Pretty quick. I've ordered quite a bit and I think I'm currently at my longest wait time and it's been 10 days from the date of the order.

Hey Joel, what is your typical shipping time to the US?

It varies quite a bit. Royal Mail, our provider, say it takes 5-7 days. In our experience it takes anywhere from 4-10 days for the majority parcels, with the very occasional one taking a bit longer than that, up to three weeks, if there is a delay in customs for example.

If you need a parcel urgently you can contact us to arrange an express option which is a little faster and more reliable, its an extra £5 or so, hence its not our default option.

Cheers,

Joel

shipping for me (in chicago) is generally within the 4-10 day window

also those recon guys are dripping with sex appeal

4-10 days is nothin. Sounds great. I may have to put in an order tonight.

I'm guessing that the guy just to the left of the spotter is the one with the swappable head. I'm guessing we'll be seeing more of the single piece figures then? They look damn good for being a solid chunk of resin. Think we might see a squad with single piece figures and swappable weapons down the line?

Looks great man! Do you have any plans for a Robbed Helmet guy?

Can't wait to get a few steam lords and black ops guys.

Shipping from Joel to SF Bay Area is usually < 2 weeks. Response on rare issues is, as you might expect, super-quick.

Unrelated to the snipers, anyone recommend any appropriately sized Necron-ish guns for Joel's ARC trooper models? They're about GW human sized, but would really like guns that look all sciency for them.

The snipers look amazing. What will the Black Ops Leader be like?

Thanks very much to my US customers who have chipped in with typical shipping times!

@Asherian - No plans for any new Exo-Lord parts currently, Im working on some completely new sci-fi miniatures for my game at the moment.

@JeffJedi - Not quite sure yet, most likely he will have a cloak, be waving a gladius round and have a slung rifle on his back. Hoping to get a 5 man Command squad done soon but not sure exactly when I will get round to it.

Cheers,

Joel

I am looking forward to some WIP of the new sci-fi miniatures for your game

Bumping with painted pics (albeit still quite WIP)

These will be reconnaissance marines in my slowly-growing Sons of Horus 40k army. I'll be using mostly official bitz but this squad in particular caught my eye as perfect for that particular niche. They arrived today, I've been painting them since I got home. Could do with a bit more colour and the wash has pooled in places so need to tidy that up. The blue looks greener in natural light, I'm a bit crap at taking photos. I'm very, very impressed with the sculpts and they arrived within 3 working days which, as has been said before in this thread, is great service. There's not a lot else in the anvil range I want to use right now, but I'll definitely be watching intently from now on

In my opinion, much nicer models than the official forge world recon marines. What were they thinking with those half-cloaks and the bolters with weird extended barrels?

Also, I just registered today, so, hai!

Bull0

Where can I find the shoulders on this chap?

Awesome stuff!

Do you have any plans to make maybe, a super heavy armored soldier? Say...some sort of cool looking exo-suit?

It would be the mini of the centurion....I mean, century.

His Shoulders are under the shoulder pads

But when the anvil site is not under maintenance any more, go to the Exo-lords tab, and you can find them under shoulderpads.

Haha!

I'm sure I checked under the Exo-lords and nothing was there.

Hey Everyone,

Firstly the WEBSITE - Its currently in maintenance mode due to our security certificate expiring, we are in the process of sorting it out and hope to be back up soon, apologies for any inconvenience.

Secondly apologies for my radio silence recently, Im working on concepts and background material for my long planned Independant wargame project, and I dont want to release any information untill its ready, hence the long time between updates.

@Bull0 - Thanks very much for the photo, they look great! Glad you like the figures.

@Madmuzza- Im afraid those pads have been withdrawn from sale and will not be returning, Im very sorry about that, so you are not mad, the pads were not there when you checked prior to my taking the store into maintainance mode.

@Davethepak - The new wargame will have an extensive line up of Mechs/Exo Skeletons which may be suitable for re-purposing as a Centurion, however I wont be designing anything with "proxing" in mind, as the new project is to allow me to flex my creative side a bit more in creating totally new models and concepts, rather than stuff which has to fit with pre-existing popular miniatures scale/style wise.

Cheers Guys,

Joel

Ah that sucks, would of been perfect for my Space Wolf Horus Heresy Army, guess I need to look around the web more :(

I was also looking for some layered armor like those. Why were they taken off sale? C&D from GW?

I hope the site gets up soon... I'm hunting around for models to build more Honor Guard out of.... really liked the AI stuff last time around.... of course, I should be painting.

Nice work!

Nice looking HG!

Thanks guys, for people looking for a good way to build customized HG, I recommend 1 sternguard or vanguard set from GW and then 5 stormlords from AI +5 extra capes... works really really well. I think it would do well for the non-UM chapters too, as you can customize the look quite a bit with the AI and GW combination.

...if the site gets back up, that is (man a new release makes me really impatient).

I have to admit that I am very disappointed that I won't be able to buy these shoulder pads from your store. I just found out that you were the company that made them and have been waiting several days to order them while your website has been in maintenance mode. You don't have even one pair left to sell me?

Hey Joel. If it's some kind of C&D issue, it's understandable, but if not, please reissue them...

/agree

Hey Everyone,

@Lobukia! Awesome Models! Thanks for posting that, I think I'd seen a few single minis but not a whole squad with our bits.

@Ephrael - My apologies! Im afraid they are no longer available for sale.

Some good news though - THE WEBSITE IS BACK UP!

Apologies for the downtime, everything is fine now, and we have some new photos of some Painted Black Ops figures!

You can click these photos to go to the relevant product pages.

All these figures were painted by Stephen Moran, a customer our ours. I liked the style of his own Black Ops figures a lot so he kindly agreed to paint us up a small studio army!

Cheers,

Joel

Damn they look good.

I'll second that.

Is it just me or are these guys absolutely perfect for Reasonable Marines?

What happened to the option to buy complete sets of Exo-Lords?
