@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.

That's a shame. Thanks for answering.

Anvil is that a new torso with pouches and stuff like we were discussing in PM a while back? If so, I am piqued in the area of interest.

Yep it is! Sorry it took so long, you were not the only one to ask for them!

Digitally designed, so higher quality than the existing minis, but will still match the older figures.

A set of 6 torsos with assorted pouches moulded in, plus extra pouches, will be available to purchase on Friday along with the other new parts.

I've also done a set of 6 new black ops heads to match.



@Barzam - Yeah a slight redesign - the armour is almost identical, on the old parts the gaps underneath are just smooth surfaces - not very realistic, It made sense to me that they would have a flexible undersuit of some kind.

Have the discounts been just taken off the prices or does it happen at checkout? I can't tell, prices don't look any different.

Soooo its 4am UK time and the prices aren't any different? Are they supposed to discount at checkout or what? I have to work all day tomorrow so sorry if I am being kind of pushy, I just want to get my stuff.

Hey Guys,

I'm sorry - about half the prices changed at midnight, but some didn't change till 5.30am due to a human error, specifically, I forgot to change some. Oops.

The good news is that ALL discounts are now live, and also,

@Ultimentra : The sale doesn't end until midnight on Sunday UK time, so there is no huge rush to make purchases today, you'll get your stuff no problem

I have a lot of love for those new pistols in particular.

:( Placed my order shortly after midnight...only the normal prices were up and I thought I would get the Black Friday sales reduction at the end of the process...nope got none.

Now I know why.
T'was late in the UK too.

The new models and accessories look awesome. You force me to order more in the future! And hope for more of these too... maybe some Black Ops riot shields...

Don't worry, we will refund the discount ammount you should have got next week when we get back to the office, no one will lose out because of my error.

if you want to add or amend anything, send us an email over the weekend

cheers

Thanks indeed for your kind offer Joel, but everything is fine , otherwise I wouldn't have made the joke!
I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the new Black Ops, no matter what!

And I wouldn't have written that I'm going to buy more, which I will do today.
Still debating with my crying wallet.

@miniholic - cool, we will try and combine them and upgrade your shipping.


everyone else -

THREE HOURS TO GO in our BLACK OPS FRIDAY sale, big savings to be had if you place an order before midnight today (UK time).

Evening all,

A new release for Afterlife tonight -

Kira was a bodyguard miniature released as a stretch goal during the original KScampaign, and LOTS of people requested a twin miniature in a different pose, so finally available for retail release -

Kira and Dakota, lethal warriors with four swords and two shotguns between them!



Product Page

These two are very colourful characters in Afterlife, but are also ideal as unique looking character figures in a range of other games.


A quick announcement for any posters from LONDON - this Saturday 5th we will be at the "Dragonmeet" game convention, in Earls Court, South London, so would be great to see you if you can make it!

They look really good Joel ! Ill probably buy those and find a use later !

Erm... is there any way to just get Dakota for those of us that already have Kira from the Kickstarter to avoid duplicates? I can see it being a pain to offer the model alone though.
Thanks in advance

@Big H - Thanks very much!

Haha, I was waiting for a KS backer to ask, perfectly fair request and yes, we can sell the new pose separately for £5, but only to KS backers who received the first one.

Just send us an email and we can sort it out.

Ta I will likely wait until I'm getting a full order of bitz to go with it though, I love the weapon attachments and will be needing a few more now BaC is a thing...

Still a WIP...

Jaw-dropping gorgeous and slightly arousing!!

Seriously just paint something badly for once please, I see your miniature painting and think I won't even bother .......

Do you have any plans to make a sprue of female heads?

The anvil females are some of the best around and there seems to be a market judging from the success of Statuesque minis female head packs.

By the way, I wonder what you guys would be able to do in regards to designing terrain (kits)...

Work in progress? rub it in!

Thanks all,

@Haigus - no problem, just email us when you are ready!

@Dwartist - thanks for posting! looking beautiful!

@Zywus - Yes I am planning to release character head packs, male and female, at some point, but its not a priority right now.

@Malika2 - I have so many ideas for terrain projects, and I would love to get to work on some of them, but sadly its unlikely I will be able to any time soon.

Anyone want some RULES? A FREE pdf of the current AFTERLIFE game rules, including almost all available units, can be downloaded here -

FREE AFTERLIFE RULES (12.8 mb PDF download via Dropbox)

This is the first publically available rules set, and its complete enough for a good game, If any of you get a chance to try the game out and have some ideas/feedback, we are very open to suggestions!

Next up - Vehicle rules, and some starter missions from the Shard Initiative campaign.

Nice! At first glance, looks very cool, and love the layout

You'll eventually be offering a printed version, right - any timeline on that?

Ooh, rules! Been waiting for these for a whole! Downloading now and will take a look later!

Hey, I have a couple of sets of the republic grenadier legs http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/Grenadier-Legs-Advancing and Unity Council Marine legs http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/AFTERLIFE/Conversion-Parts/Marine-Legs-Advancing and they look great but I need some ideas of what they actually fit with?

The "problem" with them is that they're fairly large, and also have the belt sculpted in as part of the legs along with lots of great pouches and stuff. This rules out most GW torsos which usually have the belt as part of the torsos. For instance Cadian torsos give you a weird looking double-belt and also are a bit too small anyway.

Scion torsos look like they'd scale ok but you'd have to file off all the pouches to get them to fit which is a bit self defeating.

Has anyone used these in any conversions or do I need to wait for Anvil torsos to go with them? Are there any other third party torsos that successfully match with them?

Official torsos and arms would be nice to see eventually. For your current "problem" though, you might want to look into Mad Robot Miniatures' torso selection. Their MOLLE and Combat Vest torsos don't have sculpted on belts, so they should look okay.

I wear more than one belt with my combat gear .

Yeah, I've had to wear a belt for a shoulder harness and another for drop leg and other stuff. If you're covered in a bunch of the MOLLE platform gear you run out of room pretty fast. I've had to wear shoulder harnesses at the same time as a hydration bladder too.. I think people expect things to look a certain way but reality doesn't always happen like that.
