🕑 Added 2021-01-15 17:54:14 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
Thanks for your patience!
Mech Updates
I am making good progress with the Mech. It's not quite there yet (in the renders below, further work is needed on the arms and legs particularly the armour plates (which are optional) but is almost ready for posing and final print prep/testing.



The plan is to release a download pack next week with the "low tech" torso option shown in these renders, plus the arms and guns, with a couple of poses each of the legs and arms.
A further download will follow toward with the higher tech torso/power plant options and a few other components. This means you all get some files to work with without having to wait for everything to be fully finished.


Fully detailed interior^^^
For those of you who want to model and paint the interior - it will be possible to print the torso in separate components - all hatches are also separate and can be modelled open or closed!

Shoulder pads are optional, and the component in the renders is an early place holder component, to be fully reworked/improved.
Resin Drop Troops
It's been almost a year since our last release of new resin products. We are itching to get going again and we are in the final stages of preparing the resin Drop Troops for release! Gothic Void Troops will follow on soon, and we will also be releasing content from other prior months when we can!
Bonus February Preview - Tankette
We don't want to start major February previews just yet to avoid confusion with the delayed Mech, but the design team showed this off in our recent planning meeting and I'm excited to share it!
As well as regular infantry and multi part/modular Ogres, February will include a Tankette!

This model is based on various real world tiny fighting vehicles, which are no longer used by modern militaries.. we can't imagine why!
As well as the crewed light scout version, we have also done an artillery carriage version.
More previews soon!
Thanks again,
Team Anvil

I've got a Guard Drop army that should use these as the sentinel... these are fantastic. and far better looking than GW's sentinels. Amazing design and outstanding modeling.
Rob Henderson
This is the BEST so far. I hope there are more like this, maybe even more options or designs. Great work!
Xanterra
omg I love tiny tanks
colin graham
That Walker with the roll cage is awesome!
joel pitt
It is unfortunately impossible to make something which everyone will like, I have tried! I have several sentinels, and while there are certainly some strong similarities, I don't think my design has more in common with a sentinel than with any number of other similar bi-pedal mech walkers.
joel pitt
well, wait for the high tech torso/power plant which might be more what you are after.
joel pitt
Yep already in there along with modular ogre parts :)
If its not too late to ask, for over the top part 2, can we get the over the top ogres gun as a separate bit?
Drachnien
love it! got a strong Maschinen Krieger vibe to me
Wesley Conklin
Was hoping for anything but a Sentinel with arms, guess you win some you lose some.
Northern Light
I feel sorry but I don't like it, at the end of the day it ist just a "not sentinel".
joel pitt
Pilot will have a head, but head and torso can be swapped out if desired - any regiments resin or DIgital Forge head will work.
chris king
Holy shit snacks! I wasn't sold on earlier renders but that came out awesome! Will possibly be needing 18 of these bad boys
Richard Daglish
Guessing fairly generic pilot without head so we can match to whatever infantry were using ?
RIGHT?! This mech is exactly the droid we've been looking for
or a Carden Loyd tankette
alright, looks like you hit all the points i wanted in my mech for years. thanks, very excited. the tankette looks awesome as well
Sebastian Becker
Look at the "Wiesel"-tank of the German Army, there you have a tiny bad-ass tank
Dragten
Getting the titanfall vibe here and I AM LOVING IT!
RAG MASTER
Oh, it looks amazing. Great work. Keep it up!
Anthony Davies
So glad I joined this looks great. Interior on the mech is awesome addition. Im crossing my fingers for ww1 style artillery
madmusial .
Looking forward to app of these things. Especially that mech gun, I think it may be rescaled and work its way onto some Heavy Gear units.
joel pitt
I looked at a LOT of mech concept art! Didn't see that one though
joel pitt
Yep removable glass elements will be included. If you do this please send me photos!
Michael Virks
Looks super-awesome. Will there be a model for the cockpit with the glass parts "filled", for those of us who want to print it in clear resin (and then paint the frame)?
I love that this mech looks like the SNAKE armor from GI JOE https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/83/snake/
Billy Pistole
Looking really good! I was not too excited about the mech initially but you've knocked it out of the park, great job!
Lucas French
That mech makes me drool in anticipation
