WARGAME FORGE
Tribe Intro
Welcome to the Tribes Page for "Wargame Forge". Wargame Forge is my project where I design and print tabletop game terrain.
I have been building tabletop terrain for years, since Warhammmer 40K second edition. Since 2019 I have been designing and selling 3D printed terrain. Most of my designs have been made with 6mm to 8mm games such as Battletech, Epic 40K, and Adeptus Titanicus but I also design terrain for 28mm games such as Warhammer 40K, Necromunda, and others.
With this page my goal is to give me some inspiration and motivation to work on new designs for people interested in my designs. The page will allow me to hear from other gamers and hear what they are looking for. And it will help fund my work and help purchase new equipment such as new printers.
As a thank you for your support I will make available one STL file per month to all my supporters. I will have a discount code for MMF purchases. And if you are a print seller I am offering commercial licenses for my designs.
This Tribes Page is starting out small but I do hope to have it grow with what it offers and what you can get for your support. Tribes is new to me so as I get familiar with it and know what it can do for us I will expand on what I am starting here.
Thank you for taking the time to look over my Tribes Page. I hope what I am offering has interested you and I am thankful for any support you can give.
Thanks you once again,
Chris Martens

Delayed, sorry!
Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. Things with the holidays and personal issues have kept me busy. I will be releasing the tribe reward files shortly. I was unable to do any new designs this month so I will release some good ones from my library this evening. I hope you all understand and stick with me. Thank you all for your support!
ExpandUpdate
Hey everyone! I am fine and surgery is complete. Looks to be a success but I am still recovering and starting physical therapy in a couple weeks. I will have files for August, do not worry but may not all be ready on the 1st. I am finishing them up now. I am in a leg brace that keeps my leg straight so I can only sit at my desk for short periods so design work taking longer than normal. But I will get things up and ready soon! Thank you for understanding and for your support!
ExpandI'm Still Here!
Hey Everyone! I am still here and making designs. Sorry I haven't been making posts and videos like I have but life has gotten busy for me behind the scenes. New designs are being released and you can see all new releases here as they get posted. And if they are going to be part of monthly Tribes rewards are in new listing descriptions so make sure you check before buying. And just a heads up, as some of you know 2 years ago I suffered a bad leg injury. Had one surgery to fix it. That surgery did not completely fix everything. I will be going in for a second surgery within the next 2 months. The recovery time for this surgery is 2 to 3 weeks in a rehab facility before I can come home. Then 8 to 10 months of physical therapy. I am hoping to have things designed and ready to go during my time in rehab but things may take longer. I will do my best to make sure all of you are taken care of. I really do appreciate all of your support. If you have any questions please let me know. And I hope you all continue to enjoy my work. Have a good day! Chris

