Anvil Industry: Republic Grenadiers, Afterlife Kickstarter Update


Anvil Industry: It took a while longer than I hoped but finally complete, the Republic Grenadiers! A 6 Man unit of these guys is included in every Assault Team Pledge. In a few days time I will preview the Heavy weapons tractor and confirm an add-on price to upgrade the 6 man unit to a 10 man unit with sergeant and heavy weapons team. The CAD is not 100% finalised yet so if you have any feedback about the design do please leave a comment!


Republic Grenadiers are covered in flexible "Liquid Armour" which solidified instantly when hit, plus a few toughened ceramic plates in critical locations - particularly protecting the head and neck from the most likely angles in incoming fire. The Mask is designed to withstand point blank range ballistic impacts. The weapon is a Smart Grenade Launcher. The Grenadier can select a target with an optical feed giving him a "Weapons Eye View", the weapon then calculates range and optimal trajectory in milliseconds and fires automatically at the optimum moment. Under the Grenade Launcher is a standard compact assault carbine for shorter range fire fights or where a grenade would be over kill.
