Anvil Show Off Resin Prototypes For Afterlife Kickstarter
October 17, 2014 by brennon
With less than ten days to go Anvil Industry have shown off some of the resin prototypes to go along with their Afterlife: The Shards of Liberty Kickstarter. See what you think...
We'll start off with some of the coolest looking pieces of tech that are the War Drones you can see here flanking Ellenor Renard, one of the character models from the range. Actually seeing the miniatures in the 'flesh' should hopefully dismiss some of the misgivings as to the squat nature of some of the renders. They all look nicely proportioned to me!
Next up we have both Natalya Federici and Lucretia Chang above followed by Lena Petrova below. The first two will be part of the cool Assassination Pack add-on for the game while Lena is an Electronics Specialist (as you might have guessed from her augmentations) and there's no system she can't hack.
Last but not least we have another of the War Drones but this time it's alongside the Ajax Exo Mech that is just amazing looking. If you wanted the Spartan-come-Halo feel then there it is embodied in one sculpt.
Some great looking miniatures!

You become a projectile sponge for everything within several kilometers. Man-sized contraptions, on the other hand, are great, as they can provide fire support from any position a soldier can get into i.e. trench, built up areas, etc. and can accompany the soldiers wherever they go.

These all look really great. Will have to check out the kickstarter. I’ve seen little hints of Afterlife here and there for a while and it’s looked very interesting.
I especially like the idea of the narrative and character driven story line. Or at least, that’s what it looks like thye’re doing.