ExpandGot the Legions Imperialis Boxset In Hand!
Got the LI box set yesterday and still gong thru it when I can. I think I had smaller college text books than this rulebook, but looks good! My first observation that I have are the new bases are thin... VERY THIN! I've been asked if I can make LI bases like I did for AT. I'm going to try. But here's my concerns; They are so thin I see warping as an issue. Just geting them off of a build plate could warp them. I may go slightly thicker if it helps, we shall see. Makes me wonder if GW went this thin to make them "problemaic" for 3rd party designers. Time will tell.
Have you gone thru the rulebook yet? What ar some observations you've had when it comes to terrain you feel I should pay extra attention to? Leave your thoughts in the comments below with a page number for reference. I will be away from home for Christmas at my parents and I will have much time to dig thru the book then. Have a great weekend gaming! Chris
ExpandUpdate for the Gothic Tribes Tiers
Hey Everyone! I'm making some changes for the Gothic Tribes Support Tiers.
- I am only offering the Gothic Titan Scale and the Gothic Scale Commercial Licenses from now on.
- The Gothic Hex based and Gothic Total Package tiers are still active but hidden and no more members will be able to sign up for these. If you are a supporter at those levels you can continue to do so and will still receive files if I have any to offer for Hex Map Scale and Hex Tile Base. Why am I doing this? As I am planning on new Gothic Designs for Legions Imperialis, I'm planning on modular sets where you can put them together how you wish. This will not work at Hex Map Scale and would be very difficult to do so with Hex Tiles Bases. So going forward, anything designed with the Gothic series in mind will only have a Hex Map Scale and Hex Baed if it is a stand alone structure and can be donw without issues. I hope this makes sense. I also edited the remaining Gothic Tiers to say: For your monthly support you will be receiving either one of the following:
- Gothic Style building in 3 version; Undamaged, Ruined, & Destroyed in Titan Scale.
- A Single but larger set of terrain in Titan Scale. This usually be a multi part set that is modular and can be set up as you wish. Titan scale meanins the buildings default scale will match the scale of the Titan Models in the AT/LI game by GW. This just coveres the modular terrain sets for LI. Now you may only receive one item for your support but this item is a multipart set that will be valued greater than your monthly cost for the Gothic Titan Scale Support Tier. If you have any questions please ask in the comments below or send me a message. Thank you for your continuing support. Chris
I finally ordered the Legions Imperials Box Set
Happy to say I have ordered the core box set for Legions Imperialis and the CIVITAS IMPERIALIS Ruined Buildings set.
Once in hand and I go over the rules I will start designing for the game with my Gothic line. And with the Ruined Buildings Set I will make sure the files are in perfect scale with the official game terrain so no rescaling of my designs.
This game looks awesome and I cannot wait to open the box and get started!
100 Tribes Members Reached!
We just reached our 100 Tribes member goal! as of now the Tribes discount is 50% off and I released the Tech Cult Ruined Pipeline set to every Tribes Tier at the $5 level and above. Thank you all for your support!!!
Expand100 Tribes Members!

ExpandUpdates, Renamings, & What to Expect in October...
Hey everyone! I feel as if I haven't been to active on any of Wargame Forges social media sites. I've been working hard on designs, hyper-focused if you will. Then I hit critical mass and had to take some time away to regroup so I wouldn't bun out. What I have been working on is getting Ruined and Destroyed versions for all my building designs that need them done. And I have made a lot of progress. Next month, October, I will be releasing all the Modern Ruined and Destroyed buildings that have been missing. Some Modern Ruined Buildings have been renamed to Modern Destroyed because as I looked over them they were pretty much destroyed. Everything has already been renamed for the modern buildings and if you purchased a ruined building that is now a destroyed building you should still have access to the same STL file just with a new name. Now here one quick announcement about Tribes Support Tier Name Changes. Ever since I added the Gothic Tiers I've been trying to come up with a name for the non-Gothic tiers so things would not be confusing. I settled on calling the non-Gothic tiers the “MMS Tiers”. “MMS” meaning Modern, Military, & Sci-Fi. My buildings tend to fall into 4 categories, those three and the Gothic designs. I hope this helps. Now for what the supporters at the MMF Tiers can expect for their Support Thank You for October. I will be giving 4 STL files for those supporters, 2 ruined and 2 destroyed:
- The Modern Ruined Chemical Plant
- The Modern Destroyed Chemical Plant
- The Modern Ruined Luxury Apartment Tower
- The Modern Destroyed Luxury Apartment Tower. All other new Modern and Destroyed designs will be part of the New Releases for October. I hope to be able to do the same in November for the Military buildings followed by the Sci-Fi then Gothic buildings. Sci-Fi and Gothic are huge and may take a couple months each. As for Gothic Tier supporters, yo will be receiving Gothic Ruined Buildings 107 & 108 to start with. 107 is completed and test printed. I have to complete the design for 108 and test print it. After that I will look into the third STL design I will be offering. Thank you all for your support with my work, it's appreciated more then I can express here. If you have any question please let me know and I will do my best to answer them. Have a good night and I hope your games are going in your favor! ~Chris
New Gothic Building Commercial License Tier
First off, this new tier means the other current Commercial License tier does NOT mean you cannot print and sell Gothic Buildings. All commercial license tiers can print and sell all STL files I sell thru My Mini Factory. The purpose of this tier is for the monthly rewards. The current CL tier only supplies my non-Gothic designs; Modern, Sci-Fi, and Military designs. The new Gothic Commercial License Tier holders will get the new Tribes Exclusive Gothic Designs as a thank you each month in all versions; Undamaged, Ruined, Desroyed in Titan Scale, Mech Scale with Hex Base, and Hex Map Scale. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!
ExpandUpdate to the "Pantheon of the Loyal" 6 month loyalty reward
I decided to make the "Patheon of the Loyal" 6 month loyalty reward available for ALL SUPPORT Tiers. the 6 month period started on July 1st, 2023 when I started the Titan support levels. So if you have been supporting since then you only have 4 months left until you get it. And this will include the hex based and hex map scale versions. Thank you all for your support!
ExpandRuined Courthouse Renamed to Destroyed Courthouse
With me adding more "Destroyed" versions of buildings some ruined buildings will be getting renamed to "Destroyed" bcause I couldn't do any more damage to them. The first one to get renamed is the Ruined Courthouse is now the Destroyed Courthouse. The only edit was to the name, the files and design is still the same. A new Ruined Courthouse is in the works.
ExpandThe "Pantheon of the Loyal" 6 Month Gothic Tier Tribes Loyalty Reward
This is the "Patheon of the Loyal" Gothic Building perfect for tabletop wargaming. This building is not for sale, it is a reward for tribes loyalists in the Gothic Tiers for 6 consecutive months of support starting with August 2023. You can sign up today and start supporting my work and in 6 months you will receive the STL files to print this up yourself. This will be available in Mech/Titan scale, Mech/Titan Scale with hex base, and Hex Map Scale. You can watch the reveal video here.

