Miniature Monday 4/4 for Jan! Risor Expansion, Coin Lord & Delahaye Twins!

Hi everyone, I'm excited to share this month's final slate of releases with you - let's take a look: 1. Tech Pack - Risor District Andy has been working hard all month on a beautifully detailed Tech Pack expansion for the Risor District :) It features a new Wall design which is hollow so your players can stand inside! There is a large selection of 13 new accessories to add into and onto the side of the wall, including a sign, internal booth, new roof option, and a slew of cool tech screens and computers for the outside! Who knows what the Tech Station does? Maybe it's a spy HQ for the Silent Spectres, or a Bounty Hunter job site, or the Nightshades use it to keep track of their chem experiments. 2. Coin Lord The Coin Lord is the beginning of a new guild, the Wealth Guild! He is the opulent and pompous leader of this group, who collect coins across Stack City. With his exceptionally fancy clothes, he's going to be amazing to paint :D We will continue releasing for the Wealth Guild over the new few months. 3. Delahaye Twins - Gabriel and Jacquette These are a character redesign of an early set of Bounty Hunters we created for Print Minis. You can see the originals on the store, and add these new versions to your tabletop - maybe as doppelgangers! They more accurately match the character's we had in mind for inspiration. We hope you like the final releases for Jan :) On Thursday, I will provide updates on the Fleshforged scale and some previews for next month. I've pulled the normal FYI Friday post forwards so there is more before the end of the month to see the plan for Feb. Thank you! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! What do you think of the Fleshforged scale? Pole.

Hi everyone, I hope you've had an amazing week :) Today I'd like to take the opportunity to get your feedback on our new Fleshforged gang. We had a question on our Monday release post asking for a scale comparison between our Fleshforged and Nightshades. So, I figured before we get further into the gang creation process, I should make sure you're happy with the scale, because now is the only opportunity to change it. Below are two photographs showing a Fleshforged model next to a Nightshade model, as well as the Goliath and Escher models from Necromunda for real world scale context. Please vote in the survey if you would like us to increase the scale of the Fleshforged gang by 3%, or keep them as they are! PS - we cannot change the Nightshade's scale as they are a long established gang at this point.

Miniature Monday; 3/4 for January. They're finally here! The Fleshforged Gang :D

Hi everyone, Today is a long awaited moment for many of you - it's time to welcome a new gang to the world of Mortuus Secunda! 1. The Fleshforged Gang We finally have our team of muscular boys to face off against The Nightshade gals :) Let's learn a bit more about them: "The Fleshforged were not born, they were grown. Their sinews then hardened by industrial labour and muscles pushed beyond their limit. In the shadowy depths of the dank undercity, they were designed for one purpose: to serve as living tools of strength until exhaustion. But even in their limited intelligence, a spark of rebellion ignited—an instinctual drive to live not as slaves, but as lords of their own destiny! United by this primal purpose, they forged a gang in the fires of searing resentment and escaped the toxic mines. With their vat-enhanced bodies, they now wield weapons as extensions of their brute will, carving out dominance among the other undercity gangs. Free at last to use their muscular might for their own gain!" There are 8 poses, and 6 heads, optional shoulder pads, and a wide selection of arm options for each pose. We have cut the modular arms around their muscles to preserve aesthetics, so only the provided arms fit with each body pose. We will expand on the boys over time :) 2. Mutated Prime One of the final entries in our Hellspire series for our Mutated Splicer gangs - the Mutated Prime is a towering figure! He is covered in mutations, growths and boils - festering with the weird toxin that thrives in the Hellspire. A formidable foe for the Hellspire Hunters to face. I hope you like this week's releases :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Future miniature previews :)

Hi everyone, 2025 is going to be an epic year for Print Minis - there are so many cool miniatures I want us to create for the community, and I can't wait to keep expanding this world with you each week :D Today I want to share a whole selection of models coming out in the next few weeks/months: At the beginning of Jan, I shared with you the sketches for Lady Hestia and our two Coin Collectors. Those models are now finished! See the images attached above. I love the design of the Coin Collectors so much - should we make a gang out of them? I also shared the character sketches for our Brinklands Beastmaster, and his millipede-like Rocksaws! These models are also finished and looking epic - I think the texture on the rocksaws will be especially satisfying to paint :D Another finished model can be seen next - Grellen Biggs! He loves to cook with alien plants, and his soups are sought after by undercity and nobleman alike. He comes accompanied by his trusty cooking pot! Finally, a repose of two past characters, the Delahaye Twins - Jacquette and Gabriel. They were originally designed as loose proxies for the Gorvos twins from 'Munda, but I don't think we got them quite right. We went too far in our own direction, which isn't always good when they're meant to be a stand-in for a specific character. So it was redesign/repose time! Let me know what you think of their new models in the comments. That's it for today's teases :) Have a wonderful weekend! Kind regards Gem

Kaliz Sector Update: some Risor District Compatibility :) Plus Build Guide & Lore!

Hi everyone, After release of the Kaliz Sector on Monday, we got quite a few requests to make this zone compatible with the Risor District :) We didn't initially do this because it's very restrictive to match all the RD dimensions - wall length, platform structure, board layout etc. It makes it harder to be creative and it also takes twice as long to sculpt a kit with such a deep level of cross compatibility. It's just not feasible with every terrain kit, given the volume of models we produce each month. However, a subscriber in Discord asked for a bridge to connect the two locations. This is a great idea! Then we don't have the restriction of matching the terrain system itself, but can simply join the two zones on the tabletop. There wasn't really any need to make a unique bridge as the bridge in the Kaliz kit is already simple and effective. The big change we needed to make was adjusting the height. The height of Kaliz was about 10mm lower than Risor, because we matched the height of the platform to the height of the building, so it would be aesthetic. Therefore, we have changed the height of the Columns, Stairs and Ladder to enable Kaliz to match Risor, meaning you can use the Bridge already in the kit to join the two :) Build Guide As well as making this change, I have completed the Build Guide. This shows you exactly how to build the kit and everything the terrain is capable of! I have added the Build Guide to the Kaliz Sector folder, now re-uploaded to MyMiniFactory. Please download the folder again and use the new files, which will include instructions so you can better plan what to print. ++Kaliz Sector Lore++ Finally, we wanted to include some lore about this location, as we were inspired by traditional stilt houses, which are built to be safe from water. Since we've made docks and boats for the Sump Sea, we felt it would be cool to have a housing complex that could sit on the toxic waters! Let's learn a bit more about the history of Kaliz, created by a writer we're now working with: "The Stilt Sprawl of Mortuus Secunda" Long ago, the Kaliz Sector was nothing more than a series of basic settlements teetering on the edge of the Sump Sea, built by desperate citizens seeking refuge from the rising toxic water. The sump’s relentless flooding and corrosive mists forced the inhabitants to construct their homes on precarious stilts, scavenged from rusted steel beams and discarded machinery. Over generations, the settlement grew into a sophisticated network of elevated platforms, bridges, and buildings, earning its nickname: the Stilt Sprawl. A History of Resilience The Kaliz Sector was originally a haven for those fleeing from gang wars. Its isolation and dangerous proximity to the sump made it undesirable to all but the most desperate. Early settlers found a tenuous way of life, harvesting sump shrimp and salvaging wreckage from the toxic tides. Over time, trade with other parts of the undercity brought a degree of stability, and more people were attracted to the location, able to use it as a base to hunt monsters in the Sumps. Kaliz is especially attractive to pirate gangs! Life in the Stilt Sprawl Despite the prosperity, life is harsh in Kaliz. The air is thick with noxious fumes that corrode both metal and flesh. Residents wear patchwork respirators and goggles, trading for filters and parts to keep the poison at bay. Periodic floods sweep through the Sector, dissolving weaker structures and carrying off anything not bolted down. Entire families have vanished overnight, their homes claimed by the ever-encroaching waters. Crime also thrives in the Stilts, its labyrinthine layout perfect for smuggling and illicit deals. The bridges and platforms serve as neutral grounds for gang negotiations, where disputes are often settled with blood. Those who live here learn quickly to step lightly; the wrong move can mean plummeting into the sump and certain death! An Economy Built on Scavenging and Trade The waters beneath Kaliz teem with mutated sump shrimp and other grotesque creatures, prized by the richer citizens of the undercity for their rarity and supposed medicinal properties. Pirates brave the toxic tides in mighty rafts like the Scumrider to haul in these hazardous delicacies. Scrap divers also play a crucial role. They risk their lives to dredge up relics from the sump, ranging from valuable machinery to ancient tech, all of which fetch high prices in the upper hives. Workshops dot the sprawl, where skilled tinkerers repurpose salvaged parts into weapons, tools, or filtration systems. The Spirit of the Stilt Sprawl Despite its dangers, the Kaliz Sector has a spirit of defiance. Its residents, hardened by years of survival, cling to life with a stubborn resilience. The Stilts remain a place of opportunity and peril, where fortunes can be made or lost in an instant. For those who call it home, the Kaliz Sector is more than just a place to live—it’s proof that life can cling to the most precarious of perches.

Miniature Monday: 2/4 for January :) Beast handler, Codemorph and the Kaliz Sector!

Hi everyone, Firstly, I'm so sorry for missing the FYI Friday post - we'll be back to normal with those this week :O Now let's take a look at the second set of files for 2025, starting with our big terrain kit! 1. Kaliz Sector This is a building kit which creates highly flexible buildings raised on stilts. They are surrounded by platforms, which can interconnect, and you can furnish the buildings as offices, homes, shops etc. The buildings are expandable too. Why not add the canteen scatter for last week to one? ;) Currently, I've test printed all the individual STLs so I know they work, but I'm still running off build plates so I can complete a full 'stilt house'. If I come across any issues while building, I'll let you know. I'm also working on a build guide, which will be out soon. I'm really excited about the potential for this kit! Note: it's not compatible with the Risor District - that now has it's own monthly series, with another expansion coming next week :) 2. Codemorph Speaking of expansions, we have a new character for the Code Splicer Cult! He's not modular as that caused some issues with character design and posing, so you can just print and play with this one :) 3. Beast Handler We have a lot of creatures in the world of Mortuus Secunda, and so a Beast Handler is often needed to tame them! This character pairs nicely with our Chem Dealer, and both can be hired as hanger-ons for your gang. We hope you like the new releases this week. I'll let you know when the build guide is launched for the Kaliz Sector. Also, follow us on Instagram for printed pictures etc - it's my 2025 resolution to post more often so I'd love more of you to follow along with that goal :D Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/printminis/ Thank you! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for January :) More data ladies, scatter galore, and man's best friend!

Hi everyone, The first files of 2025 have been released! :D 1. Data Hunters 2, Vaross Syn Gang The first set of models is Part 2 of the Data Hunter ladies, all cross compatible with last month's release :) 2. Office Scatter I wanted to create some scatter to occupy our various buildings, specifically with things like the Bismuth Vaults in mind. I loved the idea of an office building where ordinary people can go to work, and so we have a variety of office-related scatter from noticeboards to desks. I think you can use the individual parts of this kit across your tabletop - like the notice board as a bounty board - or you can keep it altogether as an office building. 3. Canteen Scatter The same can be said for this kit too - different parts like the Jukebox could be used alone, or with our other kits like the Rot Water Bar. You can also roll past collections of scatter into this scenery set, such as the Outdoor Kitchen set to make an even larger canteen! Two of the vending machines are from our Fuel Station kit, repurposing them within this themed collection since they were somewhat lost within that larger terrain kit :) 4. Cyberdogs These belong to the Iron Brawlers gang released last month, so you can continue to add to that line if you are going to play them. If not, you have two loyal buddies for your tabletop :) We've actually made three different robot dogs now - fully robotic ones, cyberhounds, and a cyberweiler, which was an old junker dog, and now part dog/part robot with the latest pair! We hope you like this weeks STLs! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - just a few updates :)

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! I just wanted to take this Friday to update you on a few things. Firstly, if you receive a message from MMF saying files are released, that's because I'm going to add the Welcome Pack for new subscribers and it notifies people automatically when STLs are added to a month. Just ignore that - the first files for this month will be out on Monday 6th January :) The renders for those files are attached to this post - we have two fantastic scatter terrain sets - an office and a canteen - Part 2 of our Data Hunter girls, and two Cyberdogs for our Iron Masters (released last month). Other updates: I'll do the loyalty rewards over the weekend, so if you're due one this month, keep an eye out for that notification email. Over the weekend, I'll also be sorting out the brief for our next vehicle. What do you want to see? I was thinking of something inspired by a tractor, as the Harvester vehicle was popular last year and a grimdark tractor sounds fun :) I'm not set on the idea though, so let me know what you think! We recently added an updated version of the Risor District flooring, supported for resin printing, which has be thinned to use less resin and reduce warping. If you have the original files, just redownload the floor STLs for the most updated version. I've also included some fun sketches for future models coming out this year! Thoughts: I've been thinking a lot about the future of Print Minis. We're going to keep doing our monthly Necromunda collections for as long as people want them - it's our biggest passion :D But I'm interested in turning some of our terrain into plastic sets. Nothing too close to a proxy, just more of our unique ideas like the Ironworks etc. It would be incredible to have our designs in official packaging in a game store, available to more people! I have no idea how to do something like that though. I suppose I'll be researching it in 2025 to see what's possible, and I just wanted to float the idea in case anyone has any advice :) That's it for today's update! Have a good weekend! Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday: 4/4 for December, and Happy New Year! :D

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas break so far, and are excited to celebrate the New Year in whatever way you're able to :) Andy and I have been really busy seeing family and friends. As as small studio, we probably spend far too long working and so this holiday season, we've taken more time off than usual. Thank you so much for your patience while we prepared this final release for December! It's a big terrain kit, and I wanted to print it all and build a diorama before release to ensure everything works as expected. You can see those pictures at the end of the gallery. 1. Rustspire Foundry Continuing with our industrial terrain theme, we have added a standalone Foundry. It can work with the Ironworks Factorium set because the Ranvik Pipes system can connect some of the machines that have ports. Or, it can be used as a unique terrain piece on your board. It should sit at the same height as two stacked Risor Columns (with a platform), so characters can hop from one platform system to the other. The kit has flexibility in how you build it, as the platform can be any size, and you can print the number of support columns you would like. You can add multiple mechanical arms, and various railings. The Foundry drum itself can also work on it's own, without the Chimney so your grimdark city can have a roaring fire. 2. Silent Spectre Rogue Doctor To go with the Gang Lookout, we now have a Rogue Doctor for the Spectres! He has some gnarly looking medical equipment and an unsavoury gleam in his eye, but he should get the job done if your gang needs help ;) The head is modular, so you can use others from our main gang, and we have both a posed version, and a version with the arms separate to mix and match with other Spectres. I hope you like the final miniatures in December's collection :) Have an incredible New Year, and see you in 2025! Much love, Gem & Andy & the PM team x

Merry Christmas! :)

Hi everyone, Just a quick message to wish you all a very happy Christmas for tomorrow! I hope you're able to enjoy the day, and celebrate with friends or family if you're able to :) Andy and I are so unbelievably grateful to the Print Minis community, who continue to fill our life with purpose and joy, sharing in the hobby we love and the art we love to create each month :D We also wouldn't be here without a team of incredible artists who bring such life and vision to the PM digital universe! On that note, we will be releasing the final files of December at some point between Boxing Day and New Year's Eve, when they're ready. There were some tweaks we wanted to make to the terrain, and I needed more time to reprint the files to make sure they're right. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays! Much love, Gem & Andy x

FYI Friday! Two new Build Guides :)

Hi everyone, There's not much to report today, except that I have created two new Build Guides, which were requested by subscribers, for:

  • Scrumrider, Sump Raft
  • Kraka Market (from last month) I have added these guides to this Patreon post for easy downloading, and also to the objects on MMF. I hope they're helpful! If you want me to create any other guides for past minis, let me know. I only create one if I think the model is complex, but that's just my opinion, and I'm more than happy to make extras when asked :) Hopefully we'll see you on Monday, but Christmas is a busy time, so if I don't get the final terrain release tested by the end of this weekend, I'll move the STL drop to Friday 27th Dec. Merry Christmas! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for December :) Iron brawler expansion & damaged walls!

Hi everyone, Today we have three new releases for you - let's take a look! Two of the releases are for our Iron Brawlers gang, which many of you have been asking about an expansion for. Here it is! :D 1. Iron Gliders This gang expansion wears jet packs, but we have a mix of poses where some of the gang are actively flying and others are on the ground, giving a nice variation of heights and poses. There are 18 new arm options and 4 new head options, all of which are cross compatible with the previous Iron Brawlers release, so you now have even more modular options for the Iron gang! 2. Iron Masters This is a smaller set of new characters, but they're bulkier and showing off their abs, bringing more muscle to the group. Even though you'll find these two gangs separate in your MMF Library, the heads and arms are still cross compatible with each other. With these guys, we added a couple of unique head options (an iron mask and a balaclava) for even more gang variety! 3. Damaged Risor District Walls x3 As I mentioned in a previous update post, Andy learned a new sculpting skill in November - realistic damage. He also built a Risor Wall as if it could exist with a mix of concrete, rebar, metal framing and pipes which we can see now the walls are blasted apart. The walls are compatible with Risor District 2.0. These are highly detailed models, so they will be both a pain and a joy to paint :P There are modular inserts for the centre of the walls coming this month too, which will showcase different wall contents and be mix & match. Due to how long it takes to make damaged pieces, we will be slowly adding to the the Damaged Risor series over 2025. That's it for today's STLs - we hope you like them :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A look at future miniatures and concepts :)

Hi everyone, Let's gaze into the future today at models planned for 2025! We're working on quite a few different things at the moment - creating a character set for each Guild, building out the roster of hanger-ons and creatures, and continuing to develop our core gangs. All these models are coming our across the first 4 months of 2025, so you'll have to stay tuned to see when they appear! Shackleman This character is for our slave guild - we had the first character in this guild appear last month, the Master of Chains. His second in command has just been completed, ready for test printing. I love the way his creepy cult icon turned out!! Skinflint I shared the Master of Coins quite a while ago actually - he's on the character roster for January! This is his second in command, carrying another epic cult icon, in my opinion :D Cyberhounds Now that we've started to develop our Iron Brawlers gang (Orlock-inspired), with a new expansion for them coming out on Monday, we of course need to create their beloved best friends! Here you can see the latest addition to our growing range of cyberdogs. Three-headed Croc We've made cat and dog inspired pets for our gangs, so why not a crocodile :D The beefy boys (name TBC) need an equally imposing animal companion, and so we took inspiration from the Sumpkroc to make a 3-headed version! What do you think? Relic Seller In the past, we've done shop keepers for a Weaponsmith and a Beast Merchant, so to add to that crew, we now have a Relic Seller. In a world as harsh as Mortuus Secunda, sometimes you just need something to believe in, and that's where our Relic Seller comes to your rescue... or curse ;) Enforcers V2 We already have a gang of Enforcers - the City Watch Police, and to my knowledge, we've completed that crew. However, Andy always wanted to redo them in a style that was a bit more 'dieselpunk'. This is something we could do as we continue to make new models, we could actually revisit gangs to create a new style/look for them. Do you like this idea? If so, what do you think of the Lady Enforcer WIP attached to this post. Do you like her armour style and general aesthetic? We can do this for other gangs over time too - like Day of the Dead themed Nightshades, for example! Hellspire Huntress - Lady Hestia Finally, let's finish off our round of previews with a sketch . Here you can see Lady Hestia in a Hellspire rig, ready to hunt monsters below the city! What do you think? She's wearing our classic style of noble armour and is equipped with the necessary weapons. If something is missing though, let us know now :) Kinds regards, Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for December :) Barricades, Handlers, Hunters and Xmas!

Hi everyone, Let's get straight into today's STL release as there's a lot to go through! 1. Christmas Cressida I wanted to start with this one because it's very on theme for the month - we have a brand new version of our original Bounty Hunter, Cressida! As a true Rebel Lord, here she is in the Undercity handing out candy canes - what a thoughtful Christmas gesture... or is it? ;) We have given Cressida a new pose and a festive makeover, decked out with all the cheer was could muster :D 2. Gang Barricades These are an exciting new terrain kit, which I think we be really useful on your tabletop. They are a varied and flexible barrier system to use as cover terrain with various shooting holes. We have a non-damaged set and a fully damaged set of Barricades to choose between, or mix and match. There is also a 'hinged' barricade in each kit, allowing you to open and close the sides to different degrees for flexibility on the battlefield! 3. Broder Ironfist Earlier in the year, we released Ivar Bonecrusher - the first model from a gang of very muscly boys coming out next year. Now, we have another Bounty Hunter character for to add to that gang! Broder is famous in the undercity for managing the Fighting Pits, and even participating in the fights himself from time to time! Hefting a giant mace and a spiked punch, there are few foes that Broder can't crush beneath his iron fist. 4. The Handler Finally, we have a new hanger-on - The Handler, also known as Kade Tarran. If you have a problem that needs taking care of, you can call Kade and he'll handle it - from a body to be disposed of, to a spare part for your truck, no job is too small or too big for The Handler. That's it for this week's star-studded cast of new characters and terrain! We hope you like them all :D Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Some inspiration from our wonderful Discord :)

Hi everyone, This is one of my favourite updates to put together - a selection of photos from our Discord to give credit to the amazing subscribers using our models, and to provide some inspiration for your own paint schemes and tabletops :D There are always too many images to feature, so please join our Discord and look at them all for yourself. You don't have to comment, just drop an emoji here and there. Discord invite: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Without any more ado, please check out the images in this post's gallery and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for December. Creatures, high-tech Hunters, and Rafts!

Hi everyone, We have a very exciting model drop for you this week to kick off the month of December :D Let's take a look: 1. Sump Raft As previewed last month, we have the Scumrider - a sump raft for the dank oceans of the undercity. It is highly modular; you can make it as long as you like, and there are three front options! A landing craft version, a heavy barge version and a speed boat. You can make three distinct rafts with this kit to add to your ocean boards. In the future, we'll be doing an expansion to add a fan option for the back and we will also do a second version that can work as a hover boat for the Brinkland deserts that surround the city. Keep an eye out for that in 2025! 2. Data Hunters This is the start of a high tech gang that I think many of you have been hoping for :) The Vaross Syn gang have the best technology of Blackreech city, and they're using it to venture into the Hellspire, hunting for more ancient artefacts and hidden technologies. As you know, it's a dangerous place filled with Mutated creatures (and our brave mushroom farmer), so they will likely team up with our Hellspire Hunters to descend below. They are a modular kit with multiple arm and head options. We will be releasing Part 2 of this tech-savvy gang next month, so stay tuned. 3. Chimerix This is my favourite creature so far! Our sculptor did a wonderful job crafting a beautiful and deadly beast - as captivating and poisonous as a viper. He belongs to the Bitter Nightshade gang as a pet, but I think you could use him as a beast proxy to fight in different tabletop scenarios. I was thinking about scaling up him and resupporting him as a statue, as I just love the model so much. If I do that, I'll add a larger version to the object folder on MMF :) I hope you like the start of December's files! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Risor District damaged walls & a sump raft :)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a wonderful week and are looking forward to a fun weekend! It's soon going to be December, and we've already previewed a fair number of characters coming next month, so I thought I'd share some larger minis with you today. 1. Risor District Damaged Walls Firstly, you can see the painted pictures of a prototype damaged wall, which Andy has sculpted and painted. Doing realistic damage, which is printer friendly and painter friendly is a new skill that Andy has spent the last few weeks learning. This wall is only a prototype - it is not the model that will be released, but it does provide proof of concept. Andy wanted to damage the wall in a way that would expose how it is constructed. If you look at the painted images, you can see the metal sections, the rebar, and the concrete, all showcasing how the wall is made. This particular wall took over 10 hours to make, but through the process, Andy has finalised a way to create the damaged walls faster. This is necessary, since we have 4 basic walls and 2 basic columns. If each one took this amount of time, it would take 60 hours to do just one set of damaged versions! But we would like to do multiple damaged versions for the different styles, so Andy needed to learn and then optimise the process of creating them. Anyway, that's just a little glimpse into why making terrain can take a long time :D A set of damaged walls, similar to the one pictured above, will be out in December! 2. Sump Raft We haven't been to the sumps in a while, but it is a fun location to explore, and so we're adding to our line of water crafts with a raft. This raft is modular, with the option to make a few variations, as pictured in the images above. There is plenty of space for crew on board, and maybe even a small vehicle to transport. We hope you like it! See you next month for some more epic Necromunda models :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday, 4/4 for November :) The Guttercogs!

Hi everyone, Our final release for this month is a subscriber request - a cyborg outcast gang! We have previously released two cyborg bounty hunters: Nova Rogue and Axis Gallium, and so we felt it was time to release a crew to go with them. Plus, this is a subscriber request :) So, let's welcome The Guttercogs to Mortuus Secunda! They are a fully modular gang, with the torso and legs separated to provide more options, and they are cross compatible with all past Outcast Gangs, including our standard characters and our Mutated Outcasts that were part of last month's set. So, what do we know about this mysterious gang? "The Guttercogs are a wild and fearless group forged in the shadows of Blackreech's undercity. Distinguished by their cybernetic augmentations, they embrace a philosophy of mechanical transformation, with each member displaying varying levels of replacement—some with a single cybernetic limb, others nearly unrecognizable as human. Their modifications tell stories of survival and ambition; some lost their flesh in brutal fights, while others willingly shed their humanity for an edge in the hive’s ruthless power struggles. Rumors persist of a mysterious benefactor—an underground cyberneticist or rogue tech-priest—who supplies the gang with advanced components in exchange for their loyalty or rare resources, but nothing has even been confirmed. The Guttercogs’ reliance on their mechanical resilience makes them reckless and unrelenting in combat. For them, a severed arm or shattered leg is an inconvenience at worst, quickly replaced with steel and circuitry. This fearlessness makes them one of the most dangerous new gangs in the undercity." We hope you like them! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday :) Some Dec & Jan model previews!

Hi everyone, Today, I thought I'd share a few more finished characters with you, all coming out across December and January! As mentioned in our last post, in January we'll be releasing our not-Goliath gang, but before those beefy boys, we have the Kill-Fist Bounty Hunter! You can see the finished image attached to this post. We'll also be continuing to support our long standing gangs too, with a big expansion for the Iron Brawlers (not-Orlocks). I previewed the new characters with jet packs previously, so in this post, you can see the fighters that go with the expansion. We were inspired by some kit-bashes online for the balaclava head option - hope you like it! We also have some epic standalone gang characters too:

  • A revolutionary hero for our Code Splicer Cult
  • A rogue doctor for our Silent Spectres Then finally, we will keep adding to our hanger-ons and other gritty characters from the underbelly of Mortuus Secunda with The Fixer, here to clean up any gang messes, for the right price ;) Alboran's Heroes To end this post, I just want to shout out a friend :) Lorena started making models with us when we launched in 2021, creating characters during our early days of dieselpunk, space opera, and cyberpunk lines . She then created for our Kaledon Fortis army, before taking a step back to make some of her own models. She creates 40k figures over on her MyMiniFactory store, and has shared some renders and pictures of her newest creations with me. I have attached them to this post! She currently has 30% off in the MMF sale, if any of you are interested :) Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for November. Grimdark NPCs and Wargaming Objectives :)

Hi everyone, I'm really excited about today's release because I think these two kits bring a lot of personality to your tabletop :) Let's start with our NPCs: 1. Grimdark NPCs x8 Last time we did a set of NPC characters, everyone really enjoyed them, so we're doing round 2! We have four members of our fearsome gangs relaxing together:

  • Two Silent Spectres playing a game of cards
  • Two Danika Reapers dancing to an old record player nearby We also have two of our Bounty Hunters taking some down time before their next assignment:
  • The Ash Huntress eating fried tentacles and surveying the room
  • Our Brat Bounty Hunter completely drunk and yelling about his noble family These eight characters would be right at home in our Rot Water Bar, but could adapt to any of your tabletop locations. I can't wait to see how you use them! 2. Wargaming Objectives x7 I love smaller props - they're fun to paint and can go anywhere on your board, and these items have an even greater purpose, as game objectives! We have seven interesting scenarios:
  • Beast's Lair - try to capture or kill the beast emerging from below
  • Hidden Bunker - can you find its location, or figure out how to gain entry, or defend it from another gang
  • Portals - perhaps you go through it to a new place? Or you have to turn it on (you can easily switch out the different portal states during gameplay), or maybe even sabotage it!
  • Religious Artefact - maybe you have to steal it, get a pilgrim safely to it, or pay your own respects before an opposing team stops you
  • Junk Shrine - there could be several on the board that you need to destroy
  • Computer Console - you could hack it to steal the data, or use it to activate the portal or open the Bunker
  • Lever Console - maybe you need to activate the consoles in a specific order, or destroy them both to win However you choose to use these Objectives, I'm sure they will bring lots of interesting adventures to your tabletop world :) Happy printing! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - past model updates :) Risor District Build Guide.

Hi everyone, Today, I want to outline two past model updates for you :) After releasing models, we do listen to feedback and if we think something important is missing from a kit, we'll add to it retrospectively. Today, we have two fun updates for you: 1. Risor District Ladders There are endless fun things we will release for our Risor District 2.0 terrain kit, but they will all come out as Expansion Packs, since they are not part of the core set. We have based Risor 2.0 on the Zone Mortalis kit, so you have everything needed to follow that kit, and add to your existing plastic, since the resin kit is cross compatible with the Games Workshop kit. One thing we completely missed from the base set was ladders! So, Andy has made two ladders - one for the side of the platform and one for the centre using a platform hatch. These have been added to the Risor District 2.0 kit in your MMF Library, so please redownload it. 2. Hellspire Hunters missing weapons We had a few comments on our Hellspire Hunters release explaining we had missed two weapons, which enable you to make the Hunt Master build - missile gauntlets and a toxin whip. These two new weapons can be used on any of our three smaller hunters, so you should now have the opportunity to create any weapon loadout you like! Please head to your MMF library and redownload the Hellspire Hunters: Jalena, Malika and Yadu kit. Risor District 2.0 Build Guide Oh boy, this is a long one! But I've gone through everything you need to understand how the terrain kit works. I have explained all the parts and how they can be assembled together. I think this is an essential download, especially if you're not familiar with the Zone Mortalis scenery. I have added the PDF to our Patreon post, and to the MMF object - another good reason to delete your current files and redownload the zip folder :) That's it for updates today. Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday, 2/4 for November :) Delegates, Masters and Forges!

Hi everyone, It's another Monday and another awesome miniature drop! Let's take a look at the new STLs now available in your MMF Library: 1. Chesterton, Trade Delegate Chesterton serves as a critical link between the desperate syndicates of the undercity and the aloof, opulent nobles of the upper echelons. His sharp tongue and quick wit are his most valuable weapons, enabling him to broker deals for essential supplies, smuggled goods, and illicit favours. His attire is a testament to his dual identity. He dons fine suits, carefully curated to blend in with the wealthy elite. Yet, for all his polished appearance, his origin is betrayed by his calloused hands and the faint whiff of factory fumes that even the most expensive colognes cannot mask. Chesterton knows he walks a razor-thin line: too much ambition could see him cast out or worse, while too little could see him devoured by the undercity’s perpetual hunger. 2. Master of Chains A sinister figure, he is lord of the Slavers Guild, both feared and respected in the grimdark world of Mortuus Secunda. He oversees the operations of slaving, procuring captives from the battle-scarred depths of the undercity, and managing a network of Guildsmen and enforcers who ensure his dominance over the human markets. Merciless yet methodical, the Master of Chains is as much a kingpin as he is a slaver, fuelling the endless cycle of oppression that keeps the hives running. 3. Forge - Ironworks Expansion This is another release in our line of Ironworks machines. We have a giant Forge, an automatic hammer, and an anvil with a Blacksmith character. Plus, a set of iron bars to pound into new weapons! These machines could be used alongside the other Ironworks releases to fill out your Factorium, or on their own as fun terrain on your board. We hope you like this week's releases! :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Miniature previews for the future :)

Hi everyone, Today, I just want to share a variety of fun miniatures that are coming out over the next 3+ months :D As you know, we focus entirely on models for Necromunda, filling out our own proxy world of Mortuus Secunda. One thing that we're been working on is adding more Guild models. We have already completed the Corpse Guild and the Etheum Guild, and so we're next focusing on the Slave Guild and the Coin Guild. The first preview is a character coming out next year, the Master of Coin! On Monday, we have the first character from our Slave Guild coming out. We're also very focused on adding to our existing gangs, and creating new gangs to cover all your gaming needs. We recently released the Iron Brawler and will be adding to them in December with some flying crew members! The next preview shows a series Iron Gliders. There are two remaining gangs we have yet to cover - the 'tech gang' and the 'high gains gang' haha ;) We will be covering those over the next 6 months, so following on in the gallery of pictures, you can see the first characters from our Tech Seekers. They will be an all-female group, with male models to follow. It took us many iterations to get the look right for the women, so we need a little more time to get the men right. After that, there is a sneak peek at our fantastic muscular boys coming out early next year! More previews over time, so stay tuned :) Finally, we also love to add exotic creatures to our grimdark world, and you know I adore the Nightshades gang, so we have a new beast coming out for them. This is the last image in the preview series. I hope you like what you see! Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with TagMyBase :)

Hi everyone, Today I want to shout out one of our subscribers, Sam, who recently reached out to me about his store on MyMiniFactory (TagMyBase), which creates tagged bases. I really like this idea, because it enables you to personalise your gangs even further, giving your characters their names or gang rolls, printed directly on their base! You simply use the Blender file to edit the text on a variety of base sizes, and then export the STL for printing. Sam has kindly offered their Classic base set for free! This has now been added to your MyMiniFactory library to play around with. If you like this idea and want different font designs, you can check out the store: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/TagMyBase?show=store :) If you have any questions, let me know in the Discord and I'll reach out to Sam for answers. Speaking of, let's hear from the TagMyBase duo directly: "Hi all, We are so excited to share with you today the full range of our fully customisable 'Classic' round BaseTags, to exactly match the popular round base sizes for your gangs! If you like these BaseTags, please checkout our growing range on MyMiniFactory, where you can find a whole host of fully editable BaseTag designs for square, round and oval bases of all popular sizes. We even cater for bases with no slopes, such as MDF and acrylics. These BaseTag templates are predesigned to match your base size and shape, and with a few simple clicks you can edit them to include the names of all of your gangers, in the font(s) of your choice, and create an STL file to print out at your leisure. You can also check out our own website, where you can utilise our BaseTag builder to create pre-supported versions of our BaseTags, for your convenience. Thankyou for reading and happy printing! Sam & Ben"

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for November :) Markets, Crusaders & Aberrations!

Hi everyone. It's November and we're fully into the Autumn season now; the perfect weather for staying inside and painting miniatures :D To add to your glorious grey mountain, we have the following models: 1. Kraka Market This is a very modular market stall terrain kit, allowing you to make big stalls and small stalls, from metal or leather. You can attach the stalls to our Risor District walls, or use the back panel with a kickstand to create standalone walls. There are three different weapon displays, and two different market tables, along with 8 guns to add to them. We have also included various fun scatter elements too: a trash can, a stool, a plasma flask, a power generator, a light post, a market sign post, and two loot crates with inserts!! There is so much to enjoy in this massive terrain kit; I can't wait to see what you do with it :) 2. The Crusaders An exciting expansion to our Purifier gang, adding the Crusaders! They have a distinctive look and carry some crazy weapons, but they're still modular and are cross compatible with other Purifier gang releases. We have six distinctive characters, which you can check out in the renders above. A must have addition to your Purifier collection! 3. Hellspire Aberration This is another weird creature from the Hellspire, mutated and corrupted by a strange malevolant presence, human limbs barely visible within the distorted flesh. This character belongs with our other Mutated creatures, released over the last few months. 4. Risor District Flooring This is an entirely new set of flooring for the Risor District, which perfectly matches the Zone Mortalis sizing, allowing you to recreate those beautiful plastic boards. However, this kit is way more flexible! Just check out the variety of boards and configurations shown in the renders attached to this post. Use the pieces to make whatever arrangement you wan, which will dictate how you arrange your walls and columns that slot into place on top. It would make more sense to print in FDM, but we also test printed it in resin and it works great with that too :) That's it for today's massive release - we hope you like it! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 5/5 for October :) Risor District 2.0 is FINALLY here and it's 70+ parts!

Hi everyone, I'm so excited for today's release!! It feels like we've been working on this kit for years, and I bet it's felt like forever for you too, but Risor District 2.0 is finally here :D 1. Risor District 2.0 This is a full redesign of our original Risor District kit, with many more modular options to customise your build, and new features included such as a lift and double walls! This kit contains everything you need to build your own gaming tile, and is fully cross compatible with the Zone Mortalis scenery from GW. The renders show a small example of what you can do with the pieces on a ZM plastic board, but we can't wait to see what our community gets up to with it! The kit contains:

  • 2 Columns
  • 5 Column roofs
  • 13 Column detail modules
  • 1 big door, 1 small door
  • 4 Double Walls
  • 4 Double Wall roofs
  • 4 Walls
  • 5 Wall roofs
  • 1 Lift
  • 11 Platform pieces in 3 different sizes
  • 9 Railings
  • 1 Stairway We're also nowhere near done with this new adventure; we're going to be adding to this kit EVERY MONTH with extra packs. We'll be doing bigger releases like damaged versions for our Hellspire location, as well as fun extras such as a Signage Kit or 'Shoot Throughs'. We will also be releasing an updated set of Floor Tiles next month. I'll work on a Build Guide to show you how the use the kit and release that as soon as it's finished. 2. Clan of Cladhaich Vehicle Kit Continuing our series of creating vehicle poses for every existing gang, we have a hotly requested one here - the dwarves! They are so chunky that they don't work in every situation - such as the turret of the Atlas ATV, but they work in many of our vehicles, and we did our best :) We hope you like them! That's it for this month. I'll do some previews of November's models on Wednesday or Thursday, so stay tuned! Kind regards Gem

Viper Small ATV released! :)

Hi everyone, Today, I'm happy to release this month's vehicle, the Viper ATV. This is a smaller sized vehicle, quick and easy to print, with multiple weapon options. I've attached a printed picture of it to this post :) It's perfect for off-roading in the Brinkland Wastes, and is in the style of our Earthshaker - which is a Code Splicer Cult vehicle - so you can add to that army too. We have a character vehicle kit coming out on Monday (this car doesn't need any active characters to operate it though, as everyone is sealed into the cabin and the gun is controlled from within), and also FINALLY the full Risor District 2.0 release! I'm just test printing the Railings this weekend, after signing off the Doors today. That is is last segment of this huge kit to be completed. After the release of 'base' Risor, we will continue to add to it every month, starting with a Railings set to add more variety to the railings that will release with the standard kit. I'm really excited for this new continuing series. That's it for today. I'll see you on Monday for the final models of October, then on Tuesday 29th we'll go through some amazing STLs to expect in November! Have a great weekend :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/5 for October - Part 1 :)

Hi everyone, Today is a character day :) And it's Part 1 for the forth release of the month because we need a little more time on our bigger release for this week. The Part 2 release should be out on Thursday or Friday. For now, let's take a look at the new characters to populate our world of Mortuus Secunda! 1. Bitter Nightshade Champions x3 Firstly, we have a new set of champions for our long-standing and beloved Nightshade gang. Three beautiful new characters in solid poses to hire as your gang champions. Plus, I have included the heads and arms as modular pieces for you to use with any existing gang packs you have, since they are cross compatible. If you want to get the rest of our Nightshades, we have an Ultimate kit here. 2. Nova Rogue, Cyborg Bounty Hunter The second character for this week is our cyborg bounty hunter, Nova. She could be a partner or a rival to our male cyborg released earlier this year, Axis Gallium. She is armed with a bolt pistol and a power sword, ready to strike down any quarry for a fee. Although she acts as an offical bounty hunter, she will also take assassin work under the table too. You can download both these new character sets from MMF now :) The delayed release for this week will either be our new vehicle from JoJo (previews attached to this post), or the full Risor District 2.0 kit from Andy - both of which are almost finished!! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Sunday! 3/5 for October :) Splicers, Ironworks and Risor bases!

Hi everyone, I'm releasing our next wave of files today because I'm not available tomorrow to do the release as normal, and I figured one day sooner was better than one day later :D Let's take a look at this week's models: 1. Mutated Hellspire Splicers Continuing our plunge into the depths of the Hellspire, we bring you more mutated gang members to go with the Outcasts. Here are two modular Splicers, so you can print multiple creatures and then assemble the eight arms in different configurations. They also come with some floating mutated Grubs, yay :) 2. Ironworks Expansion As mentioned, we will keep adding to our Ironworks series with more machines over time. This is the third release for that series, adding some Ore Pipes which get the pieces of ore to the factory, and some pallets of cast steel bars. These pieces make the most sense when used with our original Ironworks machines, but will also work as cool scatter for any setting :) 3. Risor District Bases We've had requests for scenic bases many times in the past and we're finally delivering with this big kit! We have covered the sizes 25mm, 28mm, 32mm and 40mm as the most commonly used. If there are other sizes you want, let me know in the comments. Also if you want us to do other scenic locations, let me know your ideas for that too :) I hope you like this week's collection. If all goes to plan, next week you will receive Risor District 2.0, which has turned into a behemoth 80 piece kit! Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday! Community lore and community painted pics :)

Hi everyone, This Friday, I want to take the time to highlight some of the amazing creativity in our community over on Discord. Recently, I added a new #community-lore section, where you can post your backstory and lore ideas for the Print Minis world of Mortuus Secunda. There is no wrong or right answer, just sharing your own ideas to inspire others. Plus, if you have any fun scenario ideas for games, you can share them in the #community-lore section too as a historical event on our shared world. Recently, our first subscriber contribution was made to the section!! I wanted to share it here for anyone who hasn't seen it, or is not in our Discord. It was posted by Nick, @JWhZin :) Attached to this post you will also find a variety of painted pictures submitted by subscribers. I think they are an amazing source of inspiration :) Make sure to join our Discord if you haven't already! > ++Scrap Shroud Gazette - Truth in the Shadows: Where Every Deal Has a Dark Side!++ Issue 157 - Etheum guild exposé : what is etheum anyway? What really is etheum? Some say it's just the decayed remains of gigantic beasts that roamed Mortuus Secunda countless millennia ago, An oily residue that bubbles up to the surface in the outer Brinklands just waiting to be claimed. Unlikely if you ask me! Go far enough into the Brinklands and you'll find those beasts still roaming around itching at the chance to relieve you of a limb of two, far from extinct and far too mean and nasty to sacrifice themselves for the greater benefit of humanity.
No! I say there is a simpler and infinitely more sinister backstory to etheum, one much closer to home, down in the lower layers of Stack City. Luckily for you dear readers I have the scoop, your roving reporter of the underhive has found, yet again, the Truth in the Shadows.
Perhaps you have heard huddled figures in hushed voices tell of how the guild harvest etheum from mutated creatures down in the sump using dark arcane rituals and ancient tech. Perhaps you dismissed this as idle nonsense. Well dear reader perhaps this is not so far from the truth after all. Arm yourself against tyranny and read here another exclusive interview with someone who saw, with their one remaining good eye, the evil machinations of this terrible guild that pushes its vile etheum to power to Stack City's machines. From the Brinklands to the grimy underhive, the secretive Etheum guild truly operates in the shadows, engaging in dark alchemy and resurrecting ancient tech. What you see on the surface is the portrayal that they are humble merchants selling etheum mined from the vast eth-fields in the sprawling wastes. They skirt the law keeping the city watch sweet with a constant supply of etheum so they turn a blind eye to their activities, they bribe the gang leaders and stoke the fires of animosity playing them off against one another to keep the etheum flowing. This reporter, your trusted ally in the fight for truth, is here to tell you there's a darker side to the Etheum guild, a tale that, once told, just might arm you in the daily struggle for survival. Our trusted source for this tale is mumbling Bob! Don't let his name put you off though, derogatory names are often used by the powerful to oppress those who would challenge their power. Bob can be found on his usual stool outside the Glowing Ooze bar in Sector 114, the home sector of this esteemed gazette you are reading. Many dismiss Bob for his incomprehensible muttering and fevered ravings, seeing him as little more than a statistic of the hive's brutality. But get him just drunk enough and he'll tell you stories of the deep dark underhive and beyond. This time, Bob has revealed to me the real truth behind the Etheum guild. Who or what is the Etheum guild? Merchants? Mercenaries? Mages? If you come across these enigmatic figures you might first notice the flames. If you're not shortly thereafter wrything on the floor rapidly combusting, you might also notice their heavily masked faces and long flowing robes that conceal armour more than capable of stopping most slug throwers. They do not want to be known and guard their secrets fiercely. Bob, however, while heading back from a scavenging trip in the lower layers of the underhive observed these shadowy guild figures playing out their cultish ways in a remote area of the underhive. Barely three or four layers above the sump, surrounded by decaying machinery and miles of twisted pipework that continually drip corrosive ichor, the kind that dissolves flesh on contact, he witnessed this gathering taking place. In the centre of a cleared area a huddled group of twenty or so wretched and half starved creatures that, once upon a time, could have been your ordinary hivers, knelt in supplication before a raised platform. The platform itself was wreathed in flame and was occupied by a lone hooded and masked figure uttering words full of tongue twisting consonants amplified by the mask he wore to a deep and booming drone that echoed off the surrounding surfaces. Around the edges of this gathering stood brightly burning braziers at chest height emanating thick smoke and giving the area a hazy look of old industrial works. Behind each of these brasiers stood other figures in similar garb as the lone orator. Upon the utterance of a particular word rich with guttural digraphs, these figures tossed handfuls of brightly coloured almost glowing fungi into the brasiers which quickly smouldered releasing noxious fumes into the air. Bob, transfixed by this spectacle, covered his face with an old oil cloth to keep out the fumes which had started to have a giddying effect. He saw more of the hooded figures emerging in pairs from a darkened passageway off to the right, their faces also covered with masks that protruded with hoses. These menacing figures, with flames crowning their heads, wandered amongst the supplicating group handing out small vials that the emaciated souls eagerly imbibed. Within minutes, the wretched underhivers were prostrated gibbering wrecks, moaning and wailing like wounded animals. Barely after the last of them succumbed they were carried off back through the passageway where the guild member originated, their wailing taking on an echoing quality as they descended further into the rotten machinery. Suddenly as the last wretch was carried through the brasiers were doused sending up an even thicker clouds of smoke. Bob's one good eye watered heavily and his head spun. When could see again the area was empty. No brasiers, no people, no sound save the dripping from the corroded pipes. They vanished as if by magic, just a faint haze of smoke remained to give any clue as to the prior events. Alas beyond this the interview did not continue as Bob lapsed back into his incoherent mumbling and no more bribes could entice him into revealing any more. So beware dear reader, this clandestine group thrives on despair, ensnaring the city in their sinister machinations, exploiting the vulnerable and making sure all of us depend on their etheum monopoly. Maybe dear readers, there are a few brave souls among you who will band together and descend the underhive to see for yourselves what the guild is really up to. Riches abound will be in wait for those who dare and live to tell the tale. When you do return, be sure to remember where you got the scoop. I'll be ready to tell your story. I will of course keep my nose to the ground and ears to the walls to give you all the inside scoop and reveal the Truth in the Shadows. Until the next issue....

FYI Friday :) Build Guides and vehicle previews!

Hi everyone, Today, I just want to provide a few updates for you as well as some previews of our current vehicle WIP. Firstly, I have THREE new build guides to share :) 1. Ironworks Gantry Build Guide 2. Mushroom Farm Build Guide 3. Handcar Build Guide Someone requested that last one on the store, and I will always provide a guide if asked. A subscriber wanted the mushroom farm guide (requested in our Discord), so that's here too, and I was always intending to do one for the Gantry as I think it's a slightly more complex build. If you ever want a guide and I haven't made one, please do ask and I'll work on it. I will have guides out for our two train engines and the carriages by the end of this month, hopefully :) The guides are now part of the zipped folder on MMF for each object, but I've also attached them to this Patreon post for easy access. Ashton Wanderer We have made a small update to this model as someone reported the gun snapping off while cleaning. The connection point with the hand has been reinforced, so just redownload him if you've had any issues :) Vehicle previews & a request I've attached a few images of our latest vehicle, the Viper, to this post which is being sculpted by the talented JoJo (@filamentio)! This is a sister vehicle to the Earthshaker for our Code Splicer Cult, but of course, any gang can use it with our gang vehicle kits. I absolutely love how this kit is turning out! She will be released during October :D Now the request: please tell me what other vehicles you would like to see us make! Pop your ideas in the comments of this post. Thank you! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday, 2/5 for October :) Ironworks Gantry & Ashwood!

Hi everyone, Let's take a quick look at today's models: 1. Ironworks Gantry I've spent the weekend supporting and printing this beast of a Gantry system for our Ironworks Factorium series, and it's finally ready to release :D I still have a couple more build plates to get a full kit for photographing, but I built the machine as much as I needed in order to test the kit worked. I've included a quick snap of it on my desk at the end of the gallery. We imagine this Crane system is used by the workers to help them move the Oxygen Furnace around, and tip it into the Cast and Cut Production machines. You can set the cauldron to be in a pouring or burning position. You can also set the height of the gantry using the ladders, which slot into place in the arms. I will release a Build Guide for the Gantry this month. We're going to keep adding to our Ironworks factory over time, so whenever you have any ideas, please add them to our Discord :) 2. Ashton Wanderer The other miniature being released today is a wandering Bounty Hunter, often found out in the Brinkland Wastes. Some say he used to be part of the City Watch, before leaving to pursue an independent and ruthless career. Both of these new STL kits are now in your My Mini Factory library. Enjoy! :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Some models that we're working on :)

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some models we're currently working on. I'm not sure when they'll all come out - some are further in the future, but I thought it would be fun to share them with you anyway :)

  • Danika reaper NPCs: dancing poses x2
  • Brat bounty hunter NPC: drunk pose Our previous NPC kit was quite popular, so we have a set of six more characters to add to your tabletop in the works. I have attached three of the finished models to this post.
  • The Middleman: this character can sort out deals between the undercity gangs and the nobles above
  • The Facilitator: this is the character you call when you want things sorted out. Whatever your problem, he'll fix it through any means possible.
  • The Promoter: here is one more character in the works, this time in sketch format. I'm really excited about this one! If you want any propaganga spreading doing, he's your man! We love adding to our range of interesting hanger-ons and supporting characters for the gangs of Mortuus Secunda. Let me know others you'd like to see in the comments!
  • The Viper ATV: a new vehicle for our gangs to drive, with huge suspension and an array of weapon options. This is a sister vehicle to the giant Earthshaker truck.
  • Ironworks Factorum Expansion: we're working on an expansion to the Ironworks terrain series, adding a much requested gantry system to move the molten iron around, and another mystery machine. I hope you like the variety of models we're working on at the moment. Have a wonderful weekend everyone :D Kind regards Gem

Surprise Miniature Wednesday!! Mutations, rats and carnivorous plants!

