Joel, I was adding some stuff to my cart for my next order and I noticed that the missile launchers and autocannons are up on the site but with no pics. Are they available to order now or just a pre-order?

Never mind. I creeped your facebook and got my answers!

Alright Joel, I've got my order in. I was hoping the new MOTN guys would be up as well, but then I saw what the total for my order was and now I'm glad they aren't up yet.

A couple of questions though,
Is there a possibility for selling a single Black-Ops guy by himself? Maybe make it a random figure from the fireteam or allow the buyer to pick one. I'd like to buy one or two for display and don't need a whole squad at the moment.
Second question, capes and shields, are they going to be expanded upon in the near future? A smooth riot shield with a view slit would be pretty nice to have. A cloak that hangs over one shoulder or at least on one side of the figure would be kind of neat to have, too.

will the widow maker SAW be available with the fireteams? what about in 10 packs? I gotta say I'm loving your new stuff. How long until accessoties for bigger Boarding Lords stuff? Any chance of an exo-lords head with a mohawk im the future?

Actually, yeah, I second the motion for either a Black-Ops boarding team or a heavy armored unit for boarding actions. Something more akin to a Terminator armor maybe?

Hey everyone,

Ok comments and questions first -

@Commander Cain - thanks for posting those photos up, good to see some parts in use, they look great! Im pretty impressed with the casting quality on those plastic figures, plastics are somthing we are hoping to look at in the future.

@Barzam - No plans for more cloaks or shields in the near future.
No plans to sell single Black Ops right now, but I have a few spares so If you PM/email me with your order details I can sell you just two.

@Melkson - No more heads coming up, but you could use the small roman crest with a bare head to make a mohawk pretty easily.
I will be remaking the SAW master to improve the quality and add variety/extra parts. When thats done it will be available as an option with the Suppression team.

Heavy armoured "Siege Lords" are a planned upcoming product, later in the year.

---------------------

A few of you may have seen this on Facebook last night, but Im pleased to officially release the new -

BLACK OPS SUPPRESSION TEAM

Consisting of a Gunnery Sergeant (4 different arm options) and 4 Heavy weapons troopers equipped with either Missile launchers or Autocannons.









Sergeant with Advanced Communications Pack, Range Finding Optics and Fire Control Widget.



Sergeant with Advanced Communications Pack, Sniper Carbine and pointing hand.

Lots more photographs are included in the product listings, which you can view here -

The Heavy Weapons kits are also available separately in packs of 2 or 10.





These can be found here-

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

Id love your feedback on the new kits, and yes different Heavy weapons will be available in due course!

Cheers,

Joel

The missiles are AMAZING!

(the other stuff is great too, I just might only have use for the missile launcher).

Will you be offering the Supression team Sgt arms/head sprue separately? I would love to see a selection of Sgt sprues to spice up custom squads. Head, pistol, and chain weapon is a very popular combo. Looking forward to the Siege Lords too. Please do a double autocannon for them!

Gotta say, GREAT stuff still, and i'm really looking forward to what is coming. Thanks alot for putting out such quality stuff.

Brilliant stuff. Those launchers is just what I've been waiting for, for some special conversions.

Thanks very much guys!

I will look at doing some Sergeant bits separately at some point. I certainly plan to makes the "Comms" backpack a separate component.

Here is a short (4 minutes) Video showing the new miniatures and the various component parts, options and extras included, a really good way to get a proper look at the figures.

At the end of the video Ive included a "sneak peak" of the new fully magnetized Lance Carbine weapon.




Cheers,

Joel

the missiles are amazing. I may get me some new Tankbustahs!

The fragmentation-grenade-look of the frag missiles is hilarious. It's a bit silly, but it's blatantly obvious and clever. I love it.

Nice stuff! The combi guns are super cool, love the way they just change so easily. Ever thought of selling magnets on your site as well?

Amazing stuff, looking really good. I belive you are attending salute this year will it be possible to reserve some stuff to pick up when Im there?

Also what are your plans for other squads I would love to see a five man assault squad, with some of your smg weapons, it would be cool to have a sniper team too with some prone models

thanks guys,

@Absolutionis - Yep, I know in real life the shrapnel bit would all be hidden inside, but as you say I wanted to make in obvious!

@Commander Cain - Yes I've found a bulk supplier and hope to be stocking the correct magnets for my new guns next week some time.

@The_Minsk - A recon sniper team is on the drawing boards, so to speak.

and everyone else in general -

YES- We will of course be attending SALUTE and we are really excited about it, look out for our huge "BLACK OPS" banner.

Anyone wanting to reserve product to pick up at the show should email me with their full name, and list of products, or if you are in the UK you can put an order through with Cheque as the payment option and "SALUTE reservation" in the comments box.
Its cash only at the show at the moment but we are trying to sort out a card machine.



Here is the new LANCE CARBINE



Its a 9 component kit containing -

Lower Carbine weapon
4 different upper weapons - Fusion Cannon, Ion Rifle, Flame Thrower, Grenade Launcher.
3 Different Mags - Box, Drum and Sickle, to represent different Ammo types.
Compact Scope

Each upper weapon can be easily blu tacked onto the lower carbine, and there are also Pre Cast Magnet Holes so magnetizing the different options is really straight forward.

