WarriorFish Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The choice is something that GW would do well to notice. Anvil's other work isn't great quality in my opinion but this is a significant jump up. Not only some excellent sculpts but with lots of options to boot! It'd be nice to see them expand this range, but time will tell. I'll be very interested to hear of experiences should any comrades invest :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322760-anvil-industries-regiments/#findComment-4405524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I can only recommend Anvil as a great product... Ok some of the poses of previous models where limited but they are quality casts with loads of detailing - I have bought loads from them including: Black ops to use as dismounted Ravenwing Snipers Robed legs/torsos + helmets And they have also supplied extra tripods for AM heavy weapon teams lately plus jump packs, bionics and Black ops legs for my DA ;) Fast delivery, good communication and well packaged - do I get my Anvil freebees now?? I can definitely be said to be a fan :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322760-anvil-industries-regiments/#findComment-4405567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 This is awesome for sure, and there's still more to come in wave two. These will make excellent scions count as. I don't know what you're talking about WarriorFish, I've ordered a lot of bits and models from Anvil Industry and they are great - almost no flashes and match really well with GW stuff.

WarriorFish Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm talking about the sculpts, some of them leave something to be desired. These are much better though, probably their best work I reckon.

HLVW Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The storm troopers I did up for the Lutam campaign were from the anvil range. Great sculpts to work with.

CoffeeGrunt Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I've bought Anvil's Republic Grenadiers in the past. The sculpts and quality of the resin was excellent, and delivery was pretty quick. On those particular models the poses were very limited, but it looks like these guys solve that issue. Really like the more current-era styling of these guys as well. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322760-anvil-industries-regiments/#findComment-4405895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebs_evo7 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Going to grab some heads and legs for my vets. I'll start a wip thread when i start building. I'm trying to decide between the Grenadier legs and the fatigue legs for some mechanized Grenadiers possibly using the arms from the scion kit but ill see how they look.

Icepick Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Holy throne! I think i'm in love That light armour torso looks like a cadian breastplate had a child with a MOLLE-vest, giving it that sweet tacticool look i'm missing on GW models. Combine that with the armoured arms and legs, plus a GW scion backpack and helmet to 40k-ify it a little (and to do that skull-mask paintjob on the helmet, see my WIP thread). Add a few of the accessories (i fancy mostly the underbarrel grenade launchers and the holosights) and i can build my scions almost perfectly the way i imagine them in my head. Modular Special weapon kits coming? Music to my ears! And the fatigue arms and legs plus the spec ops heads make perfect forward-observer-veterans. Oh the possibilities... And the best thing: Compared to what it costs to build my guys out of GW kits, these kits are roughly 2/3 of that price. No, i'm not drooling all over my keyboard, no! Okay maybe a little... On the downside, they are resin. I have never worked with resin before and i'm not overly exited to get the dust all over my hobby desk, which is my work desk at home and right in my living room... not the best combination. Also, i tend to periodically strip my miniatures of their paint coats and repaint them when my skill has improved. I'm not so sure how well resin reacts to that, the most common paint removers tend to destroy resin, if i'm correct. I heard you can take care of that with an ultrasonic-cleaner (expensive...) or with desinfectant, but i guess i just might have to find out myself if that works out the way i want it. I don't think i will be able to resist those models for long (at least as soon as i have some money on hand again)...

CoffeeGrunt Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 As far as resin, you won't get much dust as there's not much cleanup with these. A basic dust mask to be safe is all you'd need, and as long as you give them a good scrub in warm water with detergent, there won't be any real issues. As far as stripping it, keep a bit of the resin flash to one side to test and try getting some Biostrip. It's a no-smell, non-toxic paint stripper that we use locally. Strips anything in 30 minutes.

mertbl Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 They look fantastic. I do like the servo arm collection. I think I'll buy them to make servitors.

Well, the logical part of my brain has been making that conclusion as well, the irrational rest is still screaming: "(possibly) toxic dust in the living room? Not on my watch!" ;) I guess it's hardly going to kill you if you are a little careful, as you described. That Biostrip sounds pretty useful, but after a quick search it looks as if they are not shipping outside the UK, so it seems like that's not a viable option for me. But nonetheless thanks for your help! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322760-anvil-industries-regiments/#findComment-4408871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Ah, pity that, it's great stuff. I'm not sure what the active ingredient is, so I can't suggest alternatives that might be available on the continent. Acetone-Free Nail Varnish Remover is another option. I used to use it, but I never tried it on resin and it's nasty stuff that has a real chemical smell and isn't great for the skin.

WarriorFish Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Don't use nail varnish remover on plastics for long, I wouldn't risk it on resin. The Forge has had two topics discussing stripping that may be of use :tu: If you're going to do any stripping of note (i.e. older models/paints and/or in number) I can't recommend a sonic cleaner enough :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322760-anvil-industries-regiments/#findComment-4408906 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdr Fell-fist Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Funny you should say that, I was just planning to start my first WIP thread.

duz_ Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 If they were only slightly cheaper.... But I'm now considering using them as my vets and armoured fist squads with my mordian as platoons...