Hi everyone, I felt it was too long to wait until our next Miniature Monday, on the 7th October, to launch the first STLs of the month, especially because they're all ready. So, here they are! You can download them from your MMF Library and get printing :) 1. Mutated Splicer Outcasts This modular gang is cross compatible with our Outcast gang and our Code Splicer gang, and is a malstrain version, mutated by the toxic environment of the Hellspire. This is an ancient collapsed settlement deep beneath 'stack city' (officially known as Blackreech City), which is rife with a hideous infection that contaminates the beings who live there. A Code Splicer Cult group have been in the dark for so long, they have broken away from their roots to form an Outcast gang, scarred by the grotesque infection. What is their purpose in this dank place? No-one is sure, but it can't be good. 2. Putrid Rats Carrying on the infectious theme, we have a set of horrifying rats, mutated beyond belief and just as vicious as ever! There are five unique creations, all with different details. I can't wait to see these painted! 3. Hellspire Rot Weed Mutated animal life isn't all to be found beneath the city's crust - in the dark passages and pipeways, you will also find an unusual carnivorous mass of vegetation known as rot weed. This amalgamation of plant life and consumed creatures should be given a wide berth, lest a tentacle shoot out to grab you! That's it for today's new models. I'll see you next week for more STL goodness as we continue to fill out the harsh world of Mortuus Secunda :) Kind regards Gem

Let's take a look at some October previews!

Hi everyone, I hope you've all been enjoying our Mushroom Farm kit over the weekend :) It's soon going to be October and we'll have a brand new set of STLs to look forward to! Let's take a look at some of the finish sets for next month:

  • Mutated Code Splicer Outcasts You can find this new gang crawling in the deep dark places of the undercity, where mutation is rampant! They are cross compatible with past Code Splicer kits, and past Outlaw kits, so you can mix and match gang pieces.
  • Mutated Codelings These foul creatures are allied with the Outcasts and crawl the pipes and caverns of the deep Undercity, spreading their infection. The arms are modular so you can make multiple versions of these monsters.
  • Nightshade Champions x3 This is a new set of champion characters for our Bitter Nightshade gang in dynamic poses! They are 'ready to play' characters, so you don't have to fuss with gluing modular parts to add them to your gang line up :)
  • Hellspawn Plant A terrain piece for the dank undercity - an unholy conglomeration of vegetation and infection, pulling in Putrid Rats to consume them! Those are previews of unseen models :) We also have our Putrid Rats, Female Murder Cyborg and Wasteland Bounty Hunter on the roster for release next month, which have previously been previewed. Plus, a brand new vehicle, WIP coming on Friday! See you next month :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Friday! We made a Mushroom Pipe Farm :D

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry that our releases have been delayed this month; it's all because I like to thoroughly test print and build our kits before releasing them, so I can make sure they work, and that takes around 3 days to complete. The terrain kits have also been a little more complex and that has pushed the schedule back too, as our sculptors have needed more time to finish them. Hopefully it's all been worth it with the release of our Mushroom Pipe Farm! You can see printed pictures and render examples of what is possible with this terrain kit; you can make almost any Mushroom Farm you can imagine! There are a few key pieces from the Ranvik Pipes included here, and then a new set of platforms, a large pipe and lots of mushrooms to make your farm. The terrain kit is compatible with our Ranvik Pipes kit, so if you have that kit already, there is a greater variety of pipes and machines that you can integrate into your farm, but if you don't have that kit, you can still make everything seen in the renders :D I'm in love with the mushroom designs! I love mushrooms and I think these look very sci-fi and really suit the grimdark world of Mortuus Secunda. Plus, we have a mysterious mushroom farmer who tends the mushrooms from his Pipe Farm deep underground, selling them on the black market to make potent chems. Other STL releases: To finish off this month's collection, we have the Psychic Prime with an epic scenic hells base, who goes with our Hellspire hunters, and the Erroish rider pose which has been uploaded to the Giant Scorpion folder on MMF. That's it for September! I'm really excited to share some of our upcoming designs for October, which I will post about this weekend, so keep an eye out for those previews :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday, Miniature Update :)

Hi everyone, We're behind schedule :O So the final release for this month will be coming on Thursday 26th September. I'm so sorry! Models you can expect:

  • Erroish rider perfectly posed for the Giant Scorpion: Andy felt the rider fit wasn't a natural pose, because of the modular nature, so we've made a solid figure. This figure can look up while riding, as we can clip the head into the fabric of the neck, so it just looks better overall :)
  • Repose of our Caryatid to go with the Ohass Hunters, with a mini scenic base. That completes the Hellspire Hunters set
  • Mushroom Farmer NPC for the Underhells
  • Mushroom Farm made from pipes to add to the deep, dark underhells environment Hopefully the wait will be worth it. It takes a surprising amount of time to sculpt mushrooms that look okay haha, so it's going a bit slower than we expected. I can't wait to share the diorama with you though. It's going to be really unique! Thank you so much for your patience :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Engine pics, Lore and Subscriber Inspiration :)

Hi everyone, I finally released the files for our Ash Canyon Express! I'm sorry for the delay, but I wanted to re-print a couple of pieces after adjusting the supports, so I needed a little extra time. I'm happy with how it turned out though :) This Engine is compatible with our Carriages, including the one released this month, and it's also compatible with our Mobile Cauldron and Hand Car released last month :D This was a request from a subscriber, because for some reason, you want to have a high speed train pulling a vat of liquid metal :O I'm not going to ask any questions, only provide the adaptor to indulge your madness hehe. Print Minis Lore I have added a new location to our Discord as an experiment to see if this is something we can enjoy together as a community :) Please head over there and paste worldbuilding ideas, little backstory snippets, campaign stories, anything at all. I will gather this community lore over time and make it official on our website. You don't have to write something out properly, just quickly written ideas is absolutely fine. Or go wild, and submit a short story! I've started us off with a short backstory for one of my favourite characters, Elodie: https://discord.gg/tcBpwXUdVt Subscriber Inspiration Finally, to finish off this FYI post, I have included a range of fantastic pictures from subscribers in our Discord, showing off the models they have painted. I hope this provides you with some inspiration and you enjoy basking in their creativity :) I'm not a very good painter, so I love to see other people excelling at the craft.

Next week, we'll chat about terrain ideas for the next few months, as I'm going to do some bulk planning this weekend. As always, I'd like your thoughts on what you want to see coming up :) Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Tuesday! 3/4 for September. Hellspire Hunters & Ash Canyon Express!

Hi everyone, I'm so EXCITED about this week's models! Let's take a look: 1. The Ash Canyon Express This is a new Train Engine for our grimdark railway, and this time I named the train! The design seemed to take some inspiration from Wild West Steam Engines, and so we went with a name that gives this vibe. Now I think I should name our previous train too - you can view that here. Do you have any suggestions? Moving back on topic, the supported files for this beautiful new design need a couple more days to finalise. The STL kit is full of details, which took our lovely sculptor Pedram two extra days to finish. Absolutely worth it! But it means the supporting pipeline is a little delayed. I'm working on the pieces as fast a I can, and I expect to upload them on Thursday 19th Sept, once I've built the train to check it all works okay. Oh also, the new Engine is cross compatible with our 0 gauge railway tracks and carriages! 2. The Hellspire Hunters Our Dark Spire Hunters were really popular when we released them several months ago, and so we've give their kit a complete overhaul! Here's what we've changed:

  • The arm options for the massive Ohass suit are now modular, so you can choose hands or pincers, and there are three different gun options to choose from after that, which you glue to the hands you pick.
  • All the heads are modular and cross compatible, so you can mix and match. There are also 4 new head options available in this kit.
  • The arm options for our three normal sized hunters are also cross compatible, so you can give them different weapons to what you see in the rendered examples. Some weapons have had a redesign.
  • The wings are posable on Yadu now.
  • The new hunter poses are no longer 'hero poses' so they work on a normal base without the need to use our scenic bases We hope you like this redesigned kit and can take the new team deep into the Underhells to hunt some monsters! Let me know your thoughts in the comments :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Risor District 2.0, Model Previews and Lore Thoughts :)

Hi everyone, Firstly, a quick announcement - Miniature Monday next week will be on Tuesday 17th September. We just need one more day to finish the Grimdark engine! Risor District 2.0 accelerates forwards As you can see at the start of this post's gallery, there is a render showing Andy's progress on the columns and platforms. We hope you like them :) The platforms are directly compatible with the GW kit, and we will have adaptors to allow them to connect to Risor 1.0 platforms too. Let's Talk About Lore I'd like to get your opinion on the idea of Lore. As you might know, we call our planet Mortuus Secunda. The main city is called Stack City due to how high it towers into the air, and it is surrounded by the Brinkland wastes. This world overview is inspired by another game we all love :) But I was speaking to a new subscriber recently (nickg12), who asked if we have our own lore. It's actually something I've considered on and off, because I love the storytelling and world building aspect of tabletop games. This subscriber also suggested a fun idea, which I want to run by you. I could create a Discord channel for PrintMinisLore, and the community could submit a story snippet for different characters, gangs, vehicles, terrain or creatures from our range. I could regularly go through this channel and select some lore to add to our website. Yes, we have a very underutilised website :O I think using it to host lore and stories about our STLs could be a really lovely way to use it, and provide a hub of stories from the whole community. Maybe it can expand over time into game scenario ideas too. What do you think? :) Up and Coming Models This is the part of our FYI post where I talk you through some models we're currently working on. I'm not sure when they will release, as we're trying to work a little ahead of time at the moment, but do let me know your thoughts on them.

  • Slave Master: we will be adding another guild to our range, the Slave Guild. The first render you see is their leader WIP - what do you think?
  • Putrid rats: these will be larger than the War Rats to allow you to really paint all the repulsive details! They belong in the dark hells of the undercity.
  • Redeemers: this is an expansion to our Purifier gang, offering an even more zealous group with cross compatible parts
  • Murder Cyborgette: when we released our Murder Cyborg, we got a few enquires for a female robot, and here she is. She could work with Axis, or is perhaps a nemesis! Let me know all your thoughts in the comments. Engaging with the community is always the best part of my day :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for September :) Corpses and carriages.

Hi everyone, It's time for another STLs drop this week, and we're starting with a grizzly one! Have you ever wondered about the black market trades on Mortuus Secunda? 1. Corpse Trader & Corpse Pile Well, here's one cog in that shady machine. The Corpse Trader is a foreboding figure, meticulously wrapping your friend's body and binding him with ropes, to haul the lifeless body away right in front of your eyes! This Trader isn't worried about adding more bodies to the pile in his quest to gather the dead, so stop him at your own peril. After all, every dead ganger is another pay day for him, and there's always someone willing to buy fresh meat for the grinder. To accompany this burly character, there is even a corpse pile scatter piece, requested by a subscriber on our FYI Friday post which revealed him. Such a good idea :D 2. Small Carriage Expansion This is an expansion for our Grimdark Train released in June! It is a pair of smaller carriages, which you can add to your railway network. I have included the resin tracks again for anyone who does not have that past kit. I also think these pieces would make great terrain for the board, perhaps as a crashed carriage with luggage spilling out. Or an old weathered carriage abandoned long ago that could be a new gang hideout. The surfaces are fairly blank, with some optional accessories, to allow you to add graffiti, posters, weathered sections etc. Note: there is warping I can't avoid on the base and roof pieces. Just sand them before gluing them for a cleaner fit :) So sorry! 3. Danika Reapers Vehicle Kit Continuing our series of 'vehicle kits' for every gang, so they can all use our line of vehicles, we have the gorgeous Reaper gals! There is one pose to work as a driver, one to work as a rider (such as on our Giant Scorpion) and one to operate any turret guns. I hope you like this week's models :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday :) Risor District 2.0 Update and Painted Pics for Inspiration!

Hi everyone, Today, we have two things I want to share in our catch up post :) We have an update below from Andy on his work with the Risor District 2.0 kit. Then, I have also attached a series of painted pictures by amazing subscribers, first posted in our Discord. These are pictures of our miniatures, some in super creative dioramas, so you can check out different ideas for using the terrain, and different colour schemes for our gangs. I have listed the person who posted the picture and the miniature that it features on the images. I hope you enjoy scrolling through them as much as I did :) Join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Now, a word from Andy: "Hello, Another quick update on Risor 2.0 from me today. The kit is coming along nicely, and I'm now calling the wall elements for this release finished. They have been substantially expanded over the original Risor 1.0, with this section of the kit now having over 30 pieces, which can be combined together into literally thousands of combinations! Today I'm going to quickly share some renders of a new element for Risor 2.0 - double walls! This was a hotly requested feature and its been great to be able to provide something you guys really missed from the first kit. There are also 4 double roofs to complete the double walls kit. Of course all the accessories for the single walls can be applied to the double walls to give huge levels of customisation. We'll have the columns and platforms to show off for you guys soon. I'm also reading all of your suggestions and wishes for expanding the Risor District in the future, so please do keep them coming! These update posts serve as storage locations for your requests. Have a great weekend! Kind regards, Gem & Andy

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for Sept - Spectre Expansion, Stacks and a Giant Bug!

Hi everyone, It's the first release of September, and we're starting off strong! Let's take a look at this week's new STL kits: 1. Silent Spectres Ultimate Expansion This kit has it all - we really pushed the boat out this time! We have two assassins, two psychics including big robotic harness, a floating squid robot and two mechanical snakes. If you like to collect and play our Spectres, this ultimate expansion is for you ;) 2. Info Stacks A new terrain piece for your board, perhaps you can even add it to a new environment deeper in the hellish undercity! This terrain relays information across the city, storing data in it's huge stacks. Maybe stealing a data core can be a new objective for a scenario? This is a modular kit, with each info store and cables being unique, so you can print all four, or mix and match across multiple Stacks so they all look a little different. It took our sculptor ages to make the wire details, so we hope you like them :) 3. Giant Scorpion This model is perfect for out in the desert wastelands! We also made it mountable using any of our rider characters from previous vehicle kits. It was a little tough to make the characters fit, but it works well enough, and it was too cool not to try once we had the idea haha :D That's it for this week! What will you be printing first? Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Let's talk about September :)

Hi everyone, Today, I wanted to do a full preview of the EPIC expansion to our Silent Spectres gang! Check out the images attached to this post to see the full array of new characters being added to our gang of sneaky boys :D This new gang kit is coming out as our first Miniature Monday release! Most of the arms are modular, so you can mix and match with the arms from our previous gang kit for greater variety. The heads are modular too. We hope you like it! As for other models you can expect in September, here are a couple of extra teasers, also attached to this post as renders:

  • Giant Scorpion mount (which will work with any of our gang rider poses)
  • Dark Spire Hunters 2.0
  • Train expansion adding a new engine (still to be sculpted) and two new carriage types (passenger and luggage) You'll have to keep following our grimdark adventures next month to see what else is going to be released :) Thank you so much for your support! Kind regards Gem

The Ironworks Factorium STLs are now available :)

Hi everyone The Ironworks files have now been released, and you can download them from MMF. Let me know if you notice any issues, or you would like any extras added to the kit in the near future. We already had some great suggestions for a gantry system to help move and load the Cauldron, and we'll be working on a Blacksmith workshop for September as the next stage for the steel bars, after manufacture :) If you have other ideas, let us know and we'll do what we can. In the final FYI Friday post of Sept, I'll outline some of the kits coming up next month. See you then! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for August :) The IRONWORKS.

Hi everyone, Today's release is an epic scenery kit called The Ironworks. It is a series of detailed machines which can be used to turn iron ore into steel bars, ready to be crafted into weapons by a skilled blacksmith. We have the:

  • Blast Furnace
  • Oxygen Furnace
  • Cast & Cut Production Conveyer We thought it was a timely kit to release along with our Iron Brawler's gang (who run the iron industry), and it also pairs really well with the Handcar, since we've done a version of the molten metal cauldron which can be towed along the rail tracks! The files have all been supported and print tested - I just have the build the pieces to check the fit, once they're cured. Our terrain sculptor (Pedram) is also making a few finishing touches, which we want to include in the kit before release, such as a molten metal insert for the cauldron. So - the files will be released tomorrow! Today is a preview of what we've created. Let me know your thoughts in the comments :D Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Let's talk about Risor District 2.0 :)

"Andy here! Today, I’m going to chat to you about the upcoming remaster of our Risor District kit. Head to the bottom of this post for the Key Information Summary. We released Risor over 12 months ago, and while it was an amazing kit, there were elements I wish we had more fully considered during its design process - a real bugbear of mine was the fact it wasn’t directly compatible with plastic ZM scenery! Since its release (and it becoming one of our most popular kits) lots of edge cases have also cropped up which we struggled to cover with the kit in its current format. Our original Risor sculptor, Pedram (who does much of our terrain) did an incredible job with Risor District 1.0, but with the release of the damaged ZM terrain from GW, I finally decided it's time for me to do a 2.0 version. So about a month ago, I started working on a full remaster of the Risor kit. I had some key goals in mind -

  • Provide a high level of compatibility with official ZM terrain and tiles.
  • Alter the core design to bring it closer to the official ZM offering for this initial set. Ideally, pieces should not look out of place while still providing something interesting.
  • Improve the level of modularity and customization the set offers.
  • Improve compatibility of the core elements with FDM printers.
  • Save resin wherever possible for people who want to print in resin (which is what we do personally).
  • I also really wanted these to be fun to paint, with nice chunky details mixed in with little interesting details - which is my personal sculpting style. I'm a painter, so I test out all my designs :)
  • Address issues raised by customers and add missing pieces that people have requested After a number of prototypes, I settled on a core design vision and began production. I’ve got the redesigned walls to share with you today! The New Risor District Walls The new walls are quite different from our old ones. Matching with the raw shapes of the official ZM sets, they slot in seamlessly around their plastic counterparts. The new Risor will include four different wall designs. To complete the structure of the walls there are four roof sections (which are also compatible with the plastic ZM system). Of course you could stop there if you want some quick and easy walls - but each wall actually has two further customization module options, an upper one and a lower one. In this initial release, there are four modules for each position and they are designed to be used in any configuration. This gives a huge amount of customization for the walls, thousands of different permutations allowing you to really make your scenery your own!

I’m really happy with how these turned out, so much so that I’ve started painting up some of the early prototypes for my own ZM board. We’ll share more of the set as we get closer to release! We are aiming for a late September release, but this could change as I progress through the kit. I’m hoping this set becomes something we can continually revisit in the future, so you can really build an incredible arsenal of highly customizable ZM terrain. We will aim for a small upgrade for this kit every month after its release :) If you have any suggestions and wishes for the future, please let us know below!" Cheers, Andy


Key Information Summary

  • The Risor District is being redesigned to address fit issues, compatibility issues and missing pieces, and to save on resin when printed.
  • Risor District 2.0 will be FREE to anyone who already owns it.
  • However, Risor District 1.0 will always be available to download for anyone who owns that - don't worry!
  • Risor District 2.0 will be fully compatible with ZM terrain
  • We aim to add to RD 2.0 every month with small additional pieces as an ongoing series for subscribers
  • The new kit will include walls, columns, doors, platforms, stairs, a lift, floor tiles, and railings
  • Once we have perfected the new kit, we will release a damaged version of the set, just like GW has done for the new underhells location
  • Risor District 2.0 will go straight to the store (since it replaces an existing kit), but Damaged Risor will be released as part of the monthly subscription

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for August. Hells Spider, Handcar and Workers :)

Hi everyone, Today, we have a really fun set of models available, across many random themes :D 1. Handcar This vehicle utilises our railway tracks from the Grimdark Train release in June (included again) as well as the weapons from our two race cars: Gertrude, and Angelika (released this month). It is a modular design, meaning you can build the car in multiple different ways. It can be a passenger hauler, with a protective ram at the front and mounted gun, and benches at the back to ferry gangers. You could also make it fully into an attack vehicle, with rams on either end and double weapon mounts! Or, you can simply use it as a way to get around your iron mines, with lights on the front and back, and railings to stop people falling off. Which version will you build? :) 2. Mutated Hells Spider Our popular giant spider is back! This time, the horrifying beast has been infected and is now crawling with corruption! Again, there is a large scale version of her and a smaller one to form her babies. Mirror the little one for more options. We've seen lots of painted versions of our Sump Spider in the Discord over time, and I can't wait to see what you do with her sister :D 3. Industrial Workers x6 Finally, we have a kit of NPC workers to be found in the iron mines, or any factory location you need to populate with lackies. We have five unique poses, performing a variety of jobs. They are not modular to give us better flexibility when posing them. There is also a 6th worker posed to drive the Industrial Bot! I have added this character to the Bot folder as well as being present in the Worker kit too. We tried to pose him in a way that was fairly neutral, so you can kitbashing him into different situations, like controlling a computer at a desk. We hope you like this week's releases! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Let's check out some painted models for our subscribers :D

Hi everyone, In today's catch up, I just want to celebrate the work of our amazing community, by sharing some painted model pics that I've gathered from Discord :) I actually gathered so many awesome pictures that I can't fit them into this post, so I'll do another one in about 2 weeks time. If you want your painted minis to feature, make sure you share them with us in the Print Minis discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 As you can see from the images, we have everything from one off characters, to full gangs, to terrain and also our vehicles too! I have credited the person who painted the model and also listed what the models are. Our Danika Reapers gang came up a lot in the Discord recently; I'm so happy that you like those ladies :) We will be expanding on them in the future, and I also thought about an NPC set for them. Let me know if there are any poses you'd like to see! In fact, we could do NPC sets of about six characters for each gang, specifically? It could included relaxed poses, and even a couple of injured gangers. It's just an idea... let me know what you think :) Have a fantastic weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for August :) Classic cars and giant hunters!

Hi everyone, It's time for another model drop! Let's see what new items are in your MMF Library this week: 1. Angelika, the Classic Racer This is a sleek, stylish car for only the most sophisticated gangers! Inspired by 1930s vehicles, and modelled with a unique grimdark style, this car comes with 4 gun options. The weapons in this kit are also cross compatible with the weapons in our Gertrude - Wasteland Racer kit, so you can mix and match if you have both sets :) There are some different build options too - you can have a trunk or the weapon mount in the back for a gunner to stand; there is a detailed engine with a brain controller under the hood, and you can pick a lid to cover that or display the brain with an open hood; and finally, you can choose to mount weapons at the front of the car, or cover up the slot. All the characters from our 'vehicle kits' will fit this car. There is a Build Guide with the download. 2. Silent Spectre Vehicle Kit Naturally, we've launched a driver, gunner and rider pose for the Spectres gang with Angelika, as we designed the car with that sneaky gang in mind. But these poses will work with any of our vehicles too. 3. Ivar Bonecrusher The first character from a new gang of beefy boys! However, he's also an independent bounty hunter, so any gang can hire this massive brute. He wields two gigantic hammers, and is clad in the skin of a creature he killed out in the wastes. Bulging with muscles and rage, you definitely want this ganger on your team! We hope you like this week's models :) Let me know your favourite in the comments. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday post! Industrial bot build guide & model previews :)

Hi everyone, Just a couple of updates for you today :) Firstly, we have finished the barkeeper repose for the Drunk Tank, and I have added him to the Drunk Tank kit on MMF, and also to this month's release. You can download him now. Hope you like him! Secondly, please redownload the Industrial Bot files to gain access to the finished Build Guide. I've also done a little renaming and neatening of the files in the folder too. Finally, here are some previews for future models! 1. Industrial Workers These are the last two finished workers for our NPC kit, which are now in the test printing stage. 2. Spectre car - Angelika The car is finished and the parts are already coming off the printer! I will do a full build before releasing it this month to ensure everything works okay. I think it looks amazing though and it's great to have another race car for our series :) 3. New Gang Expansion Finally, the last image is of some new characters from a gang expansion. Who do you think this fella belongs to? It's pretty obvious ;) Anyway, have an amazing weekend, and see you for Miniature Monday soon! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for August :) Industrial Bot, Iron Brawlers gang and Nightshade bodyguard!

Hi everyone, We have a very exciting start to the month for you with Week 1 of our STL releases! Let's take a look at all your new shiny miniatures :D 1. Industrial Bot This is an expansion to our 'Bot' series, with a new model, this time equipped for working in the industrial mining sector of Mortuus Secunda. There are six large tool options for the robots arms, and two leg options (stood or walking), so there is a big variety of models you can create. The tools can be magnetised onto the arms using 5mm magnets, so you can switch them out once assembled, if you like. We will be releasing an Industrial Workers kit this month too, which will include a character sitting in the cabin of this robot, so keep an eye out of that during August :) 2. Iron Brawlers Gang This is a fully modular brand new gang! The Iron Brawlers are known for their iron mines and their distilleries, so you might want to pick up our Snakebite Distillery terrain to go with them ;) Of course, we'll be releasing a vehicle kit for this gang at some point too, so they can jump into the Colossus and haul that iron ore or homebrew liquor across the Desert Wastes. The gang comes with male and female characters, some iconic hat options, and a huge range of weapons! 3. Nightshade Bodyguard & Psychic Fiend This kit is absolutely beautiful, with a highly detailed Nightshade figure - Calista - in a super dynamic pose. I just love this new addition to such a long standing gang :) She comes with a psychic fiend too, which you helped to create with your feedback a couple of months ago. We hope you like how he turned out! Let me know what you think of this month's models in the comments below. What will be hitting your printer first? Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Loyalty rewards, barkeeper, and model previews!

Hi everyone, It's FYI Friday already and another month :) Firstly, take a look at the finished repose of our barkeeper, Tolliver! He's had his keg removed and his pouring arm swapped for a regular robot arm, handing a beer to a patron. He is going to be released on Monday for new subscribers as a bonus, and added to the Drunk Tank folder on MMF for everyone supporting us last month. I have also released Loyalty Rewards today, so if you have been with us for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or 12 months cumulatively (it's okay if you moved platforms between Tribes and Patreon, or skipped a month here and there), you will have earned the reward this morning :D Check out the full rewards kit render attached to this post. Remember if you join our new annual tier (Frontier Vanguard) on MMF only, you will get all the loyalty rewards at once! Finally, some model previews for the future:

  • Worker poses: these will be coming out in August. A set of Worker NPCs. They are not modular, but they are still an exciting addition to your tabletop dioramas.
  • Spectre Car: this vehicle is close to being finished and is very fancy! All driving poses for our gangs will fit this, and the Spectre vehicle kit will be released this month too.
  • Corpse Pile: this is an addition for our Corpse Trader previewed last month! It was requested by a subscriber, and we loved the idea.
  • Train Carriage: this passenger carriage is almost finished for our Grimdark Train! It will be coming in the future along with other carriages. Any requests, let us know! That's it for today's post. The first release for August will be coming on Monday 5th, so we'll see you then. Have an amazing weekend :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Release 4/4 for July! Industrial Dice Tower and Elias Welt :)

Hi everyone, Let's take a look at the final models for July: 1. Industrial Dice Tower Thanks so much for your patience while we finished supporting the Dice Tower - it's a pretty large kit to allow you to toss multiple dice down at the same time. I wanted to test print each piece and then assemble the tower to make sure it works. It does! There is a resin version which is 15% smaller than the FDM version for a less arduous printing experience - it's still around 150mm tall though. There is the tower and then platforms to use the kit as a playable terrain piece, and a 'pool' to catch the dice. We hope you like this subscriber requested kit! 2. Elias Welt This loyal assistant is companion to Kane Ivano released last month, or could be used as a ganger for hire - whichever you prefer :) He might be dressed in rags, but he's a fearless fighter to have on your side. Happy printing! Kind regards Gem PS - a bar keeper will be coming for the Drunk Tank soon :D

Drunk Tank files and Build Guide released!

Hi everyone, The test printing today went great, and Andy was able to build the whole kit, with a couple of small tweaks to the files. I will be taking some nice photos of the build soon and posting them to Instagram, so make sure you follow us there if you'd like to see the printed version! I was also able to complete the Build Guide today, which I have just added to the folder, and uploaded the fully completed kit to My Mini Factory. It's both a complex and easy kit - easy to build if you follow the guide, and not too intensive to print, but it would be hard to assemble without the PDF, so make sure you do check it out :) Thank you! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for July. Drunk Tank, Archibaldus & Erroish vehicle kit

Hi everyone, It's time for another set of Monday releases! Let's take a look at the new grimdark goodies: 1. Drunk Tank This party bus is the final entry in our trio of 'food tanks', with the other two being released earlier this year (Gribble Engine and Kebab Krawler). The Drunk Tank is a mobile bar, rolling on the back of a tank bed, ready to serve the finest hooch in all the lands to any thirsty patrons :D All the parts in these three kits are cross compatible, so you can mix and match to create your own unique vehicles. There will also be a unique pose of Tolliver, our Bar Keeper to go with the Drunk Tank, coming out next week :) NOTE: The supported parts for this kit will be uploaded to MMF tomorrow. I'm running the final print bed tonight, so we can do a full build before we release it. 2. Archibaldus, the Brat Bounty Hunter The sass on this character just tickles me. He's so pompous! Archibaldus is from a wealthy noble family, but is one of many sons, so he's bored and starved of attention. This restless rich boy has found his way down to the undercity for some fun as a bounty hunter, ready to prove his worth or die trying! His parts are modular, and we hope to expand our range of Brats to make a full gang in the future. What do you think? 3. Erroish Vehicle Kit Carrying on our quest to provide you with vehicle compatible poses for all our gangs, here are the Erroish Tribe! They can now drive any of our past vehicles, and we're going to be working on a new insect for them to ride in the future too :) That's it for today's release. We hope you like everything! What are you most excited to print? Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for July :) Fuel Station, Etheum Mage & Brutes!

Hi everyone, This week is all about fire power, starting with our awesome terrain kit. This is one of my all time favourites! 1. Fuel Station The Fuel Station terrain kit is highly detailed, with a full interior and lots of awesome damage on the outside, so this structure feels like it's seen a lot out in the wastes! I think the building will act as an excellent objective for your tabletop scenarios - fighting over control of the station, or trying to refuel a vehicle will another team tries to stop you, or perhaps you need to make a fuel delivery. So many possibilities! The kit comes with a separate sign (which of course has the blank option too), a building with interior detail and accompanying awning, a dual petrol pump (which can also be used on it's own, if you prefer), and two cute vending machines for the inside! There are also lots of external details, and many pieces in this kit are cross compatible with our previous release of Vendor Stalls. I can't wait to see what our community does with the Fuel Station :D 2. Etheum Mage This is the final character from the Etheum Guild set. An imposing miniature that wields two large flamethrowers, it's best keep him away from the Fuel Station! ;) 3. Armatis Mors Brutes As I said in our FYI Friday post, these are the last characters from the planned releases under our Armatis Mors range. We tried branching out into wider 40K models, and there was a mixed reaction from our audience - this isn't really a niche where we thrive, given the number of other Creators making proxies for it. Therefore, we refocused entirely on our 'Munda universe. However, these 5 Brutes now finish off the Combat Patrol, which I will bundle up into an Ultimate Kit for our store next month. Thank you for your understanding here. We hope you love this week's new STLs. Your continuing support means the world to us :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for July :) Reapers, Robots and Loot!

Hi everyone, Today's Miniature Monday is taking place on a Tuesday, because we needed at least 24 hours for subscriptions to clear and everything to sync before we could release new content. Speaking of new content, let's check out this week's STLs! 1. Loot Crates x14 These are sooo much fun! They are designed to fulfil the loot scenarios in your tabletop games, where you can close the lid to hide the contents, or have the lid off so you know what you're getting. The crate inserts are modular, and two inserts fit in the big crate. The inserts cover everything from ammo and weapons, to food and supplies. If you have any more ideas for inserts, let us know and we can do a mini expansion for this kit. Also - should we do a 'spacer' to raise the flatter inserts higher up in the crates? They currently sit right on the bottom. It was something I thought about when building the printed versions (which I'll post pics of on Instagram later). Let me know in the comments! 2. Danika Reapers, Corpse Harvester Cult This is a brand new gang for our roster, an all-girl gang like our Nightshades, but this time much darker in theme. These ladies are armed with chain glaives and butcher's cleavers ready to cut through their enemy, literally! I think this gang would look excellent in the city or out in the wastes due to their 'mad max' theming. I think each unique character is full of personality and there are so many cool details to paint. I hope you love them as much as I do! :) They are fully modular, with separate heads and arms. 3. Cyberweiler, a Robot Dog This is an old robotic dog to go with any of your existing gangs. I think he would also look really good with the Enforcers, since they already have a range of Cyberhounds, or with our Cyborg Bounty Hunter - Axis Gallium, released in May. Anyway, what more is there to say - have fun finding this good boy an owner :) Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Wednesday! 4/4 for June. House Caraval Gang & Grimdark Train :D

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to share the final releases for June with you! We have: 1. House Caraval 'Ready to Play' Gang An outcast gang, with 10 unique poses to choose from so you can pick your own line up from the figures available :) They are carrying standard outcast weapons. The set also includes 'The Mind Torn' loaded with dual flails, which is one of the House Caraval core models. The Mind Torn can be paired with one of our Bounty Hunter sisters released earlier in the year to form the playable 'carnival' duo. 2. Grimdark Train This kit comes with a train body and a set of 0 Gauge tracks. Plus, options for train wheels or tank treads instead! There is also a flat wagon, which is compatible with our standard shipping containers. This can also be equipped with wheels to run on the tracks, or tank treads for a land train version. Although the wagon fits our shipping containers, you can also use it to load other cargo as it's fairly sizeable. I haven't done a Build Guide for the kit yet, but I will finish one this month :) Have fun and thank you for your patience! Kind regards Gem

Bismuth Vaults Build Guide! Plus, file updates :)

Hi everyone, I wanted to post this update in a separate post from our last STL file release for June, which is coming out this evening. The Bismuth Vaults Build Guide is finished. It's 50 pages, clear & detailed, and it goes over exactly how to use all the pieces in this kit. I also asked Pedram (the kit creator) to read through it for errors. The Vaults kit is quite complex. It has many pieces because it was the expansion of an existing kit, which wasn't originally designed to make rooms & stack multiple floors, so there are lots of little scenarios where a single unique piece is needed. However, it's an easy kit to use one you've read the guide, and you can make so many cool structures with it! File Updates: While I was painstakingly building the terrain kit in Lychee, I came across multiple scenarios where a part didn't originally exist. For example, we now have parts to allow you to connect stairs around a corner of the building. There is also now a detail piece to neatly end the top of the Connectors once you have gone as high as you'd like to. Plus more! So - you need to redownload the Bismuth Vaults zip folder from MMF. Even if you've already started printing and building something, please download the new folder. Inside the folder, you will find the Build Guide. I'd recommend reading it, even if you've figured out how to use the kit already :) I'm so excited about the Bismuth Vaults. It was a long process to make the build guide, but it really showcased to me the epic buildings you'll be able to make with the pieces. I've attached screenshots of my unique Lychee build to this post. Please share what you design in the PM Discord! Happy printing :) Gem

FYI Friday! Random updates and some previews :)

Hi everyone, I have quick a few random updates for you today, so we'll just go through them one at a time: 1. Purifier Vehicle Kit Update A subscriber alerted me in the Discord to an issue with the Gunner arms for this kit. Firstly, the supported files were missing, and secondly, the arm was gigantic :P I have fixed the arm scale and added the supported files. Please redownload this kit. 2. Risor District Wall Issue Another subscriber let me know about a delamination issue at the top of the Risor District walls when printed. After investigating, it looks like the resin was think here, which can sometimes cause the issue. We have edited all three Wall options to prevent the issue happening. Please redownload this kit. 3. Discord Spammer! For the first time since launching our Discord, we had a spammer. The community was swift to point them out to protect vulnerable users from clicking the link. Hopefully we've now resolved the problem :) Thanks everyone! 4. Two New Ultimate Kits I have add two new Ultimate Kits to the store:

  • City Watch Enforcers Ultimate Kit: this is every STL we've ever made for our Enforcer gang, at a discounted price of 40% off, which your subscriber discount is then added on top of. It's a bargain!
  • Corpse Reaping Party Ultimate Kit: this is a specific group of characters bundled together for our Corpse Reaper Gang, which were released over 3 months. It's now 40% off to buy them as a bulk set. I'll be working on a Colossus Ultimate Kit next! 5. One New Ready to Play Kit
  • City Watch Enforcers RTP Gang: I have now completed another Ready to Play gang, which is a non-modular gang with weapon options and character choices coming in below 1000 credits. This gang should get you started if you want to try out this faction without any fuss :) 6. Bismuth Vaults Build Guide & File Fixes These are coming soon! The build guide is over half finished, and we've noticed a couple of file issues - mostly with one of the connector options missing module slots. Also, we're adding a couple of extra files. I will outline all of the changes when I release the Build Guide next week. You will need to redownload the zipped folder at that point. 7. Previews of future models Attached to this post, you can see previews of three future model releases. One is finished and in the queue for release, and the two others are at sketching stages.
  • Silent Spectre Assassins x2 - two more sneaky bois for your collection! This time, melee focused.
  • A sidekick for our infamous Kane Ivano Bounty Hunter
  • A new Bitter Nightshade character - the Matriarch's Bodyguard A Note on Ultimate Kits: when we create a new character for one of our factions that has an Ultimate Kit, I will add the character to the kit. I will then increase the price to reflect this, but the character will be free to anyone who already bought the kit :D Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday :) 3/4 for June. Vaults, Brutes and Purifiers!

Hi everyone, It's time for another STL drop - let's take a look at the models we've just added to your MMF Libraries :) 1. Bismuth Vaults This is an expansion of our previously released Bank Vault, converting that terrain kit into a stackable set of walls and floors, so you can make multi-level structures! It contains a lot of pieces, connectors especially, so I'll be working on a Build Guide this week. While you wait, you can begin printing things you know you will use, like the walls and flooring sections. Then the Guide can tell you how to assemble them, so you print the right connectors etc. I'm also printing more pieces at the moment to build a smaller version of the render example. I will let you know if we need to tweak any files to improve the fit. At the moment, every piece has been tested in terms of the supports, but I need more copies to build something. Saying all that, I'm so happy with how this kit turned out and I hope you are too :) I think it's going to be great for gameplay. Note: because it's an expansion of an original kit, upon the request from subscribers, it's not specifically made to be compatible with our other terrain. 2. Etheum Brutes This is a modular kit, which will enable you to assemble your own Brutes from the Etheum Guild. We actually started this Guild House a long time ago, releasing our Etheum Lord which is now available on the store, in April last year! I'm not sure why it's taken us this long to add to the Guild, but for June, we have the two brutes, and then next month, I'll release our final character to complete the Etheum Guild :) 3. Purifier Vehicle Kit This kit continues our monthly journey of creating vehicle poses for all of our existing gangs, so you can use any of our gangs with any of our vehicles. That's it for our third Monday of the month. See you next week! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Let's look at some amazing subscriber discord pictures :)

Hi everyone, Today, I'd just love to celebrate the creativity of our amazing community :) I have gathered a whole selection of painted miniature pictures from the Discord, and then added the subscriber name and the model name. Take a look at the images for some fun inspiration on the dioramas and colour schemes! Thank you so much to everyone who shared them :D If you're not a member of our Discord, please join here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 I also saved a lot of fantastic printed pictures, but felt it was too many images to share in one post, so I think I'll do a separate post to showcase the wonderful prints you've been working on too. I don't get a lot of time to paint, but I do love to print and assemble our kits, so I think that's worth celebrating too :) Anyway, have an excellent weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for June :) Bridges, bounties and ratties!

Hi everyone, Today we have three fun STL releases for you! Let's take a look: 1. Ash Desert Rats x2 These big boys sit on 40mm bases, so they're actually giant! Shaped by a harsh environment, these viscously smart beasts are relentless in pursuit of their target. They are an awesome addition to your tabletop environment on their own, and would also be perfect with our Ash Huntress available on the store. 2. Kane Ivano Another incredible and famous Bounty Hunter for your tabletop - he's also the husband of Yara, released last week :) Kane is a wayward son, descending from a royal family, but rebelling against his gilded heritage to forge his own path in the dirt and the blood. An unstoppable force wielding dual pistols and boatloads of confidence :D 3. Rustak Bridge This is a piece of scenery that I've wanted to do for a while, as I think you can add it to many different situations. It will also look great weathered up! It's a simple, extendable bridge to cover a gap across the towering sections of your tabletop dioramas. Technically, you can extend it infinitely (although of course there will be a stability limit to the resin), so it should work well in most situations you encounter, and even on the ground too. It's also fairly wide so you can fit your gangs on it for a showdown! We hope you like this week's models :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for June. Oil, codes and bounties!

Hi everyone, Today we have a fantastic set of new releases for you :) 1. Oil Pump I love how this kit turned out - it's an excellent standalone model that you can add to your tabletop diorama! It's easy to build and comes with a short build guide, and doesn't take much printing to finish it. I think it will look really good painted up in a weathered style and be a new objective for battles :) 2. Yara Alkino, Bounty Hunter Yara is a brutal hunter, sparing no mercy and working relentlessly to achieve her goals! She is originally from the Nightshade House, but has since branched out on her own as an independent bounty hunter. She is equipped with an auto-pistol (styled after an Uzi), a long rifle and a stiletto knife. 3. Code Splicer Cult Expansion This is a huge expansion to our code bois (and gals)! It adds pretty much all of the remaining weapon options, including a lasgun and the Kaldeon Fortis helmet on some head options, so this cult can even join your army, if you want. There are also a series of unique characters - a medic, propagandist, and a comms expert with a radio. This just adds more life and options to your gang. We've also added a modular third arm to four of the body options, so you can have three armed Coders mixed in with your previous gang. All the arms will work in the third slot, so everything is cross compatible :) We hope you like today's release! Kind regards Gem

Loyalty Reward Updates :)

Hi everyone, Today, I have quite a few updates to share with you, so I'll just list them below. Please read the ones that relate to your level of reward:

  • 3 Month Reward A couple of months ago, I added a new folder to this reward - 'Etheum Containers for FDM'. I announced it in an FYI Friday post, but thought I would say again in case any long time earners of that reward haven't seen the new folder. I also added the 'Etheum Container End Low Profile' which was a subscriber request. This makes the end of the container less prominent, so you can position it right next to the Colossus Transporter when sitting it on the back :)
  • 6 Month Reward We had a little feedback that the module slots on 'Etheum Pipe - Double - To Ground' were not the same size on the top and bottom, and so the magnet holder cannot fit in both. Andy has now ensured they're even, and I've updated the supported file. I also noticed that 'Etheum Pipe - Single - To Ground' was missing from the folder. I've no idea why that piece wasn't in there, but I've added it now. I'm so sorry about that!
  • 9 Month Reward There were two new pieces requested by subscribers, which Andy sculpted and I have now added to the kit. 'HPE Tower - Core - Flat Top A' and 'HPE Tower - Core - Flat Top B' enable you to place a platform directly on top of the Etheum storage towers. Due to the design of the flooring, this wasn't possible with the flooring pieces. These new pieces now enable you to do this, and you can see them in the 'ultimate render' above, showing you all the kits together. The flat top to the towers is the new piece! 'HPE Tower - Ladder for Gantry End' enables you to add a ladder onto the end of a gantry instead of just on the side of the storage drums.
  • 12 Month Reward I have finished the Build Guide and added it to the folder :) Just download the zipped folder again, and you will now know how to build this kit. So sorry for the delay - it took me a while to put together for some reason! What is the Loyalty Rewards - Ultimate Kit? This new combined kit is for our Vanguard Frontier subscribers. If you're not heard about this tier yet, you purchase 12 months of your subscription in advance, getting the full Loyalty Reward kit instantly! Plus, the months drop down to our lowest rate of just $9, and you get 55% off our MMF store too. WOW ;) undefined That's it for updates. New files will be out soon and I will be updating our loyalty reward groups with new qualifiers tomorrow, once June payments have clearer :) Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with Tesseract Tomb - Tug Boat!

Hello, To end the month with a bang, we have a collaboration with our friend Daniel over at Tesseract Tomb, who has been making his own models for the Sump Sea this month :) He has generously shared a Tug Boat with PM subscribers! I thought this was the perfect accompaniment to our pirate themed Ogre ladies. It's now available to download from your MMF Library. Have fun! Gem x


Now, let's hear directly from him: Hi Everyone, I'm Daniel, the designer behind Tesseract Tomb. I would like to share with you this Tugboat that I designed for the Sump Swamps. It can be printed with FDM and is fully supportless. I design terrain and machines for your tabletop games. I'm currently working on Scum City, a huge settlement built on the sumps. It will come with hab buildings, a shipyard, a lighthouse and even some boats and ships. I'm currently in the middle of releasing the models, so it's not too late to join in. If you like my designs you can find me on Patreon or MMF: https://www.patreon.com/TesseractTomb https://www.myminifactory.com/users/tesseracttomb Happy Printing!

Miniature Monday! Kebab Krawler, Chef and Enforcer Vehicle Crew released :)

Hi everyone, Let's take a look at the final STL releases for May: 1. Kebab Krawler w/ Chef Thank you so much for your patience in waiting for the Kebab Krawler. We're now really happy with the end result and have added this kit to your MMF Library. The Kebab Krawler is fully cross compatible with the previously released Gribble Engine, so you can mix and match the parts! Among the renders, you will find two examples of builds with mixed parts. The Krawler also comes with a chef - Simone, reposed from her previous release as the Charred Rat Griller. The Kebab Krawler is a reimagining of her shipping container foodery (Charred Rat Grill) as a small, mobile vehicle for the Ash Wastes. There is a Build Guide included with the download. The printed photo you see above is a part build of the kit - Andy ran out of time to glue it together, which he'll do tomorrow now, but all the pieces have been test fit :) 2. Enforcer Vehicle Kit Every month, I will be releasing a vehicle kit from one of our gangs. These kits contain a pose for driving a vehicle (this will also fit in the cab of the Kebab Krawler too), riding a vehicle (like the Laurin motorbike) and firing a turret. Over time, all the gangs will be covered. At the moment, we're looking at the Purifier gang in June, then the Erroish Tribe in July and the Silent Spectres in August. We hope you have enjoyed May's models! Thank you so much for all your support :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! 12 Month Loyalty Reward released!

Hi everyone, Today, I'm just announcing the release of the 12 month loyalty reward. I'm going to save our model previews for next week, so I have a few more to share with you. There will hopefully be more updates on the Corpse Reaper gals and our Grimdark Train by then :) Also, exciting news, Andy has been working on a surprise vehicle which will be releasing on Monday - the Kebab Krawler! You'll have to wait until after the weekend to see it, but it's in the same 'series' as the Gribble Engine kit. We're making a fleet of food tanks hahaha So, if you head into your MMF Library, under 'Shared With Me', you will now see the Etheum Rig. This is our 12 month loyalty reward. I'm working on a Build Guild guide at the moment, which will be finished next week, but in the meantime, you can start printing out the pieces. We hope you like this final reward :D After finishing the Kebab Krawler, Andy will start adding little extras to the reward kits, which people have suggested in Discord. We're also thinking of expanding the 3 month reward kit a little, so do let us know your requests in the comments. Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for May :) Pirates, hooch and cyborg crows!

Hi everyone, Today we have another epic release for your tabletops! Let's talk through the new STLs added to your MMF Library: 1. Snakebite Distillery This is a distillery chamber modelled off copper pots that distil gin. You can print many of them to creature an alcohol factory, and then connect them to the Ranvik Pipes Kit to form a network and pump off the hooch for transport! We hope this terrain piece will be a fun storytelling scenario :D 2. Cyborg Crows What could be better than robot birds as a pet? Crows are highly intelligent, and combined with robotics, they're an awesome companion! These three are designed for the Purifier Gang, but could be used with anyone. I can imagine them following Axis Gallium around - cyborg pets for a cyborg hunter. Plus, crows are the symbol of death, so it works great thematically! These models printed beautifully - make sure you follow us on Instagram to see printed pictures this week: https://www.instagram.com/printminis/ 3. Female Pirate Ogres (modular) Ahoy there! We have the other half of our ogre gang release, this time all-female characters, for the Sump Sea Pirate Crew. We have a selection of new weapon options, multiple different heads, and three unique character bodies as part of this modular kit. We will be expanding the weapon options of our Pirate Ogres in the future, so please leave weapon suggestions below. We will also be adding some non-combat arm options too, after subscriber requests. We hope you like these buccaneering ladies! Let me know in the comments which is your favourite of our three releases today :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for May :) Ranvik Pipes and Cyborg Bounty Hunter!

Hi everyone, We have two new releases for you today! Plus, I'm finally happy with the supports for Nemesis, our War Zybot, and so he has been added to your MMF Library too. Let's take a look at your new STLs: 1. Axis Gallium, Cyborg Bounty Hunter This relentless killing machine is a cyborg, heavily modified far from his human origins with one purpose in mind - murder. As a gun for hire, you won't find a more ruthless or successful killer. Add him to your gang, or face him as an opponent! 2. Ranvik Pipes Kit I absolutely love how this kit turned out - there are so many wonderful details to paint, and so many ways you can put it together. I had a go at assembling the kit, as you can see from the printed pictures attached to this post. Ignore any wonky bits - I'm terrible at making scenery, and I think there is now more superglue on my hands than on the pipes :P Hopefully it shows you the potential though! There is a note inside the Adaptors folder - please read this. I won't repeat the information here - it's only relevant if you wish to use the pipes kit with our existing scenery pipe ports, and even then, only if you would like a perfect fit (within 2.5mm). I hope you have fun with these pipes! I think they'll be really fun on your tabletop :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Inspiration from Discord, Etheum Rig, and Pipes preview :)

Hi everyone, I have a mixed set of updated for you today! Nemesis Update Firstly, an update on the Nemesis. Sometimes kits just take a while to make it through the printing stage :/ This kit should have been out on Wednesday, but the guns were larger than I expected and I had a lot of failures. So, I resupported and reprinted. Then it turns out I forgot to print the ankle joint, which meant I had to run the printers again, and finally today, when assembling to model for release, we discovered an issue with the ankle joint. We need our lovely sculptor to make a final edit, and then Nemesis will be ready. I will release that model on Monday now, alongside our other planned kits :) I'm so sorry for the delay. Etheum Rig, 12 Month Reward Update It's almost finished!! Andy is making a few small tweaks for a better fit, and then we can release the Rig next week. I have attached some renders for you to check out, since the Well Head in the centre has now been sculpted. This kit is absolutely beautiful :) After the release of the 12 month reward, Andy is going back through the others and adding some subscription suggestions and little extras! Monday 13th - Pipes Preview I'm really hoping I'll get through the supporting and print testing of this kit over the weekend! Just imagine me like a little supporting goblin, going as fast as I can :D You can see two grainy screenshots from our terrain sculptor attached to this post. This is a huge Pipes Kit, which should be compatible with both our terrain and GW's terrain. There will be some careful testing involved after printing. Our pipes might be a different height to GWs... I don't want to talk about it... :P But if needed, we're going to make an adaptor, so this new kit works with everything. That's the plan anyway! Inspiration The Print Minis Discord is the most incredible place :) There are so many creative hobbyists, printing and painting our models, and it's a joy to see what they create. I like to collect images and share them here for people who don't use Discord, or who haven't visited in a while. Just soak up the inspiration for your weekend with these pictures! Thank you so much to our community over there; you're all amazing :D Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for May :) Mercurio, Queen Lehana, Silent Spectres, and Laurin the Motorbike!