Here is an assembled example -



Its available now in singles or in a pack of 5 guns.

Cheers,

Joel

Pre-cast holes? That's great news. I was going to ask about that, too. That'll make customizing way easier.

Joel, you are a god among men. All the new releases look great. 2 questions, Do you have an ETA for the Black Ops legs being sold independently and whatever happened to the 'stubby' autocannon design? Substantial order coming your way soon.

As much as I like the black ops, how about a sergeant upgrade for the regular Exo-Lords?

Thanks,

@sockwithaticket - We need to mould the legs separately, it will be before Salute definately, but we have to get the new kits moulded and shipped first.

Stubby Autocannon was a concept, it might not make it to the product stage, but there will be some additional heavy options at some point.

SickSix - Yes, but not yet, Ill be finishing the Black Ops off, then starting on some new Exo-Lords based on the Roman and Medieval styles, including sergeant options then. No ETA at the moment though.

Its difficult to know what to prioritise as I've got so many projects planned!

Cheers,

Joel

Combi gun is really good Joel! the design and incorporation of the secondary attatchments seems pretty flawless when put together, and the foresight of pre drilled holes for magnets is a really nice touch and screams to the hobbyist out there as something special! I can see these selling like hot cakes mate!

Just tried out the regiment range sniper rifle and looks top notch the dogs turned out spot on as I was hoping it would.

On top of this the grip hands that come with the weapons are a real blessing, I was building my mini using the selected parts and behold the left arm is without hand.
What am I todo well I grabbed the hand not expecting this to work out to we'll, but bugger me spot on a little GS to tidy up the meet but otherwise fantastic and it practily grips the gun almost a little click when the weapon was pushed into place.

Joel top points on this mate and the overall look as well, please expand the range with more of the original range in this scale pleas, please

Is it possible to get the exorcist carbine and rifle in regiment range ? I really love the look of these weapons and want to fit my troops with them I want exactly the same as the originals just scaled down

Uh, Joel...

Your mega packs of Autocannons and Missile Launchers say "x10" in the text, but "x5" in the product image.

You might want to get that sorted out, ASAP.

In other news my order apparently arrived today, so it should be in my greasy hands within a couple of days.

@Nerdfest09 - Thanks very much! I spoke to the magnet supplier today and we should have a stock of suitable magnets to offer with the guns tommorow.

@LDD - Thanks very much! Glad it worked well for your project! Certainly planning to release lots more stuff in the smaller scale! The assault rifle - out later this week, is a bit of a mash up of the two larger rifles.

@Azazelx - Thanks but actually its correct (if a bit unclear).
A sprue - shown in the image, contains two weapons (different arm sculpts). So the Pack of Ten guns is made up of 5x Sprue of two.

-----


Thanks for everyones orders over the Bank Holiday, we are working flat out today and expect to have shipped all bank holiday orders by the end of tommorow, including all the orders for the new Heavy weapons and Lance Carbines.


Cheers,

Joel

Order received in less than 24 hours

I bet I won't be as quick getting these autocannons on my Chaos Space Marine Havoc squad!

And how brilliant for Joel to have come up with a Grenade Launcher with underslung Assault rifle!



I really ought to get back on with building the squad I want to do with Joel's fantastic weapons and bionics. If only we hadn't just had a white Easter, I could have drummed up some enthusiasm for being in the cold assembling and undercoating them.

A cool and inventive way to incorporate the two weapons - I do think I look a bit "strange" with the mag/box hanging so low. And the Stubby Autocannon you previewed - DO IT! Coolest gun ever.

...and now for something completely different: Regiment size!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers for the response Joel, as ever your CS is top notch. It's pretty much just the legs I'm waiting on before I order, good to know I'll be able to do so soon
Yeah, I figured stubby hadn't made the cut given the other design has become a product already. Still, it's an awesome design and it'd be a shame for it to never see the light of day, though I appreciate it's probably not high up your colossal projects list.

Recieved my BLACK OPS

Incredible quality! I now feel like a complete idiot to have bought that s... from FW up to now! Thanks Joel for making me feel like that!

Really had to put them immediately together with some gubbins from maxmini i recieved today too.



As you can see Joels quality is impecable. And his armoury acessoiries are great to customize also weapons from other producers.
(OK, still WIP, as all gubbins - and you get a lot for your bits box - have not yet been applied!)
So glad that i had ordered 2 Suppressor teams when i saw that fab rocket launcher!

That m249 looks absurdly large. Its as tall as the model almost. Like your boonie hats though.

Yeah, it surely is! Would look much bettert on an Ork!
Will use it as heavy bolter, therefore i thought there might be no probs with that.

Question for the owner about the IG-scaled 'regiments' weapons - is there any likelihood of a solid ammunition rifle being released? I am contemplating buying a bunch of the laser rifles, then solid ammo magazines seperately. Would hate to do it if it was all a waste.
