Improved Supports/DT2 Update and POLL RESULTS! (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

As we mentioned in our last update, Drop Troops  2 is slightly delayed, and we currently hope to have the download available sometime next week. All the sculpting is done but we still need to complete some test prints to ensure top quality and easy to print parts.

Test prints are particularly important this month because we are making some improvements to the way we do our supports.

The new supports will take up less drive space, be less likely to produce slicer errors and be easier to remove without any marks left on outer/top surfaces (see example above). More importantly, it will be easier to import the components into Blender or similar to do full digital miniature builds, if that is your preference!

Look out for the Drop Troops "Everything you get" post in the next couple of days.

POLL RESULTS!

Thanks very much if you completed the recent poll. We had over 500 responses which is fantastic and gives us a really good idea of where to go next.

The winner, with a huge 79.5% in favour.

Facility Containment Hazard Response Team 

So we are slotting that straight into the schedule. 

Whatever you accidentally left in your zombie infested/irradiated underground lab, you can leave recovering it to the professionals, ready to deploy JULY 2021.

We will be aiming for a near future sci-fi vibe, so the team can be used in any setting from present day evil corporation through to 2100 space exploration..

Second place on 75%, closely followed on 74.6% were our Afterlife sets, Republic Grenadiers and Unity Council.

I (Joel, Creative director and designer of the original kits) am personally very pleased to see strong interest in an update of the designs! 

We will begin work on the revamp when we get a chance and you can expect to see one or both on Patron toward the end of the year.

----

Cyberpunk  2:  At 70.7% it's over the line for consideration at some point.

----

October Vampire Hunters: 69.1% is a solid result, so we will likely still run with this theme if we can come up with some strong design concepts which are likely to be useful in a wide enough range of game settings.

----

Light Mech 2:  With 64.7%, given the work required this is on the backburner for now. One option is an upgrade set for the Light Mech made available through our website directly.

----

Fans of Tactical Wizards, you can celebrate a frankly very respectable 62.4% in favour, and NOT BEING LAST.

Not enough to get a whole month, but impressive enough that we will find a way to sneak in a few characters or alternative weapon sets somewhere. 

----

Flying in low with an engine on fire and half the armour plates missing is our valiant Drop Ship on 62.1%.  This result isn't totally unexpected. It won't be any time soon but we can look at alternative ways to make a Drop Ship happen next year.

Thanks again everyone!

Team Anvil
