I like the mechanical arm backpack, but could you put up an image of all the tools and weaponry available for it? I'm thinking it could be a handy way to transform a mini into a mad surgeon type, but would be interested in seeing all the possibilities.

click through to their site - there's loads more pics there, including sprue shots

Cool Jetpacks!

Ooh I really like the mechanical harness, that will be a great conversion part! Your Exo Lords parts were already a treasure trove for Iron Hands players with the bionic pieces, this harness is the cherry on the cake!

As much as I like the Afterlife stuff, the Exolord bits have always been my favorite! Those latest backpacks are perhaps the coolest accessories yet.

Happy to see new exo lord stuff coming out!

Noice. Love the grabby manipulators underslung on the cutters.

Awesome mechanical harness - it finally got me to place an order for more Crane drones, too (although I see they are called "C-48 autonomous mechs" now!). Absolutely love the ones I got from the Kickstarter and have been meaning to flesh them out! Was trying to delay till you had more weapon options, but this tipped the scales

Evening all,

A couple of new Exo-Lord releases available now!

We needed to make a new mould for our "leather straps" product, and I decided instead it was time for a total digital resculpt to improve the quality and detail level.

At the same time, I couldn't resist making a matching set of Shoulder Pads with the same strapping!

Here is an example figure built up -



and the products -

There are 5 Pad and 6 Strap sculpts, all slightly different.

Are the shoulder pads supposed to be pitted like that?

Everything looks stumpy because it's heroic scale. If that had a smaller head on it, it would look more like what you're expecting I think.

EDIT: I took the liberty of Photoshopping a smaller head to show what I mean. If you like the look, then look for companies with closer to truescale helmets and add them to the Anvil armor.

I think Henshini wants to know is that moulded-in damage, or are there air bubbles in those shoulderpads?

Looks like moulded-in damage to me. Never known one of Anvil's sculpts to have that sort of bubbling in them.

Yeah, it is battle damage - from the email they sent out promoting the pads:

"We've digitally re-sculpted our leather straps to create this new higher quality and more finely detailed version, also at the same time created some matching Centurion Pauldrons, with subtle battle damage."

I like them. Ties in nicely with the new HH Battle for Calth release... I am rather tempted to spruce up some Ultramarines with them.

I finally painted the first minis of my pledge!


One of the best KS experiences so far. The minis are simply GREAT! I wish that the minis of Imperial Assault, Zombicide etc. would be of that quality.
Show here are my 1st Afterlife minis, the Republic Commando Assault Specialists. I will use them as near future SWAT men.

Nice work! Loving the lenses. I really need to get round to painting all the drones I bought...

Agreed AAN, just got my order from the webstore and the quality of the minis here is one of the best in the business

I wholeheartedly agree with the comments on Anvil's production quality. The almost non-existent levels of mould release agent used on the models is also a great boon as I really hate cleaning resin. Not having to do that to the Shard Strike + add-ons is a massive time saver!

I like that Mechanical Arms Conversion Set. With a little alteration, it would make a fantastic set for converting a Space Marine into a Techmarine. Definitely considering a purchase or two here. Between the cloaks and Centurion Straps I want for my Honour Guard, and this set, I will probably have a big purchase coming up.

Morning all,

Re: the Shoulder pads - yep there is a small amount of moulded in damage/dents. I tried to keep it subtle enough that people can ignore it if they want too.

Physical paint chips like that are easy to add digitally, but a pain to create with modelling tools

@AAN - they look great! thanks for posting the photo, we look forward to seeing more

Thanks all for the positive comments about our manufacturing quality, we certainly do our best!

Thanks, more Afterlife is definately on the queue, right now I have to paint more SW (with Anvil heads and parts)...



My take on the elite red Storm Trooper. Again a simple but IMO very effective head swap.
The heads are from Anvil Industries Black Ops Exo Lords Helmets/Heads Set. After that a darker grey paint.
Beneath the suit they are all blue Chiss!


As usual more on my Website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/imperial_assault.html

Morning all,

You sly devil...

@ Mr Anvil: will you be doing 32mm round bases (specifically 'Forge Ruins') in the future? I bought a whole bunch of 25mm ones before someone decided that they were too small & upped the size.
Cheers!

Launching this Friday! Brand new Black Ops Strike Team. plus all the separate bits components.




@Bubber - No I'm afraid we've got no plans to release 32mm bases at the moment. We will be selling 30mm black plastic bases (close enough, for some people) and our 30mm Hyper-City base toppers which also work ok on 32mm.

I'm afraid our current base range is a huge headache to manufacture and keep in stock, and for the price people are willing to pay for bases, its just not worth our time, when we could be developing awesome new miniatures instead.

AWESOME!!
The new weapons look ace too and the base is a stunning addition!

Really looking forward to those.

Very cool. I see you've redesigned the Black-Ops arms a bit. I don't recall them having the undersuit visible like that. I think I actually like it more than the usual visible cables.

Any new Afterlife figures or bits on the horizon? We never di get torsos or arms to go with the heads, legs, and shoulder armor.