Hi everyone, Today, we have an amazing set of miniatures for you, and we've started the month with a BIG release of models :) Let's take a look, starting at a miniature I didn't preview last month! 1. Laurin, the Motorbike This is a motorbike which will work with any of our gang member poses, but we designed the bike to be for our Enforcers, hence why he comes with the bike kit. It is based on old European police bikes and there is a version with & without bars across the front. We hope you like him! 2. Queen Lehana This stunning character is a zombie queen, roaming the underhive with the reanimated members of her murdered family! Should we do sculpts for them? 3. Mercurio The brother of our House Caraval ladies released last month, and a Bounty Hunter available for hire. He oozes confidence and has the muscles to back it up! 4. Silent Spectres Gang This is a big kit, with lots of different weapon options and arm poses, 13 different head options including 3 wearing fedoras, and 8 unique bodies with their own pose! With this kit you should be able to make a complete sneaky boy gang :) 5. Nemesis - War Zybot (supported files coming soon) This is an expansion to the model we release last year, finishing that kit in terms of all the weapon options you could want! He comes with 13 different weapon options, and a variety of poses! It is a modular kit that you print and build, as he's quite a big robot. It's a simple build though. I'm still test printing the pre-supported files. I made some tweaks for a better result this morning, and I'm reprinting the parts this afternoon. I will post when that kit has been released, either tomorrow or Wednesday :) We hope you like the start of this month! Let me know in the comments which model you're going to print first! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday: Bonus Release! 5/4 for April - The Watchtower

Hi everyone, It's the final Monday of the month and we have the last model for April ready - a Watchtower :) This works perfectly with our City Fortress, sitting behind those towering walls at a height that works with the Firing Ports. It is also fully compatible with the Risor District terrain, and I show you how to use it with that previous terrain kit in the Build Guide. We hope you like it! It should add some fun height to your Gang Stronghold, and give you more scenario options. I can't wait to start releasing our collection of models for May - see you next month, and thank you so much for your support :D Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with Filamentio :) Chonko free STL! Plus, epic Kickstarter details

Hi everyone, I'm really excited about a collaboration with Filamentio today, which is run by JoJo - one of our vehicle sculptors :) In fact, he made The Harvester Truck this month! At the moment, he is running a crowdfunder - Wheels of Thunder - featuring an amazing selection of battle vehicles. You can learn all about the crowdfunder here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tiborbattletank/wheels-of-thunder We have teamed up with him to offer some of our past models as characters that operate the tanks, which you can back as an extra tier if you like :) Make sure you head over to the crowdfunder page to look at all the interesting vehicles JoJo has created, and let me know on this post which is your favourite. Mine is the Skunk - I love it's unusual shape and armour design! As a thank you for checking out his project, JoJo has also provided a free STL from his store - Chonko. This is in honour of our Harvester truck, so you can add even more farm-inspired vehicles to your collection :D This tractor is so cute! You can now download Chonko from your MMF library :) Let's hear about the Wheels of Thunder project directly from JoJo: "Hello everyone, for those who don't know me yet, I'm Jojo, a 3D designer at Filamentio. For over a year now, I've had the pleasure and honor of designing a thing or two for Print Minis. Recently, Print Minis and I sat down together and decided to try something new and exciting. For the past few days, my 16th Kickstarter campaign, "Wheels of Thunder," has been underway. It's a collection featuring all of my vehicles that fit into a Grim Dark universe! There are 14 different vehicles to choose from, and here's the really cool part: As an add-on, you can get Print Minis miniatures with these tanks. I've designed the vehicles to fit perfectly into the Print Minis universe! But wait, there's more! Just for you, I have a bonus: While the Kickstarter is running, all Print Minis supporters will receive the Filamentio vehicle "Chonko" for free! I hope the Kickstarter appeals to you, and you enjoy having Chonko. Best regards, Jojo

Miniature Monday! 3.5/4 for April - Big Upgrades to Fortress and Bitter Nightshades Vehicle Pack :)

Hi everyone We've been working hard all week to create a pack of Upgrades for a City Fortress scenery set, based on feedback from subscribers. City Fortress Upgrades Please re-download the City Fortress folder to get all the new goodies. The additions are:

  • Firing ports: two new firing windows in the walls to shoot at attackers
  • Heavy weapon mounts for the window, railing and wall, and three included heavy guns!
  • Ladders to access both levels of the fortress
  • Individual wall sections for more flexible building (not attached to a column)
  • A working gate! We edited it so you can open it, not just push it out
  • Pipe ports for invaders to access the fortress Inside the new folder, you will also find a detailed City Fortress Build Guide on how to use this large terrain kit. It's over 50 pages! Bitter Nightshades vehicles kit Over the next few months we will be releasing character packs for our gangs which provide all three vehicles poses, which are standardised across our vehicles. Driver pose: works on Colossus, Gertrude race car, Atlas ATV, Harvester truck Rider pose: works on Kimber quad bikes, Sedona motorbikes Turret gunner pose: works where ever there is a gun to fire, including the City Fortress as seen in our renders. Other locations are Colossus, Atlas and Gertrude Hellmyre OVA We have made changes to the Hull and Pilot Platform to fix some fit issues, so please re-download the Hellmyre zipped folder. Sorry about that!

That's it for releases today. Next Monday we will release out Watchtower, which will work on it's own or with the Fortress :) Plus on Friday, we will highlight some models to expect in May. Have a great week! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for April :) A city fortress, the Caraval sisters, the Hellmyre & a truck driver!

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to share the third set of STLs with you for April! This is a fun selection :) 1. City Fortress This is a massive kit - only for the most adventurous tabletop gamer ;) We actually designed it to be printed supportless in FDM, and it also prints excellent in resin if you prefer that detail level. The parts are hollowed, so they use less resin. I'm working on a Build Guide at the moment, which will be out later in the week. The City Fortress works on it's own, and it is also fully compatible with the epic City Gate released in February. If you like the Fortress, we would recommend picking up the City Gate too using your 50% discount. It's on our store here. 2. House Caraval sisters - Vittoria & Maddalena I absolutely love how these characters turned out! What do you think? Shall we make a full gang in this style? The Caraval ladies are both sisters, armed and ready to go Bounty Hunting in the undercity for the thrill of it. They are irreverent, too intelligent for their own good, deadly fighters, and of course, highly fashionable :D 3. The Hellmyre OAV This drop pod is very detailed and comes with different options. There is a landing version with smoke billowing from the engines - this will make a gorgeous tabletop piece! But if you'd prefer something simpler, there's a landed version too. The kit comes with a Kaldeon Elite trooper, which can be placed inside. If you like the drop pod concept, we can expand on the range, so let us know in the comments! 4. Corpse Reaper driver Finally, we have released our gorgeous and fierce Reaper driver for The Harvester. I think she looks amazing in the driver's seat :) She is an example of what our all-girl Corpse Reaper gang will look like. What do you think? I've also added a Code Splicer Driver pose to the Harvester folder as a bonus, because this vehicle would be great for the splicers too. That's it for today's releases - thank you for your support! :D Kind regards Gem

A Model Swap with Wargames Atlantic! Death Fields Valkyries Kit :D

Hi everyone, We have a very exciting share with you today - a whole modular kit of armoured ladies from Wargames Atlantic! The models have been added to your MMF Library already :) Let's hear directly from the team: Print Minis Subscribers! Gem and Andy had the great idea to do a mini swap between our two communities and we were thrilled to participate! Our gift for you are the Death Fields Valkyries! For thousands of years, advanced alien civilizations have visited the Earth for one purpose: to steal their bravest warriors. For centuries, the cream of Earth's soldiers have been taken against their will to fight, die, and be reborn in arenas throughout the galaxy: the Death Fields! The Valkyries are a unique and formidable team on the Death Fields' Circuit. Taken at the same time as the Einherjar from the same Viking fleet, this all-woman team has defined itself over the centuries to become true to the Norse legends. Swooping down onto the battlefield they employ a variety of weapons from plasma to blades to defeat their enemies. Our Death Fields range is currently composed of 11 hard plastic box sets and over 20 digital file sets. But Death Fields is just one of 12 different hard plastic and digital ranges that we produce. Our Tribe on MyMiniFactory delivers 11 (next month 12!) file sets each month - something for each of our ranges. There is something for everyone and if you’re a kit basher we have a ridiculously extensive catalogue of digital files. Check us out at: http://www.wargamesatlantic.com https://www.myminifactory.com/users/WargamesAtlantic https://www.facebook.com/wargamesatlantic https://www.facebook.com/groups/WargamesAtlanticLegion Happy Wargaming!

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for April. Huge character drop - 8x NPCs, House Aki and cute Delivery Bot :)

Hi everyone In this week's STL release, we have an abundance of grimdark characters for you :D 1. Grimdark NPCs x8 with scatter terrain This has been a hotly requested release! Our lovely subscribers have long been asking for some NPCs to inhabit their city, and we're finally delivering :) You may recognise many of these models, either as previously released one-off characters or from gangs. Now you have a version of them relaxing or engaging in other activities, like arm wrestling! If you like this kit, please do let me know in the comments because we can do more NPC packs if you want. If you have ideas of non-combat activities our characters could be doing, please let me know too. We thought about some dancing characters, maybe hugging, playing chests, karaoke, etc. Oh also, the scatter terrain in the renders is included with the download. 2. Introducing House Aki Next, we have some beautiful characters from a new house, the inspiration of which you might recognise ;) These characters were requested in our Discord. We have Lady Keiko, and there are two versions of her. An armed version and one that works with our Tea Cabinet as a Tea Marchant. I love her kimono-like clothing, and styled hair. Then we have Sakura, a skilled fighter ready to defend House Aki, and looking more sinister with her rebreather. These two ladies can ally with our Silent Spectre Gang. 3. Delivery Bot So cute. This was a random idea of mine a while back - a little robot designed to deliver the post around your Grimdark city. I was thinking about what service robots or machines might exist for everyday life in the city, and I'd also seen modern postal robots, and so the idea for this robot was born. He doesn't really have a purpose in your games :P Maybe as a drone? But he's mostly supposed to be very adorable and fun - something to add life to your tabletop. He can also act as terrain for your characters to interact with, as you can see in the printed picture, where our NPCs are chilling out with him :) Let me know what you think! Shall we do more 'service robots' in the future? Kind regards Gem

Miniature Wednesday! The first releases for April, 1/4 drops :) Giant harvesters, pirate ogres and kitties!

Hi everyone, It's time for our first file releases for April, and we're starting off strong with a vehicle, some creatures and a new ganger. 1/ The Harvester We have a driver coming for this vehicle later in the month, however most past driving poses should work (we're updating the Kaledon Fortis elite one to fit). The Harvester-inspired vehicle looks good with or without the refrigeration container, and the download comes with a Build Guide. This truck is for our Corpse Reaper Gang, but would also look awesome for any gang to drive across the wastes :) 2/ Pirate Ogres This modular crew of beefy boys are kitted out as grimdark pirates and ready to rule the Sump Seas! I also included the additional head set we released several months ago for our Ogres, so you have more head options than were designed newly for this kit :) 3/ Stonekats These are reptiles (we were inspired by the Thorny Devil Lizard!) crossed with cats and are for our Bitter Nightshade ladies, or they could be an exotic pet for any of your gangers. They could also work well with a beast merchant. I just love their design and am looking forward to adding some contrast paints to my printed versions! We hope you like this first set of STLs. We'll be back to Monday releases again on the 8th April! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Let's look at the first models for April :D

Hi everyone, Today in our catch up post, I want to take a look at the models that will be released in our first 'Miniature Monday' of April :) However, because Monday falls on the 1st, we need to give it 48 hours for your subscription renewals to process properly before I share the STLs, so it will actually be 'Miniature Wednesday' next week. 1. The Harvester Truck This is a brand new truck for the wastes, made with the Corpse Reapers in mind! It comes with a refrigerated container on the back, and a grinding blade on the front, with a scoop to direct the ground meat into storage. Grim, but efficient! There will be a corpse reaper driver released for this vehicle later in the month. All past driver poses also fit this vehicle. 2. Pirate Ogres! I love how this kit turned out :D The set is modular, so there are several body poses, arm options and head options to make a varied gang. We will expand on the weapon options in the future. We imagine this gang to live on the sump seas, maybe on the Hyperion Boat, carving out a life for themselves by hunting spiders or perhaps other vessels! 3. Stonekats We have some new stunning beasts for your collection, which belong to the Bitter Nightshades. They actually pair with the Wyld Girls and Dark Maidens to complete that set of models :) Each kat is unique and should be awesome to paint due to their crispy details. If you stay subscribed with us for April too, all these models will be shared in your MMF Library on Wednesday 3rd April, woohoo! Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for March - a massive Events Scatter pack!

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to share this Monday's release with you, as I don't think I've teased the WIP of any of these models in our FYI Friday posts, so it's a total surprise :) I absolutely love how this terrain kit turned out, and I think it has so many fun use-cases on your tabletop! Of course, it pairs perfectly with our Fighting Pit because it allows you to set up a huge event centred around the pit. However, I think all the individual parts will make excellent city scatter for your tabletop dioramas, and can also be used for other scenarios like a Road Race for example. Let's take a look at this kit's contents:

  • Bleachers-style Event Seating: a modular kit, so you can set it up in many different configurations
  • Event Entrance: this is a small entrance to define where to enter a location. Use it for events, or for different zones of your city
  • Big TVs: I think it will be a lot of fun to paint different scenes on the TVs! They could be broadcasting the event for better visuals, or spreading propaganda in your city square
  • Large Speaker: this can used be for music, announcements, or you can image it is a siren to warn of attacks
  • Ticket or Betting Machine: we imagine this to be a betting machine for the Pit Fight, but you can also use the version without text as a ticket machine. Place it by the entrance to a venue, at an alternative event, or by a dockside. It could also just function as a computer for tracking stock at the Trading Post.
  • Small scatter: a poster board to advertise the event on, a trash can, a bench, and security fencing to set up a parameter around your event (or direct cars around a race track etc) Everything has been test printed, as you can see from the printed photo, and I have also included a Build Guide with the Bleachers Seating set, so you know how to assemble all the individual pieces. I hope you have fun with this kit! Please share pictures in the Discord of how you use it :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for March. Bank Vault, Spectres & 3-armed Leaders!

Hi everyone, Did you all have a good weekend? It was finally sunny here in the UK, although it's still cold, and so I was able to start doing some garden clean up. I felt like a vampire emerging from the house after months of winter! :D I was also busy printing and building today's terrain release. Speaking about printing, let's look at the latest STL models! 1. Bank Vault This went together really nicely and I was happy with the amount of warp on the walls, which was an initial concern. There's something so fun about opening the vault door and seeing an array of gold bars stored inside haha. I hope this will be a useful terrain piece for many tabletop scenarios, where you can either steal the vault, protect it from attack, or try to break in yourself! It's large enough to fit people, and of course, you can add your own loot. The wall and floor system is also modular, so you can actually use it to make rooms and corridors, or a giant vault. I think we will expand on this kit in the future to focus even more on the room making capabilities, so pop any ideas in the comments for that. 2. Gang Lookout, Silent Spectres This is the first character for our sneaky boy gang! We have edited him based on feedback after we shared the initial ideas and I think he's turned out cool :) I was also struggling to name the gang, until a brilliant suggestion from 'Draega' via MMF messages. I really like Silent Spectres as it sums them up perfectly, and Spectres is a great short name to refer to them (like Nightshades for our Bitter Nightshades gang). The head is separate so you can paint the details more easily, before gluing him together. The arms are not modular for this character, but the full gang will have modular arms. 3. Coven Leader, Code Splicer Cult This character completes the Code Coven set! The Code Father and his minions were released last month, and now we have the Coven Leader. We already released a mage last year in the form of Marina. This Code Splicer has three arms, and two of them are modular, meaning you can use arms from previous kits to customise this character. I hope you like the latest releases! Thank you so much for your continued support :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for March :) A Fighting Pit, male & female warriors, and a Kaledon Elite expansion!

Hi everyone, It's time for another Miniature Monday drop! Let's take a look at what you can find in your MMF Library today: 1. Fighting Pit I'm so happy with how this kit turned out. I just built it today and it fits together so nicely; there's a simple build guide included in the kit, and you can see the printed photos attached to this post. I think this terrain will bring a lot of life to your tabletop scenarios :D We have an Events Scatter kit coming out next week to accompany it. 2. Male & Female Pit Fighters Two fighters, enhanced with robotics, bound to fight in the pits as Pit Slaves! We really enjoyed brining these gritty fighters to life. Hope you like them :) 3. Kaledon Fortis Elite Expansion There are two parts to this release. An extra weapon and more pose options for the main lasgun, compatible with the previously released Kill Squad set: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-elite-kill-squad-x10-kaledon-fortis-346298. I will be adding these extra poses to that set too, as they were missed from the original set. If you don't have that release, these five poses will work on their own too. I have included repeats of two heads, so you can build your troops. But also, buy that kit ;) The second part of this expansion is a Vehicle Kit! We have:

  • A driver: works on the Colossus, Gertrude Race Car, Atlas ATV
  • A rider: works on the Jet Skis, Sedona Motorbikes
  • A turret gunner: works on the Colossus, Atlas ATV These troop poses will not be included in the previous Squad release, and are standalone for this month's collection. We hope you like the latest models :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for March :) Dwarves, rats and an ATV!

Hi everyone, Today we are releasing the first files of March! Let's take a look at them: 1. Atlas ATV First we have a new vehicle for the desert wastes, created by our vehicle sculptor JoJo. There is the option for a driver and a turret gunner and we have provided poses from the City Watch Enforcers. Plus, there will be Kaledon Fortis elite poses coming out with the mini expansion next week, and the outlaw crew from Gertrude the race car also fit the ATV! There are 4 weapons options, tracks or tires, and even the option to not include the back turret section at all, leaving an open truck for carrying goods. 2. War Rats These are hilarious! I've wanted to do them for a while, and our sculptor Ilaria, did an incredible job with their cute little faces, armed to the tails with grenades and other explosives :P 3. Clan of Cladhaich expansion This kit from Martina adds new poses and heads for the men, as well as a whole new set of female characters. The female heads have versions with and without a beard, and they are wearing an interpretation of traditional Scottish women's clothes :) There are lots of new weapon options, and three unique backpacks too! This should hopefully round out the gang with just a few unique characters left for our space dwarves. We hope you like all these releases :) Kind regards, Gem

The Gribble Engine is released! Plus, previews for next month :)

Hi everyone, The Gribble Engine is fully print tested and ready to go! You will now find it in your MMF library :) There is a detailed Build Guide inside the zipped folder, as usual, so you know what to print and how to build your new vehicle without having to figure anything out first. Today, I also wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some new models you haven't seen before! Previously, I have teased our Clan of Cladhaich space dwarf expansion, featuring female dwarves too, with and without beards. Plus, you know the ATV with Enforcers is coming in March along with our male and female Pit Fighters :D All these have been previewed in FRI Friday posts. Today, I have more new models to share, many of which will be coming out in March, with some ready for April. You'll have to stay tuned to see how next month shapes up ;) We finished our first sneaky boy character. Here he is rendered after changes based on people's feedback. We hope you like how this gang looks! Do you have any ideas for a gang name? I'm struggling with this one :/ Also attached to this post you can see:

  • Purifier Gang Rats
  • A small expansion for the KF Elites adding a new weapon, new pose, and additional arm options for the lasgun
  • Delivery Bot (for all your postal needs!)
  • Bank Vault
  • Bitter Nightshade lizard cats We hope you like what you see :) Also, don't forget that our 9 Month Loyalty Reward is now finished and available. You only need to be with us for 9 months in total - not 9 months back to back - so you can rejoin us after a break from the subscription to keep building up your months towards the amazing High Pressure Etheum Storage kit! See you in March, Gem & Andy x

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for February :) Introducing the Gribble Engine

Hi everyone, There's been a change of plans for the release this week - we need a little more time to add extra guns to the ATV vehicle kit, and tweak some things after test printing for a better build experience. We want the kit to be as useful and fun as possible for you :D We're also posing some of our elite Kaledon Fortis troops to operate it too! That kit will be coming out next week :) Instead, we have a total surprise for your today - a miniature kit we haven't even previewed! Andy has been working on this one for a while, and it is now finished. He's been excited to share it with you all: The Gribble Engine! This is a tank crossed with a soup kitchen haha, ready to traverse the desert wastes, offering much needed sustenance to the convoys and settlements out there. It also comes with a new version of an older character, a favourite of many of you - Krell, our Protein Chef. He is now posed adding spices to a soup of unknown ingredients, without his grinder backpack, and with added spice pouches. We hope you like him! The Gribble Engine is modular, so you can build it in several different ways. There is also detail beneath the floor panels, so you can see the inner workings of the vehicle just peeking through, if you like that sort of thing. I have almost finished supporting this fun vehicle kit, and so the pre-supported files will be out asap, along with the Build Guide :D We hope you like it! Kind regards Gem PS - On the 28th/29th, I'll post a preview of some of next month's finished models.

9 Month Loyalty Reward Released! High Pressure Etheum Storage

Hi everyone, For our FYI Friday post today, I'm very excited to finally release our 9 month loyalty reward!! The High Pressure Etheum Storage kit is extremely flexible, allowing you to build a huge variety of different storage towers and gantry systems. The kit is fully compatible with our 3 and 6 month Etheum loyalty rewards too. Andy has almost finished the Build Guide, showing you how to use the kit, and I will release that as soon as it's ready. In the meantime, if you print one of everything, that will be a good start :) It's also not a complex system, so many of you will not need the guide. There are the tanks, which stack in different ways to make different looking towers. The gantry platforms and their supports, which can be attached to the tanks in various ways to create places for your characters to walk around & up the towers. And then there are the greeble details like hand holds and lights. Almost 1000 incredible people have already earned this reward :D I have sent an email via MMF inviting you to redeem those files now. Remember that our loyalty system isn't consecutive, so if you unsubscribe at any time, it's not a problem. We just carry on counting your months after you re-join us, until you reach 9 in total :) Thank you so much to everyone who supports our little studio. It means the world to us and it's the only reason we can continue to make models for the PM community! Kind regards, Gem & Andy x

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for February :) Giant City Gate & Army Commander!

Hi everyone, Let's take a look at what is being released today: 1. City Gate I'm very excited to release the City Gate today! I have almost fully printed it, with just three railings left until the entire structure is finished. It is absolutely stunning and fits together like a dream :D I'm so excited to see some of you bring this to life with paint, and use it as a centrepiece for your gameboard. There are many scenarios you can use it for, and it brings excellent height to gameplay. The doors open and close by sliding into the structure. I will share photos of the fully printed gate on our social media soon, so make sure you follow us on Instagram. The structure is huge and it takes a while to print - around 12 build plates if you have a printer like the Elegoo Mars 3. It is hollowed out to use as little resin as possible. However, you can also print this on FDM too. 2. Commander 2 - Kaledon Fortis A long time ago, we released a commander for the original KF army, but he didn't have every weapon option. This expansion character adds a new pose, all the weapon options, and two new heads. You can mix and match the parts between the two kits to produce multiple commanders for the Kaledon Fortis army, which each have different roles, like a Tank Commander for example :) This is the original Commander on our store. We hope you enjoy the two releases this week. Next week will be our ATV vehicle, which I'm really looking forward to! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for February :) Pirates, aliens and scribes.

Hi everyone, Let's take a quick look at the models releasing today! 1. Code Coven This group of models includes our Code Father for the Code Splicer Cult, alongside his two minions. He comes with a scenic base. 2. Bone Scribe & Skullbots This is the final character for our Code Reaping Party, which we started releasing last year. He comes with two Skullbots - a Gunbot and a Medibot! 3. Grace Sullivan Finally, a female pirate captain for the Sump Swamps. You can download and print the plain bases used in the above render images from the new Welcome Pack, as I added our set of 20+ Plain bases last week. We hope you like the models released today :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for February. Outdoor kitchen & Dark Spire Hunters released :)

Hi everyone, It's time for the first STL drop of the month, with some adorable scatter terrain and four epic hunters! 1. Outdoor Kitchen With this kit, you can create a cooking and eating location for your gang stronghold, or the trading post market. You can set up as many awnings as you like, assemble grills, chopping stations and a communal dining table. This kit will bring a lot of life to your tabletop :) Check out the cute diorama I made with the printed pieces! The knives are small and fiddly, but it is possible to print and clean them as long as you're careful. 2. Dark Spire Hunters We have four extraordinarily beautiful bounty hunters from the wealthy, noble families! You can assemble them as a gang, or use them individually. They come with scenic bases, which has enabled us to create gorgeous, dynamic poses for them. There is two versions of Yaru, one with decorated wings and one without so you can do different metal effects easier. We hope you like the models released today! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday :) Celebrating subscribers painted models!

Hi everyone, So I won't be giving many updates today, since most of the WIP models I've already shared in the past, and we're only just starting on new projects for this month. Next week, there will be more updates on future miniatures :) Today, I just wanted to take the time to highlight some beautiful, painted models from our Discord. It's an inspiring place to be, and I'm so grateful to everyone who shares their printed and painted models - it always makes my day :D Join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 You can check out the subscriber pictures in the gallery above :) Our first release of February is coming on Monday 5th, with our Black Spire Hunters and the Outdoor Kitchen terrain, so stay tuned for that. I'll be releasing the full set of renders for those models on Monday. Oh, I also added the set of Plain Bases released in November to our Welcome Pack. I meant to do that last month and completely forgot :O So now you will have a set of every size of resin base you need to print for your minis, yay. Have an amazing weekend, everyone! Kind regards Gem

Here are some video tutorials using our models! :D

Hi everyone, Today I wanted to share some links to YouTube videos done by some very talented modellers! The exciting thing is, they all use our miniatures :D Firstly, we have Jon from the Miniature Hobbyist, who we collaborate with from time to time. He has painted up Gertrude the Race Car in his iconic comic book style. She looks so cool! Watch the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/cYl_zHx1P7s?si=3LJHn558C-zUiJ7y We also have a video from Kenneth, from Alrethian's crafts & Battles. We sent over two bundles of gang miniatures for him, printed by myself, to see what he thought of the kits. In the video he unboxes our minis and shows us a great camo technique for painting the City Watch police! Watch the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/vUFbFY_RMAI?si=0phuf4gnrmlX139b Finally, we have a video from one of our very own subscribers! Adventure Built Gaming has created an awesome painting tutorial with our Sump Sea Pirates :) He goes through each stage in his video to provide you with some great ideas. Watch the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/bGePGUb8KfE?si=HdbY_CWDRPlAf_yy I hope you enjoy this post! I thought it would be nice to share some video inspiration towards the end of the month. Next month, I will do the same thing with images from our Discord as I love to celebrate our talented subscribers :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - 4/4 for January :) The Frisco Jet Ski is here!

Hi everyone, I'm excited to release our final model for this month - the Frisco Jet Ski! This kit comes with two new weapons:

  • Automatic Crossbow
  • Harpoon They are compatible with the Quad Bike weapons, and the weapons from the Quad work here too, including the attached ammo supplies. Out Outlaw rider poses work with the Jet Ski, and the Code Splicer Cult poses (released with our Sedona Motorbikes in November) work with the jet ski too! I love this mini - it's so much fun, and will work great with the Hyperion Sump Boat & Docks terrain released last year. This concludes our January release; what a great start to 2024! Thank you so much for all your support :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for January, Part 1. It's quad bike time :D

Hi everyone, Today I'm releasing the quad bike and the Outlaw gang expansion! There is a build guide within the folder for the quad bike, and I've uploaded the Kimber bike and gang members separately, because the quad bike is also fully compatible with the Sedona Bikers release from November, meaning you can use it for your Code Splicer Cult too. Equally so, the Outlaw gang poses can be used with the Sedona motorbikes, so there is lots of cross compatibility there :) On Wednesday the Jet Ski will be released, which is compatible with all those two gangs, and also with the weapons from the quad bike kit! You can see the base model is finished and posed with a Code Splicer guy at the end of this post gallery. We're just finishing off some extra weapon options tomorrow. I hope you like today's models! See you soon :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for January - Traps and Beastmasters :)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had an excellent weekend :) Today, we have two sets of new files for you! 1. Ash Huntress - a Beastmaster Kit This kit contains a fantastic huntress for the Ash Wastes; she can act as a Beastmaster or a Bounty Hunter, or both! She also comes with three incredible Zulbatan monsters, and with those poses, you can make a cool diorama like the one we have rendered. 2. Gang Traps! This is a fun little kit of traps to add to your gang hideout to ambush unsuspecting attackers. They're pretty classic booby traps, and I think there's a lot of potential to expand on this idea if you guys like the concept :) With this first release, we have a Flamethrower wall, a Spike Trap (perfect to bury in the sand on a dirt road), and a Swinging Axe trap. We're actually going to add two extra poles to the swinging trap, which allows you to place 2 and 3 of the swinging weapons! If you have any other ideas for traps, please pop them below. NOTE: I need a little more time to perfect the supports on the gang traps, so they're coming on Wednesday. The cold weather in the UK has been causing me trouble! ++Quad Bike Preview++ The quad bike and outlaw gang are almost finished. We have one more gun option to make! You can see some test printed example pictures at the end of this post. The Jet Ski we're working on will also be fully compatible with the weapon options for the Quad Bike, as well the Outlaw gang riders, and the Code Splicer riders from November, so the quad, jet ski & gang will all be released next Monday 22nd! We're working on unique weapons for our jet ski too, and want at least a couple of pirate themed ones. We're doing a harpoon, but what do you think about a giant crossbow? :O That's it for today, folks! Keep an eye on MMF for the Gang Trap files dropping. Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for January :) Giant Cagebot, a robot prison and Esmerelda, the working psychic!

Hi everyone, This week we have two fantastic miniatures for you:- 1. Esmerelda This is our beautiful and dangerous psychic, available for hire to join your gang! She's posed floating up from the ground on a wave of her power, with a billowing torn cloak & dress for a dramatic look - I really love how she turned out :) 2. The Cagebot I'm so excited by this kit! It is a gargantuan robot prison, which you can use with your tabletop scenarios where a gang member is captured. It's possible to stand on the top and defend the rig, if the prisoner inside is one you have captured, but if you're the ones doing the freeing, be careful, because this cage can run away haha! I can just image it lumbering across the wastes with some gangers inside, kicking up dust and being chased down by Gertrude the race car from last month. The kit is also quite flexible: you can use the cage top without the robot base, if you want a stationary prison. You can also use the robot legs & platform, without the cage, to transport goods across the desert. This is a big kit - it's taken me quite a few printer runs to get through it all (and I still have two legs on the printers), but it's been hollowed out to reduce resin usage and I think it's quite efficient for its size. Also, I added dimensions on the render for people who always ask! Finally, there is a Build Guide already completed and inside the zipped Cagebot folder on MMF. That's it for this week. We hope you like the releases - let me know in the comments :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for January: Purifiers, Reapers and Warriors!

Happy New Year! Hi everyone, It's the start of 2024 and time for our first miniature release of the year :) We delayed it by a couple of days due to the bank holiday, but in your MMF Library today, you should find: 1. Purifier Gang Expansion I was really pleased to read the comments on our post last week revealing this gang expansion, because it seems many of you are fond of the Purifiers, like me :D This is a big expansion adding more heads, bodies and weapons to the base gang. They are fully compatible with the past Purifier release, visible on our MMF store here. To answer a few questions that came up in the comments - We do intend to do a Redemptionists set for this gang in the future, adding some more elaborate head options, additional weapons, and some body variations. Many of you asked if we're going to do female Purifiers - both gang releases have an equal number of female heads! We just haven't created a female body, because the heavy robes would sort of mask that difference anyway. However, we're happy to do a female body in the future, with a variation on the robed look, so she is more obviously a woman based on her body shape :) 2. Armatis Mors Captain and Psychic These two characters add to the army group we started to create last year, filling in the ranks. There is another release planned in 2024 for the Armatis Mors to finish the Combat Patrol group, and give you a complete set for tabletop battles! 3. Reaping Mistress and Skullbot This is an additional character for our Corpse Reapers to go with the two Protein Butchers we released last month. There is one additional character planned to complete the unit. We will also be doing some smaller 'service skulls' to accompany the final character. The Skullbot was meant to be a smaller 'service skull', but he was too detailed to print at a small scale. Rather than scrap the model, I just decided to scale him up and release him as a weird robot for your battlefield! The Welcome Pack I'm also working on a new Welcome Pack for 2024. Up to now, the Welcome Pack has been a sample of our different miniatures - different gang characters, various terrain types we make, etc. However, I think it might be even better to include models that can be used to play a scenario instead - where the gangs, terrain and vehicles all work together. Any ideas, pop them below!


That completes our releases and updates for today. On Monday, expect to see the Cage with Robot Legs haha - it's coming along nicely :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday 3/4 - Part 2 for December! :D Is anyone thirsty? Giant Water Tower!

Hi everyone, Today I'm releasing the files for our Wasteland Water Tower, which is finished! What do you think? :) This is a big terrain kit, with plenty of room for gang members on the walkway, and on top of the tower, so I'm hoping it can be an exciting battlefield target. A few things to mention:

  • There are solid versions of all pieces, so you can print on FDM, as well as hollowed options for resin printers
  • The water tower base and tent base are similar sizes. They are not exactly the same and they are not specifically cross compatible, but it is possible to sit the tent on top of the tower, or the water drum on top of the tent platforms because they are complementary sizes/scales.
  • The module hole on of the water drum, which currently has the opening hatch, is the same size as the shipping container module holes. That means most of the shipping container modules should fit in here :D That includes our Widow Maker turrets and Colossus gun turret too! Supports & Print Testing I'm only half way through print testing this kit. The water drum is fully tested. Due to warping, you'll need to do a little sanding on the edges where the two halves fit together, as they stretch out a bit during printing, making them a tight fit. Other than that, they came out great! The tower part of the structure has not been tested yet. They're big pieces, and it takes quite a lot of print time to get everything tested as I only have small build plates. I'm fairly confident they will be okay, so I'm releasing the files in case any of you want to start printing. If any of the supports need editing, I will have uploaded new versions by Friday, so you can always wait to download the kit until then :) FYI Friday (but on Tuesday!) I'm uploading you now on the final kit of this month, as I won't be posting on Friday :) Attached to this post, you can see the WIP of our wasteland race car! JoJo (one of our team members) is working on that kit, ready for release after Christmas, around the 27th/28th December. The drivers are all print tested and ready, so it's just the car to sort out. I'm super excited for this, which will be the first car in a series of vehicles for your tabletop! That's it for today's post. I'm not sure if I'll be speaking to you again until after Christmas, so have an amazing holiday and thank you so much for your support :D Kind regards Gem & the PM Team

Miniature Monday 3/4 - Part 1 for December! The Kaledon Fortis Elite Kill Squad are go :D

Hi everyone, This week's releases are coming in two parts, because I need a little more time to test print part of the Wasteland Water Tower. Today, please check out the finished Kaledon Fortis Elite Kill Squad!! I'm so happy with these guys :D It takes weeks of work to design & sculpt a modular team, and I think this elite squad took over 4 weeks to finish, going through many iterations and tweaks after test printing. We wanted them to be as perfect as possible :) I'll take the time now to answer some questions people might have:

  • They are a different division to the standard KF
  • The arms & bodies are cross compatible. The heads are NOT cross compatible. This is because we took the opportunity to redesign the neck connection, giving you better poseability.
  • The new Elite Squad weapons are different. We took the opportunity to redesign them, some based on more modern guns.
  • They are in the same scale as the original KF and can work together on the battlefield
  • We will continue to add to the original KF from time to time, and plan to develop the Elite Kill Squad even further in the future, so pop your ideas below. Thank you so much :) I'll be back soon with the final release before Christmas! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for December :) Tents, Butchers & Birds!

Hello, It's time for another STL release day :D Let's take a look at our new models: 1. Wasteland Tents Kit This project turned out amazing! The tents are modular, so you can choose which sides to print to detail your tents, and whether or not to add an awning structure. There is an interior with a bed & desk. We imagine these tents to form part of a Wasteland Gang Stronghold, with future releases planned to add to the base. The design of the tents would work with any gang to add living spaces to your hideout. I'm not planning to make a Build Guide as they're easy to assemble, especially if you check the renders to see where pieces go, but let me know if you think I need to make one :) 2. Roshawk Desert Flyer This creature can be found out in the desert wastelands, but would also be at home in the undercity too. We designed the bird to be a companion for the Ash Witch, who can commune with desert creatures. The Roshawk comes with its own scenic base. 3. Protein Butchers - Corpse Reapers To carry on our harvesting theme this month, there are two Butchers to walk alongside the Harvester Bot released last week! They can hook the corpses and toss them into the Harvester machine, or help the unlucky injured along with the chain glaives! There are two characters, with a less graphic option that has speared a tentacle instead of a corpse. We hope you like the releases! Let us know in the comments :) Kind regards Gem

Harvester Bot Build Guide released :)

Hi everyone, Just a quick post to let you know that I've finished the Harvester Bot build guide; sorry for the delay. Please redownload the Harvester Bot zip file, and you'll find the Build Guide for that miniature, and the Liftbot inside. That's everything you need to build our latest grimdark contraption! Also, from various comments, it seems like our subscribers enjoy the Liftbot iterations, so we'll expand on the basic design again soon - perhaps a closed cab option with some mining equipment? Let me know what you think and any other ideas you have for walker expansion kits :) Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for December :) Monsters, witches and a truly grimdark machine!

Hi everyone, It's time for our first releases of December! In your MMF library, you should now find: 1. Harvester Bot The absolutely bleak piece of machinery is perfect for any ingenious Corpse Harvesters who want a faster way to gather valuable 'protein' from the battlefield, whether it has stopped moving or not... With a grinder shovel on the front and a massive protein storage vat on the back, what more could you want? 2. Monstrosities These beefy warriors are part of our Code Splicer Cult, heavily mutated and hard hitters, they an ideal addition to your gang to really bring the muscle! It's a modular, with lots of different options for the heads, arms and poses, so you can have a lot of fun designing your fighters with this one. 3. The Ash Witch A mysterious figure, roaming the wastelands with strange powers, seemingly able to connect psychically to the terrifying beasts found in the deserts with her. Is she a witch? A spiritualist? A mad woman? Whatever she is, the Ash Witch is an excellent addition to your Erroish Tribe. Creature coming next week! Also, I'm working on a Build Guide for the Harvester Bot, so that will be out on Wednesday :) Kind regards Gem

There is a kit of Code Splicer Cult riders, including a sniper character, as well a a modular motorbike kit. Plus, we've even provided three variations of the bike in its complete form for those of you that don't want to build your own :D I have also sorted out and released the Throwback models for December, which you can see in the attached render. There is:

  • The Helhound Military Train
  • The giant Bond Breaker robot
  • The squark
  • A modular kit of Factory Workers

Sedona Bikers - Code Splicer Cult! Plus, outline for December :)

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your continuing patience regarding the bikers release. Attached to this post you can see the finished motorbike, and the gang of Code Splicers to ride them! The parts are all modular (including the bike, so you can choose what luggage to load. We can also then expand the options for the bike in the future). The Code Splicer parts are interchangeable with past CSC gang releases :) I have all the STLs with me now, so I'll be working on supporting and printing them today. That means they should be with you tomorrow. I know it'll be December then (oops!), but I'll just add them to the November group on MMF, so please don't worry about getting them. December Plans I thought I'd outline the plans for December before the end of the month. Some of these you've already seen, and others are being sculpted at the moment:

  • Corpse Butchers x2 (we have updated the chain glaive to make it better after you saw the previews)
  • Harvester Bot (finished!)
  • Lady of the Wastes (finished!)
  • Giant wasteland bird (finished!)
  • Squad of special forces Kaledon Fortis x10 (in progress)
  • Wasteland tents terrain (in progress)
  • Code Splicer Cult: heavily mutated fighters (finished!)
  • Water Tower terrain
  • Wasteland vehicle(s) Hope you like the outline for next month! Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with The Maker's Cult! Incredible Lord Jodras miniature :)

Hello from the Makers Cult! Hi, we are a Matt, Seb and Will, a three-man team creating 3D printable miniatures for tabletop gaming. We mostly focus on the theme of gothic sci-fi, and our miniatures are perfect for use as wargaming alternatives. Each month we focus on a collection of armys chosen by our wonderful patrons. Here's our release thus far for November: ++https://www.patreon.com/posts/november-2023-1-92288865++ We have a second wave of models coming in the coming days. We share with you Lord Jodras, one grimdark hero from our Tempest Legion line. The Tempest Legion are cybernetically enhanced super-warriors, although being loyalists and extremely powerful, their strength comes at the price of their mind being quite unstable. The miniature comes with 2 options for its head.

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for November :)

Hi everyone, This Monday, we have three new model sets for you to download - 1. Hyperion Boat Expansion This collection adds lots of extra functionality to the boat kit released last month, giving you a way to create a small tug boat (so cute!) and a double decker sump boat! You can see examples of those two versions in the renders attached to this post. In those renders, you will see a mix of the expansion files and the new files. You can still use this kit on it's own if you do not have the past kit, but the kit is available on our store with 60% off for the Black Friday sale, so you might as well get it ;) I'm working on a Build Guide for the expansion, so keep an eye out for that! 2. Blank Bases Collection This has been long requested, and it's a massive set of 20 plain bases, in (I think) all the necessary sizes. They also have a hollow space underneath for adding a magnet. Yay! There are some pretty massive bases in this set, and they will NOT fit on all printers. That's just the way it goes. I probably wouldn't attempt to print a 160mm base anyway, but we wanted the kit to be complete. I think the smaller bases will be the most useful :) The FDM files are completely flat on top - no texture - so you can print them face down and still retain the gap underneath for the magnets. 3. Dark Maidens This is an expansion to the Bitter Nightshades gang! Some of you were pretty mad we didn't make these characters modular. In this release, they are not modular, but we will take a look at them this week and see if we can pull off their arms & heads so you can mix and match with past Nightshades kits :P Leave it with us! And that's it for today's releases :) Next week, there will be the motorbikes and the Code Splicer Cult riders! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for November :) Dwarves, mini tanks and vendor props!

Hi everyone, It's the second Monday of the month, and time for our next wave of releases! Let's see what you've got: 1. Internal Details for Vendor Stalls If you head to your vendor stalls on MMF, you can now download a props pack for all three of our themed stalls:

  • Weapon Stop
  • Repair Shop
  • Cyber Doc Each stall has basic furniture which would allow you to kitbash in your own items, but there are also scatter pieces for each theme too. Enjoy! 2. Clan of Cladhaich - Mineral Gang After the release of our Mineral Prospector last month, we now have the full mineral hunting gang, who roam the desert wastes looking for deposits of gems and precious metals. This is a modular kit, so you can make multiple character combinations. There are also two roles within our new gang - miner and guard. They have slightly different uniforms, just to vary the look of these guys. We couldn't decide between the two designs and so we made both haha! 3. Hellion Crusher We have another addition to our adorable Hellion fleet! These automated vehicles are all modular and interchangeable, so you can mix & match many of the parts. This time, the Hellion comes with a big roller for the front and a thunder cannon weapon for the back. It also has tires instead of tracks! What else would you like to see added to our Hellion range? Black Friday Sale - 60% Off! You might have noticed that MyMiniFactory have launched their Black Friday Sale today. As a special offer for subscribers, we are providing a 60% off discount code :D You can access the new code here. Happy shopping! Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with Oshouna Minis! Check out this cool NeuroShrimp :D

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to announce a collaboration with Oshouna Minis today. As you guys might already know, I love insects! It's why I've enjoyed creating our Idolonids so much, and I used to own stick insects too (Macleays Spectre for anyone interested). I just think insects are fascinating and actually kind of beautiful sometimes :) Anyway, that's one of the reasons I reached out to this awesome creator, because the insect/ crustaceans they release are just so amazing! Today, Moïse has shared one of their NeuroShrimps with us and I'm looking forward to getting it on the printer :) Kind regards , Gem Now, let's here directly from them > Hello there! I'm Moïse from Oshounaminis. I'm sculpting Wargames/RPG models for my Patreon and Tribes every month with OPR compatibility in mind. The Model I'm sharing with you is the « Deep Hive - NeuroShrimp », I hope you'll enjoy it! The Deep Hive is the main army I'm working on, but I'm also working on the Doomed Empire and have plans for other armies in the future . In addition to the miniatures I release monthly, newcomers receive a welcome pack including a sample of my armies. Every model is delivered through MyMiniFactory and comes pre-supported.

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for November :) Stalls, sergeants, psychics and aliens!!

Hi everyone, It's time for another Miniature Monday, the first one for November! Let's go over the releases for today: 1. Army Psychic This is a new character for our Kaledon Fortis army, a powerful psychich ready to battle evil and protect her fellow soldiers. 2. Sergeant Eric This is fun off-duty sergeant to add an NPC to your tabletops. He is also a new character for the Kaledon Fortis army. 3. Market Vendor Stalls x3 The structure of these stalls is finished and releasing today, with the interior details coming out soon. We decided to take a couple of extra days so we could make more items for the inside. These units will be ideal to add to any market place and you can stock them with your own items, or use our scatter when it is release. The door and window can be added or remove to allow access to the shop, and the roofs lift off to see inside. 4. Spurgants - Idolonid alien army These are a new addition to our line of Idolonids! They are bigger and stronger than the standard Volgant army, carrying huge biocannon weapons. They are assisted (or controlled!) by a massive parasite clinging to their back. The kit includes three warriors, one warrior crouching due to an injury, and one dead warrior to add a little carnage to your tabletop! Happy printing everyone :) We hope you like today's models! Kind regards Gem

Hi everyone, As part of our Lychee Ambassador status, I'm able to provide a fantastic 10% offer on their annual subscription for Lychee Slicer Pro - Resin :D A few of you were asking in the Discord if we're able to provide a discount code now, and so I just asked them!

A Cross Promotion with Vertical Scenics :)

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to be collaborating with Vertical Scenics for a model swap! They create awesome grimdark scenery, like we do, and have a Police State theme this month. Iain has been kind enough to share their Police Boat with us, which is printable on FDM, as a companion for our Hyperion vessel. They make the perfect pair! You can now download that miniature for your MMF library :) Vertical Scenics also recently launched their Tribe, after running a series of successful crowd funders, so make sure you check that out if you're interested. Now let's hear directly from Vertical Scenics: "Hello everyone, I’m so happy to be teaming up with Print Minis, a subscription I’ve admired from their launch, to bring you a taste of our new MyMiniFactory Tribes membership in the form of the police patrol boat, which should work perfectly alongside your docks from this month’s offerings. Over at Vertical Scenics, as our name suggests, we focus on the verticality of your gaming tables, bringing you Cyberpunk and Sci-Fi scenery that looks at how you can take your games to the next level, literally. In our recent Kickstarter, we launched a range of habitation facilities that securely stack on top of each other and that have removable walls so you can access their internals during play. You can check out the late pledge here, and even secure October for free in our Tribe by backing: www.myminifactory.com/campaigns/habfacs-stackable-collapsible-cyberpunk-scenery-2148 And in our Tribe we look to expand our current ranges, while adding flavour (and cover) to your futuristic battlefields, and if you sign up before the end of the year you can lock in the limited earlybird price of $2.99! www.myminifactory.com/users/Vertical.Scenics Our Tribe’s offerings are very much led by the fans and followers and you can get your say in on what you’d like to see through our social channels on Discord or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/verttabletop/ https://discord.gg/yvd3aHDjYc I hope you enjoy the patrol boat and look forward to seeing you over there! Catch you on the up’n’up, Iain

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for October :) The Hyperion - Sump Boat

Hi everyone, The final release for October is here and it's The Hyperion - our Sump Boat to finish off the Docks theme we've focused on for this month :) The Hyperion is modular, so you can build it with more or less sections, and it has some interior options with an expansion pack possible for the future if people would like that. There are nice smooth surfaces to give you plenty of space to add weathering detail to make this an old rusted pirate ship, or you can keep it as a sleek looking military patrol boat. I'm working on a Build Guide for the Hyperion at the moment, which will be released very soon. However, it's simple to print and put together, so just print one of each part while you wait. We hope you like the boat! Let us know your thoughts in the comments :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for October - Prospectors, Pirates, Aliens, and a helpful Liftbot!

Hi everyone, I'm excited to go through our models with you today! The Sump Pirates were finished on Saturday, but I figured it made more sense to release them today to avoid too many posts in your inbox. Let's take a look at them first: 1. Sump Pirates This is a modular kit of grimdark pirates which exist on the Sump Swamps below the dense cities, hunting monsters. They especially value the Sump Spiders released last week, even though it's hard to take 'em down! This is a large kit, with lots of different options so you can make a varied Outcasts gang. 2. Lachlan - Mineral Prospector This is the first release from our new range of space dwarves! Our settlement is for the Clan of Cladhaich, dominating in the desert wastes where they mine precious metals and gems. Lachlan is a Prospector, so he hunts out new sites with his trusty sidekick robot, reporting back to the homestead when he has a find. 3. Liftbot - Unloading Robot This is another addition to our Docks theme, although it could work standalone too. It's a fun and simple walker robot that functions as a forklift! There is a build guide included with the files, although it's not complex to build. 4. Belomantis - Idolonids Another release for our line of Idolonid aliens, the mighty Belomantis! This terrifying creature is attracted to psychic energy. I've included alternative renders for this character, carrying on developing a new style we've been playing around with, where different armies/ factions have different colours to help you differentiate them. We're looking into army logos too, so I'll keep you in the loop on all of that :) 5. Ogre Heads for kitbashing This was a subscriber request that I thought more people would enjoy. All the ogre heads from previous releases have been removed and provided separately so you can kitbash them onto other models - just scale them to your preferred size. That's everything for this Monday. Next week, we have the biggest release of the month, a huge Sump Ship! See a preview at the end of this post's gallery - it has a simple interior too, and can be built in different configurations ;) Kind regards Gem

Comic Book Painting Technique on our Centurion robots!

Hi everyone, Quick note: the Sump Sea pirates will be out tomorrow or Friday. So sorry for the delay! We had some fixes to do, and then I had to reprint them. For today's post, I just want to highlight this epic video by our monthly video partner, Jon of the Miniature Hobbyist! This week he tried out a painting technique that I've been seeing crop up online quite a bit, and that is the cell shading/ comic book style. It looks like a lot of fun and brings some impact to the tabletop. I hadn't watched a tutorial on it before, so it was fantastic to see how easy it can be! Jon does make things look easy of course haha, but I think I'll give this a go! Just got to buy a Sharpie now :) Give the video a watch, if you're interested in the technique. Jon used one of our older models, and still one of my favourites - our chunky robot crew, the Centurions available MMF here. As a subscriber, remember you get 50% off ;) That's all for today's post! Enjoy! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for October :) Spiders, mini tanks, and docks scatter.

Hi everyone, Let's take a look at this week's releases! The Sump Pirates are a little delayed, and will be out on Wednesday - sorry about that. Sump Spider To kick things off, we have a spooky miniature for October! A giant Sump Spider for the pirates to hunt on the undercity swamps, or a terrifying beast to fight in the desert wastes - however you want to use him! The print turned out epic, see the end of the gallery of pictures, so I think this will be a fun one to paint :) There is a big version, and a small version mirrored so you can print a group. Hellion with Hauling Trailer We have another adorable Hellion installation this month - this brand new automated tank can now be used to haul goods remotely! You can see various examples in the renders - one with multiple trailers connected, one with goods, and one hauling a large fuel tank. It's kind of like a tiny land train now :D Docks Accessories This kit adds a few scatter accessories to the docks. There are versions which you can use without the Docks kit, and versions that connect to the docks, for example, we have the bench with a base, or with a module connectors to add to a platform instead. You can see how the accessories can be used with the Docks terrain on the renders. On Wednesday, we'll release the Sump Pirates so stay tuned for more miniature goodness very soon :) Thank you so much! Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday! Subscriber celebration, painting the Daedalus Ork style & some WIP!