ExpandUpdate to the August Gothic Support Tier Rewards
In August I want to get all the Destroyed gothic building bases that I have done released so I can get closer to having everything up to Gothic Building 131 done and released. Once that is done I can start releasing things as planned; an undamaged version of that months building, a ruined version, and then rotating thru the rooftops, destroyed version, and others. So Gothic Destroyed Building 2 will be released in August with the rest even tho I said it would be an exclusive. What I am replacing as the exclusive will be Gothic Rooftop 7 which is for Gothic Buildings 100-107, the undamaged version of the buildings you will be receiving. But I did say you were getting Gothic Destroyed Building 2 so you will still be getting it as a 4th extra reward, just not an exclusive. Thank you again for your continuig support! ~Chris
ExpandNew Addition For Tribes Supporters
I've recently been doing a 20% off discount code for all new releases for a month for anyone to use. Starting in August, I will be having a 50% off new releases for Tribes Supporters. We've had a huge jump in supporters in July so I wanted to add something as a thank you.

ExpandCity Block Core Set Update
I've updated the files for the City Block Core Set to bevel the underside edge to reduce any complications from the elephant foot effect making the tiles fit too tight.
ExpandCity Block Wide Roads Expansion Set
When I originally created the City Block Tiles my focus was on Battletech. Now that I am more familiar with Adeptus Titanicus and planning for Legion Imperialis I knew I had to offer some wider street tiles. Well, here you go! The City Block Wide Roads Expansion Set for your game table! If you think I am missing an option please let me know. I hope you like!
ExpandThe Gothic Support Tiers are now LIVE!
I have launched 4 Gothic Terrain Support Tiers today:

- Hex Based Mech Scale Gothic Terrain
- Hex Map Scale Gothic Terrain
- The Gothic Building Total Package Each tier has a Welcome Pack with the tier specific variation that includes:
- Gothic Building 1
- Gothic Ruined Building 1
- Destroyed Gothic Building 1 The three "Thank You" reward files for this first month include the following tier specific variations:
- Gothic Ruined Building 100
- Gothic Ruined Building 101
- Destroyed Gothic Building 1 I did say that the rewards would include an undamaged version of a Gothic Building but I have to catch up with the already released Gothic Buildings so to start you will be receiving 2 Ruined Gothic Buildings. I do not want to offer a reward that supporters may have purchased already. All rewards are new designs that have not be made available elsewhere yet. THank you all for your support!!! Chris
Future Gothic Building Release Idea (Looking for input)
I am looking for input on an idea I had today on how to release future Gothic Buildings to all that wants to support the designs. Instead of running more Kickstarters or campaigns on other sites, what if I started a Gothic Support Tier on My Mini Factory with my Tribes Program? Doing it this way a supporter would receive three stl files a month. The three would be of the same building but an undamaged version, a battle damaged "ruined" version, and a new version I am going to introduce, the destroyed version. The destroyed version would be basically an area of ruined terrain in the footprint of the building. Please let me know what you think of this idea in the comments below. Also, I am paying a lot of attention to the news of "Legion Imperialis" and will be working on Gothic terrain more compatible with infantry models and other terrain rules for the game. Just waiting on the official release so I can look over the rules. Thank you all for taking the to share your thoughts on this. Your input and support is greatly appreciated. ~Chris
ExpandLuxury Apartment Tower Update
I added another version of this design where it sits on a single hex tile. It is the same height but I adjusted the width and depth so it only took up a single hex. I think it still looks good on the tabletop. The original 4 hex version is still available if you prefer that one.
ExpandHex Terrain Expansion Campaign
Launching this Monday, July 10th will be my "Hex Terrain Expansion Campaign" perfect for #battletech. This campaign will add a bunch more hex map scale and mech scale terrain tiles as well buildings.

