Bionic torso, eh.....?

The legs are great, they are going straight into my next order!

Thanks very much guys!

Everyone whos wanting full cyborgs... start saving money, because they are incoming!!

Current project queue -

New Steam Lord legs medieval and praetorian
New small scale guns plus Small bionic arms and a fatigues arm set.
Rest of the parts to make small and medium scale cyborg warriors.

I do need to sleep sometimes though, so please be patient!

Cheers,

Joel

Take it easy I have to save some cash any way but nice work really nice work

Take it easy, my bum!

I've been waiting ages for those legs.

3 sets, a double tap, and another sniper rifle ordered. Gonna do me a very special set of models!

Hello,

HUMAN SCALE DOUBLE TAP - enough people want these, so id like feedback on this CAD image comparing the existing weapon with the proposed small version underneath -

Ive scaled it down a bit, shortened the front and replaced the bulky drum mags with a more compact box mag.

Its still pretty bulky, but this smaller version could be fired from one hand by a normal heroic 28mm human without it looking totally ridiculous.

Everything can be changed at this point so I welcome feedback on the scale/design.

Those of you who want to pre order it can do so here -

http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_87&product_id=239

but please not its not going to ship for a while, could be anywhere from 2-4 weeks.


SMALL BIONIC RIFLE ARMS - a few people waiting on these and the fatigue versions, The small bionic rifle arms will be released over the weekend.

Work on the small guns is progressing.

Human scale at last cant wait, I will add these to my buy list but you will have to wait for my cash so 4 weeks is more likely but it will be worth it LOL

I have a cash flow problem at the moment, but soon I will be placing a good order for sure

I hate to pile on suggestions for your ever-increasing queue, Joel, but would you be at all interested in creating some leg sets in a more "truthful" scale? I think a decent number of hobbyists (myself included) would be very interested in true-scale legs that they didn't have to sculpt themselves. I know I would need somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 or more. No rush, just an idea.

Thanks a ton for making my wish a reality on those carbines Joel, I pm'd you!

It looks good to me. Will the box mag variant be available in the larger size as well, or is this strictly for the human sized version?

I know it is something you wouldn't be able to put in the queue for at least a long time, but do you think there's a possibility for a longer, rifle length version of the double tap?

Hey Guys-

Im going to rework the double tap into a longer/narrower two handed version for the human scale one, might also released the existing "pistol" version as well.

@Guildsman - its not an addition, "true scale" legs have been in the queue for a while, I already have the longer torsos ready and when Ive completed the exising 3D printed legs im going to scale them up a bit to make larger versions.

Probably be aiming for a total minature height of 40mm, so they will look weird used with regular torso parts, hence the longer torsos Ive made with wider waists.

Note that this is still a while away!

@Barzam - box mag is human scale only, to make it more sensibly compact.
A longer double tape rifle is certainly a possibility, but I would be included to put the barrels one on top of the other rather than side by side, I think this would look more realistic?


Joel

Very interesting. Assuming the price is reasonable (which seems like a pretty safe assumption), I would be interested in a fair number of them, enough for a small space marine army that I'll never play but am too lazy to try and sell.

I think Joel mentioned that the multi-pose would be fairly pricey (relatively speaking) due to all the parts but that he would also release some single sprue ones. Chances are that I will be getting both!

Any chance of IG sized shoulder pads any time soon?

Hey Guys,

All the "regular" legs will be single peice for now at least, Im not sure how much of a market there is for poseable Steam Lord legs, but Im open to suggestion as always.

@Javin - Yes. the "Regiments" project is planned out over the next 12 months, and when I release "fatigue" arms Ill also be doing a couple of styles of small scale shoulder pad to match.

Cheers,

Joel

hi,
ive been looking for a anvil thread on dakka for a while now and have finallyu found it!!!! dude, i love ur work and shouldbe soon placing an order...i was wandering if you are going to make some gun straps??? for bolters? as then only minis that have them are the AOBR guys, DC and the BT upgrate frame and really want some more!!! oh and also what about some more poseable legs, and robtic pre heresey style pf's? Like the onces from FW???

Subbed HAZZER

Those heroic size multipose legs look great!
Especially like the way that you can add armour if you want oe leave it off! Great idea and execution!

Will order them and that cool sniper rifle!

Sorry about this guys but, a bit of a big post.

