So this spring, as a class project I started on this

Now I find a strange need to buy a few squads of void suited infantry...

Then I can play warhammer, in the proper uniform (all 50+ lbs of it

"Size Matters"

Amazing

Great work Anvil, keen to expand my little collection of these.

Wow, that is just beautiful work! Really highlights the sculpts, too

Since Anvil Industry made the fantastic Frag Launcher, how's about making a Shotgun in a holster?

Once it's clear that the weapon combo you're thinking of won't be FAQed out of existence it may well be worth doing

If they FAQ it, they would need to take away Special Weapons on C:SM bike squads.

They don't need to do anything, they've made plenty of contradictory or inconsistent FAQ answers already... They can simply write that Veterans can't take both a Bolter and a Shotgun and that's that, which I suspect is what they'll do.

There's like a secret language going on here, how did you guys know what he was talking about?

Even if they do that, which I doubt they will, shotguns in holsters or boltguns in holsters would still be quite useful for Deathwatch.

So absolutely no news from Joel for a lot of time: either he's planning some big release (usually goes dark before that) or on vacation. Which one is it Joel?

I think. he said he was going on holiday just before the frag cannon was released.

Well deserved then!

Frag Launcher .

Afternoon all!

@Commander Dante - There are some large scale pads, and large bionic arms, but otherwise no, and no current plans to release any more bits in the forseable future. I need to do a full revamp of most of the main Exo-Lords line first and that is pencilled in for early next year.

@Gomez- Got an Afterlife Character launch planned for the end of the month, and a preview/preorder of the Regiments trenchers, which are a little behind schedule but should be available by the middle of next month (at least for pre order)

@Nekooni - Thanks, and no current plans for a combi weapon as you decribe, but its a possibility at some point.

@Hotshot - image link is broken.. I feel like I need to see it!

@Various people discussing shotguns - Yes, we know we need a new Exo-Lord shotgun, Ill make a sprue with some with hands and at least one holstered one. Not sure exactly when I will get to it.


@Manus - fortunately for me, and unfortunately for everyone waiting on new stuff, I was indeed on holiday for a lot of August.

I'm back now, almost caught up with admin/sorting, and parts to make Regiments heavy weapon squads will be out next week!

The "Big release" is the regiments trenchers, which I will preview at the end of the month, and possibly put up for a pre order period so we can gauge demand.


For today, we have a COMPETITION!!

This weeks conversion corner is an entire Deathwatch Killteam, lovingly converted by me and Adam and maxed out with Anvil bits to make the baddest and most original/unique squad possible.

and you can WIN the squad, not the parts to make the squad, the actual miniatures shown here!

For more information on the Unit and how we built it, head over to the Conversion Corner page on our website HERE

To enter the competition, just head over to the Facebook post HERE, Like it, and leave a comment of some kind, in order to enter into the draw. We have 2 x £15 vouchers up for grabs as well.

Cheers

Joel

I particularly like the Greek-styled trooper, he just has such an awesome theme and it executes amazingly. The rest are good, but he is the stand-out for me.

A treat to paint as always, C-48 Warden Autonomous Mech from Afterlife. http://anvilindustry.co.uk/AFTERLIFE/Unity-Council/Warden-Mech

I think these would be brilliant alongside to Regiments miniatures too, might need to pick up more of these in the future...

Weren't the regiments heavy weapon teams supposed to be this week? And the greatcoat previews?

I like the eye lenses MOTN, good job all round. Certainly better than I can paint.

@MOTN - As usual superb work! Really like the red lenses and battle worn look!
Ill be sticking these (with your permission) in an upcoming blog post, as we are almost ready to re-release the Warden mechs, they've been out of production for well over 6 months now!

@Nostrodamus -

Yes they were.. Our careful planning has once again been thrown off track BUT..

We have the molds now, so fingers crossed we will be launching the Regiments heavy weapon teams tommorow! Or certainly, the next few days.
I actually started painting up a team of Tallinn Citadel Guard with Heavy Grenade Launcher, so far I've got some nice scenic bases done..

Also this week we will be launching our new Hobby Blog, the C-48 Wardens return.
Next week will see the launch of our special Halloween figure, a Werewolf, which I started work on today.

After that.. the two new characters recently previewed for Afterlife, along with new character rules PDF.

and after that (I.e in a couple of weeks time) we will be previewing the Trenchers and putting them up for Pre-Order with some kind of special deal.

Aiming for end of the month with the trencher stuff, so only a month behind schedule.. not too bad.

Brilliant, I look forward to seeing these trenchers

I swear if those Trenchers look like DKoK....
You will have ALL of my money

Trenchers preview please!!!

Good news Commander Dante -

Thanks to Forgeworld making their DKOK look almost exactly like French WW1 infantry, I can make our trenchers look almost exactly like WW1 infantry and they will looks strikingly similar to DKOK.

There will of course be a few differences here and there, I dont want to do exactly the same Sci-fi take.

Our range will have parts for making british and russian style trenchers as well as the french/german style helm.

No previews yet - I am hoping to have them up for pre-order in a couple of weeks time, for a general release in late October or early November.

For now, here is a painted Tallinn Citadel Guard Heavy weapons team I did yesterday!

And the new Heavy Weapons Squad here -

Cheers

Excellent heavy weapon teams! The Martin Orbital Fusilier team is the exact configuration I was planning on - they go great with the tractor mount.

Well hello there alternate Rapier models!

That helmet! Wow.

I'll be ordering as soon as I have the cash. My Imperial Knights will finally have their foot guard

Thanks guys!

@BrookM - Rapiers are rather larger are they not? Ill probably do our own tracked support unit base at some point, but don't hold your breath waiting, got a lot queued up already!

Awesome that you offer the tracked bases as an option for the heavy weapons, I think they were part of Afterlife originally right? Just love those things

Ooh, I'll hold out then, I'm the patient sort, still need to paint my Void troops anyway!
