Cipher Bring Out New Releases for Anima Tactics
May 31, 2011 by dracs
Cipher Studios are bringing out two new releases for their Anima Tactics game.
First up there is High Arbiter Aizen.
"There is no power in the Azur Alliance greater than that of High Arbiter Aizen, the Arbiter of Shadows. To most who meet him in battle, he is death incarnate. This ancient creature absorbs the power of all those he has defeated, becoming a vessel full of souls lost in the dark."
Alongside this sinister figure is the Male Wissenschaft Agent.
"Nobody knows how the enigmatic Prince Lucanor selects his agents. The motivations that bring someone like him to choose wholly disparate individuals to join the organization are also a mystery. Regardless they are all bound to Wissenschaft by ties stronger than loyalty. Some owe their lives to the Prince or have found in Wissenschaft the only place they truly feel at home. While they may not all appear to have anything in common, Wissenschaft is the focus of their lives."
So far no images of the miniatures themselves have been put up, but we are assured that they are in the process of being painted. However the artwork alone is impressive, especially for High Arbiter Aizen and I can't wait to see how the miniatures will compare.

Anima is an awsome game/model range, you guys should do one of your great weeks on it?
They have some fantastic concepts. That Arbiter is no exception.
Sometimes I feel the sculpts don’t quite match up, but then imaginative graphics is one thing, moulds for metal minis is another.
I really enjoy the way the game plays.
Thanks for the heads up Andy
I think Sam brought this one
anyway 🙂
Is the game Anima any good?
DOH Very sorry Sam many apologies Thanks for the correction Exile I rate Anima Tactics, It appeals to me as the turn alternates between players on a model by model sequence. There is a certain element of being able to respond to attacks. Characters have a set amount of AP’s which they can use in a turn, but the amount of recovery depends on the characters, So you could use all of your 4 points for example, but then regain 3 next turn, which can limit what you need to do next turn. The rulebook is beautiful especially if you… Read more »
That Arbiter Aizen looks amazing on concept art. Cant wait to see the mini. Not wanting to detract from Anima Tactics but 40K enslaver substitute maybe? Arrgh! Ive done it again. Forget that last comment.
I picked up Cordelia from the Anima range just to paint, but I know next to nothing about the game itself, so any further coverage from you guys would be a great excuse to buy more 😀
This range of minis is amazing, especially if you like the whole Anime style… I’ve used several for tabletop RPGs, they’re finely detailed and never disappoint !
