How about an Energy Revolver?
Perhaps you could model one as if it was being reloaded? (Like the battery (Where the 6 round chamber would be) has been discarded and a new one would soon replace it)

I've always wanted Galaxy Ranger Figures


especially robo horses


could be a good faction.

A gatling laser kind of weapon would be cool or some laser cannons. Maybe some halo style helmets for exo lords or regiments/afterlife? Would love to see an ODST helmet

We will be looking at making some of the Afterlife guns available separately. There is a limit to how many different guns we can feasibly produce, but some new ones are certainly in order in the coming months.

I like the "laser revolver" idea, I would probably do a mixed set, some holstered, and some with/without hand.

@Theophony - Wow that brings me way back! When I was a kid I had a Galaxy rangers annual/book my mum probably picked up at a boot sale. I loved it! Robot horses will definitely be making an appearance in Afterlife at some point.

A powered rapier would be awsome. Generally more variation is power swords. Like powered scimitars and calvary swords.

A Lazer musket with arms for the regiments and Lazer flintlock pistols would also be useful. I've been rewatching treasure planet recently.

Edit: http://treasure-planet.wikia.com/wiki/Laser_Musket

Silly space pirate stuff could tie in great with the silly space sheriffs and their robot horses.

I would second the call for ODST style helmets, though I would want ones that fit fairly standard human size minis.

I have plans for doing a headswap on my set of Mantic Enforcers when they come in. The only ODST-looking heads I can find are the ones from Pig Iron, and they don't look quite the same.

Rededacted. Postnot relevant

Power rapiers and a revolver plasma pistol or laser pistol would be really nice. Truthfully I've always wanted revolver shotguns though but, if you sell the former then I could do conversions.

You can never go wrong with EVA or spartan style helmets.

You mean like the Lucius pattern? If so, seconded!

Thirded, that would be ace.

Maybe a wider variety of bare heads and arms which include bionics. So not fully fledged bionic arms, but human limbs and heads with bionic components, thing implants, mouth pieces, noses, eyes (even more subtle 'metal eyes' like in Dune Messiah), etc.

Then there would be small terrain pieces, be it computer consoles, wall/floor panels (or bits for them), etc.

Still looking for fully helmeted versions of your exo-lord heads with the big breathing grill!

I second this robo horses I would buy Aton of them, please tell me that will happen soon pleaseeeeeee.

Maybe some kind of longer recon vehicle would be cool, more bots loads more bots

Tyranid guns, boneswords, scything claws, and a Tyrannocyte pod!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for further suggestions!

@Lockark - regiments melee weapons would be a good addition, there isn't currently anything like that in the range. It would probably be a variety pack with scaled down versions of Exo-Lord weapons, for officers and similar.

@Slayer Dragonwing - The basic problem is that I cant (and wouldn't want to) just copy the ODST design without getting in legal trouble. The pig Iron helmet is likely to be your best bet if they already do something nearly right.

@Stormwall and BrookM - Revolving Shotgun is very cool! Ill bear that in mind, though again, I cant just copy the Forgeworld picture..

@Malika2 - Partially bionic arms would be really cool. most likely to see product as part of character models. If I do any updated bionic sprues Ill try to include at least one partly bionic set.

The problem with bionic face implants is that even with very high resolution 3D design and printing, the final component is still only 3-4mm tall, so its virtually impossible to make facial bionics which are visible on the model.

No current plans for terrain components.

@SickSix - Ill add it to the possibles list, although there is the issue of the resulting product being very close to one of the Forgeworld Power Armour Marks (I suspect this it why you want it), which means I cant risk it unless I can come up with a design which is noticeably different/original.

@LDD - Robot horses are coming, but probably not for a LONG time.

@Koreg - thanks for the suggestion, but I wont be doing anything non-human, I just cant get excited about that sort of thing. Also I'm pretty sure GW already produce most of that, and if I tried, they would (quite fairly) deploy power armoured legal teams faster than I can say 'drop pod assault on East London'



oh and one more thing.. some NEW PRODUCTS!

We now have some awesome highly detailed Muzzle Flash components - A sprue of 10 different parts, available in two scales for different types of weapon!



Scenic Muzzle Flashes Store Link

and when the dust settles, there are likely to be spent shell casings all over the place!

Spent Shell Casings Store Link

Both products are available now.

In a few days time, our next releases are a variety set of Grenades and explosive charges, and a sprue of Medieval Wax Seals and parchments.

Thanks everyone!

3rded. i would kill for a set of galaxy rangers style robo horses

It wasn't really what I was suggesting, and i'm confused how my two suggestions turned into scale downed exo lord cc weapons.

I sujested a new rifle type for regiments and you could expand the current range of cc weapons. I felt the exo lord cc weapons looked fine on regiment scale mini's. I don't think I would ever bother buying slightly small versions of the same cc weapons.


If you don't like the idea it's alright. But I felt I need to try and clarify what I was saying.

I never pulled the trigger on the GW steampowered knight model from way back, as close to a robotic horse as I have found that looked decent. But I could go for mounted galactic police force troops.

Ambidextrous boarding shields!

The existing Riot Shield is ok, but it looks a bit medieval and lacking in heft if I'm brutally honest.

I had a few more thoughts. How about doing a close combat unit for Afterlife? Maybe some kind of Metal Gear-esque high tech combat cyborg decked out in tactical gear?

Or, how about a Guyver type bio armor?

Partially bionic arms would be really cool. most likely to see product as part of character models. If I do any updated bionic sprues Ill try to include at least one partly bionic set.

Here some ideas:


Or maybe just arms with bionic hands, or have a bionic upper arm, etc.

The problem with bionic face implants is that even with very high resolution 3D design and printing, the final component is still only 3-4mm tall, so its virtually impossible to make facial bionics which are visible on the model.

Good point, so the bionics would have to be more prominent, kinda like what you have in 40k. That would be ok too, but then with a less crude/grimdark aesthetic, something more fitting with what you're already doing with Afterlife.

Cyborg gun arm sounds super cool.

Would also like to see some cool sci fi basing kits, tools, boxes, pipe connections and fittings, ammo boxs, maybe even objective type things.

For the basing stuff, you are probably already pretty well catered for by companies like Zinge industries, I can't see it being too worth it for Anvil to join in that party too. They have some of their own bases, but they have said they want to cut the base line if possible.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
More bionic variants would be awesome though.

Hmm, how about more civilian models?

Or some 'void warfare' related stuff, imagine something along the lines of space suits, gravity boots, protective suits, or harnesses.

But then I'm also dreaming of see through components for helmets, but that might be tricky...

EDIT: oh oh oh oh, how about quilted armor components, be it shoulder pieces, leg pieces, torsos, etc?

Futuristic barbarians for use in post-apocalyptic settings...

Both the trendy bald "witness this!"-kind and heavier ones with facemasks, mohawks, etc.
Made in GW-size (i.e. with heroic heads and feet).
And with suitable weapons (wrenches, bionics, crossbows, boomerangs, etc.).

How about seated trooper legs? I have a bunch of Warthogs that I could equip so much easier if someone made decent seated, slightly bent legs.

What if you made some generic futuristic ganger parts capable with IG kits so people can make Necromunda characters with a little flare?

I understand where you're coming from.. and the need to continue down the more well-trodden path.. just thought it would be nice to throw it out and see if it got any traction

I would love to see exolord size boarding shields, or riot shields...

what about a medic conversion parts for exo-lords or

large BLANK banners, with staffs etc...

I think the robot drones needs some back up, something like this?
