Title: Afterlife resin minis from Anvil Industries
Post by: Momotaro on November 18, 2014, 02:38:25 PM: Picked up a couple of packs of the Afterlife resin figures from Anvil Industries a couple of weeks ago, more on a whim than anything else. One pack of three Ajax exo-suits, one pack of five Taurus gun tractors/battlefield robots.

Beautiful, beautiful sculpts - lovely detail, almost no mouldlines or flash. Both packs come with several weapons potions- 2 each of chaingun, cannon and EMP weapons for the suits, and 2 each of chaingun. cannon and missile launcher for the tractors. The exo suits also come with some base rubble pieces.

Honestly - minis that paint themselves. Went for muted green and grey with some tan/beige details on the exo-suits to bring them out a bit, and some bright colours (not lens effects) for shiny bits. Dwartist I ain't, but they came out OK. Again, apologies for cameraphone pictures.

The gun tractors especially look like very cool and versatile minis. Thanks for sharing.

GW Death World Forest base coat over white primer, washed with GW Athonian Camoshade, then pick out the base colour again.

The gun platforms are a great idea, aren't they? So many uses!

Thanks for the comments folks - it's a simple paintjob but these really are impressive models.