Hi everyone, It's the end of another week, and it's time to look at some WIP pictures for October. I'd also like to celebrate the creativity of our subscribers in Discord by sharing their pictures too :) You can join our Discord community here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Firstly though, I'd like to show off Jon's latest creation from the YouTube channel Miniature Hobbyist. We've partnered with Jon to bring our miniatures and terrain to life each month, giving you some practical tips to follow and some inspiration for your own dioramas :D Please support his channel by subscribing and watching the latest video, if you can. He has turned the Daedalus Speeder into an Ork DeLorean haha!! You can watch the video here:https://youtu.be/gPVYJk7DJlM?si=A9_FhOCWola-ZC33 After the pictures of his finished Orktastic model, you can see a series of prints and painted models from our subscribers! Some examples of prints on FDM and resin, huge tabletop scenes in progress, as well as some kitbashing. Plus, a few gorgeous paint jobs on our characters :) Finally, at the end of the gallery, you'll see a rough WIP sketch for our first Space Dwarf character, and some finished Sump Pirates, which I'll be supporting and print testing this weekend. The parts are compatible with the Outcasts gang. We hope you like what you see! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Tuesday! 1/4 release for October :) Docks & mutants!

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to release the first models for October today. Let's look at what you get: 1. Mutated Acolytes I previewed this kit on Friday. The mutated alien gang adds to our existing Code Splicer Cult releases, fleshing out the army with some four-armed fighters! Previously, we have released the Devotee Squad, our Psychic, and the Earthshaker Truck, all found on our My Mini Factory store. 2. Bridges & Docks Kit This terrain kit turned out really versatile. You can make platforms, walkways, bridges and a dockside with it! We have designed the pieces to make a dock alongside your Risor District tabletop, sinking the pillars into a water effect to create a new environment to play in. We'll be adding to this terrain collection, and also to the Sump Swamp theme with more releases in October. Expect a grimdark pirate gang as well as a huge junk barge. Plus, there might be a giant spider making an appearance! There are two additional Wall sections to add to the base Risor District kit released with this kit. You will also find a detailed Build Guide in the folder :) Throwback Pack This is going to be the last month we release a Throwback Pack. Going forwards, we'll be promoting our complete set of Loyalty Rewards to new subscribers instead (Andy will finish them this month!). It's fairer overall to those of you who were subscribed to receive the throwback models, or who have bought them on the store. For a final throwback, there are some hotly requested models, such as the Iron Spikes Gang (not in 28mm heroic scale, just to point that out) and the Kodiak Shuttle with interior detail! Oh and I included the Delfoxes for some cuteness :D The next release will happen as normal on Monday 9th October. Thank you so much for your support :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday post - let's talk about October!

Hi everyone, It's Friday and time to catch up on what's happening at the Print Minis HQ :) All our amazing sculptors are hard at work on releases for October. Tuesday 3rd Oct releases: 1. Mutated Acolytes The first release of October will see a set of modular Mutated Acolytes for our Code Splicer Cult! Martina had so munch fun with this mutated version of our CSC gang, especially posing with four arms which was pretty crazy to do haha! They're all test printed and ready to release. There is a 'pouch' to fill an arm slot if you don't want to use four arms, but I'm going to be honest, I instantly lost it after the pouch came off the supports! So be extra careful with that tiny piece, or maybe just use four arms... :P 2. Bridges & Platforms Kit This is a cool kit that Pedram has been working hard on for the last two weeks. It is a kit that works with our Risor District walls, but also works standalone on support pillars. You can use the pieces to create a platform with bridges, but you can also create a dock for the Sump Swamp. Just run the platforms alongside your Risor walls like a dockside, and add a water effect to your diorama. There is a Gate option for the end of a pier, which will have modular accessories to add (in the WIP images, you can see a solar panel). After the release of this kit on Monday, we will do a Dock Accessories kit with waterside specific pieces, such as docking posts for boats, and a little forklift perhaps for unloading goods, some general crate scatter etc. We'll see how it turns out! You can see the bridge flexibility and the WIP gate in the images attached. Other October Previews As I mentioned before, we're working on a boat kit, but that will be released towards the end of the month. To go with the boats, there is a pirate crew! Last time when I mentioned them, I wasn't sure if they would be compatible with the previous Outlaws kit, but it's looking like they will be :D So now you can make some pirate outcasts! I've attached a variety of shots showing the different modular parts and some assembled poses. This kit should be finished mid-October :) It will be provided as legs, heads, arms and torsos. Annual Membership The last update for this month is that we're hoping to implement Annual Memberships next month on Patreon. I was waiting for Andy to finish the 9 and 12 month loyalty rewards, because it felt like good timing to launch the 12 month package alongside all 4 rewards, which you would get instantly. However, Andy is working on them on and off, but isn't in the creative space to really do them justice right now. You might have noticed we've been expanding our team over the last 6 months (especially with Pedram doing terrain and JoJo doing vehicles), because Andy suffered massive burnout this year, and just can't sculpt at his previous capacity anymore. He's recovering, but he's making models at his own pace for the moment :) Huge apologies for the delay on the Loyalty Rewards being finished! Anyway, tangent aside, I think I'm just going to offer the 12 month membership anyway. It will save people 10% and could be a great Christmas gift for loved ones :) Keep an eye out for that announcement. That's it for updates! Have a great weekend, everyone :) Kind regards Gem

Daedalus Speeder released with Build Guide :)

Hi everyone, Thanks for your patience with this release! It took a little longer because we wanted to retest a few pieces to improve the fit after test printing, and I also wanted to finish the Build Guide before releasing. Both of those things are now done! In your MMF Library, you will find the Daedalus STLs alongside a Build Guide, so you can start printing straight away. There are two Armatis Mors drivers included with the kit, but you could use your own models to drive this vehicle if you want :) It could work as a higher tech options for the Enforcers or Code Splicers to drive out in the Ash Wastes, for example. Anyway, whatever you use this badass vehicle for, it's now available to download and get printing :D We hope you like it! There are no more models to release this month so on Friday, I will preview the first October release, which you can expect on Tuesday 3rd. We usually do releases on a Monday, but Tribes and Patreon need 48 hours to process the monthly payments, so it's best to release new STLs after that. I'm really excited for next month! Thank you so much for all your support during September :) Kind regards Gem

The Colossus As You've Never Seen It! New terrain video :D

Hi everyone, Just a quick reminder that Miniature Monday is delayed while we finalise the test printing of our Deadalus Speeder! The final files are supported and will be hitting the printers tonight, so if we don't need any fit changes making, we'll release it tomorrow :D For today, I'd like to share with you the latest terrain video by The Miniature Hobbyist over on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-4mD4HDJQ As I mentioned before, we're partnering with Jon to utilise our terrain and miniatures in different diorama projects, so you can see them brought to life and get some inspiration for what you want to work on next :) This week, he focused on The Colossus and has created the most battered, weathered version I've ever seen!! I especially love the bullet effects all over the sides. If you'd like to know how he did this, make sure to show some support and check out the video :) Thank you so much, and speak to you soon! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Post - What's happening in October?

Hi everyone, It's Friday again and time to see what's coming up in the next few weeks! :) First of all, we have one final release for Miniature Monday and it's an epic one - the Daedalus, a flying car for our Armatis Mors! Can you tell what vehicle we used as inspiration? ;) I love how this model turned out, designed and sculpted by the very talented JoJo (@filamentio) who is part of our team. It's just so cool looking in my opinion, and I love those optional gull-wing doors! :D This model is almost finished, but there's still the interior to sculpt. Miniature Monday might therefore be delayed to Tuesday 26th Sept; just keep an eye out. ++October's plan: WIP images++ Things can always change a little with our model plans, but we do have some fun things in the works already! - Mutated Code Splicer Cult: this is an expansion for our Splicer line, adding a more mutated set of gang members. We listened to feedback and these characters have modular arms! Give them as many arms as you like from. You can see the t-posed figure in the images attached to this post.

  • Giant Idolonid: as we continue this alien army, we will be introducing an absolutely massive foe next month, with a gaping maw and the ability to eat your soldiers whole!! Check out the very early WIP image.
  • Pirate Gang: to go with our Sump Captain, we will have a Sump Crew coming out next month! They will be wielding the same weapons as our Outlaws (although the parts are not cross-compatible), so you can use them as an outcasts gang. Face preview of one crew member included, rest are still WIP. ++October's plan: Ideas++ As for the other models you can expect to receive next month, we have some exciting things on the list; - Sump Airboats! We'd like to create a grimdark, junky airboat for use on the swamps below Stack City, and ideally it will be modular so you can create a few different versions. - Docks Kit: terrain to add a dockyard to the Risor District, so your Sump boats have somewhere to moor - Space dwarves: we'll be introducing the first character from a new gang we're working on, Space Dwarves! No name for them yet, so suggestions are welcome :) We hope you like what you hear! Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with OnePageRules! Incredible Rune Master STLs :D

Hi everyone, We're very excited to be working with One Page Rules today, who have provided one of their sci-fi miniatures for you to check out, the Rune Master! My favourite thing about this model is the little companion he comes with - so adorable :) The detail is also wonderful and there are a couple of versions of the sculpt. The model has been added to your MMF Library as part of our cross-promotion. Follow the links below to see the full fantasy and sci-fi collection available from OPR this month - they have a full set of models from the Dwarf Guilds line! Now let's here directly from the team at OPR: OPR is here to make the most breath-taking miniatures and most accessible tabletop games in the world. Our team of professional sculptors and artists at OPR create hundreds of miniatures every year.

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for September :) Scouts, Leapers, and Trash!

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to release this week's files to you - I think it's my favourite set so far :D We have: 1. Armatis Mors Scouts x6 Six different poses, using modular parts so you can mix & match with the heads, arms and backpacks from our other Armatis Mors releases. We wanted this squad to be massive, beefy boy ready to take on the Idolonid threat, even without their power suits! What do you think? :) 2. Idolonids - Heldosa Leapers x3 These are my favourite alien scum so far! Their long slicing blades and dynamic poses turned out very cool. Also, some Cthulhu tentacles for good measure ;) Add these to the other two Idolonid releases to build out your Combat Patrol Unit. More to come next month! 3. Trash Piles x6 I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I'm so happy with them. We used junk gathered from across the last year of releases on Print Minis. Do you recognise any of the pieces? We piled them up in different ways, with (I think) no repeated items across each objective, and then added cans, bottles and dirt. The dirt is fairly low texture, so you can add a little basing material of your own, depending on what location you use the piles in (metal city, desert, even water). Finally, each pile has a different amount of weathering to show that the junk heaps have been decaying in your city for different lengths of time :) 4. Hellion Upgrade Pack 1 This kit turns the Hellion into a Defence Vehicle, adding gun turret options and a plow! They are compatible with the original base release and have been added to that folder. There is one more Upgrade Pack for the Hellion, coming out next Monday. That completes our Monday 18th release. We really hope you like everything :) Let us know what you think in the comments! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a great week! Let's see what's in store for Print Minis next week, and the week after. Firstly, on Monday, we have the Armatis Mors Scouts completed! These chunky boys are ready for battle and turned out really cool. Check out the printed pictures attached. We also have a set of six Junk Piles to scatter around your table top or use as objectives. I've already print-tested two of them, images attached, with four more almost ready for the printers tomorrow. I think these will be a lot of fun to paint and weather :D We also have a new type of Idolonid to release. I test-printed one of the three poses - pictures attached to this post - and we're going to make two small tweaks before I finalise the models. The giant blade claws need to be BIGGER haha, and we'll shrink the thickest tentacle around the mouth. Super happy with how this alien turned out though! Then finally, another version of the Hellion with weapons this time. For the following Monday, we have extra terrain, and we're part way through creating a Speeder Vehicle for the Armatis Mors. JoJo (the sculptor) took inspiration for a DeLorean, and will give the vehicle an option of gull-wing doors, as well as a more 'normal' alternative. This vehicle is pretty early WIP, but will be finished for Monday 25th :D Let us know what you think in the comments! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday 2/4 for Sept! Wyld Nightshades, Sump Galore and Demolition Time, Baby!

Hi everyone, What a fun release we have for you today! Let's take a look: 1. Bitter Nightshades, Wyld Girls An expansion to the Bitter Nightshades gang which adds a set of four ladies wielding whips and bows! The modular parts are cross compatible with previous Nightshade gangs. 2. The Hellion, Demolitions Vehicle This mini demolitions vehicle belongs to the Kaledon Fortis army, and is perfect to send into any location that you want to blow up! It works remotely and can drive over almost any terrain. 3. Thaddeus Cain, Sump Captain We promised some sea themed releases and we start with a Pirate Captain. Thaddeus Cain at your service, ready to hunt some spiders and other monstrous sea creatures! 4. Umbraling - Sump Monster A worthy monster for Captain Cain to pursue, the elusive and deadly Umbraling! The bony plates on its back are hard as diamonds and worth a pretty penny on the black market of the undercity. 5. Standalone Crane Base This is a small expansion to the Industrial Crane kit, for those of you that do not own the Risor District terrain. Now, instead of placing it on a Column, you can add it to this Standalone Base instead! There is a scaffolding version, and one with an archway. The archway matches the size of those in the Risor District, and so past & future details will be compatible. We hope you like the new models added to your collection! Let us know in the comments what you think :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for September :) Cranes, psychics and messiahs!

Hi everyone, It's time for the first release of September, and we have an epic start to the month! Firstly, you should now have access to the new edition of the Welcome Pack, as well as all our Throwback Models. Check your MMF Library for those, or look for a redeem invitation in your emails. The new miniatures for today, are: 1. Industrial Crane This absolutely stunning model is fully compatible with the Risor District terrain kits. It has a column topper as part of the platform, and so you can simply slot it into your scene. We're working on a standalone base, if case you do not want to purchase the Risor Columns from our store, using your 50% off subscriber discount ;) It works just fine without an extra base when added to your tabletop. There are two options for the crane - one with a Hook and one with a Claw. Why not print both?! I haven't done a Build Guide as assembly should be fairly simple, but let me know if you're confused and if enough people reach out, I will do a guide - no problem at all. 2. Marina, Psychic for the Code Splicer Cult We featured our first release for this new gang last month. The main group is available here on our store. This psychic can also operate as a Leader for the group, so she's a must have for your games. There are two versions of her - one with 4 arms, and one with 2 arms. 3. The Bone Messiah This colourful character is leading a revolution in Stack City, and has the masses hanging on his every word. He is associated with the Purifier Gang, but can also work independently too, bringing your gang a much needed boost of faith in these bleak times. That's it for today! The next release will be on Monday 11th September, so make sure you get these models on your printers before then. If you have any issues accessing the files, which are available right now, just message me and I will sort things out for you :) Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday - 4/4 for August :) Tiles and chimneys!

Hi everyone, Today is the final set of releases for August! Tomorrow, I'll do a round up post showing everything released, but for now, let's take a look at the two final terrain kits for this month: 1. Industrial Chimney I absolutely love this miniature - it's a huge Industrial Chimney for your gameboards! It has a Column topper specifically adapted to it, so you can use the Chimney with one of the Columns released this month, or us it on it's own with your existing tabletop terrain :) It prints in three parts and then can be stacked together at the end! 2. Concrete Floor Tiles - Risor District This set of four shapes allows you to build the walls and columns in whatever arrangement you want! It is designed to work with the Risor District kit released last month. Check out the renders to see all of the arrangements possible with this small set! Next month, we will release a different flooring texture, so drop your ideas in the comments below. These two releases have now been added to your My Mini Factory Library. Happy printing! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! See the Risor District come to life in this epic terrain video :D

Hello everyone, To start off this post, I'm so excited to share Jon's latest terrain video, from the Miniature Hobbyist channel on YouTube! We've partnered with Jon for a series of videos showing you how to turn our terrain into a diorama gameboard, and this latest instalment is incredible :) Make sure you check out the video to support our collaboration, and get some great inspiration for how to use our miniatures. Risor District tutorial: https://youtu.be/7WDqIT4c6rg?si=qtUTkn3hBTh2l1oG This Friday is the last post of August, so I'll be outlining our plans for September in today's catch up post too. However, there is one final miniature release for August coming on Monday 28th. Let's take a look at one of the models coming out, which you haven't seen yet. Behold, the Chimney! This will work on it's own, but is also designed to work with The Risor District. There will also be the release of our modular Flooring for the Risor District (or your own gameboard) :) Future Model WIP Images In the images attached to this post, you can see a new character coming out for the Code Splicer Cult in the near future - she's for September or October. I'm not certain yet, so that will be a fun surprise when she lands! There is a 2 armed and a 4 armed version of her :) There's also a very early WIP for the next Idolonid instalment coming in September. The head is blocked out, but hasn't had a detail pass yet. Future Model Ideas for (hopefully) September We also have amazing sculptors working on these models at the moment, so they'll hopefully come out in September, or possibly some in October if the design process runs late.

  • Kaldeon Fortis off-duty soldier/ bounty hunter type
  • Bog Monster (more reptilian than spidery - but we'll probably do spiders in the near future)
  • Skiffs/ Boats for the City Swamp
  • Small(ish) Crane (a simpler kit than our Heavy Lift Crane for the Colossus)
  • Larger water tank (crane can sit on top, or it works standalone)
  • Armatis Mors Scout Team
  • Flying/ Hover vehicle
  • Kaledon Fortis Elite squad x10 Anyway, we hope you like these ideas :) Please let us know your thoughts and other inspiration in the comments! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for August. Two sides face each other: Armatis Mors vs Idolonids!

Hi everyone, We have another fun release for you this week :D Let's take a look at what's now available for you to download and print: 1. Armatis Mors - Incidus Squad This is an expansion of our Calidus Squad from last month, with more cross-compatible parts! This set features a whole selection of new pose options and new weapons for your space warriors :) Print and build them as their own unique squad, or combine them with last month's release to start building an army! 2. Idolonids - Volgant Infantry Last month, we saw our huge Winged Prime released. Now, you have some infantry for him to lead into battle with a swarm of Volgants ready to print. They come with five unique weapon options, so you can really decimate the enemy in grotesque ways! I love these horrifying, organic weapon designs. Let us know what you think of the latest release :) There's one more set of STLs to be revealed next Monday to round out an epic August. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Aliens & terrain, plus preview of WIP for next month too :D

Hi everyone, Some quick updates for you today :) Firstly, let's take a look at previews for this month. First up, we have the Idolonid Infantry for our Winged Alpha to lead into battle! They come equipped with an awesome selection of gruesome weapons. They will be coming out on Monday! Name TBC. There's also a new squad of our Armatis Mors, some bolt boys, to add to your flame throwing team from last month. Modular parts from both kits will be cross-compatible :) For our last Monday release in August, we're working on a set of flooring for the Risor District. Andy ran the first FDM test print yesterday to test the fit and detail. The photo is WIP, with Andy's first attempt at a concrete texture, but hopefully it should show you the concept. With a mixture of wall tile shapes, and our standard column tile shape, you will be able to create a unique set of flooring that allows you to clip walls & columns into place in whatever arrangement you want! Next Month We've had some great requests in our Discord for how to expand on the Armatis Mors warriors. We're looking into doing jet packs, and next month, we'll be releasing a set of beefy scouts! You can see the WIP screenshot of that character attached to this post :) Finally, you saw the sketch from Martina this month for our Bone Messiah - well, here he is in the flesh, so to speak ;) We hope you like him!


That's it for previews, except to say that I've been working on some tutorials published to our MMF Stories which I'll be sharing with you in the near future :) Have an amazing weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for August. Earthshaker Truck, Lighting & Risor Expansion :)

Hi everyone, It's another fun Monday for STL releases! Let's take a look at what you can now download, fully pre-supported, from your My Mini Factory Library: 1. Earthshaker Truck This superb modular kit is a vehicle designed for the Code Splicer Cult. There are even two crew members posed manning the guns! However, it is also compatible with the Kaledon Fortis, and will likely work for many of your own gangs in the wasteland too :D There is a detailed build guide on how to put together the kit with the download, so make sure you give that a read too. 2. Lighting Kit This is a good kit to add some extra interest to your tabletop terrain. You can add it to the Risor District, if you're printing and using our terrain kit, or add it into your existing battlefield. We haven't added spaces for LEDs - we weren't sure what was the most commonly preferred way to do that, but the lights are chunky, leaving plenty of space for kitbashing some inside :) 3. Columns Expansion These columns are compatible with the Risor District terrain release last month, and expand the available column options. They also fix the issue of not being flush to the walls by around 1.5mm! And we have optimised their design even further to save resin on the columns and the three new topper designs after further testing this month! Have fun with the new releases and stay tuned for some Idolonid infantry & more next week! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday: Time for some updates :) Lights, Truck, Action!

Hi everyone, It's been a fun start to the month with a burst of new characters for Stack City! Plus, the start of our scenery kit upgrades for the Risor District with our Railings Kit :) So what have we got for you across the rest of this month? Monday will see an expansion for Risor with the Columns Bundle. The current column has a 2mm gap between its position and the wall, which we have fixed in this latest update :) In doing so, we've provided three new options! A render is attached to this post. We'll also be releasing a Lighting Kit for use as standalone scatter terrain, or as an addition to your Risor District build. There is a screenshot attached to show some options in this fun collection! If you don't have the Risor District and would like it, you can buy it here with your 50% subscriber discount: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-risor-district-terrain-kit-315477 ;) The most exciting up and coming release is the Earthshaker Truck! It's for the Code Splicer Cult, but will also work with the Kaledon Fortis soldiers too. This chunky boy is built in such a way that it can be upgraded with alternative modular sections in the future, like our Mimas kits. Code Splicer poses will be released later this month for firing the guns. Finally, this is a preview for next month, but Martina has been working on a new character for Stack City - the Bone Messiah! Check out the concept sketch and let us know your thoughts :) Thank you so much! Have an amazing weekend :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! Code Splicers, Chem Dealers & Railings :D

Hi everyone, Today we're releasing the first miniatures of August and it's an awesome set! 1. Elodie - Chem Dealer First off, we have our Fallen Noble, selling chems in the undercity. There are two versions of her - one with a dieselpunk mask and one with a plague doctor mask. Print the version you prefer :) 2. Code Splicer Cult The first release in our range of Code Splicers! These alien sympathisers are a ruthless gang, and the perfect addition to your undercity. 3. Railings Kit This scenery kit is compatible with the Risor District release from last month, allowing you to now add railings to your stronghold. However, they also work as a standalone release, so you can add them to any of your tabletop set ups! We hope you like the models, and can't wait to share more with you across August :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday post! Inspiration from the Print Minis Discord, and WIP previews :)

Hi everyone, It's another Friday and time for a catch up post :) I wanted to start today by looking at some inspiration from our Discord, which you can join here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 We have some amazing subscribers who share their printed and painted terrain & minis in our Discord, and it's always an incredible inspiration to see them. Check out the pictures attached to this post for a creative boost :D WIP August Miniatures 1 - Also attached to this post are some WIP shots of the Railings kit, which is being released on Monday 7th. Those are the first 6 railings we created, with the rest to be revealed next week ;) 2 - You can see our Idolonid infantry model! We have some awesome organic weapons for these alien soldiers, which are releasing this month to support the Winged Alpha from July. 3 - Plus, you can see the WIP of our Splicer Gang vehicle, yet to be named! It's a huge industrial beast with lots of modular options :D So here are lots of fun things in progress for August; it's going to be an exciting month! Have an amazing weekend, Kind regards Gem

Throwback Miniatures released :) Space ships, pioneers and alien creatures!

Hi everyone, Thanks to those of you that added requests to the past about August's Throwback Pack. Many people requested items from the Casino set, the Night Market set and the Space Pirates set, but those models have all been featured before over the last year. So, I picked popular suggestions that have not yet been a throwback model! - Raider Void Fighter Kit: this set is insane and one of the most beautiful miniatures Andy has ever created :) It's a huge kit with a lot of flexibility in how you design your spacecraft. Every piece is lovingly detailed too. - Space Pioneers: these are from our second month as a Patreon and sculpted by Martina. She did such a great job capturing the different roles of a pioneer colony exploring outer space. Every character is full of personality. - Pugmander: this model was made by Ilaria, who is a master at designing alien creatures! I love this little dude :D - Dendroformes: another models from Ilaria, taking inspiration from a shark! We hope you enjoy these Throwback minis. You will find them in your MMF Library as separate items; they are not uploaded as one large pack. If you have issues accessing anything, just let me know :) Kind regards Gem

July's Risor District Terrain Kit is released! Sorry for the delay :)

Hi everyone, Just a quick note that the Risor District Terrain Kit from July has now been released! If you were subscribed last month, you can find it in your MMF Library, along with a detailed Build Guide on how to use it. The kit has been pre-supported and thoroughly print tested, so you can get printing and building as soon as you download it! There is cross compatibility with this kit and the Widow Maker gun platforms too. On Monday, we will be releasing a Railings Kit, which is an expansion to the Risor District terrain set. However, it does also work on it's own too :) If you are new to us this month, and you would like to get this epic terrain kit, you can do so by purchasing it from our MMF store using your 50% off discount code. Risor District Kit: here July Collection: here Subscriber discount code: here Later on today, I will be releasing the Throwback Pack for August, so keep an eye out for that! Kind regards Gem

Throwback Pack - Suggestions for August!

Hi everyone, In our Discord, someone asked if there was a formular to choosing the throwback models each month, and there actually isn't. I just pick models that I like and that I think other people would enjoy too, generally mixing terrain, vehicles/robots, and characters. In response, someone requested the Helgast robots. That made me realise I should ask our community for ideas on what you'd like to see in the Throwback Pack :) So, please add a comment to this post (or a link to the item on our MMF store) with your suggestion for a throwback model in August. If you agree with someone's suggestion, give the post a heart so I can see which ideas are the most popular. I'll share the winning Throwback models with you on the 3rd August! Our first new STL release for August will be on Monday 7th :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - Risor District Kit! Plus, July monthly summary :)

Hi everyone The final release for this month is a scenery kit for the Risor District of Stack City. The pre-supported files and a Build Guide will be uploaded soon :) It's designed so that you don't need the Shipping Containers to create height, like our previous Stack City terrain kit. The set enables you to make a basic gang base, or the surrounds for an industrial zone, and add platforms. In August, we'll be releasing multiple smaller scenery kits which work with Risor, but also work on their own too. As I mentioned last week, the first one will be a Railings Kit. What others would you like to see? We thought Lighting would a fun one too. Let us know your ideas in the comments! In September, we'll start focusing on a Swamp theme, which will be a lot of fun :) July Miniatures Recap! To summarise what you received this month, we've put together a list and have attached the collection renders to this post:

  • Sanctifier Walker Bots x6
  • Purifier Gang riders x6
  • Fanatic Ambler
  • Kaldeon Fortis Injured Troops x8
  • Phobos Tank guns expansion (with turret included)
  • Nemesis - War Zybot
  • Idolonid Alpha
  • Armatis Mors - Calidus Squad x8
  • Widow Maker Gun Platforms
  • Risor District Scenery Kit Thank you so much for your support this month - it means the world to us :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - Catch Up, Widow Maker release, and next month :)

Hi everyone, It's the end of another week and time for another catch up :) July has flown so fast! Firstly, the Widow Maker guns have been released, so you can now download those, along with a Build Guide, from your MMF Library. We hope you enjoy them! We have one final terrain release for this month, which is coming out on Monday 31st July, so stay tuned for that one. It's been print tested over the weekend. ++Next Month:++ Monday 7th August will see the release of our Splicer Cult (name pending), which you can see a screenshot of attached to this post. After the poll earlier in the month, we stuck with the industrial looking armour. We will also be releasing our Fallen Noble turned Chem Dealer, Elodie! After the results of another poll, she now comes with two versions :) I really love how she turned out! After that, we have the following models in the works so far:

  • Splicer Cult vehicle for traversing the wastes
  • Scatter sets: we'd like to do a series of smaller scatter sets for you to make dioramas with, starting with a Lighting Pack, and also a Railings Pack. If you have other suggestions for themed scatter sets, let us know in the comments!
  • Armatis Mors pt2
  • Idolonid swarm - the alien foot soldiers
  • Some cool releases for the Kaledon Fortis (TBC - it depends how long sculpting takes). We have some elite soldiers in the works and a new tank too. Ideas for September: We love the new undercity theme of a swamp and adding boats! What do you think to creating a Bog Monster, and perhaps some Junk Rafts for Stack City? :) Thank you! Have an amazing weekend! Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with Tesseract Tomb! Land Defense Cannon

Hi everyone, It's been an exciting month for working with other creators, and for our final collaboration, we're working with one of our favourites - Tesseract Tomb! Daniel creates incredible scenery and vehicles every month over on his Patreon and Tribe. The Land Defense Cannon is part of July's brilliant release, and is available to download from your MMF Library right now :) Let's hear directly from the man himself! Hi, I'm Daniel, the designer behind Tesseract Tomb. I fell in love with painting miniatures and playing tabletop games around five years ago. Since then, slowly my hobby became my passion and occupation. I enjoy a lot of different game systems like Warhammer 40k and Fallout Wasteland Warfare. I mostly design terrain and machines for your tabletop games. I'm currently working on a Fortress World theme. The kick off project of this theme was the Fortified Position Alpha. I designed a Fortified Bastion with different sides like turrets and portholes. The Bastion will be the base for a lot of different ideas I'm planning. For example next month I want to make a huge macro cannon that will slot into it. I also designed a Land Defense Turret and an AA Turret. These two work alone or with the Bastion as well, they slot on top of it. I made a lot of different weapon options too so you can mix and match for your heart's desire. I would like to share with you the Land Defense Cannon which can be printed both with FDM or resin printers. For resin it comes fully supported and hollowed. If you like my designs you can find me on Patreon or MMF: https://www.patreon.com/TesseractTomb https://www.myminifactory.com/users/tesseracttomb

Miniature Monday - The Widow Makers!

Hi everyone, Today I'm sharing a teaser image with you of our next July release, The Widow Makers! Andy has a few more modular options to create before they're ready, so expect those with you on Tuesday or Wednesday :) The Widow Makers are huge gun platforms that work for the Kaledon Fortis, or would probably even work in a Gang Stronghold or a larger terrain board too. We hope they'll be a really useful miniature for everyone :D Look out for the STLs in your library soon! Kind regards, Gem

The Calidus Squad - Armatis Mors are FINALLY released!! :D

Hi everyone, The Calidus Squad is finally finished and print tested, and available to download from your MMF Library :) The modular kit allows you to make a group of flame thrower boys, with optional flame effects. Future modular kits of space warriors will interact with this one, so if you keep gathering them, you can build lots of different versions! I have done a short build guide to explain how to use the different folders in your download. It's really simple how the characters are built, but I thought a guide might help so please give it a quick read before printing and creating your squad :) Attached to this post, you can see the eight unique poses we've designed. You can actually make more, but these are our example versions. Let us know in the comments what you think. We've also had some good feedback on our second render test posted yesterday, so we'll keep tweaking the style :) Happy printing this weekend! Kind regards Gem

Armatis Mors update + Render feedback take 2!

Hi everyone, We've finally finished the first squad of Armatis Mors warriors :) The last parts are running on the 3d printers now, so we can double check the supports are good and the fit of the parts works. I'm then going to do a short build guide to show you how to put them together. It's not complex, but I think it could be useful to have one nevertheless. All being well, the STLs will be uploaded to MMF this evening :D I'm really sorry we missed the release on Wednesday and Thursday - I kept thinking they would be released, and then we had to push it back for additional tweaks and changes at the last minute. Everyone in the comments of our previous WIP post were fairly upset about the new army, and so we've been tweaking the files a lot to try and make them better! We just wanted to make sure we did our very best with the kit :) Render feedback take 2 So, neon lighting on a black background was a no go! We had some excellent feedback about our Idolonid Alpha render across the comments and on Discord. People didn't like the plain background as it's very generic, and also were not keen on the bright neon lighting because it washed out details. So, we now have a textured greyer background, and a more neutral/ gently lit miniature. Please add your thoughts below! They were invaluable before - so if you like it, let us know. If you would change something, tell us what :) Why are we changing our renders? I don't know if I mentioned this before, but we shared Andy's painted Adjudicator robot in a few places across social media. Multiple people mentioned that they loved the miniature, and had previously overlooked it because of the renders :O This made us realise that our renders might not be doing the models justice and catching people's eye, which is of course, not the idea of a render! Also, adding the new armies means that it will only get more confusing to figure out what models belong to what faction, esp if the renders are the same. We are aiming to have a unique logo for our different groups - Idolonids, Armatis Mors, Kaledon Fortis, and Stack City. As well as the logo, we want each faction to have a different render twist - still a consistent look, but a twist on the base design. Then you can more easily see what models belong to what range :) So, we're on the adventure with the community to pick a new render design. Please help and comment below! Kind regards Gem

Exciting Promo from Alboran's Heroes! Free Daemon Scourge Sister :)

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to announce a collaboration with you today! Alboran's Heroes is Lorena's new MyMiniFactory store, where she is selling her personal creations :) Lorena has been a sculptor for Print Minis since we launched two years ago and she's become a good friend too. Recently, she's taken a temporary step back from working on the Kaledon Fortis army for us. Sculpting for a monthly subscription is very demanding on creativity and can be quite stressful. Lorena has wanted to launch her own store for a long time and she's final able to do that, where she can design beautiful armies without a looming deadline! I think the results speak for themselves :) The Daemon Scourge Sisters are the first army that Lorena is working on, and she has a beautiful selection of them available on her store already. As a special gift for Print Minis subscribers, she is sharing one of the Sisters for FREE, as well as offering an incredible 40% discount off the full set! The Sister is available to download from your MMF library now. ++Info:++ Alboran's Heroes Store: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/AlboransHeroes Full Sisters Kit: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-daemon-scourge-sisters-310003 Discount Code: SCOURGE40 Valid Until: 31st July "Lorena, why did you start your store with the Daemon Scourge Sisters?" "I love them because they are a very appealing army, is not a mainstream one haha, and what I really love is that you can use them in fantasy or sci-fi warhammer worlds, or even in a dnd campaign because demons are really basic miniatures! I just tried to make a reflection of what I think a demon is, with a mix of sensuality and delicacy. I've never being the kind of player that loves the mainstream things, I prefer something more original, and I like to create what I consider beautiful miniatures. I don't know if I'm a artistic person, but I try to do art with them, and I'm a tiny emo haha, so I like dark themes a lot!" Make sure to check out her store and buy the full kit to support Lorena's independent work, if you like the models :) She will read these comments too, so let us know what you think!

Miniature Monday - second release!

Hi everyone, This is part 2 of our triple 'Miniature Monday' release :) In the MMF folder, you'll find two supported versions of this model. There is no difference between them, only a change in orientation. The first version printed fine, but I wasn't happy with my chosen orientation, so I've resupported it with a backwards tilt. However, the print is 11 hours! So I can't test that before today's release - it's going on the printer overnight. I will update the supports if there are any issues. The Winged Alpha is part of our new Idolonid alien race, with more to come in August to complete a Combat Group over the next few months. Renders! We're thinking of changing our render style. Each army will have a different colour, with Idolonids being purple/pink. We want our renders to be more eye-catching. What do you think? I've included our current renders and a WIP of a new render style. If you don't like it, please elaborate why and how you would improve things ;) If you do like it, please comment or the feedback is skewed negatively and it's really hard to know what the majority of people think :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! There will be three releases this week :D

Hi everyone, There's a bit of a deviation from the normal release schedule this week, because we need a little more time for print testing the Armatis Mors troops and the Idolonid. We want to make sure they print awesome :) So, today we're releasing Nemesis! This chunky War Zybot is part of our new Armatis Mors range, but would probably work in a lot of different settings. He's fully supported and print tested, and there's a simple Build Guide for him with the download on MMF too. Tomorrow will be the Idolonid, which will hopefully be an ideal monster to add into your sci-fi games, no matter what you play! Then on Wednesday, we will release our Armatis Mors squad.


Gang Poll On Friday, in our FYI Catch Up post, we shared the sketches for our new Stack City gang and received some feedback. Some people mentioned they didn't like the industrial look of the suits. It's hard to know whether that is an opinion shared by everyone, or just the few people who comment, so we're doing another poll! Please check out the images in the gallery below and vote :) Option 1 - Original - Industrial suit design Option 2 - Redesign - Organic insect-like suit design I crossed out the head in the pictures because we're going to redesign that - too many people said it looks like a Klingon haha :P Thank you! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A catch up post:)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had an amazing week! Adjudicator Robots Andy painted one our our chunky robots for the Enforcers gang from a couple of months ago, and he wanted to share the results with everyone :D I've attached his pictures to this post - they're amazing! Chem Dealer After some brilliant feedback on our Chem Dealer poll, we have designed TWO versions of the character. One with the plague doctor mask, and an alternative with the dieselpunk mask. The screenshots are attached to this post. What do you think of our Fallen Noble? We hope you like her :) We have her in a sassy pose because, despite being down on her luck, she still knows she's better than the riffraff buying her chems! Code Splicer Cult Name pending(?), but they're a new alien gang that we're going to introduce to Stack City next month. Martina is in the early stages of designing them, so let us know your feedback on her sketch! We will have a male version and a female version. What do you think of the designs? We're not sure about the head... Dread Zybot Also name pending! But this is the giant robot that belongs to our new warrior class, the Armatis Mors. It's very modular and poseable, with multiple weapon options, two head options and fully poseable legs. We have more pose examples to share with you on Monday, when the miniature is due for release, but I wanted to give you a teaser today :) We hope you like him. You can't beat a chunky, stompy robot, in my opinion! That's it for updates. Have a brilliant weekend, everyone :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - 2/4 for July! Kaledon Fortis released :)

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend! The release this week is a little smaller, with a bigger set planned for next week. We've delayed the release of our Armatis Mors Warriors by a week to allow us to work on them further. There was a LOT of feedback after we released the WIP, so we've been tweaking the design a bit :) Next week, we'll also have a giant robot for the Armatis Mors and our first Idolonid too! Then the last week of July is more Stack City stuff. Anyway, today we have a Kaledon Fortis themed release. 1. Injured Troops Our set of injured troops are ready. You can see some pictures of the printed models attached to this post - I absolutely love how these turned out :) People have been asking for some dead and injured soldiers for a while now, so you can finally add some carnage to your battlefield dioramas! I know that there aren't any playable characters for the KF this month - apologies to those people who wanted that. We're already busy planning where we'll take the KF army from October, when we hope to ramp production back up. Ideas welcome in the comments as usual :) 2. Phobos Gun Expansion For those of you that don't have the Phobos Main Battle Tank, you can grab that here with your 50% subscriber discount ;) However if you don't want to buy it, I've included the turret with this upgrade kit so you can at least attach the guns to something and kitbash the turret onto another model you own. Of course, the best option would be to grab our Phobos tank though :D For those of you that already own it, this upgrade has been a long time coming! I'm sorry it's taken us this long to make some extra guns for it. You now have: Anti Tank Cannon, Assault Cannon, Blast Cannon, Dual Auto Cannons, Dual Laser Cannons, Medium Cannon, Plasma Cannon and Siege Cannon to use alongside your Battle Cannon from the original kit. Update on Poison Dealer Poll The pole was in favour of the Fallen Noble design, but many people wished for her to wear the dieselpunk mask instead of the plague doctor mask. So, we're going to do the Fallen Noble with BOTH options :) Print the one you prefer! She might be out this month, but more likely next month. We'll see. Thank you so much :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Video diorama, character pole, and loyalty reward progress :)

Hi everyone I hope you've all had a great week :) Let's catch up! Miniature Hobbyist - Grimdark Dioramas Firstly, we're very excited to be working with the Miniature Hobbyist on YouTube. We're going to do a series of videos together, using our terrain and miniatures, alongside other amazing companies, to create some epic gameboards for Kill Team, Necromunda and 40K battles. You can check out his first video in the series here: https://youtu.be/ynsW3jtIZUo Make sure you go and support his channel, and drop him a like if you can :) For those of your eagle eyed subscribers, can you spot our terrain pieces? There are just a few in this first video. It actually got me thinking about making some of our own industrial tiles, which you could use to make a gameboard... I also think we need to make some more greebly bits for building terrain boards, so let me know if you have requests in the comments! Also - that rust paint Jon uses is insane! :O I'm going to have to buy some haha, it's just too cool to watch it rust before your eyes. Poison Dealer - Character Pole We've been wanting to make a poison dealer for a while, someone who can sell the vials and concoctions brewed at the Poison Workshop. We also wanted the character to be a woman, since the Poison Workshop is run by our Poison Mistress, so it's like an all female enterprise! Martina has sketched three designs: A - kind of like a fallen Noble. She's wearing fancier cloths, but is now selling poisons on the streets! B - she's taking things more seriously, and has some proper protective clothing C - her mask is more dieselpunk and less 'plague doctor' inspired. Please vote in the poll for your favourite design and add any thoughts in the comments :) Images attached to this post. Loyalty Reward Preview Andy has returned to working on the rewards with a vengeance! Remember that your months now act like loyalty points, and so they don't need to be consecutive to earn the reward. Stick with us for 12 random months out of 15 months, for example, and you'll still get the 12 month loyalty reward :D It also doesn't matter if you subscribe on Patreon, Tribes, or hop between them. The Loyalty Rewards add to one another as a series. The Etheum Tanks (3 months) work with the Etheum Pipes (6 months), which will work with the 9 and 12 month rewards too! Attached to this post is a render of the progress on the 12 month reward (Etheum Rig) so far! There are some 9 month bits mixed in, because Andy's sculpting them at the same time to be cohesive. We hope you like it! That's it for updates today. Thank you so much for your support :) Please drop your thoughts in the comments - we do read them all, even if I don't always have a chance to reply. Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for July :) Plus, some clarifications!

Hi everyone, So our first models for July have been released via My Mini Factory! If you look at the renders attached to this post, you can also see the Sanctifier Bots Version 2, and three more Purifier zealots. Pre-supported files coming on Wednesday. Some of you asked about lances and polearms - we did make them! By chance, those arm options just weren't added to the first three poses. The Purifiers are modular, so you can add whatever weapon options you choose. The Fanatic Ambler is also available. A few of you mentioned you didn't like his pose - so sorry about that! I actually think it's fun, but I'm sure you could do some kit-bashing to get a version you prefer once printed :)


++Some Clarifications:++ TLDR: we are not decreasing our support for Stack City. If you're only here for that, you will still get 3-4 models/model kits released for it every month. On Friday, we revealed that we will be expanding our range to cover 2 new armies - the Armatis Mors Warriors and the Idolonid aliens. I know this news hasn't gone down favourably with everyone, and we're so sorry to have upset people :( We're expanding our offering to cover more 'mainstream' models too because for the last 5 months, our studio has been loosing more subscribers than we gain, shrinking our numbers month on month. It's a competitive industry and money is tight for everyone at the moment. Creating the monthly collections takes a fairly large team (5 currently, soon expanding to 7), a huge amount of time, and a lot of money. If our numbers drop too low, we can no longer afford to commission as many miniatures. Then we end up in a spiralling situation of not being able to produce enough content to be good value for money, which leads to less subscribers. So, our plan is to add new armies, and try to appeal to some new subscribers :) However, I want to confirm, we will continue to add to Stack City every month. We will be releasing lots of cool models for that game system, expanding our undercity world with a mix of terrain, gangs, characters and vehicles! We love that world and have no plans to stop developing for it. What about Kaledon Fortis? With regards to the Kaledon Fortis line, we're not stopping support for that either :) There are some leadership characters missing from our line up, but I think we've covered a lot of the main bases in terms of basic troops choices. The biggest thing we're missing right now is vehicles! Andy is working to fix that :D We would also like to do some more interesting iterations of our troops, like perhaps some Calvary versions, or some jungle versions in the future. Those of you that collect KF, please let us know what you would like to see! Those are our plans for the Kaledon Fortis. For various reasons, in the short term, we will be releasing less frequently for this line. However, there will be at least 1 release per month for this army (July - injured troops, August - terrain kit, September - vehicle).


I hope these clarifications help a bit :) I'm sorry if any of you are upset with our new direction. I really hope it works out and we can keep content that everyone can enjoy! Kind regards Gem & Andy

FYI Friday - Previews of July Collection! New armies :)

Hi everyone, I can't believe it's July already! Let's look at some of the models you can expect to see next month :) Starting on Monday 3rd July, we have: 1. Fanatic Ambler - a limbering giant of a man, ridden by one of the Purifiers, ready to convert or kill on the battlefield! 2. Sanctifier Bots - a trio of robot walkers for traversing the Brinkland wastes outside of Stack City. There is another version of the robot with extra poses coming on Wednesday 5th July, once it's finished. Other models coming during the month: 3. Injured Kaledon Fortis soldiers Many of you have been asking for this for a long time! We're finally releasing some injured soldiers. Attached to this post, you can see the WIP of four injured poses. We have yet to add the armour damage and gore. What do you think of the poses? My favourite is the soldier that has been struck in the chest by a bullet and is staggering back. ++Some Big Changes!++ For the last twelve months, we've been expanding the world of Stack City with various gangs, vehicles, terrain and creatures. We've also been growing the standing army of the planet, the Kaledon Fortis. From next month, we're going to be adding TWO more armies to our monthly releases!! We're so excited :D We decided to invest heavily in the studio, and our releases are getting bigger. Army 1 - The Armatis Mors A shocking alien threat has arrived on the planet of Mortuus Secunda. Luckily, a brigade of the Armatis Mors were on a nearby planet when they heard the distress call. This insectile threat has been rising across the galaxy and the elite army were fast to respond. For the next 6 months, we will see this battle escalate. The Armatis Mors will team up with the Kaledon Fortis to drive back the alien tide, while the gangs of the undercity try to survive - and thrive - amid the chaos! You can see a WIP of our new elite soldiers attached to this post. Let us know what you think :) Army 2 - The Idolonids This second army has no previews at the moment, but stay tuned next month for updates. Our first character will be released in July. These insect-like creatures are ferocious and unyielding in their quest to destroy all life on the planet. They feel no fear and work in synergy with one another, providing a worth foe for the mighty Armatis Mors. We hope you like the exciting future we have planned. It's more of the same and something new :D Should be fun! Kind regards Gem & Team PM

Miniature Monday - 4/4 for June :) Weapons and Mimas Trailer!

Hi everyone, Today is the last release for June, and it's a couple of updates for the Mimas Tank and the Weapon Smith Container! Mimas Trailer The Mimas tank is a really versitile kit. There are now three versions available, including the Wasteland Mimas released last week :) The Trailer is an add-on for that kit, which allows you to connect a trailer to the back of the tank. In this Trailer Kit, it gives you extra seats for your gang or troopers! In the future, we'll release other trailer updates, so pop any ideas in the comments below. Weapons Kit This is a collection of all the weapons we've released so far for our gangs! We think - let me know if any are missing :P You can use them with the Weapon Smith Container, as I've included two shelving units to stack them on. You could also use them for kitbashing, or with our other terrain as scatter. We hope you find them useful! On Friday, we'll outline our plans for the next 6 months as we have some big, exciting changes :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for June :) Wasteland tank & Weaponsmith shop!

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to share today's releases with you! 1. Weaponsmith Container Kit First up, we have an incredible container kit from Andy - the Weaponsmith Shop. Take your guns there to be repaired or upgraded. You can also buy guns from him too; a weapons pack will be released next Monday :) This kit is finished, but I'm still working on pre-supports, so expect those in the next day or two. It is fully compatible with all previous containers, and it is set within our Bulk Shipping Container this time! 2. Dante, the Weaponsmith This is the smith character that works at the shop! There is a version of him holding weapons in his hands, and one with empty hands so you can add your own items :) 3. Slave Ogre Clan Leader A leader character for our slave ogre clan released last Monday. This grizzled boss is full of personality - I love how he turned out! 4. Wasteland Mimas Everyone adored our little Mimas Tank from May so much that we're back with a Wasteland version :D This modular tank is fully compatible with the previous kit, which you can buy here. You can have an enclosed roof with an optional carry container on top, or a partly open roof with the tarp rolled back. There are three new heavy weapons, and the tank has desert tires too! You can choose to have free tires, or there's an enclosed track option. In the gang kits released this month, there is a driver pose for the Mimas tank for the Nightshades and the Enforcers. Phew, what an amazing set this week :) We hope you like them! Let us know what you think in the comments! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday post! Sharing your painted minis and a sneaky preview

Hi everyone, For this week's FYI Friday post, I want to showcase some of the amazingly talented modellers in our Discord! You can join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 These pictures have been shared by the authors in the #your-painted-minis section of our community, where you can show off your creativity. Some of the images are of kit bashed projects using our printed models as well as those from other sources. See if you can identify the models in the images! Extra points if you can remember the character's names or the specific terrain packs ;) At the end of the inspiring gallery are some previews of the absolutely epic Wasteland Mimas Tank coming out next week! We hope you like it! Remember, we already released a driving pose for the Mimas for the Enforcer & Nightshade gangs :) Have a great weekend! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for June's releases :)

Hi everyone, The Slave Ogre Clan is finished and uploaded to MMF - check out the other two poses rendered above! We actually also have a Clan Leader coming out next week too, so that will be exciting :D We've also finished the Damaged Walls Kit, which is also available via MMF. Hope you like it! Andy is hard at work on the Gun Merchant Container, and we'll also have some previews of the Wasteland Mimas coming out on Friday. This month is shaping up to be very fun :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday post - damaged walls, gun sellers and slave ogres!

Hi everyone, Apologies for the lateness of this post! Let's take a look at some of the models in production this week :) 1. Damaged Barricade Walls A couple of month's ago, we released a Barricade kit, which you can see here. This month, we're releasing an upgrade to that kit which adds damaged walls. You can use them on their own to make a complete ruined wall, or you can mix and match them with the other kit (if you have it) to create a wall freshly under siege. Don't forget to use your 50% off subscriber discount code to get any kits from our store ;) 2. Slave Ogres This month we also see a squad of slave ogres being released! You can use them as a gang for your undercity, or as an addition to the Kaledon Fortis army. They have been designed in uniform for this reason :) They are not modular, because it's really tough to design good poses for chunky models when they also need to be modular. The characters turn out better if they are one piece, and we figured less 'clunky' poses would be preferable to modular characters. Hope that's okay! They are however the same size and bulk as our previous slave ogres, which you can see here, so you can add them to the others to form a larger group! 3. Gun Merchant Andy is working on a gun seller container, which will also be a fix-it workshop for weapons to give it a mechanic-y look and added functionality too. We figured that would be more interesting as a container kit :) Martina has used some AI concept art we generated to produce her character design. This is a new method we're using at the design stage to create some unique and fun characters! AI doesn't work for everything - it certainly has strengths and weaknesses - but it's a great tool for our artists to use as springboard for inspiration. You can compare the generated art for a gun seller/fixer with Martina's sketched design. That's it for updates! Have an amazing weekend, everyone :) Kind regards, Gem PS - it's my birthday on Sunday, woohoo! Andy & I are going to a boardgame cafe in our local city to celebrate :D

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for May :) Refuelling Station pt2 & Adjudicator Robot Brutes!