ExpandWhat's your print bed size?
I'm looking for som info from all of you. I want to make my designs work better for everyone. So I'm asking what is he print area of your 3D printer? I am running four Flashforge Adventurer 3s which have a print area of 150mm cubed so I have been designing with that volumn in mind. But I know many of you print with resin and not filament like I do and riint beds can be a little smaller. I'm looking to find out the most common print volumn and I will keep that in mind with future designs. Thank you all for the info and the support! Have a good day!! ~Chris
ExpandThe June 2023 Tribes Exclusives Are...
Greetings Gamers! I just finished uploading the Tribes Supporter Exclusive designs to MMF and they are ready to go on June 1st. They are "Chemical Factory" and "The Fusion Tower". The chemical factory is... well... a chemical factory. But one that exists in a world without OSHA, environmental regulations, or common sense. Vats of bubbling chemicals and piping everywhere. The Fusion Tower is inspired by the Mass Fusion building in Fallout 4, a little. This design comes in 3 parts at the true/mech/titan scale. And these three parts can be stacked on top of each other to make a building as tall as you wish. At Hex Map Scale the Fusion Tower comes in three versions; level 2, 4, and 5. Had to do this because stacking at this scale was a bit of a problem,. I hope you all like these. If you have any issues with them let me know and I will look into it. Thank you all once again for your continuing support! ~Chris

