Power Feet. Now there's an interesting idea. Would they be like the new Raptor legs with claws on them or something?

I still think the idea of having some bio-mechanical type armor would be pretty neat. Kind of like this one Josh Nizzi designed for the now pretty much forgotten game Fracture.

Way too cool looking design for such a mediocre game. This or something along the lines of the Guyver was the sort of thing I was thinking of when I mentioned it earlier.

That list is incredibly exciting! I might just save up all my hobby funds for the next 6 months and then have a huge Anvil binge once all the stuff on that list comes to fruition!

Looking forward to your regiments goodies. I'll once again put in my request for parts to make vehicle drivers and passengers, namely seated legs and arms holding a steering wheel. Also, will you be making a human-scale version of your fantastic double-barrel shotgun?

2013 IS GOING TO BE A KICK ASS YEAR FOR HUMAN HEROIC COOL STUFF THANK YOU JOEL

have you ever thought tof doing some form of robotic powerfist? the fw ph one is very good...

I would be all over robotic power fists.

Commando? Commando? Is there going to be a commando helmet?
That would be awesome to see.
Also i have a good suggestion.
Instead of a jetbike call it a hover bike. So that a very well known gaming company doesn't come after you :/

Whatever happened to that exo suit sketch you posted eons ago Joel? Will that beast ever be seeing the light of day?

@Alanmckenzie -

Planning them, but no idea when. Might do a facebook poll and see how much people want to buy them. Heavy weapon option seems sensible..

@Ovion - No power feet Im afraid, or Zenos Holsters - just not enough of a market to pay for the moulds, but everything else Ill consider

@COUNTS AS - I hope to have the initial arms and small guns sets out in the next 2-4 weeks. Ill certainly think about including a left handed rifle in the set. Specialist/energy weapons will either be scaled down, or places on tripods/ troopers with a big strap for carrying it and shooting from the hip, Im undecided.

@BARZAM - very cool concept, but not my kind of thing really.

@Zogg - noted - those bits will get done when I get round to vehicles, which might be a while.

I doubt Ill make a smaller double barrel shotgun in the near future, the current one is big on guard scale models, but not silly big, Ive seen people use them with catachans/cadians just fine, so Ill see if they work ok with my minis.

@HAZZER and Moltar - I will do my best but no promises.

@Asherian Command - Hoverbike is a bike "back to the future"?? Mabey Rocket Bike.. Ill have a naming competition those are always fun.

@Commander Cain-

I wanted to make the Exo-Mech Suit in time for last years Salute, but its looking like it wont be finnished till after this years salute!! It will be completed though, very keen to get that product out there!


Thanks for your feedback everyone!!

Joel

New Product anyone?

Ive been sitting on these for a while now as had no time to mould them over the christmas period, but very pleased to announce some new Miniatures of the North products from IceSword.

New Fallen Dwarfs - Some Crossbow equipped infantry, and this command group-



Also some new items for House Crowmantia - A new Cult Leader, and Heavy weapons trooper, and these guys are my favorite of the new stuff - A High Priest and two Acolyte helpers.



There will be some new Anvil stuff - mostly Bionics, out toward the end of next week.

Cheers,

Joel

Hey I was wondering; with your new regiments range will there be appropriate heads and things to make renegade soldiers? That would be very cool and popular too, I bet.

i would like to see some retro termi..oops exos suits Jet bikes wicked, any indication of wich way style wise they are going to look like?

I gotta admit, I love those fallen dwarves of Ice Sword's, that army deal you have going sure does look tasty!

If Ice Sword happens by this thread, any chance that you will be making any other models for this range?

you should check out Ice Sword's blog and his gallery on here. He's got pics of a lot of stuff coming down the line. The bit I liked most though are his Toxic troops. I can't wait for some of them to show up for sale.

Also, once payday rolls around, I am so getting some of those cultists.

love the dwarfs!!!!

Cheers guys -

@ziiza1300 - Yes there certainly will be! I intend about 10 regiments in total eventually, but it depends on how sales go.

@Jehan-Reznor - Exo-Lords are on the to-do list, I have a working sketch for the Rocket bike, hard to describe, Ill post a mocked up CAD sketch at some point.

@Commander Cain - Yep, Minor pricing error there which Ive now fixed, for the past 9 hours its been possible to order 180 dwarfs for £22.50 due to an error in the listing!

Icesword does swing by here so Ill let him answer the question.

I think the tox troops will be great as well!


JET/ROCKET/HOVER BIKE -

Jehan_Reznor mentioned this - Im running a poll at the moment on facebook -

https://www.facebook.com/AnvilIndustry

Its looking like a pretty popular option, so hopefully Ill be working on that in the not to distant future, probably doing a pre-order for it to cover the development costs.

Cheers,

Joel

Wow great stuff!

I'm quite behind on what I'd hoped to deliver (by 2 months now) but definitely have more dwarf stuff on my workbench (elites with great weapons & beasts of burden with ballista to name a few).

Before that though the tox troopers will be finished - initially 6 troopers, a leader & a heavy weapon team. Not long now...

Just been checking out your renders on facebook they are looking awesome I am holding of everything now till these get released super job and sell them as a mixed sprue as well will save me time in the store

Also the poll added my 2 pence worth that is deal and half if you come in on that price

I would be in for a bike pre order for sure! I noticed there was a lot of discussion on FB about what tpe of legs and torso would be given to the rider. Any verdict on that yet?

Can't really see my computer screen due to the sun pouring through the window (no curtains! Grrr!) so no idea if this has been mentioned anywhere, though either way I'd love to see a fully positionable mechanics backpack / harness, and medics gauntlet too. Drool....

I think mechanical backpacks have been mentioned before, no harm in asking twice though!

Oh. I also noticed on your site that you mention making rules for a wargame. Let me be the first to say that on no account are you allowed to stop making models and whip up some rules instead! There are heaps of sci-fi wargames out there, what we need are sexy models to play them with!

id do a squad of 3-5

@Icesword - Thanks! Looking forward to the new stuff, but no rush at all.

@LDD yep Ill sell them "as they are" on that sprue, and then also as sets made up with left hands pre-sculpted on, to form part of my "regiments" range.

@Commander Cain - the torso can be any from the range, I just need to decided if Im doing separate legs or a single peice with the legs built into the bike.
Id hope to do separate legs with a few options.

Dont worry - with my work load of new minis to get out, a rules system/games universe is A LONG way in the future.

@Kitch102 - Its been suggested, and Id like to do a mechanical repair kit, but its not a priority at all at the moment.

Today I completed some Steam Lord Bionic Legs, and some fully bionic "Cyborg" legs, release new product on Wednesday I hope.

Cheers,

Joel

I would go separate legs myself allows for the option of conversions and other races using the bike

Do you lie awake at night worrying that existing 28mm Jump packs are unrealistic and would kill a user almost immediately?

Just me then..

Here is a mock up of the Anvil Jump pack, this is 30 minutes work so very rough shapes at this stage.

Its different from existing products in a few key ways.
-Has a fuel tank so the engines actually work.
-Has small wing surfaces so the user can actually steer it and get some horizontal lift at speed.
-Has a number of smaller steerable VTOL style nozzels, again so the user can actually pilot it and switch between hover and flight modes as needed.

I would release it as a three part kit, the central engine/fuel tank, and wings that can angle and rotate depending on the minis pose.

I would also do a version of this pack with giant feathery wings which I have in the works.

Id love your feedback on this design before I spend hours detailing and completing it.

Now THAT looks like it could fly!

Very nice

To infinity and beyond!

Much closer to a real jetpack.