Hi everyone, It's time for the final release of the month! Let's take a look at the last models in May's 'Power' themed collection :) 1. The Adjudicators - Enforcer Brute Robots This trio of chunky boys is ready to roll out onto the streets with our City Watch Enforcers and pound some skulls! They take no nonsense and can stand against even the toughest of gangs, so when the infighting needs to be tamed, they're rolled out to ensure the undercity feels the full force of the law! This is a modular kit, with multiple weapon option and poses to create a unique band of robot brutes to accompany your Enforcers gang. 2. Charging Station - Refuelling Base This is a charging station for energy cells, which can power your vehicles and guns without the need for oil! This station can be found at the Refuelling Base, which already has a series of terrain in it (released last week). It comes with separate Energy Cells which you can place onto the base if they're charging, or collect as cargo for an objective. This miniature kit is still being perfected (we need to balance the rivet distribution better, but we ran out of time before today - sorry!) and then it will be print tested. The finished version will be out by the end of the month. 3. Fuel Scatter - Refuelling Base This is a fun set of smaller scatter items for to the Refuelling Station. There are tools & a tool box for fixing the machines, jerry cans for loading fuel, and large barrels for storing fuel or other supplies, plus a shipping pallet to transport the good on. All the items are separate, so you can stack and arrange them however you like, and use them as scatter elsewhere, like loaded into the back of your vehicles etc. Subscriber Request Finally, I've added one extra item to the Oil Tanks kit, which is also part of the Refuelling Station terrain set. A subscriber asked for a long ladder that will reach from the ground to the top platform, without needing to use the smaller platforms. We've made that and I've added it to the kit, so just redownload the zipped folder if you want it :) That's everything for this month! We hope you like it! Next month, we'll see an expansions to all three of our biggest gangs, a new shipping container conversion kit, a modular wasteland vehicle, a new set of slave ogres and more :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Game Expansions for June, and Build Guides :)

Hi everyone, I've got two main things to update you on today, ahead of our final Miniature Monday release :) That will see the Enforcer Brute Robots and Part2 of the Etheum Refuelling Station! June: Gang Expansions As you may know, we've been focusing on three gangs so far:

  • The Bitter Nightshades
  • City Watch Enforcers
  • The Erroish Tribe However, we didn't have a complete weapons set for them. After starting with another gang this month (The Purifiers), I wanted to ensure we fleshed out the other gangs with a triple set in June!! Each of those THREE gangs is getting an expansion, adding additional poses, driving poses and new weapons to them :D Attached to this post, you can see the progress made on the Nightshades and the Erroish. What do you think? Build Guides We had a few requests in Discord for Build Guides. I didn't do one for the Guard Tower or the Mimas Tank last month because I thought they were fairly simple to build and didn't need one. However, I always like to provide what you guys want, so after seeing the requests, I've made them for you :) They are both now available on MMF with the object, and attached to this post. June - What Else? I don't have any other previews for you, but as a reminder, we'll be releasing a Weapons Dealer Container Kit, a Wasteland Mimas Vehicle (cross compatible with the past tanks), and some more Slave Ogres to name but a few fun things we have in store! Have an amazing weekend, everyone :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for May :) Oil tanks and Fortune Tellers!

Hi everyone, Today, we're releasing Part 1 of our Etheum Refuelling Base and the Nightshade's fortune teller! 1. Etheum Oil Tanks This is such a beautiful kit and I'm so happy with how it turned out :) It's fairly modular, so you can actually have as many tanks as you like, since they're not connected to each other. They work with or without the top and side platforms, and they have a lid, so if you'd like to fill the hollow tank with a resin effect, you can do that! The kit is also compatible with our 6 month loyalty reward - Etheum Pipes! Next week, there will be some scatter items to go with the kit - barrels, jerry cans and a shipping palette. There is a solid version of the tank to print on FDM included. 2. Etheum Generator This is a great scenery piece, which we imagine could also be transported on the back of the Colossus to power a new location. It is a standalone piece at the moment, but next week, we'll add some extra items. Expect to see a Fuel Cell Charging Station which connects to the Generator, some large fuel cell batteries, and some maintenance scatter like tools & coiled cables! 3. Nightshade Seer This gorgeous character is part of our Bitter Nightshades gang, but is also designed in such a way that she might even work in a fantasy setting :) She gives me space pirate vibes and I love that! The second print of her worked perfectly, with no issues on the hair plates after they were thickened up a bit. ++Other Updates++ 4. FDM Bulk Shipping Container I have added a fully solid version of our double wide container to the zipped folder, so you can print it on FDM, and just do the detail pieces in resin. The door won't work as there's no inside detail with that version, but it does save resin if you want to print a lot of them :) 5. Update to The Purifiers Head Design Someone mentioned in our comments that the long hoods on the zealots was causing an issue for posing. I found that a little too - you can't tilt the head up very far, so we've included a new version of the heads in the zipped folder with shorter hoods. You can use those instead, or use both :) That's everything for today! We hope you like this week's models. Next week is the Enforcer Brute Robots and Part 2 of the Etheum Refuelling Station. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A catch up post :) May and June discussions

Hi everyone, It's Friday again! Let's talk about the models coming out next week :) - Nightshade Seer Our beautiful Seer for the Bitter Nightshades has been print tested. One of her hair plates snapped while I was cleaning her, so we're going to thicken them a little to ensure that doesn't happen on your end. I've attached some quick pics of her to this post - she'll be out on Monday. - Etheum Tanks Part 1 of the Etheum Refuelling Base will be released on Monday too! I only have some screenshots of the terrain to share with you, but hopefully you can start getting excited about the kit with a full reveal next week :D It's modular so you can configure the tanks how you'd like, and it's fully compatible with our 6 Month Reward - The Etheum Pipes! - Enforcer Robot Brutes These are coming along really nicely! Andy is hoping to have them finished for a Monday release, but there are no previews, so you'll have to tune in next week to see them ;) JUNE For June, we have some cool ideas that we're working on. There's going to be a new Shipping Container Kit - an Ammo/ Weapons Seller! There will be a Trader character to go with it too, so you can add this container to your Grimdark Market, alongside the Beast Emporium. We're also going to be revisiting past gangs and adding upgrades for them so you have more weapons and poses available :) We're starting with the Bitter Nightshades, and possibly another gang for June. We'll see how we go for time! There's also another iteration of the Mimas in the works at the moment, hopefully coming out in June, which will transform it into a Wasteland vehicle for your gangs! All current gangs will get a driving pose for the Mimas & Colossus :D That's it for now - let me know what you think of our plans in the comments! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for May. Purifier Gang and Heavy Weapons Kit!

Hi everyone, It's time for the second release of May and I'm really excited to share these models with you :) 1. The Purifiers This zealot cult turned out so great in the end, and I'm looking forward to painting them. The details have printed really well and I love the masks that Martina designed. This is the first release for a new gang we'll be adding to over time, alongside our three established gangs (City Watch Enforcers, Bitter Nightshades and The Erroish Tribe). What do you think? How shall we expand them in the future? Also, thank you to our subscriber 'FennekCriid' for the gang name suggestion :D 2. Kaledon Fortis Heavy Weapons This is a big kit, which gives you a lot of variety with the weapon dioramas you create. There are nine poses that Lorena has designed for the troopers in these scenes, and you can make 6 different guns too (sculpted by Andy)! You can choose to have the manlet on or off, and of course, rotate the guns. There are ammo boxes for scatter, and all of the Kaledon Fortis trooper parts are compatible with previous kits, so you can mix and match the pose options! The Heavy Battery Guns are an ideal accompanying kit for the heavy weapon teams :) Missing FYI Friday Post I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to put out this post! To make up for it, I've included two previews of the Bitter Nightshades Seer character coming out this month - I'm in love with her design! :D Also, for everyone who dislikes attached servo skulls, here is one that isn't attached for once ;) That's it for today's update. I hope you like the new models - let us know in the comments! Kind regards Gem

Collaboration with Dorkfactory Miniatures!

Hi everyone, This month we're doing a model share with Dorkfactory Miniatures :) He's running a crowdfunding campaign for two factions of minis - aliens and troops - and has provided a sample of each side for you to try out! We're really excited to share these with you :D Let's here directly from him to learn more about the project:


Greetings from the Dork Factory, Please enjoy these 2 gift miniatures! They come from Headcount at Dawn, a kickstarter project for 2 dueling skirmish factions running right now! The Human Survivor Militia faces off against the Usurper Worm Horde. Both factions come with free rules for Onepagerules’ Grimdark Future Firefight and the Usurper Worm horde can be used as monsters in D&D 5e! Check out all the models, rules and backstory on the campaign page: ++https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dorkfactory/headcountatdawn++ In addition to the kickstarter, check out this month’s patreon bundle as well!

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for May :) Containers, creatures and leaders!

Hi everyone, It's time for our first release of May, which sees the following models now added to your MMF library:

  1. Large Shipping Container kit We will be expanding upon this to include most of our other options, like the window sections, and down opening doors etc. The accessory pieces that decorate the slanted roof sections will also fit with the original shipping container too!
  2. Duchess Hestia
  3. General Agatha Storm
  4. Centisaur Beast Everything is pre-supported and has been printed tested, so you're good to go as soon as you've downloaded the new files! Have fun and thank you so much for your support this month :D Kind regards Gem PS - next Monday will see the release of our Cultists, Heavy Weapons Set and Heavy Weapons Troops!

FYI Friday! More May models to get excited about :)

Hi everyone, We hope you've had a fantastic week! On Monday, we will be releasing:

  • Agatha Storm, Kaledon Fortis HQ
  • Duchess Hestia
  • The Centisaur
  • Extra Wide Shipping Container Andy has finished the container expansion kit, which sees the long requested extra-wide version :D This is 1.5 times the original, so it will still fit on the Colossus, but you can include a lot more on the inside, including having two miniatures stood together. Many of the previous container conversion parts will still fit, except those pieces which require the smaller width specifically, like the bed from the Habitation Unit kit. Kaldeon Fortis Heavy Weapons Andy has started work on the guns and has made great progress. That kit will be released on the 15th May. So far, Lorena has made several new Kaledon Fortis troop poses for the kit, the WIP of which you can see attached to this post :) Three different kneeling poses, and two extra head options (to include alongside your standard helmeted option). We'll also have plenty of new arm poses too. The Cultists I'm not sure what this gang will be called yet, but they'll also be released on the 15th May. We listened to various pieces of feedback after previewing the sketches, and these are our finalised miniatures! You can see two different body types, more formal and less formal for a nice mix in the gang. Plus, a lot of new head options with fantastic masks! Inspired by the Venetian Carnivale; can you tell? Then the weapons have rope accents to tie in with the character bodies, and be a visual 'feature' of these religious fanatics. We hope you like them :D Enjoy your weekend! Kind regards Gem

It's May! Updates on release schedule, throwback pack & more!

Hi everyone, Firstly, let's take a look at the first set of models which are going to be released this month on the 8th May :D

  • Duchess Hestia
  • Agatha Storm
  • The Centisaur You'll notice that Hestia has a new pose :) There were a lot of comments about her pose and it not being quite right, so we've done a new one! Thank you to our subscriber 'Chikhai' who reached out on Discord with some artwork for a new pose idea. We love it! Hopefully you all prefer her now? :) Throwback: I picked some cyberpunk models for the throwbacks this month - three epic characters: Zara Goldhand (still one of my favourites!), Alex Alvarez and Detective Welles (perhaps a good addition to our Enforcers?). They are in a 36mm scale, so you might need to resize them a bit. Just see what you think after printing :) I also chose the Death Stalker robots - such gorgeous models! And a set of city bar bases. We don't really do scenic bases anymore, so I thought it would be fun to share these with you.
  • You will get these models tomorrow, on 2nd May * Loyalty Rewards I will update the loyalty reward groups tomorrow, so if you are due the 3 or 6 month rewards, you should get a notification about that soon :) There will be a 9 month reward; Andy is working on it! The house move has delayed a lot of projects. We're so sorry about that. Store Discount The old April discount still works for now. I'll get a new May code sorted out this week, and I'll also put the April release on the store for any new subscribers to catch up :) I think that's it for updates! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Plans for May's collection :)

Hi everyone, What a month! The house move is finally finished for Andy & I, so I'm looking forward to getting back to normal again :) We have some fun plans for May and would love your input, if you have any opinions or ideas. I read all the comments, even if I don't get chance to reply to each one, so always let us know what you think. ++Proposed Content Plan for May:++

  • Heavy Weapons x5 for Kaledon Fortis army
  • Heavy Weapons team to operate the guns
  • HQ leader for Kaledon Fortis army: Agatha Storm
  • Centisaur Beast for the Fighting Pits
  • Etheum Generator & scatter kit
  • City Watch Enforcer Robot Brutes
  • Cultists Gang (modular)
  • Duchess Hestia
  • Bitter Nightshades Seers/ Necromancer
  • Shipping Container expansion pack Now let's talk about some of these projects individually, and showcase a few previews, which you'll find attached to this post :) 1. Etheum Generator & scatter kit You can see the finished Generator, but we still haven't started the scatter yet. What sort of items would you like to see as part of this kit? 2. Cultists Gang (modular) We have two body types for our characters, which you can see from the two sketches - one with robes open and one with robes closed. We wanted to give a strong feeling of religious zealots from the character design, and the imposing authority that comes with true belief. These gang members have the power of righteous faith on their side, which makes them more dangerous and volatile compared to other gangs! What is their religion? That is for you to decide. We haven't added a lot of fire emblems, because we would like to do an Etheum Gang, which will be designed with an industrial style to denote workers but also with a lot of fire symbology as they are fanatic in their love of fuel and power. 3. Duchess Hestia This character has now been posed, and following subscriber feedback, we've removed the spiked cage detail on the staff to simplify the visuals a little and allow her sun-like ruff to really pop! We picked a powerful pose with staff raised, shouting commands. Hope you like her! Thank you so much :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for April :) Heavy Mimas Tank Upgrade

Hi everyone, It's the final release of the month, which sees an upgrade to the Mimas Troop Carrier released earlier this month :) It's a Heavy version, with an armoured roof and large ram. You can have it fully covered, or leave the back off for a half armoured version! You can also choose to add the ram or not. Finally, it also sees the full release of guns for the Mimas, which work with the troop carrier version and the heavy version. We've also added an extra STL to the original Mimas files - a detail piece that fits on top of the cockpit as shown in the screenshot. You don't need it, but it's a nice extra that JoJo created while working on the heavy tank :) Redownload the Mimas folder to get it. We hope you like the final model of this month! At the end of the week, Andy & I will finally have finished moving house, so we're excited to get back to normal. Andy will have a shipping container expansion kit ready asap, and Martina is working on our cultist gang right now :D Thank you so much for all your support :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Updates for May :)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a brilliant week so far! Andy & I have been moving house this month, with the big relocation happening this week. It's been chaos and I've never felt so exhausted haha, but we survived ;) Let's talk about May again - We mentioned that we're creating a new noble character for Stack City. You can see her finished t-pose attached to this post. What do you think? :) Centisaur We're also adding a Pit Beast to the underground fighting rings of the city! There's a couple of screenshots of the creature in Lychee and a close up render of its terrifying head. Heavy Weapons Teams We'll finally be doing the heavy weapon teams for Kaldeon Fortis. There will be an trooper team and multiple gun options to add to your growing army. New Gang - Cultists? Last week, I floated the idea of doing some Muscly Boys. It was a pretty divided topic in the comments, with many people suggesting cultists or some sort of religious sect instead. We like this idea, as religion always takes over in the darkest of places, and Stack City is no picnic! They could be an interesting gang to develop, so we'll give them a go in May, saving the Muscly Boys for a little later on. Pop your ideas for this new gang in the comments. That's it for updates today. The Heavy Mimas is coming on Monday, so have a wonderful weekend and we'll speak to you soon :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for April :D Riot Police and Mechanic!

Hi everyone, Today sees the release of some more characters! 1. Enforcer Riot Police A heavy gang of enforcers, adding to the City Watch modular set and the City Inspector that we've already released for our Enforcer gang series :) 2. Female Mechanic This modular pose includes the head without a helmet, since we expect her to be working behind the scene fixing tanks and other vehicles, but also a helmeted head, in case you want to put her on the front line :) Next Monday - So, we're rolling the shipping container upgrade kit into May as Andy needs a bit longer to finish it. This month has been crazy as we're moving house, which is a whirlwind of chaos to organise! Instead, we will release the Heavy Mimas tank kit next week as the final model kit for April, so make sure you've printed the Mimas Troop Carrier before then :D Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with Bestiarum Games! Epic Knight Redeemer model :)

Hi everyone, We're so excited to announce a model swap with Bestiarum Games today! We've long since admired their incredible dark fantasy vibes, which work so well with our grimdark world of Mortuus Secunda. Their April release - the Penitent Crusade - is heavily religious with some amazing showpiece miniatures like the High Lord Azriel, and the Armoured Transport  Wagon :) For our supporters, they have chosen to share the Knight Redeemer, which you can now download from your MMF Library! Let's hear directly from Bestiarum Games:


Hi Everyone! We are Bestiarum Games, and every month, we release a host of the grimmest and darkest models for your tabletop. Our April release sees the return of the ++Penitent Crusade++, zealous and brutal warriors of the Azerai Church, this time marshalled for war on a scale unseen in Parts 1 and 2. As a gift to the PrintMinis community, we’re sharing the Knight Redeemer, an armoured and moustachioed Warrior, whose duty is to record the great feats of bravery or piety committed by the Crusade’s pitiful adherents. Alongside our Miniatures, each month Bestiarum releases a brand new ++RPG Module++, compatible with 5E and Forbidden Psalm. Set in the dying world of Doaden, these self-contained adventures can be strung together to form a grand and overarching narrative that will see the Heroes uncovering the dark secrets of how the World reached this sorry state. We hope you have fun with the Knight Redeemer, if you like what you see, come and check us out on TRIBES or Patreon to see the full Penitent Crusade Part 3 Release! TRIBES – ++https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Bestiarum%20Miniatures++ Patreon - ++https://www.patreon.com/BestiarumMiniatures++ Cheers, and Happy Printing! Bestiarum Team

FYI Friday - an Update Post :) Riot Police, Heavy Mimas and May previews!

Hi everyone, It's time for another Friday update! Monday will see the release of the Heavy Mimas, an upgrade to this Monday's tank release! Plus, our female Kaledon Fortis Mechanic will be released too. We will also be releasing our Riot Enforcers! Phew, it's going to be a busy month for your printers haha :D This is a modular gang, which is an expansion to the City Watch Police we released a few months ago. When the gang fighting gets really crazy in the undercity, you send in the chunky Riot Enforcers! I've attached their renders to this post. May's collection We have some fun plans for May! I'm especially excited for a new Noble character for Stack City, a Lady with an outrageous fashion sense and a deadly mission. We also have a second badass woman to be released, this time for the Kaledon Fortis army! Agatha Storm - a formidable HQ choice for the Kaledons. Check out her preview attached to his post too :) Finally, we're thinking of creating a new gang - some Muscular Boys - to complement our all-female Nightshades gang. What do you all think?
Let us know your ideas in the comments! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for April :) Goods Master Kit, Mimas Tank, and Trooper Kit!!

Hi everyone, This is a very exciting Monday, packed full of releases!!

  1. Erroish Goods Master Kit This turned out so beautifully :) I've attached some quick pictures taken on our painting desk, so the lighting isn't perfect, but I really wanted to show off this outstanding kit! I think it'll be stunning when painted and hopefully can be a focal point for a scenario within your tabletop games. I've also completed a Build Guide for this kit, which can be found with the download through MMF.
  2. The Mimas Troop Carrier Tank This is Part 1 of the Mimas kit, with the armoured version and four more gun options coming out next Monday. This tank turned out so fantastically, especially with the troops all posed in the back. You can see some quick renders of what the kit looks like without the Kaledon Fortis troopers inside, and then how it looks fully kitted out. This tiny tank actually fits 7 troopers!! And it is a small tank, so it's perfect for anyone who doesn't want to print a big resin heavy vehicle.
  3. Kaledon Fortis Tank Troopers We really loved creating these poses, and tried to give you a fantastic variety :D Like always, the heads are interchangeable with past kits and you are likely to be able to use these poses with previous model release too. This month, we have four poses full of personality: a) Trooper firing over the side of the tank, leaning on the benches b) Trooper sat casually on the bench with a leg up c) Trooper standing on the back of the tank, holding onto a beam d) Trooper sitting on the bench, reading a navigation tablet and holding onto one of the beams Then we have three simple poses: e) The tank driver f) The sitting gunner at the front of the tank g) The standing gunner I haven't done a Build Guide for the tank, because it is very self explanatory ;)

That's it for our releases today! What do you think? Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments :D I don't always get time to reply, but I read every one of them. It helps us know what we're doing right, and how we can add to our collections in the future! Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, Let's take a closer look at some of the miniatures coming up this month! I'm not sure what order they'll come out yet, so stay tuned for Monday's choice :D 1. Erroish Goods Master & Lerrog This miniature by Martina turned out amazing!! We have an Erroish tribes member riding atop a Lerrog beetle, short and stout for carrying heavy goods, and a junky platform filled with goods. He could be on a migration, helping the nomad tribe to move from one camp to another, or you could even frame this character as a travelling merchant. 2. Female Mechanic This is a new character for the Kaledon Fortis, sculpted by Lorena. She is wielding a wrench and is ready to fix anything from a damaged ammo case to a battle tank! She has modular arms and a modular head, so you can interchange her with past & future modular female characters :) 3. Kaledon Fortis Small Tank - 'The Mimas' This is a small tank/ trooper carrier, which comes with an open version that can transport troops, and a closed battle version. This vehicle has been sculpted by JoJo - a hard surface sculptor we'll be working with from time to time :) Hope you like it! 4. Kaledon Fortis tank troops Lorena has posed a set of troopers for The Mimas, of which some previews are attached. We have tried to create really interesting and dynamic poses for this small vehicle, with troopers resting on the seats or leaning out of the side to fire a weapon. I love how they all turned out :D


That's it for the monthly previews. Thank you so much for your support! Kind regards, Gem

Miniature Monday - 1/4 for April :) Guard Tower & Etheum Lord!

Hi everyone, It's the first Miniature Monday of the month, which sees the release of our modular Guard Tower, which is compatible with last month's Barricades set, and the Etheum Lord! They have been added to your MMF Library now, alongside the Welcome Pack and our Throwback models, which you can see a render of attached to this post. Updates Over the next couple of days, I'll be working on the following things:

  • Loyalty Reward release for all newly qualifying people
  • Store discount for April
  • March's collection available on the store
  • Guard Tower Build Guide Next Monday I'm not certain what the release will be yet. We're close to finished on quite a few models - the Erroish Goods Master & Pack Bug, and the Kaledon Fortis Vehicle with Troopers. I'll let you know in the FYI Friday post what to expect on Monday 10th! Thanks everyone - happy printing :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! Previews for April. Subscriber requests. Beast Emporium Build Guide!

Hi everyone, Let's start today's post with some renders and previews for April! 1. Etheum Lord He's finished! I think he looks amazing :D He will have a flight stand and base, but they aren't in the render because to fit them we have to make the character smaller, and I think he's better bigger so you can see all the details. What other characters shall we add to our Etheum Guild? Should we do an Etheum Gang? 2. Guard Tower This is finished and rendered too. It is compatible with the barricade system, as you can see, and is stackable so you can choose the height. 3. Erroish Goods Master Attached to this post, you can see the finished t-pose of the Goods Master, who will ride on the giant bug along with the Tribe's belongings. What do you think of the design? 4. Erroish Pack Bug This giant insect is large enough to carry the Goods Master and some belongings on her back! Such a cutie with those stubby legs :P 5. Riot Enforcers This is an expansion to the City Watch Police Gang. They are chunkier and more heavily armoured, with bigger weapons. The Riot Enforcers are called in when things get really bad. Hope you like the design! ++Beast Emporium Build Guide++ I have finished the Build Guide for this awesome kit! You can find it attached to this post as a PDF, in our Discord, and also downloadable from the object on MMF :) You can also see a video of the finished build here: https://www.reddit.com/r/necromunda/comments/12700ec/i_give_you_the_beast_emporium_a_3d_printed/ ++Subscriber Requests++ We're working our way through four subscriber requests, and have two completed! a) Solid Shipping Container for FDM Andy has created three versions of the shipping container which are assembled and fully solid, so you can print on an FDM printer. We tested it and it works great (although we should have used less infill - that thing is a brick haha). I have added those files everywhere you find the 'modular shipping containers' zip file, so for new subscribers, just download them from the Welcome Pack again. Inside the new folder, you'll find the additional files. b) 3mm Flight Pole for Nightshade Sickles The flight pole and holes in the Sickles kit were 3.3mm and so we have reduced them to 3mm to allow you to buy and use acrylic poles instead :) The other two subscriber requests will be finished soon, so I'll update you when they are available! We hope you like all the previews for April and decide to stick with us for another month. Remember that every month you subscribe adds towards your Loyalty Reward points :D Got to collect that Etheum terrain! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4/4 for March :) Beast Emporium Container Kit!

Hi everyone, It's the final Miniature Monday of the month, and the release I've most been looking forward to - our Beast Emporium Shipping Container Kit!! It turned out fantastic, in my opinion. The kit includes:

  • Two new container sections which fit large cages (store anything in these cages if you don't want this to be a beast shop)
  • A new door, which raises upwards (works with all shipping container releases)
  • Shop interior accessories like a pay desk & till (use with other container shops too)
  • A huge vat which attaches to the shipping container* *end (we'll release upgrades for this to contain toxic slime, bubbling stew and more)
  • 4 new exotic beasts with shop signs for each species (plus a blank one) What do you think of this kit?! It's the first release in a series of Market Shop releases to develop your own Trading Post. Other ideas we have are - weapons & ammo, scrap metal, toxins & poisons, off-world fruit & veg. Someone in the Discord suggested a Repair Shop (for cars or robots), which is an idea we'd like to do too. That will come under the 'Services' theme - this already contains the Medicant and the Hab Unit. The Beast Emporium is available in your MMF Library to download and print right now, and a Build Guide will come before the end of the month :) If you want to start printing before then, you'll need at least one of every item in the folder. Thank you so much for your support! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Catch Up Post :) A pole and previews for April!

Hi everyone, Today I have some April collection previews for you to check you, as well as a pole for your opinions! Let's start with the pole: 1. Etheum Lord One of the characters next month is our Etheum Lord. Our loyalty rewards will provide you with a set of Etheum terrain, so it's only right we have an Etheum Guild to go with it :) We have two character sketches for the Etheum Lord's design - one is more of a religious look, since these guild members have a worship-like love of their fuel, and the other is more of an industrial-look, since their Guild is one of heavy industry and technology. Which do you prefer? Vote below! 2. Erroish Tribe Goods Master Also in next month's collection will be a goods master who is in charge of packing up for migrations. We will also have a large beast for him to ride, and some goods piled onto it! What do you think of the character sketch? We wanted a slightly more rugged look than the other tribe members, and a different hair style. 3. Female Mechanic - Kaledon Fortis One of the new characters for the KF army to come out next month is a mechanic! We hope you like her design :) There are other troops, but no previews yet as they're posed with a vehicle, which isn't ready to be shown. 4. Guard Tower Finally, you saw an early preview of the Guard Tower to go with the Kaledon Fortis FOB last week, and here are some snaps of the finished result! It's modular, so you can stack it as tall as you like, and there are options for tall or short walls on the platform top. It is also fully compatible with the Brinklands Barricade, released last Monday! Instead of placing the tower on its base on the ground, you can place in on top of your existing platform :D So cool haha!


Let us know your opinions in the comments, and please vote in the pole :) We hope you're as excited for April's collection as we are. Remember, there is one final release coming out on Monday 27th March of our Exotic Beast Stall & 3 new creatures!! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for March :D Kaledon Fortis characters & terrain!

Hi everyone, I'm so excited with how the Brinklands Barricade Kit has turned out! The parts are all magnetisable, and it's so satisfying to snap them together :D By using magnets, you can rearrange the walls & platform during gameplay and break them apart easily for transport or storage afterwards. The parts just use 5mm x 1mm magnets which are easy to find, and of course, you can just glue everything if you prefer something more permanent. The Build Guide is already finished and is available on our Discord and with the download files. We also have four new playable characters for the Kaledon Fortis army available today:

  • Ammo Carrier
  • Veteran Guard
  • Demolitions Expert
  • Female Medic It was really great to add more unique troops to the army, and I love all the different details and changes between the characters. If you have any other suggestions, please pop them in the comments :) We hope you like the models released today! Stay tuned for our final drop of March next Monday - four beasts and an Exotic Beasts Container Stall. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry I missed last week's update post! I'll make up for it today with lots of cool previews, starting with models due to come out on Monday 20th March! 1. Kaledon Fortis Characters x4 On Monday, we'll be releasing four new characters for the Kaledon Fortis:

  • Demolitions Expert (previewed)
  • Ammo Carrier (previewed)
  • Female Medic
  • Command Bodyguard 2. Kaledon Defensive Walls You can see the quick renders of that modular kit attached to this post. The walls are part of a new line of terrain for the Kaledon Fortis - a Forward Operating Base on the battlefield. We started it last month with the Command Centre. In the render, you can see the wall posed with existing KF troopers. In our story of Mortuus Secunda, the base sits next to the Ethium Fields, which are a large source of Ethium fuel out in the Brinkland Deserts. The Ethium Guild contracts the military to guard the field from Raiders, so they have set up their FOB on the outskirts. The base needs a name though... suggestions welcome below! Something like Fort Castrum.

Next, let's look at the models due out on the final Miniature Monday of the month, the 27th March! 3. Exotic Beasts These are the creatures sold by our Beast Merchant, Danila. There will be three new creatures, yet to be revealed, as well as an additional pose for the cute Silarisa lizard we released at the beginning of the month. You can see a screenshot of the sitting pose attached to this post. Is it just me, or does this creature give off a lot of Pug-vibes haha? :D 4. Exotic Beasts Stall This is going to be a Shipping Container kit which introduces some new structural pieces and cages. It will work perfectly as a Creature Stall, but you could also use it as a slave market to contain human characters, or even precious metals protected behind the bars. We're hoping it will be a widely useful container, the first in our Market Place line up. Optimised to work with the four Exotic Beasts but useable with other items in your own collection. There will be previews of that next week!


Finally, we have some very early previews for April's collection! We will be doing an Etheum Lord, which will be the first character in a set of Etheum Guild models. Plus, we're also working on an Erroish Beast of Burden, as requested in our Discord ;) No previews of these ideas yet. 5. Kaledon Fortis Guard Tower However, there is a preview for the Kaldeon Fortis Guard Tower, which will add to the FOB line. The tower will interact directly with the Defensive Walls, but it will also have an alternative base to be standalone too. In the renders you can see it previewed with our Sniper character. We will also have a top version with taller walls :) This is an early block out with limited detail, so just bear that in mind.


We hope you like all the previews! Drop your comments and suggestions below :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 2/4 for March - The Sickles: modular Nightshade Jet Bikes!

Hi everyone, We're really excited to release The Sickles today! These are a set of modular, magnetisable Jet Bikes for the Bitter Nightshades, complete with three riders :D The kit comes with different options for:

  • The engine turbine
  • The upper module on top of the bike
  • The side weapons modules
  • The lower module on the bottom of the bike With this kit, you can make a huge variety of jet bikes and add riders to them. The Nightshade riders are modular too, so keep the base body poses and swap out the weapon arms and heads with parts from previous kits :) Also, the bikes are fully magnetisable, if you want, so you can swap out weapon options during gameplay! The Build Guide for the Sickles is complete and available with the download from MMF, so you can get these sleek machines on your printer today and have your own set built up by tomorrow :D I'm so excited to see what you think of the designs - let me know in the comments! Kind regards Gem

The Command Centre Build Guide is finished!

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your patience while I finished the Command Centre Guide :) It's finally done, so you can now follow the instructions to build the first kit in our new line of terrain for a Kaledon Fortis FOB (Forward Operating Base). It's going to be an epic terrain collection, with another kit coming out towards the end of this month, so make sure you build your FOB first ;) If you're new, or skipped last month, the Command Centre is now on our store, so you can use your 50% off discount code to grab it. It's fully compatible with the Colossus Bulwark APC too, which is also on our store! Command Centre Bulwark APC The Build Guide can be found attached to this Patreon post, in our Discord, and with the objects on My Mini Factory :) Happy building! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday 1/4 for March!

Hi everyone, We hope you had a great weekend :) Today, we're releasing the modular City Outlaws kit, and Denali our Beast Merchant with her lizard pet. Later on in the month, there will be a Beast Stall for your Trade Market with some more small creatures to buy! All the models have been print tested, as you can see from the pictures. I was wondering about enlarging the lizard to give you a bigger version. Would anyone want that? Next Monday, expect some hover bikes for the Nightshades :D The files for today are in your MMF Library. Let me know if you have any issues finding them. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday :) A WIP Update Post!

Hi everyone, The Beast Merchant is finished, and she come with an adorable undercity creature to sell, a Silarisa :D This spiny, multi-eyed lizard creature is a loyal friend who has incredible eyesight to help you spot dangers, and a bite force that can crush bone. If this little fella chomps down, he's never letting go!! Denali the Merchant and her Silarisa pet will be out on Monday 6th March, along with the City Outlaws. Loyalty Rewards I have also released the 3 month and 6 month loyalty rewards for those of you that earned them this month :) Check your Library, in Objects Shared With Me, and you should see the Ethium Containers and for many of you, the Ethium Pipes too! These kits work together to create an Ethium Processing Collection. The 9 month reward will add to the theme :) Remember that the loyalty reward calculations are now cumulative, not consecutive, so your months subscribed are essentially like 'reward points'. You just have to collect 3 and then 6 (spaced out however you like) to earn each reward! Beast Merchant Stall After making the hover bikes for our Nightshades, Andy will create a container market stall for Denali, with more creatures and a variety of cages to hold them. If you have any ideas for what else this stall should have, drop them in the comments below! Thanks everyone :) Kind regards Gem

Throwback Pack revealed for March! City Outlaw renders.

Hi everyone, I've just added this month's Throwback miniatures to your MMF library :) Our theme is monsters - flesh and metal! We have:

  • The Mighty Desolation Engine
  • The Wallbreaker Artillery Guns
  • The Neuromantis Creature You can see images of those printed models attached to this post :) I hope you like them! The first release for March will be on the Monday 6th March, and it will include the City Outlaws modular kit - renders attached to this post. Kind regards Gem PS - I'm currently working on getting the loyalty rewards to qualifying people, and adding Jan's collection to the store over the next couple of days. PPS - I'll then release an updated discount code, but the Feb one should still work for now ;)

Miniature Monday 4/4 for February :) Commander Centre with fully detailed interior!

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to share our final release for February with you :) The Commander Centre is for our Kaledon Fortis army, to give your troops a HQ on the tabletop where they can relay the ongoing battle strategy from. Built like a bunker and full of the latest technology, with huge communication devices on top, what more could you want ;) You'd like it to be mobile, you say? Well - you're in luck! The Commander Centre is fully compatible with the Colossus, so you can mount it on the back too :D It has a working door, a rotating command seat bristling with displays, a holodeck with an actual city map you can print in clear resin, and removeable roof pieces so you can see inside during gameplay. Such an amazing kit from Andy :) I love it, and I hope you do too! We also have a Commander character for the Kaledon Fortis to add to your command squad, and to be in charge of the Command Centre HQ. He comes with two weapon options. Where are the files? I've added the empty objects to your library on MMF so you have them. However, I have one more plate of pieces to run off the printer tomorrow before everything has been tested. We'll do a fit check tomorrow afternoon, and make any necessary tweaks, and then I'll add the files to the objects by the end of the day - all being well :)


We hope you've enjoyed this month's releases and decide to stay with us as we continue to build out the world of Mortuus Secunda in March! Thank you so much for your support this month :D Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - A WIP Update Post. What's the plan for March?

Hi everyone, So in this post, I mostly wanted to outline the plan for March with you. Some things have been made already, but most haven't, so there's still time to suggest ideas :) The exact list will be finalised at the start of March. The first release is on the 6th March.

  • Exotic Beast Merchant w/ smaller creatures (started)
  • Exotic Beast Container Stall
  • Gang Outlaws modular kit x5 (finished)
  • Bitter Nightshade Bikes (started)
  • Bitter Nightshade ladies posed to ride bikes
  • Another Pit Beast for the undercity
  • Kaledon Fortis: trooper with power fists
  • Kaledon Fortis: female medic
  • Kaledon Fortis: demolitions expert
  • Kaledon Fortis: HQ officer
  • Some industrial scatter terrain for Stack City (started) Anything that doesn't get made in March can be rolled onto April :) Drop your thoughts in the comments below! Miniature Monday, 27th Feb Feb is a short month and I can't believe it's nearly over already, but there's one more release still to come :) What can you expect on Monday?
  • Command Centre for Kaledon Fortis: This is being made with the structural pieces from the APC (released last month) with a module set to allow you to place it on the ground. It will have terminals and computers, so data about the battle can be communicated :) If you like this structure, it could become another 'base' terrain kit, like the shipping containers, which gives us more room inside for conversions.
  • Kaledon Fortis Commander We've had sergeants in the past, but we need a proper commander for our army with a differentiated uniform. He should be finished by Monday! Outlaws for March You can see some screenshots of the finished Outlaws attached to this post :) They're being print tested at the moment. Should we do a set of female outlaws next? Exotic Beast Merchant for March I'm not sure exactly how she'll turn out - we could have gone in a few directions with her. We wanted her to be 'wannabe fancy' like our noble characters, but she's not quite there yet. Plus, she needs plenty of animal skins! Let us know what you think of the sketch. Thanks everyone! Speak to you soon; we'll be full steam ahead this weekend :D Kind regards, Gem

Habitation Unit Build Guide, Edited Colossus Parts, Plus Subscriber Requests!

Hi everyone, A few updates for you in this post :) 1. The Hab Unit Build Guide is finished The guide is done and has been uploaded in a zipped file to the Hab Unit on MMF, as well as uploaded to the Build Guide section of our Discord. Follow the guide to build yourself a tiny grimdark house, yay :D 2. Improved Colossus Files for Cab & Suspension Unit So we've been working on these for a while. The Colossus Cab is very large and can warp on some printers, so Andy has split it down into smaller segments. It now prints with less warping and saves some resin too! So if you're going to print any more Colossus versions, please redownload the files and use the new Cab set up. The Build Guide has been updated too. Also, we have hollowed out the Suspension piece for the Chassis (like the piece in the Bulwark tracks release from December), which saves more resin and reduces warping. Again, this is now reflected in the new zip folder on MMF for the Colossus, and in the Build Guide. 3. Industrial Slave Ogre Tools Separated A few weeks ago, a subscriber requested that we make the tools for the Industrial Slave Ogres available separately for kitbashing. They have now been print tested and added to that kit on My Mini Factory. These minis were released last month. 4. Headless Mech Pilot Option Same as above, a subscriber asked for a version of the Mech Pilot, which is designed to fit in the Iron Stalker mechs, to have a headless version so you can use other heads from previous Kaledon Fortis kits. We've now done that and uploaded the extra version to that kit on My Mini Factory. The mech pilot is also now part of the Iron Stalker set. These models were released last month too. That's it for updates! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for February :)

Hi everyone,

  1. Shipping Container Habitation Unit We're so excited to release our Hab Unit today! Many people have requested an apartment/ hab for Stack City, and today we have provided :D I love this kit so much! Check out the renders of the fully detailed interior with a bed, desk, stove and more, and the exterior complete with a side opening door, removeable roof pieces and window boxes haha. Also, I just want to reiterate one of those points - the container sections now have fully removeable roof pieces so you can peak inside! The kit containers 30 pieces and works with the original shipping container kit too, plus with all our past container conversions :) Maybe the Rot Water Bar has a desk and chair for doing the books? Or you can add a some comfy beds to the Medicant Station? Or some extra cooking surfaces for the Charred Rat Grill?
  2. Colossus APC Troopers These troopers are designed to go with the Bulwark APC, which you can now find on our store. If you're a subscriber, you only need the Upgrade version without the base Colossus, since that miniature is in our welcome pack :) You can use your 50% discount code too! The troopers will also work without the APC kit. There are seats in the normal Colossus, and they could sit on the edge of the platform. Plus, the poses on the side of the vehicle would work great with the regular Colossus or the Line Breaker walkways. Have fun with your new minis! I'll be working on a Build Guide for the Hab Unit this week :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP catch up post :)

Hi everyone, I wanted to start this post by running a future idea by you. We would like to run a crowdfunder this year :) Crowdfunder Thoughts We're currently looking at collaborating with an extra sculptor on the monthly terrain & vehicles, which will allow us to keep a better schedule of releases for our subscribers, and also have a little additional time to work on some crowd funder ideas. The reason we'd like to do a crowd funder is because there are some extra items we'd like to add to our past shipping container kits. Many of you have suggested great ideas of extra things to add, but it's hard to do that within the monthly subscription because it means providing items for people who may not own those past container kits. It's a bit confusing and a little unfair, since new people will have to buy old kits to even use their new minis. We've gone back and forth about it, but it doesn't feel quite right to do it that way. So, we realised we can do it via a crowd funder! There would be a 'complete' tier which includes the past container kits, and then a 'new stuff' tier for any subscribers who already have the past kits, so you just get the new items & stretch goals. We'd also like to do NPCs for the container kits, but again, they're not as appealing/ applicable to everyone as 'fighting' characters are, so they're harder to work into the monthly releases in any meaningful way. It's a bit of a business risk to swap our 'gang slot' for a group of NPCs drinking at the Rot Water Bar, for example. Having a low uptake month on the Patreon & Tribe could mean we struggle to pay ourselves and our sculptors. So we would do a crowd funder with these 3 container kits - the 'food market':

  • Rot Water Bar
  • Charred Rat Grill
  • 'Gribble Shack' (still needs to be officially named) We can add updated signs with logos, and more items for the containers. Maybe even smaller versions of takeaway food to work with market stalls, as if the owners have a pop-up shop at the Trading Post market. We can also add NPC characters - bar patrons, corpse trawlers (bringing 'protein' to the Gribble Shack), children working as rat catchers, etc - so much fun to be had here! So - my question to you is:
  • What extra items and characters would you like to see added to those 3 kits? Tell us your ideas below! We're in the very early planning stages of a crowd funder, so now is the time to put in your requests haha :D Monthly Updates 1. Kaledon Fortis APC Troops Attached to this post are renders for our APC troops. We released the Bulwark APC kit last month, and it'll be on our store soon. These troops were made to go with that kit, but they will also work with the normal Colossus. There are:
  • modular Sitting Poses for the seats in the back of the APC
  • a new gunner for the turrets in the back (works with Line Breaker turret too)
  • a male & female trooper Standing Pose for the outside of the APC Those models will be released on Monday - they've finished on the printer, I just need to clean them up! We'll also share renders next week of the troops in situ on the APC so you can see how they work with the kit :)
  1. Outlaws x5 (modular kit) You can see the finished t-poses and five head options for the modular kit of undercity outlaws, who you can recruit to your gang. They will be provided as modular heads/ arms/ torsos/ legs so you can make a large group with the parts :) Their weapons will be sculpted next week, and then they can be posed, so we'll keep you updated. That's it for now. Have a great weekend, everyone! Kind regards Gem

6 Month Loyalty Reward Released - Ethium Pipes!

Hi everyone, The 6 Month Loyalty Reward is now completed and available to everyone who has earned it :D Check your MMF library to make sure it's there! You earn the reward for cumulative months, so if you miss months here and there, you will continue to build up your months as soon as you rejoin us. After 6 total months, you earn the Ethium Pipes. This reward directly adds to our 3 Month Loyalty Reward - Ethium Containers. You can use the two kits together. With the 9 and 12 month rewards, we will complete the full Ethium Terrain Kit :D We hope to see many more of you reach the 6 month reward soon! Kind regards Gem PS - We renamed the kits from Promethium to Ethium to be more respectful of certain IPs.

Miniature Monday 2/4 for February! The Bitter Nightshades 2 :)

Hi everyone, The Bitter Nightshades 2 are now out! They printed great and turned out to be a really fun kit :D The ladies are more muscled, with extra armour and bigger weapons to really intimidate the other gangs in Stack City. You can grab them from your My Mini Factory library now :) Some updates - The Kaledon Fortis troop poses for the Bulwark APC (released last month) are finished, so I'll be print testing them this week. We've decided what Andy will be making for February, starting with a hotly requested terrain kit - a Habitation Unit. Our shipping container will be turned into a mini apartment :D It's going to be an awesome diorama kit! That will come out next week - hopefully. There's also another terrain kit and a couple of extra characters for the Kaledon Fortis (incl. a Commander) on the list for this month, if we can fit them in. Finally, the 6 month reward is finished and will be released tomorrow :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a great week so far and are looking forward to the weekend! There's not too much to update you on at the moment. The main thing is that Andy has almost finished sculpting the 6, 9 and 12 month royalty rewards :D Since we got 2 months behind with the 6 month reward, we decided it was best to complete them all at once haha. The 6 month reward is - Promethium Pipes. I have attached renders of that reward to this post, where they are interacting with the Promethium Containers (our 3 month reward). We've decided that all 4 loyalty rewards will belong to one large Promethium Kit, so you can collect the whole set! Remember - our loyalty rewards are ++cumulative NOT consecutive.++ So you can unsubscribe for a month here and there, and keep adding to your loyalty months every time you rejoin us :) We hope you like the pipe kit! Quick updates - The Bitter Nightshades 2 are being print tested this weekend for release on Monday, and they're looking epic :) When Andy has finished the loyalty rewards, he has plans for another Colossus upgrade that involves big guns. Is it too soon for doing that? We haven't decided the exact direction he should go in yet... Drop your wishes for Feb in the comments! Lorena is working on five unique Kaledon Fortis troop poses for the Bulwark APC - some seated and some firing guns from the platforms on the side. They should work with other things too, but are designed around the APC :) March sketches - The other update is for March - our modular gang next month is going to be for hireable mercenaries that live in the undercity picking up work for whatever gang will hire them. You can see the first sketch from Martina for the design of these guys attached to this post. They will be fully modular - heads, arms, legs and torso - so you can make a group of them :) We hope you like them! Kind regards Gem

The Colossus Bulwark APC Build Guide

Hi everyone, It's finished, woohoo :D Thanks for your patience with me while I wrestled this guide into existence haha. What a kit, phew! This is a really cool mini and I'm so excited for you print and build it. You can download the Build Guide from this Patreon post, our Discord and from the object itself on MMF. I have added 3 missed files to the APC zipped folder on MMF, so please redownload. Sorry about that! For any new people joining us this month, the Bulwark APC is an extensive upgrade kit for the Colossus to turn it into an armed APC. It was released last month. It's a very modular kit and fully compatible with the Line Breaker kit and the Bulwark Tracks kit. You need the original Colossus to form the base for it, which is in our welcome pack :) The Bulwark APC will be on our store next week, so look out for the announcement post. Then you can grab that kit with your subscriber discount and build this beast! Happy printing, Gem

Miniature Monday! 1/4 for February :D

Hi everyone, It's the first miniature monday of February, and we have eight miniatures ready for you!

  • Adjo x2: there's a grooming pose (renders revealed on this post), and a fighting pose for our Beast Trainer
  • Sand Sprinters x2
  • Simone, the Griller. Check out the Charred Rat Grill here.
  • Neofelis x3 - Bitter Nightshade gang pets The STLs have all been print tested and added to your MMF Library now, so make sure you head over there to download them. Also, remember that our Welcome Pack has been completely updated this month, so download any models you don't already own :) Oh, and grab the Throwback Pack too! A few updates... At the moment, I'm working on the Bulwark APC Build Guide. It's a big kit! So it's taking a while to put that together, but I expect it'll be out in the next few days. Andy has also split the Colossus Cab into smaller sections to reduce warping, and that's in the print testing phase right now. If you haven't printed the Colossus yet, probably hold on for the updated files this month :) Finally, if you haven't received your 3 month reward yet, don't worry. I'll be updating that MMF group tomorrow :) Also, Andy has nearly finished the 6 month reward - Promethium Pipes, so they'll come to me for print testing soon. They interface with the Poison Workshop pipes as an added bonus :D Thank you so much for your support! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Update Post - dead rats, big bugs and kitties :D

Hi everyone, We have some models for February finished, which will be print tested this weekend ready to release on Monday 6th :) Simone This is our griller character for the Charred Rat Grill, released in December. She works great on her own as a chef character, but works especially well in our shipping container terrain kit, which is now on the store :D Check out the Charred Rat logo on her back haha, and the little pouch of spices ready to add some seasoning to the delicious rat burgers! Neofelis Next Monday (13th Feb) will see the release of our Bitter Nightshades gang, and our ladies are partial to cat-like creatures, so what better accompaniment to their own ferocious power than the Neofelis! These prehistoric looking felines are imported off-world in the illegal pet trade specifically for the Nightshades, who have a monopoly on them. Deadly, loyal and full of sass, they're a must have for our gals :D Adjo - the Beast Trainer The Erroish Tribe live out in the harsh wasteland deserts surrounding Stack City and covering a large portion of the planet, Mortuus Secunda. In order to thrive, they rely on the native desert animals. These insect-like creatures require a high skill level to tame them from birth. Adjo is one of the revered 'beast trainers' who work with the Stenobeasts (which are ridden by Erroish warriors) and the new Sand Sprinters, which I'll talk about in a moment. We have 2 poses for Adjo. A warrior pose yelling 'charge' and sending his critters into battle, and a care pose polishing their chitinous scales. That pose is to be revealed on Monday as it's not quite finished yet! Sand Sprinters These heavily armoured speedy creatures are perfect for sending into battle. They are low to the ground and fast, enabling them to sneak up on the gang's enemies esp. during sand storms. They are horned and spiky, and specialise in immobilising vehicles. In the future, we will also sculpt versions that are fitted with weapons! There are 2 poses to be released on Monday - a male and a female beast. I hope you like all these models :D Kind regards Gem

Welcome Pack Reboot and new Throwback Pack released!

Hi everyone, This month I've overhauled the Welcome Pack to include some different models, just to keep things varied and interesting for new and old subscribers alike :) I've kept the Colossus and Shipping Container, which are the basis of many terrain and vehicle units we create from month to month, so they're essential to be in the Welcome Pack. Then I've swapped out everything else! We now have Josefina from our fancy line of characters, Gabriel from our bounty hunters, and Skifter from our stack city characters. The Weather Shaman from the Erroish and four of our Special Weapons troopers from the Kaledon Fortis army. Plus, I've included our Medicant Station terrain kit with Ezrin, our doctor character :) There is also a new Throwback Pack with one of my absolute favourite terrain creations from before we ventured to Mortuus Secunda - the vending machines!! So cute haha. There's also our badass Heluvik miners, which suit the grimdark planet we're exploring now. Perhaps they can work in the bowels of Stack City with the Ogres from last month? Then finally, our Well Runner vehicle kit! Andy has made some amazing vehicles over our two years running the subscription, and this kit is brilliant. You can make a small and heavy version with the same kit, and it has a huge drill on the back - what's cooler than that? :P I've added those models to your MMF library now, and the first new STLs for February will be out on Monday 6th! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 4b out of 4 for January :) The APC is finally done!!