Anyways, I'm looking at buying a few of your products to compliment my new Knights of Blood army I am working on. Before I considered it, I read some reviews and noticed that your mold lines are cleaned up or cleverly hidden in such a way as to make good quality, and that the pricing is very economic.

As such, since I've bought from other companies in the past IE: Chapterhouse, and loved kitbashing, and since all my friends are raving about Anvil, I decided to give it a shot. I'm currently filing out an order form Joel, and I was a bit confused.

Now then, I'm ordering a few to try out for my army through this form on your website: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=77_95&product_id=79

Now I'm looking at the Renaissance helmets and Plumes/Top knots. I was concerned that these wouldn't go together without a heavy dosage of greenstuff, which I've just ran out of. Will they go together easily, just requiring glueing, or will they require other kinds of modification?

Anyways, just posting this here so I can find out if the order will go together or not:

Helmet: Renaissance.
Torso: Medieval.
Legs: None.
Power Pack: Turbine power plant.
Shoulder Pads: Medieval Pads.
Cloak: Fur Cloak.
Crest: Plume/Top Knot.
Loin Cloth/Strap: Leather Straps.

Anyways, if this goes well I am planning on ordering Chain Glaves for all of my main force and Visored helmets for my Scouts, plus one of the sniper rifles for my "Telion" counts as. As for my Captain I'd like to get a Spartan helmet with a crest and the bionic legs your showing off here.

Thanks, and sorry if this type of thing isn't meant for this thread, still a bit new to Dakka.

Hi Guys,

@HAZZER - Im afraid that gun straps would just be too fragile in resin. Its somthing which would have to be metal or "flexible" resin, and i dont work with those materials at the moment.
Thanks for the suggestions though!

@Miniholic - thanks! Some fully "pre assembled" versions are due next week also, as well as the new Steam Lord Legs.

@Stormsung,

Hi, of course you are welcome to post anything in this thread! We dont clean up mould lines, we just cast parts with no mould lines in the first place! (for the most part, we are not perfect!)

The combination of parts you list will fit together fine with no need for any green stuffing. The plumes have a "stick" which just goes on the top of the helmet with a tiny bit of super glue. It will sit neatly on any of the helmets/heads which have a flat top section.

What I would recommend is using a slower setting super glue - say 5-15 seconds, to allow you to ensure the position of the plume is correct.

Good luck with the project and thanks for your support!

Joel

Alrighty then! As soon as my funds clear up, I'll buy those badboys up and post pictures once they arrive/are done.

Thank you for your well written response Joel!

Certainly a possibility for those wanting to build D&D warforged.

Also there's possible utility for steampunk projects etc.

Oh shoot, forgot to ask.

Does anyone have an image of the Auto-Scythes? I figure one of those plus a Chain Glaive would make my Assault squads look vicious.

Hmm a tad off topic but since you sell Miniatures of the North stuff Anvil, do you have any contact with him? Just curious to know if theres any updates since the MotN Blog hasnt been updated since Dec 6.

Hey Anvil,

I tried to follow the link to pre-order some of the human double carbines (or whatever it's called) and it's not showing product available. I was going to put it together with another decent sized order of stuff.

Commander Cain, don't forget taht this is Anvil we're talking about here and not GW. Pretty pricey for Joel is £2.25 per set. I have just got 3 sets of fully poseable bionic legs, a double tap and basic Negotiator sniper rifle for under £10 + P&P. Not been able to properly look at them yet, but they look Spankin'!

I now have all the parts required for my 10 man squad of Omega Marines, so hope to get started on them soon.

@Stormsung -

Here is a Spartan Steam Lord weilding an autosythe -

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/120/413174.page#5085070

and in that thread in general (Commander Cains) there are quite a few images of assembled Steam Lords with various weapon combos.

@Kenshin - Yes, IceSword (Miniatures of the North) is still alive as far as I know! Hes just busy I guess.

@Hulksmash - I disabled it as I dont know when the parts will be ready and I still need to redesign it for two handed use, and im not comfy taking money for an open ended project, given my track record with hitting my own deadlines!

I hope to have the new Double taps ready for a print run soon as Im working on weapons CAD this week along side the new Legs. If you like, I can delay shipping your order and you can purchase the double taps separately?

Cheers,

Joel

Hehe, Joel beat me to linking my own thread! They are indeed very menacing looking, can't recommend them enough!

wht about basing assocries??? like the onces in the GW basing kit but not 10 times the price...???
