Anvil Industry Follow Three New Commissars Into Battle
April 19, 2019 by brennon
Anvil Industry has shown off three new Commissar models in different styles for you to include amongst your Imperial armies. Leading the way we have the chunky Armoured Commissar.
This fellow is armed with a big ol' chunky fist which is able to punch its way through pretty much anything. He is also clad in heavier armour making him a proper frontline leader. Still, being a Commissar he still needs to look good so he's still wearing his flash jacket too.
I like this fellow, leading the way into battle in a perfect battle pose. This is what you need for characters!
Commanding Presence
Directing the action from afar we also have this Dress Uniform Female Commissar.
She looks like a Commissar who likes to watch the action from afar, directing the artillery and surveying the battlefield before she commits to action. Whilst I'm not enjoying the pose as much here I like the story being told with the sculpt as she readies her sword and draws a pistol as the enemy approach.
The stern look on her face is also a great touch, glaring at those who would defy her.
Pin-Up!
Turning the tables on many miniatures out there we also have this Jungle Commissar done in a pin-up style.
With his ripped jacket, equally ripped abs and big guns this fellow is one hell of a swoon-worthy fellow. You could see him adorning many an Imperial propaganda poster. I like this fellow as a good alternative to those playing Catachans in Warhammer 40,000.
What do you make of these three new Commissars?

I think the bottom one was Mr June in the last Naughty Commissar Calendar… I do like the other two, though.
That’s what I thought XD
First two are great and will undoubtedly find a home in my IG WIP,the third one….just no.
Those look really nice.
Third one is obviously Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!) on one of the propaganda/recruitment posters.
?
Think all three of these look good, each in their own way. I can easily see these slotting into a variety of Guard forces (DKoK or Armageddon Steel Legion, Valhallan or Vostroyan, and Catachan respectively).
Artel do a Ciaphas Cain, with Jurgen, Kasteen, Brocklaw and Amberly. They are as close to the book descriptions as they can get 😉
Seen them; would snap them up if I had the money to do so (and the money to do the 597th to go with them). What I meant was, the Artel one is the actual Cain while this guy looks like what in-universe they put on the propaganda posters featuring him, or in real life like they put on the book covers, eg:
😉
They are fantastic sculpts. Could find a place for the first two in my life easily! Love the third one too, although can’t immediately think of any project I could use him for.
for the emperor.