Hi everyone, Phew, what a weekend! The Colossus Bulwark - APC Upgrade is a 44 piece kit, which has now been finished, fully supported and print tested over the last 48 hours :) There were also 8 resupports today to get the fit as perfect as possible, with a new and improved orientation for all the ramp parts & front cab section. The printer are actually still running with duplicate parts so we can build a full APC to show off soon! A Build Guide will be available this week - I'm going to start working on it tomorrow, but I think it'll be fairly long as the kit is detailed, so give me a few days haha. The guide will be added to the product on MMF (and our Discord), so don't worry if you unsubscribe for Feb because you'll still receive it :) If you want to get printing before then however, you'll need at least one of every part, so that's a good place to begin. Attached to this post you'll find a new set of renders that Andy did (offical renders coming tomorrow) to show off the modularity and different options with this kit. The inside is also fully detailed and looks amazing with the turrets in place! The crew hatch on the cab has working hinges, and the rear panel for the vehicle flips down with an extendable ramp for our troops to disembark. We'll do a team of guys for the APC next month :) These parts are all compatible with other Colossus kits, so you can use the platform railings from the original vehicle, the ram front from the Line Breaker, or the tank tracks to create your own unique version! Finally, the Mech Pilot for the walkers is finished and has been added to MMF too. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, Time for some updates! Firstly, I just want to express how sorry I am that the Bulwark APC won't be coming out until Monday. Andy's been struggling with his health again, and it's making his sculpting slower than normal. However, everything should be finished and out by the end of the month, and hopefully it will have been worth the wait :) With this third Colossus iteration, we're really growing our convoy! The mech pilot will be out on Monday too - you can see a WIP t-pose of him attached to this post gallery. It's a new variation on the classic Kaledon Fortis uniform. I've also attached a printed pic of the Slave Ogres, which I love so much! I'm painting one of them right now, so I'll share some pics in our Discord (if he turns out okay haha). February collection previews

  1. Attached to this post, you can see the t-poses for the Bitter Nightshades 2. What do you think? We've made them more muscular, added additional armour, but kept their punk rock style! There are also some sketches for their heavier weapons.
  2. The beast for our Beast Tamer character, who will be part of the Erroish Tribe, has a sketch concept too. This is a different style to the Stenobeasts, but hopefully still has that insect/ desert feeling :) I think for a pose we could have our Tamer polishing the bug's scales. I know that most poses tend to be more confrontational because the models are used in combat games, but I thought this could be a nice change. What do you think? That's everything for our updates! I know it's a bit of a shorter post, and this month has been a series of delays, but we're hoping to be back on track during February. Thank you so much for your support and patience :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - 4/4 'Part A' for January ;)

Hi everyone, Today, we are releasing the pre-supported versions of our Industrial Slave Ogres, which we hope to add to over time, creating ogres for the Kaledon Fortis army too. For now, these guys are 'employed' in Stack City's industrial sector, doing the hard manual labour that requires endurance and strength. There are a couple of versions of each ogre, depending on how you want the helmet to be worn :) We hope you like them! We're super excited about this line. Secondly, you'll find a crawling Sewer Monster pose added to the folder on MMF. I think this pose would be great to add into a diorama, crawling along the sewer floor, perhaps using some resin water effect! ++Colossus - Bulwark APC Update++ This model is almost done! The kit turned out to be bigger than Andy intended haha, with turret options for the APC back and full interior detail, so he needs a few more days to finish it. However, we've provided some renders of where it's currently at :) There will be some more details and scatter for the inside, and some extra options for the outside, and then the kit can be pre-supported. We expect it to be out by the end of this week, or at the latest on Monday. We'll keep you in the loop as it progresses though. ++Mech Pilot Update++ This model is progressing nicely, but as sometimes happens, life gets in the way and Lorena needs a few more days too :) He'll be released asap and again, I'll keep you in the loop. It's a new troop design for the Kaledon Fortis, so I'm excited to see what everyone thinks! Thank you so much for your support and patience :) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP Update Post :) Ladies, bug tamers & ogres!

Hi everyone, In this week's update post, I want to start by showing you the progress made on our Industrial Slave Ogres. Lorena is just sculpting a few small accessories - bombs & grenades - which you can optionally add to the models, and then they're done! Ogre 1 comes as 3 versions depending on how you want the helmet, and Ogre 1 also has a helmet on & off version :) They are NOT modular, because with bulky models that have machinery attached it's a real pain to make them modular. It limits poses and adds more complexity. We do it for all our gangs, but have decided to make the Slave Ogres non-modular, and we'll just make lots of them over time (if people like them). Please don't be too mad ;) We can also do some ogres in the ranks of our Kaledon Fortis army, instead of working in the industrial sector of Stack City, if you like? Colossus Bulwark Kit - This kit is going to be quite big, so we'll release it in 2 parts with the first coming on Monday 23rd and the other part on Fri 27th in an off-schedule release. Monday's kit will turn the back of the Colossus into a troop APC! February's Models Martina has started to sketch the characters for next month. First up, you can see a sketch of the Bug Tamer for the Erroish Tribe. There will be a bug too, of course. A note about the sketch - the bandages on the bottom of the backpack look too much like toilet roles haha, so they're going to be swapped for a gun strapped there instead :P You can also see the first sketch of the gang expansion for our Bitter Nightshades! The ladies will be modular and compatible with the first gang kit released, but these gals will be carrying heavier weapons, so they are a bit more muscular and a little bit more armoured. Hope you like them! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for January :) Monsters, mechs and machinations!

Hi everyone, Today, we're releasing the second part of our Iron Stalker kit - the total kit now includes 8 weapons, 7 accessories, 2 different legs and 2 different cab designs! This means you can now make a lot of different walkers for your army :) Those new files have been added in an extra 'expansion' zip folder to the Iron Walker store entry! We're also releasing Benedict, the Bounty Hunter, and our Sewer Monster! What's still to come in January? We're hoping to release all these files next Monday, but it's possible that a couple might be later. It's been a bit of a catch up month after Christmas!

  • Industrial slave ogres x2
  • Mech pilot (Kaledon Fortis)
  • Armoured truck upgrade for Colossus Bulwark
  • Sewer Monster pose 2 Super excited to share more models with you next week :D Updated on the WIP to be shared on Friday as usual. Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday! A WIP update post :) Fancy fashion & sewer monsters!

Hi everyone, To start today's post, I have some finished models to share with you, which will be print tested this weekend for release on Monday! Benedict - Bounty Hunter I really love the fancy baroque style of our Bounty Hunter Cressida, who is in the Welcome Pack, and so I wanted a male counterpart for her. Enter Benedict! He can often be seen working with Cressida to bring in a dangerous bounty, entering every encounter with the arrogant confident of only the truly rich, who know they can buy their way out of anything, perhaps even death. You can see a couple of renders attached to this post of Benedict, and the two wealthy hunters together. Hope you like him! Sewer Monster What use is a bounty hunter without a bounty? This month our creature is a terrifying monster from the sewers below Stack City, a gargantuan beast of man-eating proportions! It's been nibbling on too many of the undercities inhabitants, and our fancy duo have been hired to dispatch it. You can see a render of the beast, and our monster facing off against Benedict for scale! Industrial Slave Ogres Lorena has made a start on these guys, with an initial sketch to get an idea of their appearance, and a couple of items finished so far. The pair will be completed next week (hopefully) for release on the 23rd Jan. The sketch is an early WIP phrase, but hopefully you like where we're going with these characters :) Iron Stalkers - part 2 Andy is almost finished with the remainder of the Iron Stalker mech kit, which includes an additional:

  • 4 guns with ammo packs
  • 2 melee weapon
  • a sensor cap to go in the arm socket if you just want one weapon
  • a new barred hatch design
  • new set of heavy legs I can't wait to share this kit with you on Monday!! That's it for updates this week. We're planning out February's collection at the moment, so I'll run some thoughts by you next week :) Kind regards Gem

A Note About Loyalty Rewards

Hi everyone, So, I've just updated access to the loyalty rewards on MMF - covering anyone who subscribed towards the end of December, and those who have renewed/ subscribed at the beginning of January! :) How do the loyalty rewards work? Our loyalty reward system was refreshed in July 2022, with our change of theme and scale. We're creating all new 3, 6, 9 month rewards and only counting subscribers since then. Last month I changed the way that we count subscribers, so we now work on a cumulative monthly system, not consecutive. Basically, that means to earn the 3 month reward, you simply need to subscribe to us for 3 months ++in total++, and those month's do NOT have to be back-to-back. If you leave us for a month or two, and then come back, your loyalty months will keep adding up so you can earn the next reward :D Speaking of the next reward... 6 month reward Those of you that have been with us for a while will know that getting the releases finished each month is tight. Andy puts lot of detail and effort into his models (he makes all our vehicles, robots & terrain), and so they take a lot of working hours to complete. Usually, he only just finishes his monthly projects within the 30 days, and so adding another miniature to that workload is hard to do. We're so very sorry about this - I wish we could work faster, but everyone has their limit :( Anyway, the point is, the 6 month reward - which was due last month - is still being finished. It WILL be finished and I have already added a placeholder object to MMF and shared access to anyone who has been with us for 6 months. We just ask humbly for your patience :)


That's it for reward updates. You should have a redeem email for the Promethium Containers if you are due them. Any issues, drop me a message! Thank you so much for supporting us :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - 2/4 releases for January :) Iron Stalker Kit!

Hi everyone, Today we've released the Iron Stalker Kit for the Kaledon Fortis army! However, Andy ran out of time to add a few extra pieces: at least one more leg pose, two additional weapons and some other accessories. They will come out and be added to the kit next Monday, along with the Kaledon Fortis mech driver :) For now though, almost the whole kit is finished and has been added to My Mini Factory. Plus, a Build Guide so you can see how to assemble it. We hope you like it! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post!

Hi everyone, The first week of January 2023 is coming to an end. And weirdly, I don't have much to talk about in this update post! We'll start with the screenshot attached - this is the final character Martina is making for Jan's collection, having already done our Stack City Enforcers and Tolliver the Bar Keeper. This final character is a fancy Bounty Hunter and I'd imagined him to be a friend of Cressida, one of our earlier Baroque-style hunters. We're going to tweak him a little to see if he looks better with or without a beard, and I was wondering if he should have a servo skull like Cressida? If so, where should we attach it? Finally, if you have any thoughts on his pose, let me know :) I like the idea of him standing back-to-back with Cressida in some sort of side shooting stance, but we're open to suggestions! WIP this month So Andy is really close to finishing the mech walkers for our Kaledon Fortis army, which will be released on Monday. But he didn't want to preview anything here as he believes his WIP doesn't look as good as the finished model, and he'd rather that be a surprise haha. Lorena has started sketching her ideas for the ogre slaves, so I'll probably have some WIP pics for you next Friday. Next month's ideas So that leaves some ideas for next month to bounce off you :) It seems that the Bitter Nightshades were popular and we've had questions already if we're going to carry them on, which is amazing! Someone commented about creating some really beefy women for the gang, and I did intend to expand on the core group with some heavier weapons and more poses, so that's a good option for Feb - some beefy Nightshades. We also have some cat-like creatures to go with the Nightshades gang, which will be coming out too. I'm aware that it might be good to add to our Erroish group, and I wondered about a Beast Master character? Someone to train the Stenobeasts for being ridden. We can also create an NPC chef for the Charred Rat Grill. We'll add some more characters to the Kaledon Fortis army - I was thinking of people like a demolitions expert, and a commander, possibly another medic in a different pose? For terrain, we hope to return to Stack City and add an expansion to that kit, maybe columns and bridges? We'll see! Then I don't know if Andy will be inspired to do another container conversion kit - our plans are to develop a trade market next (after having just focused on food for the last couple of times) with something like an arms dealer. Alternatively, maybe he'll want to tackle a wasteland vehicle - something smaller than the Colossus, like bikes or a buggy. This all remains to be seen at the moment :) Let me know if you have any ideas for February's collection in the comments below! Abd that's it for updates; sorry it was so picture-less. I think we're all just ramping up to full speed again after the holiday season :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! 1 our of 4 releases for January :)

Hi everyone, It's the first Miniature Monday of the month, woohoo! I know it's on Tuesday because of the New Year though ;) For our release today, we have our City Watch Police Enforcers, patrolling the undercity and cracking down on crime. This modular kit allows you to build a diverse team of men and women. We also have Tolliver, the Bar Keeper for Rot Water Bar (or your own prestigious establishment) with his robotic beer arm haha :P I hope you like these models and are excited to print them and add them to your tabletop. If you haven't already, please join our Discord where you can share your printed & painted pics, and just chat in general about our wonderful hobby: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49. See you there! The STLs are all ready to download from your library now, but let me know if you have any issues. Thank you so much :) Kind regards Gem

Throwback Pack and Welcome Pack Released!

Hi everyone, I've now released our Welcome Pack to all new subscribers, as well as our new Throwback Pack! I chose to feature:

  • The Samurai Combat Robots from March 2021's Tekano Corp collection
  • The Casino Staff from April 2021's Broken Chip Casino collection
  • The Intruder Gunship from June 2022's Bounty Hunter collection They have been added to your MMF library as individual objects, not as a single pack, to avoid me uploading them to the server a second time, so just be aware of that when you look for them to download :) All our past releases, before July 2022, are in 36mm normal scale (as opposed to our current scale of 28mm heroic). I hope you enjoy these bonus miniatures and are excited for the first release of the year on the grimdark planet of Mortuus Secunda! Kind regards Gem

Charred Rat Build Guide, pre-supported files, release schedule & Happy New Year!

Hi everyone, Just a quick update for you today :) For everyone who subscribed to us in December, I've now added the pre-supported STLs for the Charred Rat Grill to the object folder on MMF, so they should be in your library for downloading now! I also spent all day doing the Charred Rat Build Guide, and have added that to MMF too, as well as posted it in our Discord. This means you can get started printing the latest addition to Stack City straight away, yay! Thank you so much to everyone who subscribed to us during December, and to those of you that have chosen to stay with us for the first month of 2023. Happy New Year :D January Release Schedule I'm a bit exhausted after a late night and then doing the Build Guide today, so I haven't had time to sort out the Throwback Pack for January. I'll do that first thing in the morning though. I think I'll also rotate a couple of models out of the Welcome Pack and add some new ones. What do you guys think? As for the first release of January, the City Watch gang kit and Tolliver the bar keeper will be coming out most likely on Tuesday 3rd Jan to give subscription payments an extra day to clear and allow me a little more time to test print the models. They're supported - they just need to run through the printers tomorrow :) Loyalty Rewards, Discount Code etc In regards to the change of month jobs, like releasing the latest discount code, getting the previous month's collection on the store, and processing the loyalty reward earners for December & Jan, I will be doing that asap next week. Andy is going to work on the 6 Month Loyalty Reward too. I'm so very sorry he didn't get it finished in December! Anyone who earned that loyalty reward in December will get the Promethium Pipes awarded as soon as possible, and anyone who has just reached 6 months of cumulative membership (since the theme change in July 2022) will also get the pipes :) I think that's it for updates - any questions, pop them in the comments. Thank you so much! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday Post - the Charred Rat Grill, an epic Kaledon Fortis video, and previews for Jan!

Hi everyone, Firstly, we're so excited to collaborate with Troy from the FacilityD20 YouTube channel. He creates really exciting and informative videos about 3D printing and painting, and I reached out a few months ago to work together. We don't often get the chance to paint our models, so I hoped a painting video would be inspiring and fun for everyone :D Turns out, he wanted to do a video printing some Cadia Stands proxies and since we have a similar line of models with our Kaledon Fortis army, the timing worked out perfectly! Check it out > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcfykxF3UI8 In this video, he prints and then paints a whole set of our troops using the Slap Chop method, and it works great :) I think I'll try it as well and share results in the Discord. It takes me ages to paint minis, so I'm looking forward to a nice looking short cut haha. Anyway, please watch the video and subscribe to his channel, if you can :) He was amazing to work with and we have a Part 2 coming out where he adds our models to a huge diorama, yay. Charred Rat Grill Thank you so much for your patience with this kit, everyone :) We're eternally grateful for the slack you often cut us on timings! Hopefully, it was worth the wait as the Grill is such a fun kit. Check out the renders and let us know what you think in the comments. I'm currently supporting and test printing the parts right now, but it's a beefy kit so they will be released tomorrow or on the 1st-2nd Jan. Anyone who subscribes during December will get access to this kit though. In fact, I've added the blank object to everyone's library now, so I will just add the zipped file of STLs as soon as the pre-supports are finished :D January Plans! Okay, so this is what January's looks like:

  • Full modular set of City Watch Enforcers x8 (male and female options)
  • Tolliver, the Barkeeper (to go with our Rot Water Bar)
  • Mech Walkers x2 for the Kaledon Fortis army
  • Colossus Bulwark Part 2 - Armoured Truck Upgrade
  • Industrial Ogre Slaves x2 (can be added to your gang)
  • Bounty Hunter character
  • Sewer Monster Hopefully they sound like fun additions to our Mortuus Secunda world and you continue to support us in 2023 :) Happy New Year, everyone! Kind regards Gem, Andy & the PM team

File Improvements Based on Feedback :)

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas! We hope you all had an amazing holiday season! Today, I just wanted to release some improved files where we've fixed mistakes that were noticed by our subscribers in the Discord :) 1. Katja's Gun With this gun, Martina accidently sculpted a barrel that didn't match the bullet type - it was too large to make any sense. Plus, people pointed out that the torch on top of the gun was too large and would make it hard to aim. The torch would likely be carried instead, or attached underneath the gun. So, we have redone the gun by narrowing the barrel and removing the torch. It looks much better now and we hope you prefer it too! You can see the before and after attached to this post. 2. Holster Position for Kaledon Fortis There are two Kaledon Fortis poses from the Heavy Battery kit that have a holstered pistol, and we originally placed this holster with the handle of the gun facing forwards for a cross draw. However, subscribers pointed out that with the heavy armour of the Kaledon Fortis troops, a cross draw would be awkward. It's also slower in battle, and risks pulling the gun across the body before being able to fire, which would increase the possibility of friendly fire. These are all excellent points that Lorena & I didn't consider! So we've flipped the holster on these two body poses:

  • Getting Ammo body
  • Howitzer Operator body You can see the before and after attached to this post.

These three new files have been added to MMF to replace the original ones, so you can simply re-download the zipped files to get the improved models :) Thanks for the feedback, everyone, and so sorry for the mistakes! Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday! WIP Updates and Merry Christmas :)

Hi everyone, First of all, Merry Christmas! We're all super excited at the Print Minis HQ for the seasonal celebrations, spending time with family and on hobbies, and most importantly, eating until one feels ill :P We hope you all have an amazing Christmas, and THANK YOU so much for supporting us this year :D Right, time for some updates! Bar Keeper Martina has finished the Bar Keeper - who we are naming Tolliver, after a subscriber request :) He has a robotic arm for pouring people's drinks and a beer gut for realism haha! His pose is one of listening to a patron's woes :) Tolliver is coming out next month. City Watch Enforcers Another future release is our modular set of City Watch officers, the police of Stack City. Please check out the uniform design and let us know what you think. We went with high shoulder pads for an intimidating looks, but let us know if it's too much :) Also, the different body options show a male & female form, and each one is unique in terms of accessories. They are unposed at the moment. We're also going to provide modular heads and a helmeted head, so you can choose to have them ready for battle or just patrolling the undercity (so no helmet needed). The City Watch is coming out next month. Meat Grill Container Andy has made a start on this kit, blocking out some parts ready to carry on after Boxing Day, but if you have any ideas for what you would like to see in this kit, let us know! The Meat Grill will complete our 'food court' adding to the Gribble slopper kit (Food Truck) and the Rot Water Bar, so if there are any indoor or outdoor accessories that you would like to see added to the Food Court / Meat Grill, now is the time to suggest them :D The Meat Grill is coming out on Fri 30th Dec. A Monster from the Deep Finally, we are creating a sewer monster for the city! Attached to this post is a block our for the design - but do you like it with the nose, or without the nose? We can't decide lol :P The monster will either be out in January or February. That's it for updates! Please drop your ideas & responses in the comments below and have an amazing Christmas :) Kind regards, Gem, Andy, & the Team x

A Collaboration with Tesseract Tomb :) Free Gift!

Hi everyone, We're really excited to announce our second collaboration with Tesseract Tomb today! We love his style and the December release is particularly fun, offering a motorpool of wasteland vehicles :) In fact, he has shared one of those vehicles with us today - the Outrider Buggy - which is perfect for traversing the Brinkland deserts with your gang. That file has been added to your MMF library now. You can check out the rest of his vehicles by following the links below :) Now let's hear directly from Tesseract Tomb! "Need some civilian vehicles for your table or some rides for your gang? Tesseract Tomb got you covered! For this month he designed three vehicles that can either serve as terrain or playable miniatures, the choice is yours. The two cars come with swappable weapon options. All files are ready for resin printing with supports and hollowed out parts.
Tesseract Tomb designs larger sets of themed miniatures and terrain that fit together on the table. Each month either a new theme is revealed or an older one is revisited and expanded upon. The current goal is to design a whole industrial sector with machines, vehicles and buildings to fill a 6x4 table with it.
If you like his design go check out his Patreon: patreon.com/TesseractTomb
If you don't like subscriptions you can get the files in his store as well: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-motorpool-of-the-wasteland-261855"

Miniature Monday! 3/4 for December. Tracks, thieves & beers!

Hi everyone, It's another exciting Monday with four different releases :D The models have been added to your MMF Library so any issues, just let me know! 1. Colossus Bulwark - Part 1 This is part 1 of the new vehicle upgrade - the tank tracks. They're also modular! The tracks print in three parts, so you can print as many of the middle section as you like to fit the length of your vehicle :) If you check out the renders, you can see there's a version with armour panels, and you can also mix track & tires for a unique look. There's a new Chassis piece in the kit, but the tracks will also slip onto the existing Chassis for your Colossus. The track kit is fully compatible with all parts of the Colossus and Colossus Line Breaker. Part 2 - Armoured Truck will come in January! 2. Kaledon Fortis Off-Duty Diorama This is our Christmas scene, with four troops chilling out together around a BBQ :) The troops are sitting on the armoured crates from the Heavy Battery Kit, but you can sit them on anything. The arms and heads are modular, so you can mix and match with previous Kaldeon Fortis kits (as much as the poses will allow anyway). 3. Christmas Skifter This character turned out fun! He's only appropriate for December, but it's nice to have a festive themed mini :) He is provided with the railing if you want to add him to your own scenery, but he's also posed to hang off Stack City (those two past terrain kits are on our store here and here). 4. Cyberhounds x2 Finally, I've released the extra poses for the Cyber Hound by adding them to the existing MMF entry. So if you head back to that folder, you'll see the new download for 'Extra Cyberhounds', to provide a trusty trio!


We have one final release for December, which will be a little delayed since the next Miniature Monday is on Boxing Day. I'll keep you in the loop as to when that set will be released, but I imagine around the 30th December to give us a little bit of time off over the holidays. Thank you so much :) Kind regards Gem

A Collaboration with 2nd Dynasty! Free Gifts :)

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to share a new collaboration with you today. This month, we've done a gift swap with the incredible 2nd Dynasty, who create 28mm sci-fi miniatures over on their MMF Tribe. They also have a crowd funder going at the moment for a massive FDM starship, the Beowolf Free Trader! For our collaboration, 2nd Dynasty are sharing several free STLs and a free trial to their MMF Tribe for December with our subscribers! All you have to do is follow the link and fill out the Google Form to provide your email address :) Ben will then give you access to the trial and free gifts! Get access to your free gifts: https://forms.gle/vPpcBjPhDvN7kda46


Let's here directly from 2nd Dynasty "Hi, Ben here, from 2nd Dynasty. We are on our final day of unlocking milestones for the massive Free Trader Beowulf, the largest 3D printable starship we have ever designed. 28mm scale, this baby is 5.25 kg (PLA on FDM), 83 cm (2’8”) from bow to keel, and an officially licensed Traveller RPG design, with a 45-year pedigree! It assembles gluelessly with the OpenLOCK clip system and features stacking decks that you can unstack on the tabletop at game time. This might be the most epic 3D printable you might get your hands on, and yet, if it seems overwhelming or breaking the budget, why not try something far smaller! We are happy to announce a free Trial for the remainder of December for all Print Minis fans! This includes a 40% discount on the MMF store, our welcome pack including our 28mm Landing Shuttle, Hanger Set, the incredible Stinger aerospace craft, and brand-new Firefly starfighter. Don’t like the Tribes? No problem, just unsubscribe before December 31st, no hard feelings! Season’s greetings!"

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post!

Hi everyone, Time for some updates :) 1. Troops Off Duty The Kaledon Fortis troops diorama is coming along really well :D We have the non-Christmas version finished (individual poses attached to this post), but we'll make some tweaks to create a Christmas version next by adding presents and Christmas hats! Hopefully it looks okay - if not, we'll just stick with one version haha. 2. Cyber Hound Pack We have also created 2 extra poses for our Cyber Hounds to make a trio of three doggos :) The original one goes really well with Katja, and the other two can then added to support her for more power in the undercity! 3. Christmas city runner The Christmas city runner version is done, so he'll be released on Monday. You'll have to wait until then to see what he looks like ;) 4. Colossus Tracks Upgrade Andy is just finishing off the tracks for the Colossus today and they look so cool :D He's also designed them modular, so you can make them as long or short as you like, and mix track sections with tire section for ultimate customisability. We're going to be working on the armoured truck upgrade next month instead, as he needs to make the new 3 month reward and the Meat Grill for December too. Spreading it out like this makes sense because the two upgrades can work together or separately, and it allows him more time to really focus on each kit :) The tracks will be out on Monday! 5. January release - Bar Tender We have a rough sketch for the bartender for the Rot Water Bar kit, released last month. I wanted him to have a vaguely Vander feeling from Arcane, so hopefully his face will look a bit like that. Martina also imagined him to have a robot arm that can serve beer from a waist holster haha :P Too weird, or fun? Let us know any other thoughts for this character in the comments below :) 6. Blank Banner Bearer Finally, I have added a blank banner version of our Banner Bearer character from October to the MMF folder. If you redownload it, you can now print a version without our Kaledon Fortis logo so you can hand paint your own. This will only be available for people who were subscribed during October or have bought the model, not December subscribers. That's it for our weekly update, everyone. Cheers! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday - 2/4 for December :) Guns, troops and dogs!

Hi everyone, It's another Miniature Monday and I'm excited to release our Heavy Battery Guns & Troops for the Kaledon Fortis army! Heavy Battery Guns Firstly, we have our modular kit for three large emplaced weapons:

  • Field Gun
  • Howitzer Gun
  • Rocket Barrage You can make all three guns using the the set, with a little customisability in how you create each gun; for example, there are additional shield options, different choices for the gun legs and the ability to set your tilt angle for each weapon. Also within the kit are a set of accessories, which can be used on their own with the guns, or in tandem with our Kaledon Fortis troops. Kaledon Fortis Battery Team This is a highly modular kit, with 6 unique body poses - 3 troops to operate the guns, and 3 to add to your diorama - and many arm options. To add variety, you can mirror the poses before slicing and mix & match the arms to get even more troop options :) All the arms from previous kits also work with these new body poses. Plus, we have provided the head as modular with a helmet option and a helmet with an antenna in this kit. However, you could choose instead to use one of the heads with faces from last month. Future modular heads with more face options will also work with this kit. ---- There is a Build Guide for the guns on our Discord and with the download :) CyberHound Finally, to round out the release, we also have our cyberhound! This is Katja's companion when out and about in Stack City providing extra protection and important intel too. Since everyone was so positive about the design in the comments, we'll be adding more poses in the future so you can have a little pack! We hope you like this Monday's release ;) Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - a Weekly Update Post :) Christmas thieves & robot dogs!

Hi everyone, Sorry this post is a little late! Here are some weekly updates on how things are going at the Print Minis HQ: Christmas character So, we've decided not to make a new character - there were too many diverse opinions in the comments on what we should make, and we didn't want to disappoint anyone. So, based on a subscriber suggestion, we're doing a Christmas version of Skifter, the Stack City Runner! We have a new dynamic pose idea for him and some Christmas upgrades. The idea is that he's stealing presents from people, and running away from Katja, our Stack City Inspector. As well as his 'Christmas disguise' he will be carrying a sack of gifts on his back haha. Hope you like it! Cyber Hound Katja's trusty best friend is finished and on the printer today. You can see his design in the pictures attached to this post :) We did the dog without eyes because it seemed creepier and more intimidating! Martina also had the idea of doing a big version and mounting some of our Watch Enforcers on the cyber hounds haha - too crazy an idea, or just crazy enough? :P Heavy Battery Troops The Heavy Battery guns are finished - there will be three unique ones. I'm excited to share them with you! Andy's spent a lot of time on them, ensuring as much realism as possible and plenty of cool details :) Lorena is hard at work on the poses for our 6 Kaledon Fortis troopers (2 per gun), and I've included a couple of WIP poses. The one grabbing ammo needs to have the crate lid lowered to reach his hand, so Andy is adjusting that today. Also, the carrying ammo pose will have a version carrying a rocket too, and the arms are modular so you can choose instead to use a pair of arms covering his ears from the thunderous sound of the guns. It'll be a detailed troop kit and hopefully really fun to make some dioramas from :D That's it for the updates on where we're currently at! Next week, I'll talk to you about plans for January. Happy printing, Gem

3 Loyalty Reward Released & New Method!

Hi everyone, So I've just shared our Promethium Containers with the wonderful new subscribers who have earned them so far! :) I've also decided to change the way we track the rewards again. I was trying out a new system with the July change of theme, because new rewards allowed us to try a new method, but even 6 months later, people are still confused lol. Therefore, I have a new idea! I've figured out how to assign loyalty rewards for cumulative months, not consecutive months. So that means, once you've been with us for 3 ++total++ months, you earn the reward. If you need to unsubscribe for a month, it's not a problem because you 'bank' your previous months of membership, which continue to be added to once you join us again, instead of all your progress been lost (in a consecutive tracking system). This also means we'll have 3 month, 6 month, and 9 month rewards again. December is our 6th month with the new Mortuus Secunda theme, and so we will be designing a brand new loyalty reward. Anyone who is with us for 6 total months, can then earn it, even if there are gaps in between those months :) We hope this new method will be an incentive to regularly come back and join our Patreon to keep earning your membership months in order to get the next loyalty reward! 6 Month Reward - Promethium Pipes The 6 month reward will add to our containers with a modular pipe network. Andy hasn't started work on it yet, but will be doing so this month, so we'll keep you up to date on progress in our FYI Friday posts :) If you have an idea for the 9 month reward, which will also add to the Promethium theme, drop it in the comments below! We hope this system is finally simpler ;) Kind regards Gem & Andy

Miniature Monday! December 1/4 releases :D Gangs & Inspectors

Hi everyone, It's time for our first December release, which contains:

  • The Bitter Nightshades (modular gang)
  • Katja, City Watch Inspector Katja will also have a Cyber Hound to help her track down and apprehend criminals, which is coming out next week! However, for now you can download and print Katja and the Nightshades :D We hope you really like the gang! You can mirror the pre-supported files in your slicing software to get more options for poses. I didn't include them because the download was already quite large, but please let me know if you have issues doing this and I can help :) Finally, please remember to join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Happy Printing!

December's Throwback Pack! + FYI Update

Hi everyone, Yesterday, I put together the new Throwback Pack for December, and I picked the following models:

  • Space Pirates Kit: this is a modular kit of sci-fi pirates that belong to the Navarro Crew. Remember they are in 36mm scale (only in July 2022 did we change to 28mm heroic).
  • Narok Prison Kit: this is a modular terrain kit, which features sci-fi floor tiles and wall pieces. There are a few designs - more than you see in the image - so you can vary your prison yard design. There is also a working gate.
  • Diablo, Bounty Hunter: this is a beefy military man with a huge gun! That about sums him up haha :P I have added these to the MMF Tribes Tiers now, so if you receive a redeem invitation, it's not for any December minis, it's for these new Throwback models. If you have already bought any of the models from our store, or were a subscriber at the time, THANK YOU :) It's your support that keeps us going every month! ++December 2022 Collection Plan++ This is the current plan for December. It might change a little as the month goes on, but I expect us to stick to it quite closely. The Bitter Nightshades will be coming out on Monday 5th December. Katja is also finished, and Martina is working on her Cyber Hound at the moment. Andy is working on the Heavy Battery Weapons and Lorena on the Campfire diorama :) Kaledon Fortis
  • ​Heavy Battery Teams x3 (including approx. 3 guns, 3 platforms, 6 troops)
  • ​Campfire Diorama with 4 troops relaxing (alternative Christmas version too) ​​Stack City Characters
  • The ​Bitter Nightshades - modular female gang set
  • ​​Katja - Inspector for the Stack City Watch
  • ​Cyber Hound - Katja's trusty cyber dog
  • Bonus Christmas Character ​​Terrain & Vehicles
  • ​Meat Grill - Shipping Container Kit
  • ​Colossus Upgrade Pack - adding tracks & armoured truck parts We hope you like the sound of December's selection :) Thank you! Kind regards Gem

Rot Water Bar Build Guide Released + Files Update :)

Hi everyone, I finished the Build Guide for The Rot Water Bar! :) You can now download it from our Discord here: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49, and also from the object folders on MMF. It's a fairly simple kit in most cases, but I think the guide will really help. I've also updated both STL folders while making the guide, with small changes like providing the mirrored versions of necessary items for ease of use, and also adding the door hinges from the Shipping Container Kit (from the Welcome Pack) in this pack too, as I think that's a more cohesive experience. Extra Files Removed: I also replaced the chain & latch in the original folder because they were the wrong ones! They're from a door alternative releasing next month; instead of including it, I needed to repeat the chain & latch from the Shipping Container Kit in this folder. I've fixed that now though. Please download the Build Guide and the latest folders, and then have fun printing this grimdark dive bar for your city :D Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday 4/4! Rot Water Bar Release!

Hi everyone, It's the final release of the month and we have an awesome Container Kit for you - the Rot Water Bar! You can add this to Stack City, or on your own terrain board as the local watering hole for your gang ;) There are new pieces for the shipping containers:

  • A double wide section with a huge serving window
  • Doors for the end, which open in the centre this time Plus, there is an entire scatter kit of interior and exterior parts to transform your container into a grimdark bar, complete with outdoor seating :D Many of the parts in this kit are compatible with past kits, and past scatter kits will work with these items too. For example, you could add seating outside the Food Truck, or a pumps and kegs to the Poison Workshop to create a bar that makes more unique beverages :P I will be working on a Build Guide for the Rot Water Bar tomorrow. Have fun creating! Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday: a WIP Update Post :) Nightshades, City Bar and Christmas!

Hi everyone, It's time for some weekly updates :) The Container Bar is finished and looking really cool! Andy has done some quick renders of it to show you. I will be supporting and printing the pieces this weekend, ready for release on our final Miniature Monday of the month. Our bar is called Rot Water, and the renders show some of the items in the kit, incl:

  • interior and exterior keg storage
  • free standing kegs
  • spirit pumps
  • beer taps
  • seating
  • lighting
  • and.... Haric! Haric is one of the bars regulars who, after his untimely death (probably due to drinking too much rot water) has been turned into a security skull and now watches over the keg pumps of his favourite establishment. Finally, I've also taken a picture of our Stack City example complete with Railings and the Food Truck on top, just to show what it looks like in 3D :) ++December's Collection++ The Bitter Nightshades The Nightshades gang is also finished for December's collection, and I'm in love haha :D These badass ladies look ready to take on the entire of Stack City by themselves! You can see screenshots of them attached to this post :D They are modular, interchangeable with the Champion parts, and will be available in our 5th December release. Christmas Troops For our Christmas troops diorama, we're going to do a set of four soldiers relaxing on some crates & barrels, around a fire. There will be two versions of this diorama:
  • Christmas (passing around gifts, wearing festive hats)
  • Non-Christmas (passing around food & drinks, normal uniform) I think by having the same diorama, but with a few tweaks to make it either Christmas specific or not, it will be the most useful to people :) You can then choose which one you want to print. Christmas Character This is the hardest choice. Comments are very mixed, with lots of fun ideas, but also people pointing out there's been a lot of versions of a grimdark Santa before, so it's a little boring haha. What do you think about redoing some of our old characters in a Christmas format? So I was thinking that we could dress Cressida and Mercia up in Christmas garb, and have them handing out gifts (presents shaped like guns etc), or decorating a tree together. That means it's more unique (using one of our characters) but still Christmassy. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks everyone, and have a good weekend :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday Release! 3/4 for November :)

Hi everyone, This Monday, we're releasing two miniature kits! 1. Stack City Upgrade Kit - Railings (17 pieces) This is Part 2 for our Stack City terrain kit, which sees the addition of Railings! Plus two subscriber requested pieces from the feedback after our last release. For anyone, who does not have Stack City Part 1, you can purchase it on our store here using your 50% off subscriber discount. However, there are some railings without module bases (designed to attach it to the Hab Stack platforms) so you can use a few of the pieces regardless :) The two bonus feedback pieces are:

  • Clamps to rest a character's base against on the ramp, so they no longer slide down!
  • A platform to attach to the ladder, so you can rest a character part way up to show them 'climbing' it You will find a Build Guide already uploaded to MMF, as well as in our Discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Hope you like the upgrade kit! What else would you like to see added to the Stack City infrastructure? 2. Erroish War Party (27 modular pieces) This is a gorgeous set of miniatures which go with our release of Erroish Tribers from the desert wastelands around Stack City. In previous months, we have released a set of insect mounted riders, Danakil - chief of the tribe, and a Weather Shaman who can control the desert storms. They are all available on our store to build out your gang. This kit has 7 unique body sections, 7 unique heads and 15 arm options! What other releases would you like to see for the Erroish nomads? That's everything for our second to last Miniature Monday. Next week will see the release of our Shipping Container Bar :D Thank you so much for your support! Kind regards Gem & Andy

Should we do Christmas miniatures in December? If so, which ones?

Hi everyone, So we thought we could do a Christmas model for Stack City, maybe a Grimdark Santa haha or any other shady character. They could be giving out gifts, all dressed up, but maybe the boxes are shaped like guns and bombs. Or perhaps we do a Santa Chef, serving up Christmas dinner? Or maybe Santa is a bounty hunter lol, after those Naughty children! Maybe he has a huge gun with 'naughty' written on the side and then a sack of gifts on his back with 'nice' written on :P Pop your character ideas in the comments! Plus, we like the idea of some Christmas troopers - maybe a trio of relaxed troops wearing Christmas hats and sharing a drink together, or swapping gifts, or even eating Christmas dinner. Again, if you have any ideas for Kaledon Fortis characters, please add them in the comments :) Finally, there is an option to vote for no characters. They will replace other characters we would otherwise do because we only have limited time, and they are only relevant to Christmas, so we weren't sure if they are worthwhile to most people. Thank you for sharing your opinion!

FYI Friday - a WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, It's another Friday and therefore it's time for another FYI post, since November is now speeding past us! I hope you've all had a great week :) 1. Erroish War Party This modular kit is supported and print tested, ready to come out on Monday. I think they turned out really great! Attached to this post are printed pictures of the characters. You can make more versions than in the pics - there's one additional unique body & arm set, but I got through 6 and gave up :P Gluing together modular minis is not my strong point! I'm typing with superglue all over my fingers at the moment haha 2. Final November Terrain Set Sculptor: Andy At the beginning of this month, I listed our plans for a shipping container conversion, but we hadn't decided on the theme yet. I thought possibly another food place, or a hab unit for the city, but neither of those themes appealed to Andy this month. So he's doing: A bar! I'm really excited for this one :D The shipping container bar will therefore come out on the final Miniature Monday of the month - 28th November. 3. December Plans These are our ideas so far -

  • Colossus Upgrade Pack (this will give the Colossus a new look including tank tracks, a hotly requested idea)
  • Kaledon Fortis Heavy Weapons dioramas
  • Kaledon Fortis mech walker
  • Bitter Nightshades modular gang
  • Stack City Watch Enforcer with cyber dog
  • Christmas one-offs! For this final idea, I am going to do a pole separately to see if you actually want Christmas models and what we should do, so make sure you check that out. 4. Stack City Watch Enforcer Sculptor: Martina If you like this concept, we'll add a gang of Watchers to our roster. If not, we'll only do this one unique character, which can be hired by any gang so she won't be wasted :) Attached to this post is the sketch for her design. Things usually change when sculpted, but we would love your opinion at this early point. Let us know your thoughts and ideas in the comments. That's it for updates. Thank you so much for your support this November :) If you haven't already, please join our Discord where you can share your ideas too: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday Release! :D

Hi everyone, It's the second Miniature Monday of November, and today you'll find three new releases in your MMF Library :) Check out the renders attached to this post to see what they all look like! 1. Light Infantry Expansion - Female Troopers x3 There are three female troopers, plus a generic head to download. The ladies are smaller than the men, so you cannot interchange the modular parts. They are sporting two new weapons: a bayonet and smaller rifle - an Energy Carbine. - Male Troopers x3 We also have three new male troopers, with modular arms & heads. These new arm options are interchangable with all past Kaledon Fortis releases, such as the Infantry in our welcome pack. 2. Akina - Gang Champion She is modular too - with four separate arm options, and a separate head. Her parts will be compatible with future Bitter Nightshade gang releases! 3. Phobos Tank Upgrade Pack This is an upgrade pack that works with both tanks - the Phobos Breacher in this month, and the Phobos MBT from last month. You will find:

  • Internal sponson pieces (fits in the module hole on the side of the tracks)
  • Four new Sponson guns
  • Armoured Track Guards for our original Phobos, which has normal width tracks (not the 1.5 width of the Breacher tank)
  • Battle Canon Weapon for the turret
  • Additional modules for the small module slot on top of the tanks We hope you like all these new miniatures! Make sure you keep sharing your ideas and printed minis in our Discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49 Happy Printing! Kind regards Gem & Andy

FYI Friday Update Post :)

Hi everyone, It's another Friday, and so it's time for another update post! Our Female Gang This is the final tally for the top 4 gang names to win the vote:

  • Bitter Nightshades - 44 people
  • Damsels of Distress - 37 people
  • Deadly Rumours - 37 people
  • Crimson Dancers - 39 people So our winner is The Bitter Nightshades :) If your favourite didn't win, you can always name your printed version of this gang something different. You don't have to use our name! Female Champion - Akina The champion is finished, coming out on Monday! We tweaked her a little based on feedback, so you can check out the finished version of her attached to this post. Her arms and head are modular. There are four arm options - 2 arms with weapons (as seen in the render) and 2 unarmed. There is also a version of the arms & body with battle damage if you prefer a grittier look :) Stack City Terrain P2 - Railings The expansion pack for Stack City is also coming out this month and consists of railings! There are a variety of different railing designs to add to your city structure, as well as damaged versions. Many of you have been requesting damaged terrain, and so we're going to start adding some of this over the next few months :D In the gallery on this pose is sneak peek of 3 railing designs. Erroish War Party This month we will be releasing a set of Erroish fighters that are unmounted. Attached is a WIP shot of the body sections, which are all slightly different, to give your miniatures a more unique feeling :) Female Kaledon Fortis We are also releasing an expansion to the Infantry of our Kaledon Fortis army, adding more weapons, modular heads, and also women to the ranks. As we showed you before, we have reduced the size of the women and changed the body proportions to help them look distinctive. You will find some WIP shots, showing our new Bayonet weapon and an Energy Carbine in the gallery below. We hope you like how all the releases are looking for this month. Make sure to head back to the Patreon on Miniature Monday to see what newly released goodies await you :D Have a great weekend! Kind regards, Gem

Two New Build Guides Released :)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I finished two new Build Guides to keep us up to date with the latest kits.

Miniature Monday! STLs release and surprise tank :D

Hi everyone, It's the first Miniature Monday of November, and we have four models dropping today :)

  • Josefina, Noble Lady
  • Noble Bodyguard
  • Varantila, Pit Beast We also have a surprise miniature that Andy sculpted because he was feeling inspired this past week!
  • The Phobos Breacher Battle Tank This uses the Hull pattern of the Phobos released last month, but is fully upgraded apart from that with armoured hull upgrades, extra wide tracks and a breaching ram on the front :D This tank is a great accompaniment to the armoured Line Breaker Colossus to create an intimidating convoy. We're still going to release a small upgrade pack with extra gun options for the Phobos this month, which will now also work with the Phobos Breacher. In fact, the parts for both these tanks are cross compatible! See the original Phobos on our store here. This week, I'll be working on a Build Guide for the Phobos Breacher (although it's very easy), as well as a Build Guide for our Stack City terrain kit which was released at the end of last month. On that note, the updated files for the Stack City Terrain Kit have been uploaded, which simply have a few re-supported parts to reduce print warping :) Thank you so much! Kind regards Gem & Andy

FYI Friday Update Post :)

Hi everyone, It's Friday already and time for another update! Stack City Tweaks I'm really pleased with the re-prints for the parts that suffered the most warping from our Stack City terrain kit. You can see the changes, which improve how the pieces all fit together. Pictures in the gallery below! Andy just needs to sign off on things, and I'll upload the updated folder. In our Discord, some subscribers also pointed out that miniatures would slide down the ramps, so we're going to add 'rungs' to a version of the ramp which you can hopefully rest a character's base against to keep them on the ramp. I'll add that file to the new zipped folder too. Female Kaledon Fortis Trooper Lorena has been hard at work editing the base trooper design to create a realistic female version. We've decided that the strict budget for the army would not account for any uniform differences between genders, other than size, so the uniform remains the same. However, we have reduced the thickness of the legs and arms, width of the shoulders, height of the character by 2mm, and narrowed the waist to create a female body type. Pictures in the gallery below! Of course, the most obvious change will be when we add faces to the troops, and sculpt some male and females heads. What do you think? Female Gang Champion So I'd love to develop our own female gang for Mortuus Secunda, and we started in September with the Poison Mistress. This month, Martina is making a champion character :) I thought you would like to see the sketch and the WIP for her. You can provide feedback in the comments! Pictures in the gallery below! We will do a slightly different version of her with the Day of the Dead theme for people who like that option. I think we'll increase the size of the flowers and skulls though for easier painting, as I've been playing around with the Poison Mistress DotD version and I think that would help :) Finally, I don't know what to call our gang! So I'm also posting a pole at the same time as this article to get your votes. That's it for our update post! Make sure you add your comments to this post or in the Discord and we love to involve our community in the creation of each monthly release :) Kind regards Gem Discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49

Miniature Monday! Stack City Part 1 Released :D

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween! :D Today, I've added the Stack City terrain files to your MMF library. There are walkway platforms to attach to the shipping containers with long walkway pieces that can act as a bridge or a ramp; ladders for a vertical climb to the next floor; and support walls to give the structure extra stability. Containers can be stack using the stacking pieces in the Shipping Container Kit, or you can add a raised platform on top to cover the centre of the container, and place terrain on top of it. Build Guide coming soon! A Note on the Pre-Supported Files Firstly, the files all print and they can fit together, but not as well as we'd like. At the moment, to get an ideal fit on every piece, you'll need to do a little sanding, possibly some putty work to get the joins to be completely flush due to print warping. Some of it could be our printers, which are old now and need re-calibrating, but we're going to run some tests over the next few days on alternative orientations. We always want the terrain kits to fit together as perfectly as we can make them, and Stack City needs some fine tuning. So, if you want to get started and don't mind a little work afterwards, you can print & build it now. However, if you're happy to wait while we tweak the supports, just download the files later on :) We'll do an update post when they've been replaced. The Saga With the Weather Shaman The saddle for the weather shaman went missing! It wasn't uploaded earlier this month for some reason, and I couldn't find it on my computer. The original file was corrupted on Martina's computer, and so she had to recut it to fit the stenobeast and the weather shaman as they currently are. Consecutive cuts didn't work, and it took four versions before we finally got the saddle to fit again! I can't really offer any logical reason that this was so hard, except that the saddle is probably cursed, so print it at your peril :P The weather shaman is a mystic woman after all! To cut a long story short, there is now a working saddle in the weather shaman zip folder, which has been replaced on MMF. Phew! So sorry about that. Well, that's all for Miniature Monday. See you in November for another fun month on Mortuus Secunda :D Kind regards, Gem

FYI Friday Update Post + November Release Outline!

Hi everyone, It's time for another update post :) Firstly, our plan for November as it stands right now (see graphic attached to this post too): Stack City Characters (Sculptor: Martina)

  • Female Gang Champion (I still need a name for our ladies crew!)
  • Noble Lady
  • Noble Bodyguard The Erroish People (Sculptor: Martina)
  • Fully modular War Party kit x6 (unmounted this time) Kaledon Fortis Army (Sculptor: Lorena)
  • Expansion of infantry kit to include: female characters six additional poses total (3 men, 3 women) more modularity - separate heads this time, all with faces visible (there will be a helmet option for people who don't like painting faces lol)
  • Phobos Tank Expansion Kit Stack City Terrain (Sculptor: Andy)
  • Expansion to the structural kit. Addition of outdoor furnishings e.g. seating, lighting, railings etc
  • Shipping Container Conversion. Undecided but some ideas are: a) Food Truck 2 (outdoor eating area, different food e.g. noodle shop or something) /or/ b) City Hab (internal furniture like an apartment) Creature (Sculptor: Ilaria)
  • A terrifying Pit Beast for our female gang! ++Work in Progress Info++ Now that I've outlined the plan for you, we can look at some visuals (attached to this post) Thanks to everyone for providing feedback on our noble lady and her body guard. Now you can see the results! The renders aren't done yet so you'll have to use your imagination from a Lychee screenshot ;) Noble Lady: We made her sword fancier, and have provided a blank mask version of her. Noble Bodyguard: The bodyguard has no spikes and the only skulls are on her fabric 'skirt' to match the noble lady. We also have a blank mask version of her too, and she is using the Noble Lady's sword. Her armour is also a little lighter so she can still manoeuvre quickly! Pit Beast: This horrifying creature was genetically spliced in a lab and often fights in the illegal fighting pits, as well as joins our female gang on missions. They were his creators and he is loyal to them, being an intelligent as well as brutal creation! ++Miniature Monday - 7th November++ Our first Miniature Monday is the 7th November, and we aim to release:
  • Female Champion
  • Pit Beast
  • Noble Lady
  • Noble Bodyguard
  • Phobos Tank Upgrade Kit We hope you continue to support our small studio next month and stick around for more adventures on the planet of Mortuus Secunda! :D Kind regards Gem & the team

But first let me tell you a little about what I create on a month to month basis. ;) The Tribes and Patreon of ThatEvilOne focuses on the grim hopelessness of the Sirius Sector, The New Roman Empire has fractured into open civil war and both genewarrior and mortal fall in an endless and relentless pace of war. The Perfect Sons stand as champions of the eastern sub sector and the malignant deities surrounding it. Each month builds upon the four active faction ranges currently being developed. The Genewarriors of the Perfect Sons, The Legions of the Roma Ad Astra, The Maiden order of the Vestal Priestesses and the teeming cultists of the House of Excess. This is done through a grand total of 5 Unit or Vehicle Packs that get released every month on the 4th.

FYI Friday Update Post + Final Build Guides!