ExpandUpdate to the Basic Terrain Starter Set & the Light and Heavy Woods Cluster Sets
I have added Hex Map Scale versions of the Light and Heavy Wood Hex Terrain Tiles to the Basic Terrain Starter Set. I have done this because recently I have been making hex map scale city boards and when I wanted to make a mixed city/natural board the woods and hills looked way out of scale with the buildings, which they were. The woods and hills/level riser were designed at mech/true and not hex map scale. To fix this I have added hex map scale light and heavy woods. The original light and heavy woods are still included, I'm just adding another option for everyone. For a hex map scale level riser, you can use the Blank Hex Terrain Tile as a Level Riser as at hex map scale a level would be 6mm which is the thickness of the Blank hex Tile. As for the rest of the terrain in the starter set they can be used between True and Hex Map scale without issues. I will be going thru and reviewing the rest of the terrain tiles to see if a hex Map Scale version is needed. If you feel there is one please let me know and I will look into it. I have also added the Hex Map Scale versions to the Light Woods Tile Clusters & the Heavy Woods Tile Clusters.
ExpandLight & Heavy Rock Formation Update
I redesigned the Light & Heavy Rock Formations in the Badlands Terrain Tile Set. This was another early and sloppy design that was taking way to long to print and took up too much memory.
ExpandHex Map Scale Roads Updated
I've updated the Maghex (with magnet mounting holes) for both the city and rural versions of the Hex Map Scale Road Tile Set. These were a very early design of mine and are "sloppy" so I remade them, cleaner and better looking. I removed the old Maghex Versions but the original versions without magnet holes remain.
ExpandMay's Tribes Exclusive Designs
I just completed the first two exclusive design for my MMF Tribes Supporters. The Bank and the Mayor's Office/Clock Tower will be the 2 STL files available for my Tribes supporters only in May. These are also available with a hex base and in Hex Map Scale.
If you are interested in receiving the files to print these yourself become a supporter by clicking the link below. For as little as $5 a month you can get these and a discount code for all your purchases of my other designs.
Thank you!
ExpandCluster Terrain Tile Updates
I've gone and cleaned up the designs for the following Maghex Terrain Tile Clusters:
- Badlands
- Blank Cluster Tiles
- Water D1 Tiles
- Water D2 Tiles
- City Rubble Tiles
- Open Ground Tiles
- Rough Ground Tiles I noticed when slicing/printing there was a thin void and I removed those. I'm looking for any other issues. If you encounter any please let me know. Thank you!
Maghex Road Tile Set Update
I've added a "City" version of the road tiles for the Maghex Versions. The only difference between the city and the original versions, now called Rural, is the city hexes are flat and smooth on the top next to the roads while the rural version is more a natural rough texture.
ExpandDesign Fix Update
Today I discovered an error with the "Hex Map Scale Apartments with Bodegas CFL". The CFL on the backside was reversed and appeared backwards. I apologize for this error. The corrected STL is now available for download.
ExpandPreview of Next Months Tribes Exclusive
Yesterday being Tax Day in the US I came up with this Bank Building as the first Tribes Exclusive. Could be a great objective point, a bank heist/protect the cities funds.
ExpandChanges Coming to Wargame Forge's Tribes
Greetings Gamers! This is an announcement about some changes coming to my Tribes Program. Up until now, the free designs were pulled from my previous work that was available for purchase by anyone. This did have a drawback as someone could have already purchased a design that was offered and that was not good for the supporter. What I have decided to do is to create two completely new designs every month and make those Tribes exclusives meaning they will only be for my supporters and will not be available for sale for a while. How long? I do not know. But it won't be anytime soon. They may appear as add-ons for design campaigns but I haven't settled on how I will handle them in the future. I am working with MMF on how to offer previous months Tribes Exclusives to new Tribes members to purchase so they can still get the exclusives they missed. I have to give this plan a trial run to see if it works. One thing I want to say is because this relies on me designing two designs every month I may not have the files ready on the first of the month but I will have them done that month. And if for whatever reason I am unable too because life happens I will make two existing files available to make up for one exclusive that I have not delivered. Tribes members can let me know what files those should be. I also don't want to force something out just to get something out. I want to be happy with my work so you will be happy with my work. And for Commercial License supporters, I will be making these exclusive designs available to you and they are covered under the CL for you to print and sell the physical prints. All tribes members are free to send me suggestions on what I can design for them and I am always open to hear if there are any issues found and I will do my best to fix them. As always, I am grateful for your support and want to do my best to thank you for that support. And one last thing, the current discount code for purchases is 35% off. When my Tribes program reaches 100 supporters that discount code with be 50% off for as long as we remain at or above 100 supporters. The count will be done on the first of the month when I release the code. So please, share my Tribes program with friends and fellow gamers if you can, thank you. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I will do my best to address them. Thank you for taking the time reading this and I hope you have a great day. ~Chris Forge Master Wargame Forge
ExpandAn Idea for a Change...
Hello all. I've had an idea rolling around in my head late on a way to change what I offer in the Tribes program. A few supporters have had the unfortunate circumstance of receive a free monthly stl that they recently paid for. I do not like that this can happen. I have been talking with the minds behind MMF about letting supporters pick their free monthly STL file but that doesn't sound like it will happen anytime soon. So, in an effort to make the Tribes program more appealing, avoiding making something free that you may have already purchased, and to light another fire under me I've come up with this idea. I will design 2 STL files a month and make those the free files for Tribes supporters. Let me know what you think. I am making this post open to the public so I can get feedback from all; supporters and potential supporters. I would really appreciate the feedback. And I would be open to suggestions from my Tribe on what I can make for all of you. Thank you all for your support! ~Chris

This second file has the back corner damage removed. i did this so you can now print this version without any supports at all. But you can still print the original version if you wish, that version is still included with this listing.

ExpandBasic Terrain Hex Tile Starter Set Issue Fix
It has come to my attention there may be an issue with the Basic Terrain Hex Tile Starter Set. Specifically with the Light and Heavy Wood V2 files. I have fixed and updated the files today. The issue was with the Maghex versions with the magnet mounting holes. The issue has been fixed. Please re download the Maghex zip file that ends in 010823 and the fixed Woods files are V2A. Sorry about any issues this may have caused you.

