Anvil Industries Bits

Yesterday, I received an eagerly awaited package from Anvil Industries in the UK!

Heads for the Goliath gang, and extra goodies.

As most of you may know, last month saw the re-release of a version of Necromunda by Games Workshop. It has some significant differences to the old game, while still drawing from its roots. I got the game, but held off on building any of the figures for the included gangs. I wanted to do something different with them, and just couldn't figure out what that would be.

Enter Ram Sosen, who posted his Goliath ganger conversion on Facebook. As soon as I saw his photos, I knew I had to use his idea! I absolutely love the way the Goliath gangers look with Brodie-style gladiator helmets from Anvil. They add a ton of character to the standard Goliath figures, and will make them really stand out in the Underhive. So I headed over to their site and ordered those helmets for myself.

While I was poking around Anvil's site, I came across some other accessories that caught my eye. Their riot shields look great, and will look even better on my Necromunda Arbites/Enforcers when I add an imperial aquila to them.

Riot shields and modern weapons.

Anvil also makes a sprue of modern weapons that are great for modern and post-apocalyptic games. The set includes six weapons:

• Tavor
  
• Suppressed Tavor
  
• P90
  
• AK74
  
• G36C
  
• Custom AR15
  
• Kel-Tec KSG
  

Since I've shot several of these weapons in real life, adding them to any zombie-hunting post-apocalypse version of me that I make is a no-brainer (not a zombie pun). My favorites are the P90 (of Stargate SG-1 fame) and the Tavor.

Now that the bits have arrived, I have begun work on building and converting my Goliaths. On Tuesdays, I take my son to a PE class and wait in the car. Rather than read or nap, I've put some tools and models in a bin and work on modeling for an hour.

I'll post again soon showing how the helmets look on my Goliath gang.

'Til next time!
