I'm planning a full review of these parts in the near future, but I wanted to share the first few miniatures I created last night. I've been building them as a reimagining of a classic unit from my gaming past (Del'Ragio's Desert Dogs), and I'm hoping to put them to work in some games of Inquisitor (28mm scale) as a unique Planetary Defence Force unit (hence the different armaments).
They're made mostly with Anvil parts and I have to say that so far I'm loving it. The details are great and they've been fun to work on; for more info than that, you'll have to read the full review (planned to be up in a few days).
On a side note, I'm planning to build and paint all of these miniatures in February as part of the Squaduary (#Squaduary) challenge started by Rory at Stepping Between Games (http://steppingbetweengames.com/). The challenge is to build and paint a unit in a month; so it just seemed like the perfect challenge to combine with these guys, especially as they arrived on my doormat on 01th Feb!
I'll have more info on Squaduary later, but for now I'm just showing last night's progress:
Those bits look awesome, a nice elite look to the squad.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd like to say there was some skill involved on my part, but this time the minis are doing the work so I don't have to!
DeleteThe more of Anvil Industries stuff I see, the bigger fan I am becoming of it! Good luck with #Squaduary!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work there chief, glad to have you on board.
ReplyDeleteAnvil do great parts but you need to pick which ones to usr and where.
Yeah, I did think quite carefully about what to get; considering the look I was aiming for. They're good value too considering the level of customisation available - at £3 for 6 heads, you could outfit a lot of guardsmen (or make some very cheap and cool looking veterans!)
