I case you didn't know AP featured your miniatures on their website.

Do you guys still have these visor helmets for sale?

I'm looking to order 30-40 techno barbarians

Well seeing as the pads that go with those helmets have been removed from the site have gone I am guessing that the helmets have also had to be taken down. Shame as I wanted some more of those fellas...

Well, that would suck. I have been wanting some Thunder Warriors for skirmish games, especially as now Anvil is carrying more portable heavy weapons.

Hey Guys,

@sing your life - Yes I know, they used our models with our permission - some great paint jobs.

@Mrflutterpie - Those heads were actually withdrawn from sale a long time ago as I wasnt particularly happy with the part and mould quality.
Ill always withdraw a product rather than sell somthing which isnt as good as I can make it, and Im afraid Ive not got round to remastering it.

Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the occasional withdrawal of a product - there are various reasons and its not somthing I do without careful though.


At the moment Im working hard on concepts, background and miniatures for a totally new wargames universe Im creating, so you will hopefully forgive me for neglecting the existing product range!

Im hoping to be able to share some details of the new project in a few weeks time.

Cheers,

Joel

This is why you're tops. I'm really looking forward to the regiments stuff. You can get a super human sized shoulder pad in any style you'd care for, but run of the mill humans are left in the dust.

Love the new stuff. You know, I think it's about time Steam Lords had a range of gravity-based weaponry. I have a feeling it might be really popular at the moment....

Are the snipers a full five man unit yet?

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

Sorry I didn't see an answer to my question above. I think it got lost as the last post on the previous page.

@noneoftheabove0

I was planning a separate "Regiments" range of generic infantry. Im now going to be working on figures for my new game system, however a large portion of them will be human infantry in the same scale so useable in other systems. Ill also hopefully make the regiments scale shoulder pads available at some point.

@Arbitorian - A good suggest but as above, working on a totally new project so all "bits" work is on hold for the foreseeable future.

@RiTides - Yes the 5 man Recon team is available now -

@SickSix , Yes my apologies I missed that one. - We've unfortunately had to withdraw the "complete sets" options from sale for various reasons - cost, complexity of packing orders etc. We want to focus on full kits like the Black Ops which are easier for us to make and also easier for the customer to assemble and game with! Apologies for any inconvenience - All the Exo Lord parts are still available separately so you can make full figures up if you want to.

Cheers,

Joel

Sweet! But it is listed as out of stock... is that normal, and I should feel fine to go ahead and order it? If so, I'll be doing so shortly

With a new Codex dropping, I just wanted to once again give a shout-out to Anvil and his wonderful Skull helmets for all your custom-chaplain needs!




I have never received anything I have not been satisfied with.

That render you showed before of the spec-ops trooper, is he on hold for a while, or is he just not happening now? It's a bit disappointing that the Exo-Lords are going on hiatus. I'm sure that whatever you come up with for your new line is going to be awesome though.

Oops my bad - It was out of stock as the mould is worn out, but I made a new mould last night, so Its back in stock now. Thanks for reminding me!

@d-usa - Cheers, great looking model!

@Barzam - Yes the rendered parts are on hold, but will be used in some form or another as figures for my new project, so human infantry will be available for that.

I was planning a full range of "stand alone" human infantry similar to Victorian Miniatures and others, but the plan now is gearing everything around my planned game system, which is a much more exciting prospect for me from a creative point of view.

Im very proud of the Exo-Lords range and all the bits we sell, but Anvil is over two years old now, we have an awesome business set up and have all the skills we need to make some really awesome figures, so its time to take the next step and work on something totally new, which I hope plenty of our existing customers will get behind.

I have the first prototype figure on my desk, I really wish I could share it already but we are keeping a lot back for "launch" all one go, Hence why things have been quiet recently!

Cheers Everyone,

Joel

We don't appreciate quiet - nope not a bit............horsehead, bed, plan

So long as its a tiny resin horse head that's fine!

Im hoping the new stuff will be sufficiently well recieved that you will all forgive me the extended absence, Its really nice to be working on stuff from scratch with no "what are people going to be able to proxie this as" requirements to think about, I can use my full creative design skills.

Okay, I know that you're trying to keep everything under wraps right now, but just answer me this, is this new project going to be sci-fi, fantasy, or neither?