ExpandAutumn 2022 Design Campaign is now LIVE!
My latest Design Campaign is now LIVE! Some more designs I came up with these past couple months. No real theme, just a bunch of urban and military themed terrain in the 6mm scale (default) perfect for Battletech, Epic 40K, Adeptus Titanicus, and more. I hope you like what I am offering and I thank you for any support you are able to give. Check it out here!
ExpandUpdate to the Light & Heavy Woods Cluster Sets
I just added a V2.5 for the 4 and 7 hex tile clusters for the Light and Heavy Woods set. The previous versions were the single tile arrainged into the clusters. The created an ares within the clusters that you would never really see or be able to paint if you wanted to. Also, it used more filament to print the shell and took more time to print. So I added some filler for this wasted area. This cut down the print time and filament used. If you liked the look of the V2 clusters I left those in the listing too so you can still use that version.
ExpandMore Hex Tile Terrain updates
I just updated the following listing to include the new and redesigned Hex Tile Terrain Clusters:
- Depth 1 Water Cluster Set
- Depth 2 Water Cluster Set
- Light Woods Cluster Set
- Heavy Woods Cluster Set
- City Rubble Cluster Set
- Rough Terrain Cluster Set
The listings still include the original files if you like those better.
ExpandBasic Terrain Hex Tile Starter Set UPDATE!
I just updated the Basic Terrain Hex Tile Starter Set (formerly the Maghex Terrain Set) with updated versions of the existing terrain tiles. I recently built a new board and redeisgned a few tiles for that board and now I am sharing them with you. The file set still contains the original versions if you liked them.
ExpandBattle Damaged/Ruined Military Buildings and Terrain
My latest design campaign is now live! Check it out here.
ExpandUpdate to the Hex Tile Frame
This is an update for the files for the "Hex Tile Frame". I have added additional files giving you various lengths of the frame side pieces to better fit your game space or magnetic white board. I have also included on most of the frame pieces (the ones large enough) a recessed hole on the bottom side so you can insert an 8mm by 3mm disc magnet to secure the frame to your magnetic white board. The original files are still included here if you prefer those.
ExpandNEW RELEASES!
I just uploaded all the files from my most recent design campaign, "Starship Graveyard". You can find all the files in my "New Release" collection. If you were a supporter of the campaign the files should be released to you this coming weekend when KS confirms collections from all the supporters.
ExpandSFRHB005 Sci-Fi Ruined Building Update
I added 2 additional STL files with the hex base flipped, 3 in the fron and 2 in the back. Did this to help with setting up a hex battle board and give you some flexibility. This variation is also available with the Maghex Version. Currently SFR005 is the first update like this and I plan on slowly rolling out this update to my Hex Based buildings.
ExpandUpdate to the Mil002 and Mil011 Landing Platforms STL Files
I have just updated the STL files for the Mil002 Large Landing Platform and the Mil011 Landing Platform files. A new STL file has been added for an altrernate base with all the legs printed on a single base. This way the legs and base are printed as a single piece and no gluing is required since the legs and landing pad will sit on top of each other. The original version with the legs printed as single pieces is still an option. See pics below.
ExpandJuly New Releases Have Been Posted!

ExpandListing Update Project is now COMPLETE!
I have spent the last few months updating my designs and listings to make sure I have all the current designs with all the variations; normal 6mm, 6mm with hex base, 6mm with magnetic hex base, and map hex scale. Everything should now be done. If anyone finds any errors please let me know so I can fix them.
i will be working on "Ruined" versions of designs that currently do not have them as well as working on brand new designs.
Thank you everyone for your support!

