Wow, love them so far! Will they be sold such that folks can pick the head style they like the most, rather than kind of a mix of differing styles?

Really great work . Only thing that stands out is obviously there's not a lot of posing yet, so the work you're doing there currently will pay off, I think

Thanks all, and sorry its taking longer than I expected to get these out, I keep thinking "Ooh I must include component X in the launch wave" which makes it all take longer!

@RiTides- Heads are supplied on sprues of 6, with all the same design, but a number of variations (with/without goggles for example).

I put 6 on there so people will have 12 heads for a 10 man squad, and thus don't have to use any variants they don't like so much.

No need to apologise.

A better, fuller product range is only a good thing for us your customers

Any chance of a size comparison pic v your new range, your afterlife minis and 40k

Haven't seen anything I don't like. As always top of the line.
Any greatcoat renders to show off?

Thanks guys!

@JoeRugby - Yes we will put up a load of scale comparison photos nearer the launch.

@Manus - Not yet, sorry! Wave one is all near future modern/sci-fi themed.

Wave two, which is pencilled in for late June/early July, will include greatcoat trench infantry, and the greatcoat legs will of course be fully compatible with all the Wave one torsos/arms!

I made the range fully modular and interchangeable so every time I add something new, the number of possible combinations increases hugely!

This is sounding better and better! If the parts are readily compatible with the various GW human kits (Cadians/Catachans/Scions/Skitarii etc) then they will be really great as conversion pieces too. Based on the utility of the existing Exo-lord stuff, I don't doubt they will be.

What happened to the Predator Strike Drones and Mauler Assault Drills, I can't see them on the webstore?

OK so I've just had a Friday afternoon browse on your website.

When you said you had a couple more Fallen Dwarf sculpts... you weren't kidding, were you?

So we have:

Spear dwarfs (4)
Firethrowers (2)
Axe-polearm-thing dwarfs (3)
Guardsdwarf (1)

In addition to the priest + guard added to the range earlier this year!

Lovely, lovely stuff!

Anvils Hammer, I note that AI is going to be at UK Games Expo at the start of June (according to the event's website) - could you confirm if we'll be able to place an order to collect at the show?

Are we going to see some regimental special weapons?

I'm guessing Joel's response will be a politer version of "does the pope ....in the woods?"

I'd guess it's a strong possibility as the black ops /steam lords range has some. But if not I'm guessing you would be able to use the imperial guard ones if you needed as they should be the same scale

Ooh ooh. All these new human regiments looks great.

Could I put in a request for some Solar System Heavily Armoured Space Gothic Naval Troopers as part of your range? I can only think of one current source of resin Space Navy Void Troopers - I'd love the option to convert my own...

Whilst I doubt gothic void suits would fit the design ethos of the range, I can see a near-future astronaut suit design being a possibility...? Some kind of EVA suit would be an awesome addition to Afterlife/the Regiments range/both. There was mention of moon colonies before, so orbital combat is a potential option?

I am having a lot of luck making "Gothic astronauts" out of a mix of Anvil weapons/legs, Dreamforge torsos and clutter and Skitarii heads.

Nice conversions Mook, I've been looking for something to do with my Dreamforged stuff for a while now!

Morning all!

We just got back last night from CARRONADE wargames show in Scotland, which was great fun!

@Haigus - The Regiments range will be most compatible with Cadian plastics (and many other companies products designed to fit Cadian parts) and should also be broadly compatible with other heroic scale kits.

We plan to make all components available separately, and also put up plenty of scale comparison photos and compatibility guidance.

@David Clarke - Both the Predator and Mauler are temporarily unavailable pending a resculpt - they will be available again later this year. I'm afraid I cant give any firm date. Apologies for any inconvenience.

@Momotaro - I am glad you like all the new stuff! We are certainly pleased to be selling it, and there may be more at a later date.

@Dysartes - Yes we are going to UKGE and YES, you can place collection orders, we will activate the Collect at Show option nearer the time and make an announcement on facebook/dakka.

@Javin - JoeRugby is broadly correct - The Regiments Special Weapons are in fact already 80% sculpted, and are based on the Exo-Lord ones, scaled down and with some improvements.
Ill get some renders up soon!

@Arbitorian and Haigus- I read the suggestion (Gothic Space suits) during a long car journey yesterday and immediately got my sketch book out, I've come up with a torso/head/Raygun set which will work with the Armoured arms and legs from wave one to make a sci-fi gothic infantryman. I dont know when I will get a chance to sculpt the bits, but they are on the way!
There is no set "design ethos" for the Regiments range, rather the plan is to release a range of differently styled components which can be used to make all sorts of unique and interesting troopers.

@Gasmasked Mook - Thanks for posing up the photos, they look really great!

ALL MY LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

Anvil, you guys are great! Awesome.

Quick shout for Anvils A+++ customer service. Ordered the Unity Council Marine Corps (x10) and when they turned up one of the torsos was missing.

Messaged Anvil to let them know and they straight away posted the missing torso to me (which arrived this morning) - also included 2 other torsos, a spare set off legs and some heads.

Awesome service and excellent casts

Regimentseize rayguns and voidsuits/space suits would be great (or atleast bits to combine with te rest of youre range)

Joel & Co make it easy to support them.

I've got an order I want to place, but am waiting for the regiments release. Too often I've hit the confirm button only for Joel to debut something else I want!

@Dysartes - Yep, you should see my CAD sculpting when I'm driving..

@BrookM - Not sure what to say to that.. I guess.. You're welcome? I hope you like the sculpts, I am looking forward to them, something a big differeny from the Near Future sci-fi of the wave one stuff.

@Ruglud - No problem and thanks, next time you place an order we will try not to mess up in the first place!

@Ironbars - the plan is for Gothic hazardous environment suits with large air tanks/ power pack, and they will be interchangeable with all the other parts in the range.

@Sockwithaticket - I think quite a few people are waiting! Sales have been slower than normal which isn't suprising as all we've put out for the past few months (other than the Blacksmith) is renders of product no one can buy yet!

I'm making good progress though, on track to launch this month.

Awesome, and quality is (as always) the priority but can't wait to see more when they're ready!

Hey all,

Here is the WIP render of the Specialist weapons, Ion Rifle, Fusion Cannon and Flame Thrower. I will also be adding a heavy Phase Rifle at some point.

The final version will have a power supply backpack with a cable attaching under the weapon.

The power supply and the top part of the weapon will be fully interchangeable between games, so you can take whatever equipment is needed for a particular enemy.

Oh sweet emperor these just continue to amaze. I loving the look and just sheer possibility of combinations to fit any theme. If those specialist weapons if magnet friendly as well they you probably have like a order of 40+ coming from me when they release XD!

Oh man, pre-made magnet holes would be so great for the special weapons!! That's always the only thing I want to vary in units, but it's really common to do so. Selling the weapons in a pack would make sense then, too, as folks could magnetize each option.

Really love the previews so far

I'm dreaming at this point but any chance those have holes for magnets? I'd presume possibly 2 sets of holes (the verticle facing surfaces). Either way that's really cool and a great system to build on.
EDIT: Ninja'd by RiTides

magnet holes would be very nice, Puppetswar do them on almost all their range and its very handy.

Hell, you could get in touch with them and see if you can make compatible packs, more variety never hurt anyone

would definitely be interested in making some cultists from the Regiments series, depending on cost and options

The combi weapons they do for the Black Ops figures have magnet holes. Wouldn't surprise me if these do too.

I like the plasma rifle. It kind of reminds me of the plasma rifle seen in the more recent iterations of Doom. Hmm. I wouldn't mind seeing a Doomguy helmet at some point.