Please give us fair warning before Exo-Lords go away.

I Iove those figures and had planned to purchase a fair amount. I still do put need some wallet recovery time.

That's a shame. I always ordered "complete sets" whenever I made an order from you. The small savings always made me spend more.

Yeah, I hope the Exo Lord stuff doesn't get discontinued. While I wish you all the best with your game, my interest really lies with interesting and cool components to mix in with "compatable plastic and resin kits from other manufacturers". If you do decide to withdraw them, please give us at least a month. (I get paid fortnightly, and usually have bills queued up I have to pay, which makes it hard to suddenly drop a pile of money on stuff).

/agree

I second that motion. don't get rid of the Exo Lord Line. I have discovered the vanguard legs, arms etc and are in love with them (especially since another bigger company has turned on the bitz market and almost squashed it right out of existence)!!

That being said I am looking forward to your new lineup

At the very least, please keep the Vanguard guys going for a while. They're some of your best product.

well I can spill some beans.. Its near future Sci-Fi, a global civil war across earth and the Orbital/Lunar Colonies.

No Swords, Daemons or Skulls, so apololgies to anyone who likes those things...


Dont worry guys, we have no plans to withdraw any current products from sale, I hope to sell the Exo-Lords and particularly the Black Ops for many years to come!

In the event we are forced to withdraw any product by shall we say.. "outside influences" then of course we will give our customers as much warning as we possibly can.

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


"COLOURS" Tradeshow is this weekend September 14th/15th at Newbury Racecourse in Reading, we will be attending the show both days, so if any of you guys are in the southeast of England do pop over and say Hi! We will have the whole product range with us.

Cheers,

Joel

Sounds interesting - I do think there is a law against "no swords" though!
Perhaps it's an IP thing - I'm pretty sure someone used the concept No Swords before........

Are there still plans to finish the fully enclosed versions of the heads above?

It would make me very sad if that project has been abandoned.

And THANK YOU for confirming that the EXO-LORDS are sticking around.

hey anvil something i have been wondering ever considered to make short legs for the exo-lords so its possible to make exo-dwarfs hmmm?

though mostly asking this because noone else have something like that and i generaly suck at cutting legs ehehehehe

Anvil Industry presents AFTERLIFE, a project to create a new narrative driven war gaming experience.



I am finally able to release the first details of our new project Ive been working on for a few months now, its in its very early stages, and we will be launching a Kickstarter in a few weeks to get some awesome new artwork and miniatures in production!

What is AFTERLIFE?

Over a number of separate volumes, we will tell the story of a near-future Earth torn apart by civil war after the collapse of the social order imposed by the Unity Council.

Earth burns as sprawling Mega Cities built for a world of prosperity become brutal war zones and the Unity Council’s authority crumbles away. Dozens of corporations, emergent governments and resistance movements form loose factions and alliances in battles for control of Earth’s resources and technology.

We plan -

-New range of high quality 28mm scale Science Fiction miniatures.
-Exciting and innovative rules set designed for high speed tactical play.
-Immersive narrative background story with stories , graphic elements and artwork.
-Missions and scenarios which allow players to recreate the ongoing story on the tabletop.

Each new Volume of AFTERLIFE will expand on previously released Volumes, adding new miniatures and rules options, and continuing the narrative to its eventual dramatic conclusion.

The AFTERLIFE Volumes will be player driven and interactive. You will be able to report back the outcomes of battles and the tactical choices made during campaigns, and we will use this information to drive the next stage of the campaign or impact events in future Volumes.

You can leave any feedback and suggestions here, but I've also set up a dedicated discussion thread in Misc.Wargames for more in depth discussion of rules and miniature concepts! You can find that thread HERE.

Cheers,

Joel

Sounds rather GATES-y, but I strangely have more confidence in your ability to pull this off!

Good luck - looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I was thinking that exact same thing!

However, I'm curious to see how you guys will (try to) pull it off. Sounds very interesting.

Also noticed you guys are looking for writers/proofreaders, consider me interested!

Good luck on this Joel!

I can vouch for Malika's writing ability, top quality and highly recommended. (Getting pretty good at digital modelling also).