Expand28mm Terrain Listed
My most recent Kickstarter recently ended, the 29mm Scatter Terrain Design Challenge. It was successful and the unlocked files were released this weekend. I just finished posting all the files on here for everyone to purchase.
You can find all my 28mm scale terrain in this collection:
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/WargameForge/collection/28mm-terrain
ExpandFile and Listing Update
I have just completed updating my non-ruined STL designs and listings. Now all the 6mm hex based terrain and the hex map scale terrain to include a second free STL file that is the Magnetic Hex Tile versions that allow you to insert the 3mm ball magnets into them.
All the hex map scale items are scaled down versions of the 6mm scale versions so you will not lose any detail going with a smaller scale. But I suggest using a resin printer for this scale to get the most from your prints.
I will be working on updating and adding the Magnetic Hex Tiles to the ruined versions of my designs but this will take some time so please be patient. If you have purchased a design from me thru My Mini Factory in the past you should be able to re download the files again to get the updated files.
If you have any questions please ask!

ExpandStretch Goals Added
I've added 2 stretch goals to my Tribes Program. At the 25 member level and the 50 member level I will be releasing two designs for free to everyone who has joined and will join once the goals have been reached. Think of the stretch goals as add ons to the welcome packs.
Check out the info on my Tribes Home Page for details.
Thank you everyone for your support and any help you can give getting the word out about my Tribes program.

ExpandUpdating Listings and STL Files
I am currently updating my files and listings. My listings for the 6mm terrain without hex bases will mostly be remaining the same. There might be slight changes here and there to fix some printing issues or things that I felt needed some tweaking but those are few and far between. The big changes are going to be in the 6mm hex Based Terrain and the Hex Map Scale Terrain listings.
For the 6mm hex based terrain and the hex map scale terrain I started printing them on a resin printer and have found some issues with slight warping of the hex tiles. I thickened up the hex tile bases from 3mm to 5mm and this seems to have resolved the issues. I also cleaned up the hex bases to do away with some issues that I noticed from cutting corners and taking some easy choice when designing. I went back and did things right and I feel the STL files print and look better. I hope you agree.
Another change to the 6mm hex based terrain listings is I added in a second file of the design using the Magnetic Hex Map Tiles I created for a Kickstarter I ran in 2021. These tiles allow you to insert 3mm ball magnets into the corners of the tiles so they can be magnitized and stay next to the neghboring tiles better. You can see more about these in my now closed Kickstarter here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargameforge/stl-files-for-magnetized-terrain-hex-tiles
And with the Hex Map Scale terrain tiles I am now including STL file versions without the Construction Factor and Level printed on the bases. This has been a request from a few people and I have started including them in the listings. This means with the Hex Map Scale listings there are now 4 versions of the STL file; the normal hex tile with the CF & L, the magnetic hex tiles from my above Kickstarter with CF & L, the normal without the CF & L, and the Magnetic Hex Tiles without the CF & L.
I am doing all of this to give everyone a choice in the style they wish to use without having to buy multiple versions. And I am doing this at no increase in cost except for one single penny. The one cent increase is more to help me keep track of what I have edited and what has been edited. If you see a listing ending in .00 it has been updated. Any listing ending in .99 still requires editing or I just missed it. I am adding an update log to listings to let you know what may have changed. And if you already purchased the items you should be able to go back and re download the STL files for the updates.
As of the writing of this story (1/2/22) I have completed the Modern Buildings (not the ruined yet) for the 6mm, 6mm hex based, and the hex map scale listings. I will be updating more in the coming days and will update all of you when each collection has been updated. If anyoone find any issues with any of the updated STL files please let me know right away and I will get that fixed right away. With over 600 STL files I am sure I may mess up a couple of times.
In closing, I hope everyone likes the changes and I thank all of you for your support.
~Chris
ExpandModern Hex Map Scale Buildings are listed
I just listed all the Hex Map Scale Modern Buildings (not the ruined or destroyedyet). All of these contain the normal hex and the magnetic hex tile versions and are the scaled down versions of my 6mm scale versions so fine details with these. Best if resin printed.
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/WargameForge/collection/hex-map-scale-modern-buildings
Expand2 New Support Tiers Now Available
I just launched the Hex Map Scale Tribes Support Tier and the Total Package Support Tier!
The Hex Map Scale Tier is just like the 6mm and the 6mmex Based tiers but with this one you get the free STL files scaled down for hex map play for Battletech. And you get 2 versions of the STL files; the normal hex type and the Magnetic Hex Map Tile I designed to work with 6mm ball magnets.
The Total Package Tier is for those of you that want EVERYTHING and combines the 6mm, 6mm hex based, and the new Hex Map Scale tiers into a single tier for a lower cost than all three tiers separately. You get two free designs a month with all 4 different versions; 6mm, 6mm hex based, hex map scale, and magnetic hex tile hex map scale. Thats a total of 8 STL files a month free. And I will throw in a random 28mm scale stl file every so often.
Hope everyone likes and if you have any questions please ask in the comments below. And thank you for your support!

