a girl with the Physique of Carly Rae Jepson wield a Barrett M82 like it was a Nerf gun.



Please make this!

Any way of bulking up those cultists a little? They seem kinda stringy.


The guns ok, but those guys are to small to carry anything larger then a 38 or a .380.

How about giving them small machine pistols like Mac 10's or Uzi's? You give the weapons a little more like a silencer, and scopes and stuff. maybe a sling?Even give those guys some bulpup rifles, light machineguns, or something else- maybe, like a Calico, an AUG, or an HK MP5?

And it has a shoulder stock as if she, or anyone else for that matter, could fire it standing up!

Clearly it has suspensors attached.

But yeah, that's why I'd rather have something a bit more feasable and ideally, a real-world weapon.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the feedback/discussion!

Pistol - I dont want to make the drum smaller, but I have made the front about 50% longer, so the drum is smaller in proportion.

The handle - not much point doing anything fancy with it, as this pistol is designed to have the handle removed so it can be attached to a hand, and most existing hands have this style of pistol grip!
I have however changed the angle a bit.

@mwunciboo, that long black revolver is amazing! Im going to use it at the basis for a combat shotgun!

@LDD they are on the way, rescaled weapons will be the first thing along with the armatures to sculpt the guardsman range.

@Scipio - Yes I will be making some more sensibly proportioned weapons for the gaurdsman range, starting with re-scaled versions of some of the steam lord weapons. They will still be over size, as actual scale guns would be almost invisible on a 28mm scale model, and also a pain to cast properly!

@grot 6 - the cultists are done by a sculptor - Icesword, who is designing his own range for a future game universe. the range is in "true" proportions, so they look skinny because they are actual proportions, rather than the "heroic" scale used by most manufacturers.


Attached is somthing Ive been working on last night ans this morning.

Widow Maker Sniper Rifle, which will be supplied with a choice of three barrel ends, scope, bipod and two different Mag options.

More previews coming up later today.

Cheers,

Joel

Really like the basic design, but then again, I have always liked the 'Widowmaker' series.

Not sold on the CQB barrel, think the suppressor is the mutts nuts, but would like the bipod designed to sit just behind the suppressor. (Although it should be an easy mod to make myself.)

Isn't there a new weapon where you can change the barrel and upper receiver on a M16 type body so soldiers can quickly and easily go from standard weapon to long range support as they carry the other barrel on their backs. That's what this reminds me of.