See the open post on Patreon for images dispersed throughout :)


Hi everyone, It's update time :) Firstly, I've finished all the Build Guides, woohoo! 1. Prison Cell Build Guide 2. (Expanded) Heavy Lift Crane Build Guide I've added some more details to the HLC Guide which Andy didn't have the time to do last month, so you'll have to put up with my Lychee screenshots for the crane base and other expanded sections - sorry haha. All the Build Guides have now been added to MMF, and also a new channel on our Discord. Build Guides on Discord: https://discord.gg/KBdz44bGeQ We're also making good progress on the final miniatures for this month, and have started on next month's characters! OCTOBER MODELS ++Stack City Terrain++ Sculptor: Andy Our final release for this month is going to be some terrain that turns your shipping containers (and container conversions) into a 'stack city'. The stage for technical imagining and planning can be extensive, but he's made great progress so far and has even started to detail some parts. This render shows the general idea of how the walkways, platforms and stairways will work. There is as much flexibility built in as we can, and it should allow you to create an extensive cityscape if you want to. Here you see walkways around and between containers, but it will also be possible to make wider spaces too, linking everything together! Work in Progress render in gallery ++Phobos Expansion++ Sculptor: Andy Andy has also started to make some weapon upgrades for the Phobos, which you can see below. Question: is it fair to release an upgrade pack for the Phobos next month, if it isn't in the Welcome Pack? This would be an unusable set of STLs for new subscribers, unless they bought the tank from our store. So far, we have not released anything that a new subscriber couldn't use without buying something else. NOVEMBER MODELS A Noble Courtier Sculptor: Martina We love the styling of Cressida from our August release - historical dress mixed with sci-fi. For our Stack Cities, we wanted to add a lady from a noble house that has some dealings with the lower city, and have almost finished this model. She can form an alliance with different gangs, if it serves her interests to. Feedback welcome. Work in Progress - unposed model in gallery Courtier Bodyguard - Feedback Needed! Sculptor: Martina This concept is a little harder and we want your opinions :) She is going to be the bodyguard for our noble lady, and we like the idea of her wearing a mask to hide her identity so you don't know if she is the lady or the bodyguard. Perhaps an image of the noble ladies face could even be projected onto the mask? However, we've struggled to figure out the best styling for her. She needs to be distinct as a character, historical in styling but also a fighter. The initial sketch has ended up quite medieval - do you like this? Do they work as a pair? How would you change it? :) Work in Progress Sketch in gallery That's it for this Friday update post! Please comment if you have thoughts - we listen to all feedback, and act on it where we can :) You can also chat with us in the Discord too! Kind regards, Gem

3 More Build Guides Finished! 2 Past Kits + 1 Tank

Hi everyone, So I've been really busy these past few days supporting and test printing the beautiful Phobos Tank, as well as creating some more Build Guides. For those of you that don't know, I'm on a mission to ensure that all of our past model kits (from July 2022) have a detailed Build Guide to accompany them :) July is when we changed themes to the grim industrial planet of Mortuus Secunda, and it's the point that all our model kits became compatible with each other! As such, it's important that you know how to build them. A week ago, I released 4 past guides in this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/four-past-build-73183878 Today, I bring you 3 more :D 1. The Phobos Build Guide 2. The Food Truck Container Build Guide 3. The Medicant Station Container Build Guide I've attached those guides as PDFs to our post on Patreon, and I'm now going through our models on MMF and adding the PDF guides to all the places they're needed. For now, you can grab the latest guides from this post. I hope they're helpful! Kind regards Gem Patreon Post to download guides: https://www.patreon.com/posts/3-more-build-2-1-73471344

Miniature Monday! Main Battle Tank release & more!

Hi everyone, Today I've added three miniatures to your library on MyMiniFactory! Phobos - Main Battle Tank This is one of the armoured vehicles for our Kaledon Fortis army. We would like to release an upgrade pack for it next month with extra weapons & accessories, so let us know what you'd like in the comments below! The tank will print on an Elegoo Mars build plate and I'll be taking some pictures tomorrow to show you how it goes together for a Build Guide :) Altan - Stack City Watcher We've had a Runner and a Hawker to add to your gangs, and so to round out our character trio, we give you a seasoned Watcher. We hope you like him! Standard Bearer This is the final character for our Kaledon Fortis army this month. We will be releasing a blank version of the banner early in November, and it'll be added to this character folder on MMF so all October subscribers will get it. Let us know in the comments what other characters, troops and vehicles you would like to see added to the Kaledon Fortis army! Female Troops? One thing we'd like to add is some female troops. We won't be editing the body armour, but I do feel that the bodies for female troops should be a little smaller. Of course, you can get larger women, but I also think there would be smaller women in the army too and their body size would reflect that. But what do you think? What is the best way to realistically add women to our miniature army? Medic Box A subscriber asked for the Medic box separate, so that's been added to the Medic folder on MMF :) And that's everything for this Miniature Monday release! Andy is now working on our Stack City scenery, attempting to enable the shipping containers to be stacked and used as habitation for Mortuus Secunda residents, providing you with some vertical scenery. We'll let you know how it's going on Friday! Kind regards, Gem

Four Past Build Guides Released!

Hi everyone, For those of you that don't know, I'm working on a project at the moment to create detailed Build Guides for all our complex models. I'm going back to past releases and creating guides for the terrain kits, which should have been made at the time to be honest. Sorry! :) Today, I worked like crazy and managed to finish the Line Breaker Build Guide, meaning there are now FOUR guides available to download. I'm pretty proud of myself haha ;)

  1. Modular Shipping Containers (Welcome Pack)
  2. Colossus Heavy Transporter (Welcome Pack)
  3. The Line Breaker Upgrade Kit (August 2022)
  4. The Armoury (August 2022) They are attached to our post on Patreon as PDF Guides. I will be adding them to a few other places later this week - our Discord, on MMF and maybe even our very neglected website, but for now you need to head to our Patreon and download them. Just click the link above! I hope they're helpful :) Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday Releases!!

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for voting on the FYI Friday post - it was so helpful to see what people thought for our Banner Bearer logo :) Results:

  • We went with A for the logo, as it won the vote. We'll get him supported this week to go out next Monday :)
  • We have also included a 32mm Round Base for our Stack City Runner Poison Workshop The kit is finally done!!! 48 detailed pieces, printed and test fit, some of them multiple times. It's a beautiful kit though and it works with all the other terrain kits too - Food Truck, Medicant, Prison Cell etc, so that everything is compatible. Why not add the Drug Fridges from the Medicant to the Poison Workshop, or add a giant poison vat to the top of your Food Truck to be a fancy soup haha? ;) There is also a finished Build Guide to download along with it. Kaledon Fortis Characters Someone suggested in the comments that we provide the Medic Box separately, which is a good idea. I have that now, so once it's print tested, I'll upload it to the Medic on MMF :) Just keep an eye out for that appearing. Banner Bearer will come out next Monday with the Kaledon Fortis tank! Stack City Characters They have been uploaded too with the extra base for Skifter, so you can choose the square one for a small diorama or the round one for gameplay. Both are 32mm :) BUILD GUIDES I'm so happy to let you know I've made a start on fleshing out out Build Guides this weekend!! I know we're sorely lacking in direction for our complex terrain kits, so I blocked out the whole weekend to work on them, and we now have:
  • Poison Workshop
  • Colossus Updated (more detail to answer questions people had)
  • Shipping Containers
  • Armoury Kit I'm going to work on the Line Breaker Guide this week. It takes forever to line everything up in Lychee for the screenshots haha, since I don't know how to use Blender for renders! Unfortunately, Andy doesn't have the time to do renders for the back dated guides, but he did them our Poison Workshop :) There will be a guide for everything eventually. Thank you so much for all your support and patience! Kind regards Gem

FYI Friday - A Weekly Update on Things!

It's easier to read this post with the images spread throughout - you can read it like that on Patreon here.


Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a fantastic week :) Poison Workshop Firstly - I'm so sorry for the long delay with the Poison Workshop! Andy made the kit bigger than expected in the end and eventually just had to stop, even though he has more ideas haha. So if you like the kit, let us know and we can do a Part 2 in the future. The final supported files will be released this weekend, along with a Build Guide. The last test parts cured today so we're just doing a final fit check this evening, and bar any changes, it's done :D ++Miniature Monday 10th Oct Release++ 1. Skifter - a Stack City Runner You can hire Skifter to show you around town, perfect if you're new and looking to expand your territory because he'll show you all the best areas. There are some things only a born and bread stack dweller could know, and Skifter is one of the best runners available for hire. Question - is his 32mm square base okay, or would a 32mm round base be better? Let us know in the comments. The base, bar and character are all separate. 2. Zyanya - A Market Hawker Zyanya is a market hawker, peddling her different wares on the streets of the Market, since she hasn't yet earned her way to owning a proper stall. Hawkers can also acquire you illegal wares for a high price and will hand them over at discrete meeting spots, the benefit of being a mobile shop. 3. Kaledon Fortis Special Roles On Monday we will also be introducing four new roles to the Kaledon Fortis army! - Medic - Comms - Navigator - Standard Bearer For this character, we have yet to finish the banner, but wanted your opinion first. Our army needs a logo for their banner - which do you prefer? Vote in the comments! Thank you! For the Kaledon Fortis vehicle, we're going to take a little more time to perfect it, and so that will most likely be released on the 17th Oct. We'll keep you up to date though :) Kind regards Gem & Andy

The First 'Miniature Monday' Release of October!

Hi everyone, I have added the first miniatures for October to MMF for you to download and start printing :D We have: Sergeant - Kaledon Fortis Sculptor: Lorena This is an extra pose for the sergeant in your Kaledon Fortis army. He is wielding a melee weapon this time - in the render, he has 'the Ripper' chain sword but there's also a Power Cleaver option as well. Plus, in his other hand, he has his Energy Pistol with a Plasma Pistol option also included. These new arm options are interchangeable with the other Sergeant arms & body, now available in our Welcome Pack! MONSTERS! Sculptor: Ilaria 1. Giant Wasteland Arachnid This monster is a terrifying sight to face when crossing the Brinkland Wastes, and many of them are said to be littered across the sands, hidden from view. As an ambush predator, you only really know you've disturbed its lair when you tread too close and it pounces. Few live to tell the tale of a spider that towers tall as a house, with feet like blades to skewer you and poisoned fangs to devour you! 2. Flying Wasteland Beast If the giant predatory spider doesn't get you, you'll have to also avoid death from above. Fitted with a harpoon-like stinger, the beat of this creature's wings might very well signal your doom. These beast are perfect for such a spooky month! Weather Shaman Sculptor: Martina Finally, we have our last addition to the wastelands of Mortuus Secunda, a member of the Erroish People - their highly respected and very mysterious Weather Shaman. Able to command the weather in the desert to roll in great dust storms or bring much needed rains, the shaman is elderly and possibly magical, no-one really knows. Only the one trained to take her place will ever know truth! We hope you like these models and are excited to get them on your tabletop :) We'll reveal more of what's in store for the next release in our FYI Friday post. In the meantime, happy printing! Kind regards Gem & Andy

New: Throwback Pack and Updated Welcome Pack!

Hi everyone, Just a quick update post :) Welcome Pack I have changed our Welcome Pack to better prepare new subscribers. Alongside the Colossus, there is now a model from every 'line' that we create to get you started. For example, the recent Poison Mistress from our all-female gang, and the infantry from our Kaledon Fortis army. I will also add the Poison Workshop to the Welcome Pack since it will be coming out this month. Everyone subscribed last month will gain access to it too :) It's almost finished and it's looking awesome!! Thank you so much for your patience with that model kit. Throwback Pack Each month, I will edit this pack to contain a selection of models from previous months. It's a fun bonus for people newer to us so they can have a greater sample of our work. If you've bought any of those miniatures on our store already, please know that you have our sincere gratitude! We're a small enough subscription that every purchase literally helps us to keep the computers running and make you new models every month :) Quickfire Updates

  • I have shared all those models now, so you will have received an email notification for that from MMF
  • Our first Miniature Monday of the month is tomorrow, woohoo!
  • September's collection will be on the store soon
  • I will release an updated discount code soon - probably on the 4th Oct Thank you so much! Kind regards Gem

Update on the Poison Workshop :)

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry to let you know that the poison workshop won't be out today. We've had a few issues with printing, and want to improve the supports before release. Even though we feel an immense pressure to get the files out to you on time, as we very rightly should, we also want to make sure that when you do get them, they are worth the wait! So we're deeply sorry for the additional delay, but we need another day or two to finish off the set. Anyone who subscribed this month will receive the files, even if you unsubscribe and are no longer with us for October. Please don't worry about that :) If you are owed the files, you will definitely get them. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding :) It means the world to us! We promise to try and be more on time next month. Kind regards Gem & Andy

Miniature Monday - Final Sept Releases - Part 1!

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend :) Andy & I have both had flu this last week. We didn't even get Covid-19, but we have regular flu - typical! Anyway, that has delayed the finishing of our Poison Workshop by a few days; I'm so sorry! We're really excited about how it's shaping up though. Part 1 Release

  • Poison Mistress (official)
  • Poison Mistress (Day of the Dead theme) Since we created the alternative theme already, we decided to include her for anyone that loved the design :)
  • Bits Pack: 3x weapon effects, 3x accessories for the Kaledon Fortis We have some renders of the weapon effects in action attached to this post. I think they look really cool! Part 2 Release - Wed 29th/ Thur 30th
  • Poison Workshop: a Shipping Container Conversion The sections finished so far are the manufacturing parts of the container, for brewing and storing the poisons! Next, we will be making some internals. Also, the Awnings are compatible with all past Container Conversions :D ++October STLs - The Plan So Far++ The first Miniature Monday of the month with be on Monday 3rd October, and we hope to release the following minis on that day:
  • Weather Shaman miniature (finished and test printed)
  • Flying Beast (finished and test printed)
  • Mystery Beast: another monster from the Brinkland deserts, in honour of Halloween! (not finished yet)
  • Sergeant of Kaledon Fortis: a new Sergeant pose with melee weapon and no helmet (not finished yet) Plan for the second Monday in October to be reveal during our next FYI Friday post ;) Kind regards Gem & Andy

FYI Friday! A Weekly WIP Update Post :)

Hi everyone, So I wanted to update you on what to expect for the last Miniature Monday of the month, and also, what we've started to plan for October. ++September Models++ The remaining models for September are: - Poison Mistress The votes last week for the Day of the Dead theming were mixed, and so to play it safe and allow her to be useful to more people, we're going to go with normal theming for of lady gang. - Bitz Pack This is an upgrade pack for the Kaledon Fortis troops, and contains three weapon effects - flame thrower, fusion gun and grenade launcher, as well as three bitz to add to any of your troops - if you can find a space they fit. - Poison Workshop This is a shipping container conversion, like the Food Truck from July. You will be able to add bits to the outside and inside to make a chemists workshop where different poisons are brewed. We already had to cut our ideas down a bit to be reasonable within the timeframe, so if you like the kit when it's released, do let us know and we can do a small upgrade pack in the future :) ++Crane Build Guide++ Attached to this post, and also available to download here, is a Build Guide for the crane: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o2RU_xBD5DkcIm2sXwcGAOiCv4pCTNvO/view?usp=sharing Please let us know how you get along in the Discord - hopefully you enjoy the kit and love the resin chain. The modular parts that allow the crane to work are designed to allow you flexible posing of the crane for different game scenarios. Note: we will be releasing a shorter chain balancer for the smaller shipping container, as seen in the printed photo. I had to cut and relink the longer chains to take this shot, which is surprisingly easy to do! ++October Models++ For October, the first set of miniatures that will be released are some models for our Brinklands desert line. We have a Flying Beast for your gang to face in the wastes, and a powerful new Weather Shaman to join the Erroish people. Other October Ideas So far, these are the plans for October, but as always, things may change as the sculpting weeks progress.

  • The Kaledon Fortis will get an armoured vehicle
  • Kaledon Fortis characters: a banner bearer, radio operator and additional sergeant pose. These are planned for definite so far :)
  • Hab Stack Upgrade Kit for shipping containers - turn your containers into makeshift colony, stacked as high as you like.
  • Three more unique characters for the Mortuus Secunda underbelly That's it for updates tonight! Kind regards Gem

Miniature Monday! More Models for September :)

If you'd like to view the article with images throughout instead of gallery style, check out our open Patreon post.


Hi everyone,

The next files for September have been added to your MMF Library.

The crane is finally finished and it works, yay! You can lift it up and down, with working hydraulics on either side. You can open and close the boom using magnets or pegs - we've provided both systems. The chain also winds up on the spool, and the crane rotates :D

We've weight tested the chain and it's fine on our end with a shipping container, so that's great! Andy has also sculpted a base for the crane so that you can either add it to the back of the Colossus using the new flatbed pieces, or you can use it as a piece of terrain.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Heavy Lift Crane w/ Base

Andy is half way through a Build Guide, so that will be released tomorrow, as well as a print list. However, I've added in the name of the STL if you need to print it more than once, and everything else is print once, so it should be fairly intuitive.

Kaledon Fortis - Special Weapons

We tweaked the Grenade Launcher pose, so he's now finished and all the troops have been released. We're really happy with these :) Next month, we'll be adding characters like the Medic, as well as more Sergeant weapon options. We love adding to this army and suggestions are always welcome.

Wasteland Bases - for the Erroish Riders

We've created two oval 75mm bases in a Wasteland theme for the Erroish riders released at the start of the month! On the store, we also have 25mm bases in this style, and we'll probably finish off the set in the future with some 32mm, and maybe 50mm options. What would you like to see?

I know that not everyone likes bases, so we've been adding to the Wasteland collection slowly. I love them, to be honest! So hopefully we have some subscribers who like resin bases and can enjoy these too :)

That's it for released miniatures!

The feedback for the Poison Mistress was very mixed, so not sure what to so about her yet. She'll come out in our final Miniature Monday with the Poison Lab for the Shipping Containers :)

Happy printing!

Kind regards

A Collaboration with Puppetswar Miniatures! Free Gift

Hi everyone,

We're really excited to be working with Puppetswar Miniatures this month, and have an epic free model for you :D

They have provided an Orc Biker from their September release!

You can check out the full September collection in the attached image; there are some really cool vehicles. Puppetswar have a unique style with a great amount of detail, which you can tell will print brilliantly :)

I can't wait to get the Orc Biker on the printer this weekend!

Ts and Cs - this model cannot be sold by our merchants. Personal use only. undefined

Now let's hear directly from Puppetswar:

Surprise Gift by Puppetswar Miniatures- Free Model!

Hello,

Guys from Puppetswar Miniatures wanted to say hello and share with all of you an Orc Biker !

About Puppetswar:

In 2010 we bring into existence our own online store and from this moment we are constantly manifesting our creativity and imagination by producing high-quality resin miniatures. Now we are exploring growing possibilities of home 3D printing by making miniatures that are not shackled with limitations that come with mold casting and creating designs that take full advantage of modern technologies.

In the gallery, you can see the miniature that you can download here. Gift model is a sample of Puppetswar Miniatures current release.

FYI Fridays! A Weekly Work in Progress Update :)

If you would like to view the post with the images spread throughout it, you can see our open post on Patreon.


Hi everyone,

It's Friday again and time for more updates! We would like your opinion on the Poison Mistress character, which we talk about at the end of the article.

Heavy Lift Crane

Sculptor: Andy

This miniature is almost finished, but we need more time, so the full kit will be released on Monday 19th Sept.

We've done a strength test of the resin chain and container system, and it works! It's actually pretty strong and holds the container, no problem.

We're having some resin expansion when printing though, which is causing some fit issues, so we're still tweaking the files a bit - specifically the chain turning mechanism and the bottom part of the boom - which both allow you to pose the crane. However, most things are turning out great :)

To make up for the delay, Andy is also going to sculpt a Base Unit for the HLC so that you can use it as a freestanding terrain piece, and not just as a Colossus attachment.

I'm pretty proud of the resin chain - it's 42cm long! Which turns out to be too long haha, so we're going to re-do and re-support it. However, this really long version is awesome for a scatter piece, so I'm going to provide that anyway (just without the turn piece end).

Special Weapon Troops

Sculptor: Lorena

The special weapon troops are almost finished too, with just one pose left as WIP - we're going to have the Grenade Launcher aiming more upwards and the grip on the gun needs moving. That's being taken care of today :)

The six troops will be released on Monday 19th Sept!

Things to note:

The Grenade Launcher effect with the spent shell flying out is modular, so you don't have to add that.

The Fusion Rifle pose that has a grenade in his hand is a modular arm, so you can use it with the other single arm options from past Kaledon Fortis troops e.g. the pointing arm from the Sergeant model.

After editing the Grenade Launcher pose, Lorena is working on the first special effects & bitz pack.

Poison Mistress

Sculptor: Martina

This character is hopefully going to be the first in an all female gang that we would like to develop :)

We want to give our gang their own identity, and love the Day of the Dead theming. We thought about incorporating elements of that into our ladies' designs, and would like to know what you think!

So there are two different versions in the gallery of images -

1. Original Basic Theming

Feedback on the character design in general also welcome!

2. Day of the Dead Theming

Do you like the Day of the Dead accents? If not, what other theming could we use to make our gang style unique?

The Poison Mistress is going to have a Poison Lab/ Workshop, which will be a shipping container conversion kit, which will be coming out on Monday 26th Sept.


That's it for now. Let us know your thoughts in the comments :)

There will hopefully one more surprise creature release on this coming Monday, if it's ready. If not, it'll be in the last release. We'll see!

Kind regards

Gem & Andy

Miniature Monday! The Twins and HLC :)

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for providing feedback on our FYI Friday post recently!

We were able to pick the most popular gun layout for the twin brother, and we also updated the twin sister's backpack from containing extra Harpoons to a stash of Dynamite instead based on great feedback from our subscribers :)

As a surprise, the Twins are being released a week early. So I give you Gabriel and Jacquette of the Delahaye Syndicate, Bounty Hunter extraordinaires and facilitators of other less legal enterprises for the Family ;)

Heavy Lift Crane (HLC)

This kit is almost finished! Andy has a couple more things to tweak to ensure it's as good as it can be, and he needs to make the attachment for the Shipping Containers. Then I will be supporting and test printing the parts from tomorrow.

I will keep you updated with my progress in our Discord in the News & Updates section, so head there if you want to keep track (https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49)..) We will also be making a Print List and a Build Guide for the HLC over this week, with the Print Sheet coming first so you can get printing, and then follow my guide to assemble it a little later on.

The HLC fits onto the back of the Colossus, so if you have printed that miniature, you will be able to swap your Shipping Container for the HLC instead :D It also works with the Line Breaker version from last month's collection.

Kaledon Fortis Sneak Update

I know that we are saving the updates for our FYI Fridays, but I thought you might like the see the finished pose from our Sniper duo :)

We have a second pose to finish tomorrow and then it's onto the Grenade Launcher!

That's it for now! So sorry that the pre-supported parts for the Heavy Lift Crane are a few days delayed. We'll get them to you asap and hopefully it'll be worth it :)

Kind regards,

Gem (& Andy)

FYI Fridays! A Weekly Work In Progress Update

Note: in the Patreon post, the images are spread out between the text. It's not possible to do that here yet. To view that version, follow this link.


Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a great week :)

In our Discord, we had some discussions about keeping our community more up to date with model sculpting across the month and our plans for the following months too.

We're behind on schedule at the moment, which means we aren't able to show you a full collection image until the end of the month, and don't have much to preview for the following month as we're finishing things only days before they are released. We realise this isn't ideal for subscribers, so we're going to have a weekly post to keep you up to date with where we're at :D

The Colossus Crane

Estimated release date: 12th-14th Sept

Sculptor: Andy

Andy is having a lot of fun designing this. He's hoping we can create a 'working' crane - either with resin chains, or if they can't take the abuse, at least you could add a real chain/ string to do the same job.

No guarantees, but that's the hope!

There's been a lot of figuring out the mechanics, so we're on the last minute with this model. It might be that the renders go out on Miniature Monday and then the printed files follow a day or two later, as I (Gem) need time to properly support & test them. Hopefully not, but we'll see.

The two WIP shots show the prototype outriggers un-deployed and deployed, which are fully magnetisable and provide stability to the Heavy Lift Crane above. The Crane is in lots of unfinished pieces right now, so we can't preview that.

Unique Characters: The Twins

Estimated release date: 19th Sept

Sculptor: Martina

These two are Bounty Hunters who fancy themselves to be posher than they actually are! We've gone down a pirate nobility theme with them and I think they've turned out great.

The screenshots in the sculpting software are not renders, so they don't capture details perfectly. They also haven't been print tested yet, so some things might change, but they're mostly finished now :)

Twin Sister:

A subscriber asked for a 'big woman', so hopefully the twin sister provides! Twin Brother:

So with this character, we have a question to ask you! He's bristling with weapons and they're proving hard to fit :P We have two options for the pistols:

  • Gun Layout A: a double holster of the pistols on one side of his leg

  • Gun Layout B: holsters on either leg but further forwards to fit the sword

Which do you prefer? I (Gem) like B better and Andy likes A, so now our subscribers can decide. Cast your vote in the comments! A or B?

Kaledon Fortis Army - Special Weapons

Estimated release date: 19th Sept

Sculptor: Lorena

We're fleshing out the special weapons portion of our army with three new weapons:

  • Fusion Rifle x 2 poses

  • Grenade Launcher x 2 poses

  • Sniper x 2 poses

So far, we have the Fusion Rifle design finished and ready for supporting! I have duplicated each pose to show you the behind angle too, but these are the finished two poses.

After finishing the other four troops in the group, we will start work on an effects pack so you can have the different guns firing on your game board if you want ;) There will be at least one effect per weapon, I hope!

Future Thoughts & Discussion

  • We've gone though four sketches of the Poison Master (Mistress?) so far to get her right; we'll definitely want your feedback on this one in a future FYI Friday!
  • Next month, we hope to provide characters to complete a Team of the Kaledon Fortis, so you can use them for smaller Skirmish Games :)
  • We're also thinking about designing some hab terrain for settlements out in the Brinkland deserts. Ideally, they will connect to the Shipping Containers somehow. The hab shapes will give us a larger space to furnish than the shipping container, which will be cool, and of course, this terrain is useful for game scenarios.

That's it for now!

Let us know your thoughts below on the new FYI Friday posts, and our collection WIP/ Ideas :D

Kind regards

Gem & Andy

3 Month Loyalty Reward Released!

Hi everyone,

September is our third month since changing themes to Mortuus Secunda and redoing our Loyalty Reward System.

Every 3 months, there will be a new reward, and our first reward is a modular Promethium Container for the back of the Colossus :D

The key thing to know is:

FOR EVERY 3 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS YOU ARE WITH US, YOU WILL EARN A LOYALTY REWARD

If you subscribed in July, and stayed with us for August and September, then this reward has been added to your MMF Library under Objects Shared With Me :) Drop us a message if you think you should have received it, but you haven't.

If you subscribed in August, and have stayed with us for September too, then if you renew in October to gain your third month, you will earn the Promethium Container!

Finally, if you are just joining us this month, all you have to do is stick with us for October and November, and this reward will be yours :)

I know this system is a little confusing, so just take heed of the sentence in bold above - you will earn a reward for every 3 months of membership. The Promethium Container will be the reward miniature until December, when a new model will be revealed to take its place.

So if you've earned the loyalty reward this month, stay with us for Oct, Nov & Dec and you will earn a brand new one!

The Promethium Container

This modular container kit is compatible with our other container sections!

Use it to make a Promethium Container for the back of the Colossus, or other compatible vehicles from other companies ;) You can make the container as long or short as you want to.

There is a container section with armour, so you can weather the flat panels, as well as a module section for personalised added detail. There are four different modules you can add to that section. See the render and printed pics for ideas.

There are 9 unique parts in this kit.

F.A.Qs

  • If you have moved tiers or platforms (from Patreon to Tribes), you will still earn the loyalty reward. We just need 3 consecutive payments from you.

  • Merchants CANNOT sell this loyalty reward until it expires in December.

  • If you unsubscribed but rejoin us within this month, you will still get the loyalty reward.

  • If you were with us July, but not August, you have not banked consecutive months. Stay with us Sept, Oct and Nov though and you can get the Promethium Containers.

Drop any other questions in the comments below :)

Kind regards

Miniature Monday! 1 out of 4 Releases for September :)

Hi everyone,

So we have our first Miniature Monday release ready to print in your MMF Library! The Erroish Riders Kit , which includes 5 unique stenobeast mounts and a set of modular Erroish riders (separate arms & heads, posed bodies).

I really love how these came off the printers; they fit so well onto the saddles :) Each character body is also slightly unique (there are 5 in total), so no rider will look the same. There are also 4 unique weapon options, and mirrored versions of each arm pose to give you double the number! We'll add more unique head options as we expand the Erroish people (we have three in this kit).

What other Erroish would you like to see? :)

September Plans

This week, the renders & models for the 3 Month Loyalty Reward will be released!

I will also post on Thursday or Friday with our first 'WIP & Updates' style post to keep you in the loop with how September's designs are coming along, and also to share any future plans for October as our ideas develop. This is all part of being more communicative and engaging with our wonderful community :D

On that note - make sure you join our Discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49

Thank you so much for your support!

Kind regards

A Collaboration with The Maker's Cult - Cyberzerker Bikers!

Hi everyone,

What a great start to the week! Today, I'm really excited to share with you some miniatures from The Maker's Cult :D

This team creates fantastic gothic sci-fi miniatures each month, which are released in two large collections on the 4th and the 20th. They make everything from troops to giant robots, and from tanks to dark cyborgs!

For our subscribers, they have provided their Cyberzerker Bikers from September's release - an awesome set of wasteland bikers that fit perfectly into the barren desert of Mortuus Secunda :)

You can now download these models from your MMF Library.

Make sure you check out The Maker's Cult Patreon to see what else is in their September line up! Now let's hear directly from the team:


Hello from The Makers Cult

Hi, we are a Matt, Seb and Will, a three-man team creating 3D printable miniatures for tabletop gaming.

We mostly focus on the theme of gothic sci-fi, and our miniatures are perfect for use as wargaming alternatives. We love to offer wide customization of our models, with various poses, accessories, weapons and optional parts.

We have a wide range of models from various factions and of all kinds every month. Currently we are developing several armies :

  • Dark Techno : Trans-human cyber soldiers, fanatics of the machines
  • Cyberzerkers : Brutal gang of raiders and mercenaries
  • Iron Hive : Mechanically enhanced breeds of xeno-type monsters
  • Tempest Lords : Strong proto space soldiers in heavy armours, filled with adrenaline
  • Universal Guard : our new range of human space troops, very versatile for many gaming systems

Through polls and our discord channel, we also let our community direct us on what direction we aim for our future releases and creations.

On our 5000+ users discord board you are free to socialise, share your prints, paint jobs, troubleshoot printing difficulties, and even share remixes of our designs in our patron exclusive channels!

The model swap

This month, we kindly share with PrintMinis supporters our Cyberzerker bikers set. As you can expect it has a vast choice of bikes, riders and weapons !

We hope you like them, feel free to have a look at our Instagram galleries to see more of our models:

Welcome Packs Added and Release Schedule Info :)

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much to the new subscribers that have joined us this month!

I have just added the Welcome Packs to our Tribes tiers, so you'll all have received an email to let you know that new files are available. This email isn't referring to the monthly release - see more info on that below - it is referring to the Welcome Packs:

  • 1a) The Colossus Heavy Transporter
  • 1b) The Modular Shipping Container Kit
  • The Outbreak in a Lab collection (July 2021 throwback) Secret Minis!

For everyone who was subscribed last month and has renewed, the Welcome Packs are the same.

So I thought it would be fun to add two past miniatures to the Tribes tiers alongside our Welcome Packs as a surprise for anyone who already has them ;)

Of course, you might already own these models if you are a long time subscriber or have purchased it from our store. If so, thank you so much! You should feel amazing :D You are helping us to keep Print Minis running.

Release Schedule

We release our miniatures across the month, so they are a fun surprise each week, giving you time to print and enjoy the previous set before getting more to work through :)

Our first September release will be on Miniature Monday 5th September and it is the Erroish riders! Then on each Monday after that until the 26th September, we will release more models. We're hoping the crane set for the Colossus will be finished by the 12th ;)

During the days before this, we will post some WIP information about the models coming up, and our future plans for those factions, so you can get involved in the comments with ideas and feedback as we go :D

I hope all that makes sense. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Kind regards

What's in store for September?!

Hi everyone,

I'm really excited to talk to you about our plans for September :) In classic fashion, we don't have many renders ready to see yet, but we do have some cool ideas to share with you.

Also, since we're pretty much sculpting models the week before they are released, it allows us to respond to community feedback and ideas very quickly, which is a cool bonus of our constant lateness.

Collection Plan

  • Erroish Riders: five poses with modular arms and heads. Plus, five insect poses.

  • A Heavy Lift Crane for the Colossus: this will be a fairly extensive kit which will be posable with working chains. Plus, Outriggers for the Colossus chassis.

  • Kaledon Fortis Scout Bikes

  • Kaledon Fortis Scout Team (with some riding poses for the bikes)

  • Kaledon Fortis Sniper Team

  • Special Weapons Effects Pack 1: flame thrower effect, plasma riffle effect and probably one more

  • Poisons Master Character

  • Shipping Container Expansion: new doors, walkway on top etc

  • Shipping Container Kit: A Chemists Workshop to go with the Poisons Master character

  • The Twins - Bounty Hunters x 2


We hope you like the sound of this plan :)

Disclaimer: we might not get time to make everything! But this is our sincerest hope for Sept - anything that's missed will roll onto the following month.

Any ideas or thoughts about the collection plan, drop them in the comments!

The Erroish riders will be the first models released, going out on the 5th September. It's going to be an exciting month :D

Kind regards,

Gem & Andy

The Final Miniature Monday release of August!! :D

Hi everyone, I can't believe the final release of August is here! This month has gone by so fast. I hope you've all had a brilliant one :)

Thank you so much for supporting our Patreon!!

So what do we have in the final wave of models?

Special Weapons Troops - Kaledon Fortis

We have four new troops to add to our Kaledon Fortis army carrying Special Weapons. There are two troop poses for a Flame Thrower, and two additional poses for a Plasma Rifle :)

This brings the number of troops released in August to 10, plus our initial squad of 5 guys, making it 15 in total. To summarise what you have available for this faction so far:

  • 4 infantry
  • 1 sergeant
  • 3 troops for the Colossus cab
  • 2 relaxed troops
  • 1 Gunner
  • 2 Flame Thrower
  • 2 Plasma Rifle

We will be adding to this faction in September too, so drop any ideas in the comments and they might just make it into next month's line up :)

Container Cargo Kit - The Armoury Part 1

Our aim is to have weapons cargo for every weapon that the Kaledon Fortis army uses, as well as some other options from our unique characters from time to time (this month we have the shotgun from Mercia, the Ammo Bearer).

We will release a Part 2 for the Armoury in the future, which will be back compatible with this kit and will always fit in our Shipping Container.

In this month's armoury:

  • Officer Weapons Rack: stores 3 ripper swords and 6 energy pistols
  • Energy Rifle Rack: stores 3 rifles and ammo
  • High Capacity Energy Rifle Rack: stores 2 rifles and ammo
  • Shotgun Rifle Rack: stores 3 shotguns and ammo
  • Storage Shelves (2 designs)
  • Large Crate, 2 Small Crates - Stackable Container Piece (finally! So sorry for the delay on this one :/)
  • Container Armour to protect the delivery of weapons from attack

The guns are all provided separate to the racks, so you can clean & paint them easily before gluing them in place. You can also customise how many weapons you want on the racks.

Having the guns separate will hopefully allow you to use the weapons for kitbashing too, if you like :)

Colossus: Line Beaker Upgrades 1

This last set is a bit of a mixed upgrade set for the Colossus: Line Breaker based on community requests :) Added to the Line Beaker file set on MMF, you will find:

  • A new base piece that means you can have a container stored on the Colossus without a walkway around it.
  • New armoured railings for better protection for the gunner troops on the back!
  • A ladder on the back of the Colossus platform to allow easy access for troops or other characters (could be useful for the Food Truck if it stays loaded on the Colossus bed when serving)

That's it!

We hope you like the final models added to August's The Hunt collection. We will be talking about September's collection tomorrow, with a collection plan and hopefully at least one model rendered :)

Thank you so much, everyone.

Kind regards

A Collaboration with Papsikels Miniatures!

Hi everyone,

For our second and final collaboration this month, we're working with the fantastic Papsikels Miniatures, who create epic sci-fi and cyberpunk models each month :)

They also have a current crowd funding campaign - Cyber Saga, which their free promo miniature is from. You can learn more about that by visiting their page, and you can check out their models by downloading the character Joey Pratts from your MMF Library.

Happy printing :)


Now let's hear from Papsikels directly:

Hello everyone!

We are highly pleased to announce that we have just launched a new kick-ass crowdfunding campaign on the MMF platform.

The Cyber Saga begins here and we invite you to check it out right now and support the highly creative and beautifully sculpted work that we're known for.

If you wish to take a closer look at the model quality or you're just looking to add another unique miniature to your collection, you can download the free promo Joey Pratts model right now.

And if you are looking for even more cool free minis, be sure to browse the campaign to find yet another campaign promo.

About the campaign

From lowly Cyborg Reapers to Hightech Godroids, the divide between high and low-tech cybers is at a breaking point. In a City where Law is nonexistent, greedy Tech Corps are taking advantage by playing both sides. It is up to you to make a choice - be a prey or become a hunter.

Be sure to check out the pledge tiers. You can opt-in for a Core Set Pledge that includes all 16 miniatures from the Cyber Saga collection or upgrade to an All-In Pledge that will also grant you all minis from unlocked milestone stretch goals.

In a true Papsikels Tradition, there are unlimited Milestones that can be unlocked, one for every 1000$ funded. As of right now there are 10 extra miniatures unlocked and surely more are coming!

If you are interested in this project, consider supporting the campaign.

A Collaboration with OnePageRules! SSH Gators :)

Hi everyone,

We're incredibly excited to be working with One Page Rules this month, sharing a sample of our miniatures with each other's amazing subscribers :)

One Page Rules have been a huge inspiration to us as a small studio, with the quality and creativity of their work speaking for itself each month. They have also now reached 10,000 subscribers!!

For our collaboration, they have provided a modular set of Saurian Starhost Gators, which are now available for you to download from your MMF Library.

For August's release, they have added to three of their core lines:

  • Change Daemons

  • War Daemons

  • Saurian Starhost

The number of models you get when you join their Patreon is kind of extraordinary - the team work really hard to produce the armies. Alongside characters, they also have showpiece models like Quetzalcoatl, available this month. As well as things like terrain, game aids and scenic bases for all their armies.

If you want to know more about them, or buy some past models from their store, you can check out their links here:

Miniature Monday! Our third release for August :)

Hi everyone,

In our release this Monday, we have two models for you -

  • Prison Cell

  • Stenobeast and his Rider

Prison Cell

This is a reimagining of the shipping container to become a Prison Cell! There are 9 new sections with different arrangements of solid armour panels and prison bars so you can create a variety of unique cell designs. Plus, new end sections and door sections for the container too.

The parts are all compatible with past kits, so I think it would work well to use the container sections with a barred roof for the Food Truck so that cooking vapours can escape.

Alongside the new external parts, we have more internal parts.

There are dividing walls using bars, so you can separate off individual cells and compartment inside the Prison Cell. Some have a door through them to enable you to use them in a situation where you want the feeling of 'rooms' but don't want to secure prisoners in place.

Additionally, there are some prison accessories such as benches for shackling the prisoners to, and a toilet & sink for the back of the container. These parts are compatible with previous releases, and I think the metal benches could even form a waiting room for the Medicant Station.

Finally, in the renders attached to this post, you can see an example of two Prison Cells on the back of the Line Breaker Colossus, creating a Prisoner Transportation Convoy :)

Stenobeast and his Rider

Out in the Brinklands desert, there are tribes and settlements formed of a hardy people who can live in the harsh conditions and withstand the dramatic weather changes. Some say they are the original inhabitants of this planet before it was conquered thousands of years ago and renamed Mortuus Secunda.

These natives are called the Erroish Tribe and they ride the terrifying Stenocara Gigantis creatures as their preferred mode of transport. The leader of the Erroish is a wanted bounty for stealing cargo belonging to a wealthy House during the latest Convoy raid. Danakil will not prove an easy target to capture, but Cressida is confident she's up to the task.

undefined

We hope you enjoy this Monday's release :)

We have our forth and final Miniature Monday release on the 29th August, so stay tuned for that!

Kind regards

Miniature Monday! Our second release for August :)

Hi everyone,

I'm really excited to bring you our second release for August today! This is 2/4 for our collection roll out, and firstly, we bring you a 42 part kit to upgrade your Colossus Heavy Transporter to a Colossus Line Breaker. More on that below.

Secondly, we bring you three new Kaledon Fortis Troop poses:

  • A gunner for the Colossus Line Breaker turret

  • Two relaxed Fortis guards standing at their post.

---> So, how does the Line Breaker Upgrade Kit work? <----

Firstly, you need to use it in conjunction with the Colossus Heavy Transporter which is the base vehicle. This is provided to you in our welcome pack, and you can find a build guide for it in this post here.

The Line Breaker is essentially an up armoured and up gunned version of our Colossus Heavy Transporter.

1. Armoured Crew Compartment

In the Armoured Crew Compartment folder, you will find the parts for an enclosed cab, offering better protection for your crew against the horrors of the Brinkland wastes between city Stacks.

This can have open windows, or you can print the glass inserts in clear resin to get armoured glass viewports.

Along with this, we have a the hydraulic mount for an armoured Ram and then the Ram itself. These can be glued to the bottom of the standard cab.

To offer further protection for the crew, there is also a Catcher plate - an armoured sheet which grants further blast shielding in case anything might explode against the Ram. This attaches to the front of the cab, completing the extra armour for the front.

The Catcher Plate features two forward module slots, which have 5mm magnet holes. In this release we have powerful headlights, but we will have more options in the future.

Finally, we have an armoured Rear Cab wall. This offers an alternative design to the original wall, and along with more armour, it features a surface which can have a module frame attached to it!

2. Cab Module System

The Cab Module System folder contains a system to customise the sides and new rear wall of your Colossus Cab.

Taking the Module Frame, you glue it into place over the large flat panels on the side of the Colossus Cab (and new rear wall). You can then use 5mm magnets in the holes provided to attach and swap the various modules.

We have 14 different options in this release, including armour, sensor suites, exhausts, crew steps, various stowage and more!

3. Turret System

We also have a turret system for our newly armoured Crew Compartment. The pieces are compatible with the Shipping Container module hole too.

Glue the Turret Outer down into position, and then drop the turret inner into it. This will keep the Turret Inner contained, and allow it to move with your troopers feet, so he always has a secure footing.

We then have two weapon mounts, one with a shield and one without. Into those, you have an Autocannon or Grenade launcher option - either with handles, or troopers hands attached (in the Colossus Gunner Troop folder).

Finally we have the top hatch, which attaches to the lug at the back of the turret outer with a little glue.

4. Flat Bed & Cargo System

This month we have a new type of container carrier module as the forth and final folder in the Line Breaker Colossus kit.

This piece has a walkway at the beginning and end of the cargo bay allowing troopers and crew to transit all the way around a cargo container without leaving the vehicle.

We also have a smaller flat bed section which can be inserted into the centre of the standard container carrier module. Simply slot it down in-between the two arms to give you more space for other types of cargo (instead of using the shipping container), or as with so often happens with the Line Breaker, a bigger surface to pack more fire power onto!

You can then use the module slots to attach clamps, hooks, chains, or even firing positions (as seen in the renders). The firing positions can take either of the crew weapons (auto cannon or grenade launcher).

We’ve got two new types of railing to surround the flat bed; these fit into the slots at the front and back of the cargo bay.


That sums up this Miniature Monday release! We hope you like the massive upgrade to our Colossus vehicle and extra Kaldeon Fortis troops :D

You can now download the files from MMF.

Happy printing!

Kind regards

Hi everyone,

I've finished the Build Guide! Thank you for your patience with this :)

Hopefully it is clear and you find it useful. I have added the PDF guide to the open post on Patreon (it isn't possible to add files here yet), and also to the MMF object, so you can download it from both places.

Happy printing!

Miniature Monday! First August characters released :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!

We have the first models for our Hunt Collection finished and ready to print. From the earlier previews, you can now see Cressida's gun, inspired by a flintlock pistol. I have also taken some pictures of the printed characters so you can see how they look in resin. I'm really happy with how they all turned out :D

As well as the characters, we have three new poses for the Kaledon Fortis troops, sitting in the Colossus Cab. A steering wheel has also been added to the Colossus folder and the new Troops folder :) We couldn't do the steering wheel without a driver to fit it around, so apologies for the delay on that one. The poses are of a Driver, a Navigator (telling the driver where to go across the desert) and a Relaxed Trooper in the back, looking at the screens.

We hope you like the first models for August :)

Next week, we will have some terrain releases, so stay tuned to find out what!

Kind regards

Kaledon Fortis - Light Infantry released!

Hi everyone,

This release is outside of our normal Miniature Monday schedule.

Kaledon Fortis is the standing army of our planet, Mortuus Secunda, and over time we will be fully expanding them. This release of 5 troops is the first, and it should have been out in July, but we were unable to finish the set in time. Therefore, these five poses have been added to July & August's collections. Thank you so much for your patience while we finished them :)

This month, we also plan to add more soldiers to the Light Infantry Division - some from the Mechanical Core that pair with the Colossus, and others with Special Weapon Options.

The troops are semi-modular, which means they have modular arms. There are two gun options for the standard troops and two different gun options for the Sergeant. I have also provided the pre-supported mirrored poses so you can add more variety to your squad.

We hope you like them!

If you have any ideas for how to expand this army and poses you would like to see, drop them in the comments below :)

Kind regards

Updates to Colossus Files, and Welcome Packs Released!

If you want to see the images spread out through the text, which is easier to read, head to our open Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/updates-to-files-70004296


Hi everyone,

Some updates in today's post and the release of our TWO Welcome Packs :)

Firstly, we have made some changes to the Colossus files, which are relevant to anyone who downloaded the kit in July.

Colossus File Updates

Note: if you have already downloaded and printed the Colossus files, it's not a problem! The updated pieces all work as they were before the changes , so don't worry :)

However, from now on, please delete your existing Colossus files and download the updated ones from MMF!

Change Log:

1. Colossus Cab

Andy decided that he didn't like the detail on the back of the Colossus Cab section because the two detail boxes on either side of the doorway are symmetrical, which is unrealistic.

So he has changed this detailing entirely, as seen in the image attached to this post.

He has also increased the size of some of the details by the drivers seat to print better on the earlier printers (think Elegoo Mars generation). It's a small tweak.

2. Colossus Rear Wall

Andy has done a similar thing on the Rear Wall detail, giving the lines greater depth to ensure they print crisper on all printers, even the first generation models.

3. Colossus Cab Rear Roof There are two changes here - the first one is a lip has been added around the top of the module hole (you can't see this change in the screenshot), so that the module slot can hold the Air Vent from the basic Shipping Container Kit. This is part of our attempt for our terrain to be highly cross-compatible. You can balance the Air Vent on there now as the hole is the right size, but it doesn't fit perfectly and is wobbly, so we've made that improvement.

At the same time, Andy added detail to a blank section. The space was cut in as a future module slot, but it was bothering him to leave it empty on the base model haha, so he's changed that now :)

4. Colossus Suspension Unit

Andy wanted the fit to be even more secure when you place the Container Carrier piece on here, so he has added two little grippers. It works without, but is a small improvement with.

5. Two Extra Pieces!

Finally, these were going to be in an expansion pack, but we've decided to include them with the base Colossus model instead because the Cab feels too 'blank' without them.

We have a Shelving Unit and the Engineering Console for the back section of the Colossus Cab. You can see how they fit into the back alongside the extra chair in the assembled render.

That's all the file updates! Sorry for an inconvenience, everyone.

Note 2: We will have a Build Guide for the Colossus Heavy Transporter coming out soon.

TWO Welcome Packs

Last month, we chose to have our February 2022 Night Market collection as the Welcome Pack and this went down very well! So, we'll pick a past collection for a few more months to be included as a Throwback Welcome Pack. This month it is July 2021's Outbreak in an Evil Lab!

However, new subscribers also need the Colossus Heavy Transporter and the Modular Shipping Container Kit as we are expanding and building on those kits during August, so they form our Mortuus Secunda Welcome Pack :)

I have added those to MMF now, so you will receive a notification to redeem them.

August Release Schedule

We plan to release miniatures on four Miniature Mondays across the month, starting on Monday 8th August and ending on Monday 29th August :)

Enjoy the Welcome Packs and speak to you soon!

Kind regards

PREVIEW! Three Characters for August 2022: The Hunt Collection

Hi everyone,

We managed to get three renders done to give you a small taste of next month!

I'm so sorry we don't have more to reveal this time. As our long time supporters will know, we're always running late! Your continuing patience with us is truly appreciated :) Our aim with every collection is always to make the best possible miniatures that we can, and that tends to create a rolling lateness. I still have faith that one day we'll catch up though.


Attached to this post, you can see three unique characters:

Cressida is the formidable Bounty Hunter in charge of this mission. She has been hired by a wealthy House to hunt down a valuable charge. She always works with her faithful Ammo Bearer, Mercia who ensures they remain well stocked with high quality ammo.

Cressida has also taken the decision to hire a mercenary from the lower Stacks, a grizzled man who goes by the name of Gallows. He doesn't speak much and is merciless in a fight, exactly what Cressida needs for a dangerous mission in the Brinkland wastes!

We hope you like these characters :)

The narrative of August 2022 is therefore the story of this Hunt. The trio are using The Convoy - a land train of sorts that continually travels across the wastes between Hab Stack cities - to reach their target, hauling along with them a Prison Cell to contain their bounty.


Thank you so much for your support this month. We are beyond grateful for all our amazing new subscribers! We're excited to keep developing the world of Mortuus Secunda and to expand July's kits.

Kind regards

A Collaboration with House Bharteth - a Beast and a Bastard!

Hi everyone,

We have one final collaboration this month to finish July with a bang! :D It's been an incredible month of working with other artists, and we're so happy to get to collaborate with Andrew over at the House Bharteth Tribe and Patreon :)

House Bharteth creates unique characters each month with their own lore so you can easily add them into your games. For our lovely subscribers, they have provided Cody the Bastard and an exotic beast called a Methgale! Is it just me or is the Methgale kind of cute haha? :P

You can now download these miniatures from your Library to conclude July's STLs!

Kind regards

Gem & Andy


Now let's here directly from House Bharteth:

"Cody the Bastard is a promotional model for the full range of Cody versions through the House Bharteth Patreon and Tribes during the month of July. The full range comes with two additional versions each with additional arm options. It is also available as pre-supported or unsupported.

In addition to the three Cody's, there is also the next instalment of the monthly Scenario NPC, the Enslaver Portal (with 3 different 'legs'), as well as the psychopathic Councillor Frangiskos and his 'pet' Underhive Cudbear.

Each month a new character model with multiple options along with their lore, artwork and character cards will be released as well as three other models: the Scenario NPC as voted by the Patrons, a Dignitary NPC and an Exotic Beast. There is also a range of physical swag available like House Coins, Dice and printed models."