ExpandHex Map Scale Tiles Update
I currently hid most of the Magnetic Hex Tile listings because I am going thru them and revamping the set. Tweaks, fixes, and reorganizations. I've also started working with a resin printed so now I know how detailed I can go at this scale so expect HMS items with greater detail.
The BIGGEST change to the listings is I am combining the Hex Map Scale and the Magnetic Hex Map Scale Tiles into a single purchase for the price I used to have just one version. So you get two for the price of one!
I am also combining some sets, like the walls and walls with towers, together and adding a new piece for a lower price than if you bought them all separatelybefore.
I currently have the following sets relisted and ready to go:
- Basic Terrain Set
- Roads
- Level 1 Walls
- Fortification Set
- Level 2 Walls
You can find the collection here:
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/WargameForge/collection/hex-map-scale-terrain-tiles
I will also have a Hex Map Scale Tribes Support Tier in the next few days along with another combo support tier for the 6mm, 6mm hex based, and the hex map scale files for a lower price.
If you have any questions please ask them in the comments below.
Thank you for your support everyone!
~Chris
ExpandNew 6mm Scale Combo Tier Now Available!
As requested recently, I have added a combo tier for those of you that wish to get both the hex based 6mm scale buildings and the baseless buildings. For $8US you get the 35% off discount code, a welcome pack with 6 STL files, and 4 STL files a month. You will get both the hex based and the non hex based versions at this tier.
Expand$5 Support Tier Update
Now that I am home from the holiday vacation I have been going over my $5 tiers getting them prepared for the next year. While setting the free STL file for each month I decided to up it to TWO FREE STL FILES per month!
This way you get much more value for your support. If you already downloaded the free STL file for December check again, there may be a 2nd file waiting for you now.
Thank you everyone for your support!
Expand6mm Hex Based Support Tier Added
I added a 6mm Hex Based Support Tier to help make sure the free STL files you receive will be exactly the versions you want for your battlefield. Thinking of you Battletech Players! If you prefer your STL files without hex bases go with the other 6mm support tier. But if you wanted your buildings and terrain with a hex tile base this is perfect for you!
ExpandThe Inner Circle
On December 1st, 2021 I will be launching a new tribes support tier, "The Inner Circle". With this tier you will get the Welcome Packs from each support tier (2 coming soon), the discount code, a link to my Discord Server, and you will receive for free the STL files for any new MMF store listing released in the previous month. For December's launch this includes STL files from 20 new listings in November.
But act quickly, I am limiting this tier to only 12 supporters. Keep your eyes open!
ExpandTribes Tiers Changes in the Works
First things first, ythank you to all of you early supporters. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Changes Made:
- I combined all those confusing Commercial License tiers into a single unlimited and unrestricted Commercial License Tier. Sell as many different Wargame Forge designs as you wish!
- The COmmercial License is designed as an Add On to the support tier you select. There is no welcome pack or free monthly STL file with the Commercial License now so you can also select the scaled tier you want or select multiple support tiers. I did reduce the price of the Commercial License Tier by $5 so in the end it won't cost you more if you want only to do a single scale.
- The Discount Only and Commercial License TIers are having an Early Bird Special until the 1st of 2022. Lock in the early lower prices now!
- The current $5 tier is now for just 6mm scale STL files. I will be adding a "Hex Map Scale" tier very soon as well as a "28mm Scale TIer" as soon as my current Kickstarter is over in January. The discount code you get will work for all items in my store no matter which tier you choose but the free monthly STL will be specific for each tier so you will always get right scaled STL file you signed up for. And the Welcome Pack will be different for each scale tier.
- There will also be an "All Scale" support tier once all three are up that will get you all three welcome packs and 3 free monthly STL files at a reduced cost to save you money if you want to get everything each month.
If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know. And I thank you for your patience as I fine tune things here. Have a great day and game on!