UPDATES: Colossus Heavy Transporter! Kaledon Fortis Troops? August's collection?

Hi everyone,

As you might have noticed yesterday, we finally released the Colossus Heavy Transporter for our newly named Figure Friday, which happened because we were running late and missed the final Miniature Monday of the month. Sorry!

This Colossus is the base version. Over time, we will add to and develop this kit - we believe it has a lot of possibilities! If you have any ideas for Colossus upgrades & versions, drop your thoughts below.

Kaledon Fortis Troops

As we mentioned in the initial collection outline, we intended to have a set of 5 semi-modular troops in this release. Unfortunately, one of our amazing sculptors suffered a family bereavement and has been unable to finish them :(

They're really close though! I have attached some printed pictures of the captain and a kneeling trooper to show you what they look like. We're still perfecting two of the five poses. It's really tough to get a natural firing pose with such large guns in heroic scale, but we're getting there.

Hopefully you like their uniform :)

Kaledon Fortis is the army of our planet, Mortuus Secunda. These are the basic troopers, but we will have lots of other versions from heavy weapons to snipers to riders etc. Whatever you like really!

Again, pop any ideas for the future expansion of this unit below.

When will I get the Fortis Troops?

They should be finished within the next week*.* To be fair to everyone, they will be included within the July release - I can add files to this month's access group at any time - and within the August release.

The reason for that is because it would be a weird experience for new subscribers if I post renders and announce their release in early August, but they don't get access to them.

It's also unavoidable at this point that they will be finished in August, so it's only fair that any people who do not remain subscribed next month will still get access to them :)

What's The Plan for August?

'THE HUNT' Collection

At the moment, we have a plan and three almost finished characters, which will be in our first release on Miniature Monday 8th August. We hope to get the renders of these characters previewed tomorrow!

However, if you liked this month's collection, next month builds on and expands everything, so we hope you will love August's collection too.

So what's the plan then?

These are our ideas so far, but feel free to add your thoughts in the comments section and they might be sculpted!

- Line-Breaker Colossus: weapon upgrades and extra armour, so your transporter is battle ready!

- Weapons Pack for a Shipping Container conversion: we're pretty flexible here. Definitely weapons and ammo for a standard cargo set, and then bits to upgrade your container e.g. a canon for the side hatch in the container, a weapon systems for the module hole on top, targeting consoles for the inside etc. We'll see how the kit turns out!

Three unique characters:

  • Cressida Atlas: a wealthy lady of leisure turned Bounty Hunter
  • Savage Gallows: a hired mercenary from the bowls of the Hab Stacks
  • Mercia Ferric: an Ammo Bearer by profession, often working with Cressida on the more dangerous missions

- A Prison Cell kit for a Shipping Container conversion: the concept here is that the shipping container can become a mobile prison/ interrogation room, perfect for bounty hunters. We figure it can be separated into a couple of cells for people, or one big reinforced cell for creatures. Plus, a way to turn it into an interrogation room instead. With the size flexibility of the containers, you could have a small two section long interrogation unit, maybe we could call it the 'Truth Taker' or something else ominous. Then you can have a larger container to house the caught bounties.

- Kaledon Fortis troop expansion: this was always planned for next month. We will have probably 4-5 more poses for the main squad with special weapons this time, and then at least 3 poses for driving the Colossus Hauler & operating the weapons.

That's all the ideas we have for August at the moment :)

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Kind regards

Miniature Monday - we're late! WIP of the Heavy Hauler.

Note: if you want to read a version of this article with the images spread throughout the post, you can check out our Patreon version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/69570131


Hello everyone,

Andy here - I’m sorry we’re running a bit later than expected this week! Miniature Monday is going to have to be miniature Friday, it seems, even if it doesn't quite ring the same haha!

The reason for the delay is that the Colossus Heavy Hauler is taking a little longer to complete than I initially expected. I thought I might have a quick chat with you all about the kit and how it has changed since I first thought of including something like that in one of our collections.

When I first considered producing something like the Colossus, it was at the start of the collection timeline and none of the initial sculpting had taken place yet. I envisioned it as more of an ancillary piece, with the main focus being on the characters and their shipping container vendor kits.

The Colossus specification was a very simple one - to be about the same size as a Cargo 8 and to be able to carry our vendors across the Brinkland wastes of Mortuus Secunda.

As sculpting got underway, and I really waded into the vendor kits, it quickly became clear that the Colossus would have to be more involved than I initially anticipated. There were many new considerations, the primary of which was that our vendor's shops could be 3, 4, 5 or any number of shipping container ‘segments’ long. This went against the ‘static’ design I had roughed out - so to accommodate these new changes, we were going to need a much more flexible design!

I therefore split our Colossus core chassis into two types of segments. One type with a suspension unit on either side, which accommodates the wheels, and one type as a joiner.

These pieces would then slot together in a 1-2-1 configuration to produce the core frame.

So why two parts, and not just one in a 1-1-1 configuration? This was mostly to do with building effective joints for the pieces. In a single-piece repeated design, it can be a challenge to make effective joints. With that type of design, you are usually just gluing flat surfaces to each other. This CAN be fine, but with larger miniatures like vehicles, you’re often going to get a much more practical result if you use sockets and joints.

The structure we’ve ended up with here is strong even without using magnets in the included holes.

During the design process, I measured our core chassis pieces up against our shipping containers, ensuring that we could match the spacing between the segments of the chassis, and the shipping container segments. I wanted to make sure we could attach a module to hold the shipping container on top of each suspension unit.

This setup also allows us to add another piece and make a variety of wheel layouts by just swapping one piece out - making it easy to create an interesting-looking Colossus or a method of differentiating trailers from an actual Colossus.

On the subject of trailers, you’ll of course be able to create your own trailers with this kit. I know for one I’m going to be making a monster land train, with a huge Colossus up front pulling a hoard of ‘mini’ trailers haha.

Speaking of wheels, these are pretty chunky so I’ve designed them as a two-part system. This saves resin while keeping them easy to clean. They are also separate from the suspension for easy painting.

The blank ends of the chassis can then accommodate different end pieces, from simple utility hooks to the crew cab itself!

While these pieces aren't quite ready yet, I’ll talk a little about our crew compartment.

This is larger and more substantial than other transport vehicles you might have seen out there.

In our cockpit, we have a pilot and co-pilot, responsible for driving the Colossus across the wastes of Mortuus Secunda. In between them, we have a small hatchway into a compartment behind the cockpit where the navigator/gunner sits at his terminal. We then have a hatch leading out to the roof for a more mark one eyeball approach to navigation.

This hatch will also accommodate automated turrets/manned guns in the future Combat Colossus pack (these will also be compatible with the module holes in the shipping containers).

Once we’ve got the chassis complete we can choose what modules to go on top. In this initial release, we will be including the container transport module, but we have plans for a huge number of possibilities here! I’d love for the opportunity to create everything from troop transport systems to artillery for the Colossus Heavy Hauler.

I’ve added our Food Truck container, so you can check out the fit.

Finally, we’ll have parts to secure your containers to the bed - we don't want them being accidentally ejected on rough terrain after all!

I’ve absolutely loved working on this kit so far and I can't wait to get it in your hands. Just a little longer while I finalize the last few parts and we get everything print tested and checked.

Thank you so much for your patience everyone!

Kind regards

Andy

A Collaboration with Tesseract Tomb - Industrial Train STL!

Hi everyone,

We're really excited to be collaborating with Tesseract Tomb this month for a mini swap! I think Daniel makes some incredible miniatures over on his Tribe and Patreon, which are very complementary to our designs :)

In fact, this month he has released an Industrial Train, which transports cargo like Shipping Containers! Since we have both designed our containers to be compatible with popular game systems, it's highly likely that our converted containers will sit on the back of his train. Such a cool bit of synergy :D

For the collaboration, he has provided the Train Engine and Tracks, supported for resin or cut for FDM. If you like the miniatures and decide to sign up, you will get the flat beds & cargo from July's release too :)

The gift miniature has been added to your MMF library now. Happy printing!

Let's here from Daniel below: undefined Hi Everyone,

I'm Daniel from Tesseract Tomb. I design larger sets of themed miniatures and terrain that fit together on the table like some LEGO sets. Each month either a new theme is revealed or an older one is revisited and expanded upon. My current goal is to design a whole industrial sector with machines, vehicles and buildings to fill a 6x4 table with it.

For this month I designed an Industrial Train system to fill your tables with Choo Choo noises. This train is perfect for any daring heist in the Underhive or out in the Ash Wastes either as terrain or a vehicle. I will heavily update this kit in the coming months so you will be able to build a huge trainyard. The Engine comes in pre-supported format ready for resin printing.

If you like my designs come check out my Patreon or Tribes:

https://www.patreon.com/TesseractTomb

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/tesseracttomb

Ts and Cs

The digital files are for Personal Use Only. They cannot be sold or distributed for free. If you are a Print Minis merchant, you will need to get a merchant license from Tesseract Tomb to sell the physical prints.

Miniature Monday - Medicant Station released!

Hi everyone,

For this Miniature Monday release, we have our second and final shipping container conversion kit - the Medicant Station! It is designed to be used by Ezrin, our Rogue Doctor, and can treat patients who need drugs, diagnosis or even surgery by the Auto Doc robot.

Use the Shipping Container Kit already released and our new scatter pack of contents to convert it!

We hope you like it :)

Final plans for July:

We were going to release some military cargo this month too, but the Food Truck and Medicant Station kits ended up taking longer than expected to sculpt as we made them larger, so the cargo will be in next month's release instead :)

So what can you expect for the rest of this month?

To finish off the collection, we have the Heavy Hauler vehicle which can transport the shipping containers, and a set of modular Kaledon Fortis troops to guard the Convoy.

Happy printing!

Kind regards

Gem & Andy

Update Post :)

Hi everyone,

A quick update post for you about a few things :)

1. Small File Update to Food Truck

There was a fit issue with "Shipping Container - Accessory - External - Sign with Lights - Single Slot" in that the signs we created for the Food Truck didn't quite fit inside this holder.

We tested the fit with the other sign holder, but not the sign with lights, thinking it would be the same. However when we built our printed diorama, we noticed the issue. It's now fixed and the zipped file has been updated.

If you've printed one already, we're so sorry about that!

2. Krell - Tentacle Option

A subscriber asked for a version of Krell holding something other than a severed limb, so that you can use him in storylines where your characters are not cannibals haha!

We thought this was a good idea - after all, his famous Gribble can be made with any source of protein. So we have an alternative sculpt where he is holding a tentacle instead ;) Could be octopus, could be alien, whatever you like! That has been added to the Krell object on MMF.

3. Printed Pictures of the Food Truck!

Yesterday, I took some pictures of our printed Food Truck in all it's glory and wanted to share them with you :)

It was so exciting to see this vision come to life, and I think it turned out so amazing. It makes me want to buy a shipping container and convert it in real life :P

If you print this kit too, please share your pics in our Discord! > https://discord.gg/rdfh2nnz49

4. Will you help us grow?

If you like our models and want to help us out, it would be amazing if you could post about us in your Facebook groups, Discords, social media profiles, Reddit forums etc!

Recommendations from our community helps massively, and is definitely better than me posting about our models, since I'm rather biased ;)

The posts don't have to be anything fancy, and you're welcome to use any of our renders or printed pics if you cannot take your own. Thank you!


That's all for updates! We'll be back on the 18th July with our next Miniature Monday release :D

Kind regards

Miniature Monday - Shipping Container Food Truck released! + bases

Hi everyone,

We're really excited to release our first Content Kit for the modular Shipping Container today! Hopefully, you've all been able to print a container or two over the week, and have also printed Krell, the Protein Cook :)

Shipping Container Food Truck (25 pieces)

Now you can print a full set of Food Truck contents to transform your shipping container into a mobile slop kitchen!** **There are cooking stations, giant bubbling pots of the protein rich stew Gribble, storage tanks, shop signs, chopping stations and eating tables. It's so cool!

This terrain kit belongs to the Protein Cook character, Krell.

Also...

We have designed working chains :D

I'm so excited about this. You print them pre-supported, remove the supports (carefully), and the chain links are all connected and mobile! Just cure it and the chain works.

We have designed them to hold up the window hatches for the container, and also to suspend a big pot of stew over the burner. If you touch the pot, it will swing!

I'll have some printed pictures and the branded renders to share with you tomorrow - we're running a little late on those things.

Note: The chain system for the container windows/hatches has been added to the Shipping Container object folder on MMF. The food truck terrain is in a new object folder.


25mm Wasteland Bases x 8

As well as the Food Truck terrain, we have also released eight bases to match our Brinklands desert theme! You can use these for the characters in this month's release - the three we have shared so far, and the ones to come during the rest of the month :)


What do you think?

I love what Andy has designed with the food truck contents, and I'm excited to see where these modular shipping containers take us as we continue to add to them!

There will be two more terrain kits for the shipping containers this month:

  • Med Bay Station for Ezrin, the Independent Doctor

  • Military Cargo scatter

Thank you so much for your support. Make sure to download and print the Food Truck terrain so you're all caught up before next week's release :D

Kind regards,

Gem & Andy

Changes to our Loyalty Rewards! Will you get yours?

Hi everyone,

This month we've changed our theme, scale and proportions, meaning that the original loyalty rewards aren't really in keeping with our new direction anymore.

As well as that, we feel that it's time for a change since we've had those same rewards for quite a while now! It's also a big ask to stay with us for 6 or 9 consecutive months to earn a specific miniature.

So we have a new plan, which I will outline in this post.

Firstly though, what happens to those of you aiming for one of the old rewards?

Will you still get your Loyalty Reward?

Yes!

Anyone who was due a loyalty reward in June or July has been given access via MMF :)

We have also give access to those of you that are just 1 month away from earning the next loyalty reward, since you're so close.

If you think you should have access, but don't see the reward in the Objects Shared With Me folder, just reach out and I'll sort it out.

New Plan For Loyalty Rewards Going forwards, we're going to have a new loyalty reward every 3 months!

Whenever you subscribe, if you stay with us for 3 consecutive months, you will earn the latest loyalty reward. There will be a new one available every 3 months, so if you stay with us continuously, you'll be able to collect them all for free :)

After the miniature is no longer a loyalty reward, it will be available on the store, so if you miss one, you can always grab it. The plan is that the rewards will all work together and build on each other.

The rewards will also be smaller in scope that the previous ones, which will enable us to do a new one every 3 months (instead of only making three in total, like with the 3, 6 and 9 month rewards up to now).

This new system means that you always have a reward to look forward to, even after you've been with us for 9 months. It's also kinder because if you have a skip a month for whatever reason, no problem. When you restart, you only have to stay with us for 3 months again to gain the next loyalty reward :D

Frequently Asked Questions about Loyalty Rewards

  1. The reward is for consecutive months of subscription, one after the other.

  2. You can be on Patreon, Tribes, or swap places during your 3 months.

  3. You can cancel your subscription initially, but then choose to subscribe again during the month and it still counts.

  4. The only thing we look for when calculating the loyalty rewards is a payment  from the same email address for three consecutive months.

I hope all of this makes sense and you are happy with the changes :)

What happens to the old Loyalty Rewards?

They will be added to the store for sale.

I will be adding those to the store within the next week, so if you've always wanted to own The Falcon but could never stay with us for 9 months in a row, now is your chance to grab it!


If you have any questions or concerns, drop us a message or a comment :)

Kind regards

Miniature Monday! Our first July release :)

Hi everyone,

I have added the first wave of July's files to My Mini Factory, so you should have received the email inviting you to redeem them now!

In this first wave release, you have:

  • Ezrin, the Independent Doctor character
  • Krell, the Protein Cook + his protein tank and grinder as a separate pre-supported STL for kitbashing
  • Servus Orvo, the Renegade Sensitive
  • The modular Shipping Container kit

Modular Shipping Containers!

A little more about this kit. These shipping containers are the basis of our Convoy, which can move supplies or mobile 'pop up' shops. Therefore you have container sections with 'windows' cut in the side that can be opened to sell goods at the destination. You can see that in the recent, coloured renders on this post.

The scatter packs for store contents will be revealed and released later this month!

The containers are made of sections that can be glued or magnetized together (we have pre-cut the magnet holes). If you connect three parts together, you have a standard shipping container size. You can also connect two pieces together to have a small container, or four + pieces to have an extra large one.

As well as sections with window cut outs in the side, there is a section with a module hole on the top. This is fully compatible with accessories from another popular manufacturer, so all your plastic accessories should fit our printed container, and all our bonus accessories should fit theirs :D Hopefully!

As well as a vent accessory for this module hole, you’ll get weapon mounts and a hatch system for accessing the roof of your containers. The insides will also get some ‘military accessories’ such as weapon racks and ammo benches. Also a hand rail piece for the inside, which is great when your container is carrying troops, and a stand off armour piece for the outside for additional protection, which will clip onto our shipping containers (or another popular manufacturers).

Finally, the door works!! It's a small thing but the door (and the armoured windows) both have working hinges so you can open and close the shipping container door :D Yay.

We really hope you like this modular set! We will be adding and expanding on what a shipping container can do across this month and the coming months :)

Welcome Pack

The welcome pack for this month is the entire Night Market Collection, and that has also been shared with you on MyMiniFactory. Remember those models are in our old scale & style! They're still epic though ;)

Kind regards

Our New Scale - What does it actually look like? Comparison pictures!

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone for your comments and feedback on our post explaining a few changes :)

I know for some of you, the changes have not been welcome and I'm so sorry for that. Others have been excited and supportive, and that has meant the world to us!

We will be doing our best to address any questions across this month, and one of those is about our scale. So I'll be honest here, scale in wargaming bamboozles me! Something can be a 32mm scale, but measured to the eye or the top of the head. Games Workshop is supposed to be a 28mm scale (although maybe their recent releases are changing that?), but not all of their figures measure 28mm. When we first started, our scale was 36mm to the top of the head, but some people said the figures fit perfectly in with their 32mm scale games. Confusing lol.

So, what is our new scale?

Well, I don't know! I guess it's either 28mm or 32mm heroic, depending on how you measure things?

We have matched it to the latest release of Necromunda and Kill Team, since we had those figures on hand Our scale is also now in 'heroic' proportions aka chunky. I hope we've managed to sculpt these proportions without the figures looking odd, as some heroic minis can be weird to look at. I'm happy with ours so far!

To better illustrate the scale change, I've photographed our latest characters from Mortuus Secunda next to some Games Workshop figures, and also next to our last Bounty Hunter release.

Now you can decide if you like it or not :)

Photo Gallery:

In the photo gallery attached to this post, you will find:

Our Figures Compared to GW

Our Figures in July Compared to Our Figures in June

Will we be updating past minis?

The short answer is no. It would take far too much work! Plus, they exist with proportions that some people may prefer, and so I think they're fine to be standalone releases not connected to our new world.

However, if there are characters that people love and would fit into Mortuus Secunda, it's possible we can reimagine them with our new scale/ proportions and include them in a future release. Let's see!

Summary

I hope this article has helped to better illustrate our scale change. In my opinion, it's not that big and you can probably still use our new characters with the old ones, if you want to :) Certainly, looking at the size comparison, I think our old terrain will still work with our new figures.

What do you guys think?

I'm really happy with the new style. It feels less breakable after printing, and the detail is easier to paint. The figures will be more robust and can now work with one of the most popular game systems, which should be more useful for everyone, even if you don't play an GW games since GW is often a benchmark for other game scales too :)

Anyway, thank you for your support and opinions! If you have any other thoughts or questions, pop them down below.

Kind regards,

July Collection Previews - Changes to Print Minis!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lateness of this preview post! We wanted as many models ready to share with you as possible, since we're changing things a bit next month.

Why are we changing things?

Last month, we asked for anyone with marketing experience to drop us an email with advice - this is because we really need your help growing the Print Minis community! Although we're overjoyed to be where we are today, and appreciate all of our subscribers very much, we haven't increased in numbers for the last 8 months. This showed us we need to improve things for the community.

From our plea for help, we got some fantastic responses with lots of feedback on things you love about Print Minis, as well as things we need to improve on. Thank you to everyone who sent us your thoughts; it's been an eye opening process! We can now see a series of obvious mistakes we've been making, and how we can do better going forwards :)

Scale

The biggest change, and most frequently mentioned bit of feedback, was regarding scale. We've been out of scale for a lot of your favourite games - and despite our recent scale tweak, we haven't really nailed it. This has lead to resizing pains for many of you, as well as challenges printing, painting and using our minis.

We want a more seamless experience for our community, and for you to be able to insert our characters into your games easily. So with that in mind, we are swapping to a 28mm heroic scale, in line with the most common game systems.  We're really excited about this change - not only will it make our minis more compatible with your games, but it will make them better to paint too!

Andy - "I can attest to this, as someone with shaky hands, I still really enjoyed getting some paint on our unaffiliated doc this month!"

Faction Continuity/ Theme

Our next change is how we design our collections.  In the past, they have been a little ad-hoc at times, not really building into a cohesive narrative for you guys to enjoy. We also don't add to previous releases, in terms of factions or terrain, so everything has been more standalone rather than collectable.

This changes with our new world!

We will be exploring the planet of Morduus Secunda - a brutal world of extremes, from the smog chocked warrens of the industrial Hab Stacks heaving with manufacturing and trade, to the sprawling and desolate Brinklands, where bandits roam outside the city limits and unknown creatures lurk beneath the sands. All our releases will take place here and be cohesive from now on.

Our releases will also be moving back towards our version of Dieselpunk :)

Set Compatibility

This was a big weakness for us up to now. Few of our sets have been cross compatible - I know a lot of you have asked if scenery from set A could be joined to set B and embarrassingly, the answer is usually no :(.

This changes going forwards! We will be creating distinct factions and characters, and will continually add to them each month. Past characters will be expanded upon, terrain will all interconnect, vehicle guns will work with one another, modular character parts can be interchanged, and so on!

We are going to design our collections with as much back and forwards compatibility as possible. Gone are the days were sets don't integrate together, and factions you like never have another release. We'll also be offering magnetisation where possible, hopefully meaning you'll have to print less to still get the units and terrain you need for each game!

July's Collection - The Convoy

So, with all of this in mind, our first collection on Morduus Secunda is The Convoy. This is a series of Heavy Hauler vehicles transporting merchants, weapons and drifters across the Brinklands. You'll get modular containers, two merchants and their cargo, troops guarding the convoy, and the big hauler itself!

Renders - Sneak Peek

Very few models are finished, but hopefully you like what you see below and will enjoy our return to Dieselpunk and the new scale!

Let us know what you think in the comments! Thank you so much for all your support :)

Kind regards

Gem & Andy

PS - new logo and render style!! Yay!

Free Raiju Diorama STLs!

Hi everyone,

This is a bit of a random post, but one of our lovely subscribers - Fabio - used some modular character parts from our Zadorn citizen kits (the Night Market citizens and Casino patrons, which are compatible sets) to create a cool diorama.

Originally, he combined the parts to make two characters relaxing on the Think Tank STL from Turnbase Miniatures. He then painted this gorgeous diorama, which he called the Tachikoma Diorama.

We were really inspired by this scene and wanted to create something we could share for free with the community, so we used the Raiju Bot from this month's release! Plus, a crate of beers from The Broken Chip Casino collection.

On this post, you can see some printed pictures of our finished diorama. We love how this turned out!

All those files - the Raiju bot, beer and two complete characters - have been added to MMF for free. They are pre-supported and print really great :) If you would like to re-create this scene, or you know a friend that would enjoy it, you can send them to our MMF store.

Raiju Diorama - free download

Thank you so much!

Kind regards

Miniature Monday! Final June files released incl. Intruder Gunship :D

Hi everyone,

It's the final Miniature Monday of the month, and this completes our June collection - The Bounty Hunter's Guild!

The Intruder Gunship

Note: this upload is only partially complete at the moment. Everything is ready to download and print except for the cockpit & glass, because we're struggling to get the hinge to work properly and the glass to fit neatly when closed.

I have another version on the printer today, so we expect to have those final STLs uploaded by the 29th June. However, there are lots of parts to start printing today! These pictures were taken by Fraser from @thingsi3Dprinted, who helped with the supporting this month :)

Check back in a couple of days to download the cockpit STLs.

Also, we added a pilot to the cockpit! An additional post for Gabriela, the Bounty Hunter, sitting inside her ship.

Sci-Fi Tiles x9

These were requested by people in our Discord! We've done a lot of different bases over time, and for the Bounty Hunter theme, it seemed like more warehouse style bases were the only thing that worked. So instead of doing something similar to what we've done before, we designed a set of tiles to make sci-fi floors with!

They are quite thin pieces, around 3.5cm, so they are very resin conservative. That means it isn't unreasonable to print a lot of them for your floor design. The details also came out lovely in test printing, and are flat to allow characters and scatter to be placed unhindered.

Let us know what you think about these in the comments!

We hope you like June's collection! I know it's a bit different to what we usually do, which is often more focused on terrain rather than characters, robots & drones. It was really good to change things a bit this month :)

Next Month

We'll be previewing next month on the 29th June, hopefully!

We're doing things a bit differently; for example, changing our scale to 28mm heroic so our miniatures are more widely applicable and easier to paint, and adjusting our style to be more dieselpunk again. This all means it's taken a bit longer to get the models in their final state.

We'll only have a few to preview, but we're really excited about our plans for July and will explain them to you, so look out for that post soon :)

Kind Regards,

Gem & Andy

DnD is a Woman Campaign - Free STL :)

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick post to let you know about a collaboration we're doing with The Printing Goes Ever On and their new crowd funding campaign.

The month, we have contributed 6 of our female miniatures to the DnD is a Woman campaign! As a predominantly female team (poor Andy haha :P), we love to see more varied representations of woman in both fantasy and sci-fi games :) This crowd funding project is a fantastic way to provide more character options to the community.

We're not involved in any direct way, we just believe in the idea :) Our miniatures are being shared for free with the backers to promote more realistic women in sci-fi too.

If you would like to know more about the project, and download Ellenor - The Human Fighter, which is a free sample STL, you can head to their crowdfunding page:

https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/dnd-is-a-woman-760

Thank you!

Kind regards

More Miniatures Revealed for June's Collection!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post this weekend to reveal some more miniatures included in this month's Bounty Hunter collection :)

The Squark

First up, a cute ugly animal companion!

We imagine that this animal companion would go with Zhor, our orc-like bounty hunter. However, you could actually pair him with anyone you want :) He is very angry all the time, but will accept all food as a peace offering.

The Rook

This is the final drone included in June's collection, which has ended up quite drone themed :) It is a ground drone, prepared for all terrain. It was designed to go with Diablo, our military aesthetic bounty hunter who favours big guns :D

Area Denial Systems

These are the only terrain pieces in June's collection. If you've been subscribed for a while, you'll know we often make very terrain heavy collections, so it's been great this month to focus on cool characters and more drones/ machines!

However, it wouldn't be Print Minis without some terrain, so here is a scatter pack of various mines, submunitions and rockets. Any of the bounty hunters can use these to catch their targets unawares, and of course, dead or alive ;)

The pre-supported versions of these minis will be released on the next Miniature Monday!

Kind regards

Miniature Monday - STL Release and more Renders!

Hi everyone,

It's Miniature Monday again and I have some fun things to share with you today :D

Firstly, I constantly forget to remind people of this, but please join our Discord: https://discord.gg/rdfh2nnz49

Now, some more renders to reveal for models in this month's Bounty Hunter release:

The Medusa Drone

The Medusa is paired with our Bounty Hunter, Nikita! We have taken some inspiration from the design of Nikita's tail and incorporated similar shapes to connect the two aesthetically.

Nikita is from off-world and employs advanced technology in her armour and robotic tail, which is also found in Medusa too. The drone is connected to Nikita's headset so she can control it with a thought. A deadly duo! The drone comes with a flight stand too, but it isn't in the render.

Raiju Bots

These little robots are so cute :D It's a modular set that comes with four different leg options (more armour, less armour and versions with straight wheels or turned wheels) as well as two different body options, so you could actually make four unique combat bots as loyal companions for your heroes!

They have been paired with our Samurai bounty hunters, Haru and Kaito :) Again, we took inspiration from the hunters' hats to tie them together visually with their robots.

We hope you like these two new miniatures!

Miniature Monday STL Release

So what do you have to play with today? Well, we have added THREE miniatures to our MMF access group, so you can now download and print the following models:

  • The Mantis Drone
  • The Medusa Drone
  • The Raiju Bots

They've all been test printed and look great :) We shared the Medusa drone on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceo8ioPNZOw/

Andy is finishing the last miniature for the Bounty Hunter release today, and then it's on to the July collection! I will reveal more renders soon, maybe on Friday, to showcase the remaining models in June's collection. There are three unrevealed models and a whole set of tiles to showcase :D

What do you think of the new miniatures? Let us know in the comments!

Kind regards

A Collaboration with Ratman Forge - free Space Captain mini!

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a great week :) To celebrate reaching Friday, we have a fun collaboration for you today with the creator Ratman Forge.

He has shared his Space Captain from June's release with her awesome robotic parrot :) Within June's collection are some more nautical themed miniatures, including a robot shark!

The Space Captain has been added to MMF so you should now have access in your library.

Let's here directly from Ratman Forge:

Miniature Mondays! New Release Schedule Idea :)

Hi everyone,

Two posts in one day :D

So, we're going to try something different with the release schedule. As you might know if you've been with us for a while, we generally haven't finished making the miniatures for the current month until the middle of that month.

How it used to work

Andy is our sculptor for the terrain, vehicles and most robots, which is a large part of the monthly releases, and he has unfortunately been unwell on and off since January. That has put us behind schedule and we've just been unable to catch up!

So we tend to release the first minis on the 10th of the month, as many as we've been able to finish, support and test print, and then the other models are released in either one or two other batches during the rest of the month.

How it will work going forwards

We thought we could make this very random schedule more interesting and engaging for our subscribers by releasing some miniatures every Monday!

That way, almost once per week across your subscription month, you have some new miniatures to look forward to :D We'll reveal the renders in posts as we have been doing, but some pre-supported models will be out every Monday. You won't know what's coming, only that you've seen a render for those models previously, so it will be a surprise. What do you think?

It's similar to what we're doing now, except there will be more of a structure to the releases across the month, so you know what to expect and can hopefully get excited!

Miniature Monday - 6th June Release :D

On that note, surprise! All the bounty hunter characters have been supported and test printed by the wonderful Fraser from @thingsi3dprinted, so you can now download and print:

  • Gabriela
  • Dakari
  • Nikita
  • Relentless
  • Haru
  • Kaito
  • Jesi Zanes
  • Diablo
  • Electra
  • Zhor

We hope you enjoy these unique characters - they were a lot of fun to imagine and design, and look awesome off the printer :)

Kind regards

Gem and Andy

More renders for June: final 3 Bounty Hunters revealed!

Hi everyone,

So the full line up of 10 sci-f bounty hunters is now finished :D

Here are the new characters for you to check out:

Diablo

This fearsome fighter is ex-military and prefers to fight with big guns, but isn't afraid to physically take down his target either! His go to strategy is to go in guns blazing and it's worked for him so far. He won't tell you how he lost his arm and damaged his jaw, but if rumours are to be believed, it was in a terrible incident at a government lab that conveniently, no-one else survived.

Electra

Electra loves technology. She's a trained fighter, but she isn't physically strong and so she commissioned a set custom tech armour to protect her. Why not upgrade to include a pair of hover wings too? This way she can access her target where ever they are! The sate of the art tracking technology in the suit also give her unrivalled data when out in the field.

Zhor

Zhor is from a long history of bounty hunters. His father taught him everything he knows, and his grandfather taught his father before that. He enjoys the thrill of the hunt and of taking down a large target, so he often takes on creature bounties. When he was just a boy he killed his first Grikka over on the icy Kaltoss plateaux to test his strength. Now he hunts the nasty beasts as a hobby, and has earned the whispered nickname of 'monster slayer'.

We hope you like the entire crew of bounty hunters included in this month's release! We will reveal more miniatures as they are ready, so keep an eye out :)

Kind regards

More renders for June: Gunships, Drones and Cowboys, oh my!

Hi everyone,

Over the next couple of weeks as we complete the Bounty Hunter's Guild collection, I'll be sharing the renders with you, so make sure to keep an eye on our Patreon feed :)

Some of the Bounty Hunters in this release (maybe all of them, but no promises!) will be getting a miniature to go with them - it might be a drone, a ship, a robot or possibly a piece of terrain. We're still figuring that out.

So far I have three new miniatures to share with you!

The Intruder Gunship

This gunship is a one-man craft designed for our ex-military female bounty hunter, Gabriela. It has three different gun option as well as an open cockpit version. Yes, some much requested interior detail, woohoo! :D

The Mantis Drone

For our alien bounty hunter Dakari, we have an insect-inspired drone called The Mantis. You can print as many of these as you like to create a small army of drones that he controls from his headset!

Jesi Zanes

Finally, we have another Bounty Hunter to share with you today, the legendary Jesi Zanes! He is the fastest sharp shooter in the galaxy and is a veteran hunter. We packed as much Cowboy swagger as we could into this character and I think he turned out great :D

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Kind regards

The Distillery Factory Scenery Revealed!

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your patience again this month :) I know we're constantly running behind schedule, but hopefully the terrain in this post makes it worth the wait! We're in the process of supporting the scenery kit and expect it to be supported and available to print around the 25th May.

For now, here is an overview of the terrain and the renders!

The Distillery Scenery Kit

This entire kit is designed to work together. Everything connects, so you can create a unique factory floor and production line. We have:

  • Modular walkway kit
  • Modular pipe kit
  • Gorecap mushroom Grow Chambers (large & small)
  • The Grinders
  • The Cookers
  • Distillation Machines
  • The Dispensers

Together, these machines can all be connected by pipes and walkways to create a large factory designed to grow, harvest, ferment and sell the Gorecap mushrooms as the hallucinogenic drink, Souldance! This terrain kit can actually be used in many different settings though where you need a highly customisable factory as a terrain piece for your game.

We hope you like the kit :D Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Kind regards

Wave 1 Distillery Collection released!

Hi everyone,

I've now released the first wave of the Distillery collection miniatures :) They've been pre-supported and print tested, and are ready to download from MMF. If you don't see them in your library, just drop us a message.

Two new characters revealed:

The Chemist: he works with the exotic ingredients to create the Distillery's famous drugs and hallucinogenic drinks. Souldance was his magnus opus.

The Tester: Curtis is a volunteer drug tester for the Distillery, trying out the new creations as a human guinea pig. He is now so hooked on drugs that he cannot leave. The Distillery literally keeps his body functioning.

Wave 1 files available now:

  • The Chemist
  • Curtis, the Tester
  • Distillery Workers (modular kit)
  • Trixie, the Delivery Girl
  • Raven, the Zoologist
  • The Botanist
  • Salamagna alien frogs
  • The Death Stalker Robot Kit

We hope you like the two new characters and are excited to start printing the models from this month :)

Wave 2 release contents:

The second part of this collection is almost finished, and is the terrain for The Distillery. There is:

  • The Spore Garden: growing chambers for the gorecap mushrooms
  • Pipes & Walkways: the factory pipes and gantries to connect the chambers
  • Distillery Machines set: multiple machines for distilling the ingredients into a premium hallucinogenic drink!

They should be finished and released by the 25th May. On this post are also some renders that Andy created of some of the Spore Garden as a teaser. Full renders by the end of the week.

Thank you so much for your support this month!

Kind regards,

May 2022 Sneak Peek - The Distillery Collection

Hi everyone,

It's time for a preview of some of the miniatures in next month's collection, The Distillery! The theme of this collection is a 'drug lab', but we're focusing on one part of the drug empire within Zadorn. An establishment known as The Distillery farms two potent drugs - Gorecap mushrooms and Salamagna slime - which are then distilled and combined into a hallucinogenic, intoxicating, high-inducing elixir know as Souldance.

Souldance is then sold to many merchants within the undercity of Zadorn, such as Evangelina of the Broken Chip and the Doctor from the Night Market among others.

The collection features the staff and characters that work at The Distillery, as well as some fun terrain for growing, harvesting and distilling the potent drink!

These are the miniatures which are complete enough to render:

The Botanist

The Botanist is an alien from off-world who farms the Gorecap Fungus, which is actually an alien mushroom from his home planet.

There will be a Gorecap terrain set in the collection - it's almost finished, so render to come soon!

Raven - The Zoologist

Raven is a trained Zoologist and she is employed by The Distillery to care for the Salamagnas and harvest their slime. She uses her water gun to keep them wet, which is essential for keeping them alive in the laboratory.

We had fun with some coloured renders too :)

Salamagna Creatures

Salamagna creatures, which native to this planet but notoriously hard to keep alive in captivity. The Distillery and Raven have perfected the process of breeding and harvesting their saliva to produce the Souldance drug.

They can be fairly dangerous, so they need a trained professional with nerves of steel to care for them. Their saliva is highly toxic in it's non-processed slimy form!

Trixie - The Delivery Girl

Every business needs a delivery network and Trixie is one of The Distillery's Delivery Girls! Sweet and happy-go-lucky, she is perfect for avoiding detection by The Watch Police Force as she carries out the deliveries of Souldance across Lower Dorn.

She also has a satchel filled with samples, which she distributes to new clients around the city, hoping to entice them on board as a Souldance seller.

Death Stalker Robots

Finally, we have the huge Death Stalker robots! These defence robots patrol the outside of The Distillery to deter any fortune-seeking thief who might wish to steal the highly valuable Souldance barrels.

There are two unique versions of these large robots, and the legs are also made of joints meaning you can pose them in different walking positions.

We hope you like what you see so far of The Distillery! There are more characters and the terrain pieces to be revealed over the next week as we finish them, so keep an eye out for those posts :D

Let us know what you think of this theme in the comments!

Kind regards,

Final Files for the Broken Chip Collection released! Fixed bar files added too :)

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all had an amazing month so far :) Thank you so much for choosing to support us!

I have finally finished supporting and print testing the rest of the terrain files for the Broken Chip Collection, yay! Added to the MMF access group, you will find:

- The Casino Cashiers terrain set

- The Casino Pillars and Signs terrain set

- Roulette and Blackjack tables

We have also fixed the issues with the Broken Chip curved bar pieces! I've uploaded a new zipped folder, so please delete the one you have and download the new Broken Chip Bar Kit :)

The new files include an updated design for the Under Bar Options - Leather and Machine that will now fit into the module slot for the Curved Bar pieces. We also discovered two errors on the Curved Bar pieces; the module slots for the bar chairs were missing, and I had made a supporting error which missed one of the edges, causing extra warping when printing (which doesn't help the fit issue with the module pieces) - we're so sorry about those!

So we have added new versions of all the Curved Bar pieces, also tweaking the size of the module slot at the same time to ensure the modules definitely fit. I also corrected the supporting error, so everything should be okay now.

Additionally, we made a small adjustment to the bar sign holder for the top of the Broken Chip Bar to ensure a better fit, and a similar adjustment to the terminals so the fit was less tight.

Phew! Hopefully, the Broken Chip Casino Collection is now complete and all good to go :D If any of you print the terrain and chose to make a diorama, please share that with us on our Discord. It really makes our day to see the community using our STLs!

Wave 1 - April 2022: The Broken Chip Collection - Released!

Hi everyone, The first part of April's epic Broken Chip Bar & Casino collection has been released! :D You should have received an email from MMF letting you know that new files have been added to your tier. The Welcome Pack is there too, for new subscribers. At some point this month, I will do a PDF document explaining how to use the Bar Kit since it's fairly complex, although quite intuitive.

April 2022: The Broken Chip - more miniatures revealed!

Hi everyone, I'm super excited to share more miniatures with you today, which will be released as part of April's collection! I really love this month's content - I can feel Zadorn coming to life with every additional STL we design :D Casino Patrons - modular kit This kit is fully compatible with February's Night Market Citizens so you can use all the parts together to give you even more variety :) To create this Casino Patron set, we re-posed some of the pieces from Feb's kit, as well as created some new leg, torso, arm and head options! Use these parts with the Night Market kit to have a hugely varied guest list! I really love the guy on his knees haha - has he won or just lost everything?! The Broken Chip Staff - modular kit No casino or bar can be run without reliable staff and in this second modular kit, you have staff fulfilling lots of different roles to give the characters lots of different uses:

  • Tending the bar
  • Serving drinks
  • Dealing cards
  • Guarding the VIP area
  • Defending the casino etc

The staff are wearing a classic casino uniform with lots of robotic additions to give them a futuristic feeling :) By combining the pieces in different ways, you can have a hugely varied kit! Slade Jarkus - character Finally, we have the last character in April's release - a cyber modification enthusiast! He is addicted to body modification and has been known to star in the Fighting Pits to show off his gadgetry. He's always looking to start something, so watch your back!

April 2022 - The Broken Chip Previews! + Updates

Hi everyone,

It's preview time :D Next month we're visiting The Broken Chip Casino & Bar, and you can see some teaser renders below. There's more going in the release than you can see today, but as usual we're running late so you won't see those renders until next month. They will be fun surprises to look forward to!

For now, if you like the theme and like what you see below, we hope you decide to stay with us for another month :D

The Broken Chip Storyline

The Broken Chip Bar & Casino is one of the oldest destinations in Lower Dorn. Utterly ingrained into the psyche of the grimy undercity, there are few who haven't been through its doors and fewer still who haven't lost their earnings to its games! The owner of the Broken Chip, Evangelina Sharp, is as mean as they come. A cutthroat businesswoman who has managed to keep the casino profitable and bustling despite its less than desirable location and patronage.

The free Grog draws in the gamblers and drinkers, who inevitably spend all their money on the hard spirits and chips. The atmosphere can be intoxicating, with narcotics dealers peddling free samples in exchange for cutting Evangelina in on their profits. Just enough people win big at the machines to keep everyone returning, desperate for their lucky day, and willing to lose everything to get it. Everyone pays their debts to the Chip though. If you can’t pay in coin, the Broken Chip’s owner will notoriously take other methods of payment. You’ve heard the saying ‘I’d give my right arm…’

However, in recent months, numbers have seen a small drop. There’s a new attraction down the road - an underground robot Fight Club, taking bets and making fortunes! The club is run by the infamous Zara Goldhand with her newly developed fighting bots, the Gear Eaters. This competition was unacceptable to Evangelina and so she used her contacts to leak information to a detective working to stop the illegal manufacturing of robots. Recently, the Watch Police Force even raided the Express Garage that Zara owns, but frustratingly found nothing there. Tonight, Zara is sending a messenger to the Broken Chip to let Evangelina know exactly how she feels about being ratted out!

We hope you like next month's collection :)

Updates

Express Garage Files

We're still in the same situation with these. They're ready to go, pending a fit check when all the printed pieces are together. However, the UK Royal Mail postal system is being classically rubbish and the package is delayed.

As soon as we can, we'll get those files deployed and whenever that happens, everyone who has subscribed during this month will get them :) Please don't worry.

Loyalty Rewards

These will be done on the last day of the month. We can miss people who subscribe again last minute and qualify for the reward if we do the calculations mid-month.

It's a completely manual process that involves downloading 12 months of emails and using some spreadsheet witchcraft to find our 3, 6, 9 and 12 month subscribers across both Patreon and Tribes. Therefore, we have to do all the emails together, making the last day of the month the best time to do that.

Thank you so much,

Gem & Andy

Warehouse Bases Released and Updates!

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend :)

Just to let you know, I have added the Warehouse Bases to all the Tribe tiers, so you can now download and print those.

Express Garage Terrain Kit

This kit is fully pre-supported, we just need to do the final test fits. Atlas3D did some supporting work for us this month which was a huge help because we shared this kit between us. Atlas shipped their printed pieces last week, but they've been delayed in the post. They should be with us on Monday, so we can then test fit everything together.

Everything is supported and ready to go - we just need to check for any small fit adjustments. If any are needed, these changes are fast so the files should be released by Monday evening. We appreciate your patience with this :)

Previews for April

The preview renders for some of April's release will be coming on Monday! To give you a little teaser though, we will be doing the Casino/ Gambling Den theme with terrain and characters for the The Broken Chip :D

Speak soon and thank you for your support!

Kind regards

Express Garage Scenery Kit - Final March Renders!

Hi everyone,

So sorry for how late everything has been this month! February's Night Market collection (now available on our store here - remember to use your 60% off subscriber discount!) was wayyy too big, and put us behind for March. We got a bit carried away, so that collection was a bumper one in the end haha :D

However, the Express Garage Kit for March is now rendered and half way through print testing. The kit all works together to create a garage enviornment with maintenance bays for the XR Taxis (in last month's collection), an office and a wall/ entrance structure.

It's very modular so you can create different buildings with it, and possibly even use it as a store covering for the Arms Dealer Props Set from last month. We're hoping that all our cyberpunk releases will work together to fill out a specifc district of the city.

We also have a render of the Warehouse Bases that go with this month's release :)

Hope you like them!

Kind regards Andy & Gem

More Renders for March's Collection! Delay to the file release - Sorry.

Hi everyone, I'm really sorry but we're running behind on the file prep this month, and we're not ready to deliver Wave 1 of the Raid in Flipside release just yet!

I think the files will be with you by the 10th March. I'm very sorry. Thank you for your patience :)

On a brighter note, I have some more renders for you. Plus, Andy has almost finished the big Express Garage terrain set, so we can reveal that soon too.

The renders attached to this post, explained, in order:

1. Detective

Here is our grizzled Detective who has busted the case of the zBots and traced their location back to the Express Garage.

2. The Watch

We have an expansion pack for the humans in The Watch Police Force, providing some new poses (incl. holding an injury) as well as a set of female legs & torso (as requested by subscribers) - in this render we've mixed in some of the Feb's human parts, which will be included again for new subscribers.

We haven't done an expansion to a modular set before, so let us know if you like this idea!

3. Riot Vehicle Poses

There are also some parts which allow you to pose the Police Officers on the side of the Bulwark Riot Vehicle, as seen in the render below!

4. Police Dogs

What police force would be complete without Man's Best Friend :D We've had lots of you ask for doggos in the past, so here you are!

5. Brigette Holt 2.0

Finally, another subscriber requested an NPC type pose for Brigette Holt without her robot harness, and we thought this was a good, easily implemented idea :)

We hope you like what you're continuing to see of March's collection! More renders to be revealed soon :D

March Collection Previews

Hi everyone,

Here are some renders for the miniatures in March's collection and the blurb so you can check out the storyline as we continue to flesh out the city of Zadorn :)

These are the models that are finished and available to render at the moment, so we'll post more previews once we head into March. I'm not going to list out the minis this time, so when we reveal them it will be a fun surprise for you :D I will say that there's going to be terrain though.

March Storyline - Raid in Lower Dorn

"Brigette Holt has always been good at fixing anything mechanical, which is a great skill to have in the city of Zadorn. Her father had been a senior robotics engineer for the Apex Group, so it was no surprise that Bri spent her childhood living and breathing robotics in her father's secret home workshop. He had always thought she would join him at the Apex Group, but after an 'accident' at work caused his death, Bri grew to hate the Corps. Unable to shake her anger, she left Upper Down and continued to pursue her love for robotics on the 'Flipside'. As the years passed by, she became one of the most skilled robot manufacturers in Lower Dorn.

Brigette's best friend is Zara Goldhand, who has always been good at breaking things, mostly faces! This is also a useful skill to have in Zadorn and it has made her infamous. Acting as the brutality and cunning to Bri's intelligence and vision, they formed a terrifying team. Their robotic creations, nicknamed zBots, have become shockingly sophisticated machines of destruction, and are widely sought after in the Flipside. While being highly illegal, unlicensed robot manufacturing is far more profitable than any 'honest' work to be found in Lower Dorn. So for months, Brigette and Zara have been creating zBots in secret at the Express Garage in the industrial part of the city. In the daytime, the garage fixes broken down Express Runner Taxis and then at night, the real work begins. Business is booming.

The problem with normal folk manufacturing their own robots is that it makes them more powerful, and that can give people ideas above their station. The Corps can't have that, and so Detective Lucius Welles has been diligently on the case of zBots for the last few weeks. Having finally got his hands on a semi functional unit, which had been damaged before it could self-destruct (after it killed 13 New Dawn gang members!), he's finally discovered the location of the Holt secret workshop. A deadly night time raid is about to take place in the Flipside. The Watch are bringing drones, Bulwark Riot Vehicles, and plenty of boots on the ground to take this illegal enterprise down!"

We hope you like what you see so far!

Kind regards

Tech Support Pod & Cyberpunk City Bases Released!

Hi everyone,

I'm finally finished!!

The whole Night Market Collection has been supported and print tested, with the Tech Support Pod and the Cyberpunk City Bases added to MMF today :D

I really love the Tech Pod - it's such a cool building when printed and put together. I posted a video of it on Reddit yesterday with Andy popping the lid on, so you can check that out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrintedMinis/comments/t1fib3/cyberpunk_tech_support_pod_from_this_months_night/

Give it an upvote if you get chance so more people will see it ;)

We're really proud of this collection, honestly - it turned out to be pretty massive in the end! If any of you are intending to make a Night Market diorama with the pieces, please join our Discord and post it there. It would be awesome to see it come together!

Print Minis Discord: https://discord.gg/RDfH2nnz49

Other Updates

1. Whole Poses for Modular Minis

I added the whole poses for the Citizens and the Watch Police to their respective files on MMF. We assemble the modular pieces for rendering, but then they need to be meshed so they're solid for printing, and decimated so they're not massive files, and that took ages since there were sooo many character options!

The whole poses are for our Merchants and other people who prefer not to assemble the modular parts. They are unsupported.

2. Next Month's Theme

We will (hopefully!) be revealing next month's theme tomorrow. We're doing the renders for the finish models and characters today, so look out for that post. I'd like to have the storyline blurb finished too, but it depends if I can write something that I'm happy with by tomorrow or not. We'll see :)

Okay, that's all for updates. I'm going to go and lie down since the collection is finally done haha :P And then I'm going to immediately get up again and start supporting next month's models!

Happy printing, people :)

The Arms Dealer Store - Pre-Supported and Released!

Hi everyone,

I've finished supporting and print testing the Arms Dealer store :) It has been uploaded to the Tribes tier with an instruction document.

In the kit, you'll also find an expansion for the Express Runner Taxi, since the Arms Dealer is selling a turret upgrade for them haha! It attaches to the taxi in place of the backseat to make a Battle Taxi because.... why not? ;) You can see that system in the main render.

The Arms Dealer store is run by our three small alien Zugs. The sitting alien fits on the seat at the surveillance system.

Enjoy!

A Collaboration with House Bharteth - Free Character!

Hi everyone,

This is our final collaboration for February with a fairly new creator, House Bharteth! They have provided a character sample for you from their February release, along with some lore, attached to this post :)

Here is a blurb from House Bharteth, telling you a little about the character and their service:

"The Wandering Marshal is a promotional model of the full version of Marshal Myles through the House Bharteth Patreon and Tribes during the month of February. The full model comes with eight arm options, multiple heads and clip-ons as well as having a full mounted versions. It is also available as pre-supported or unsupported. In addition to Marshal Myles, there is also the next instalment of the monthly Scenario NPC; the Rogue Trader. Each month a new character model with multiple options along with their lore, artwork and character cards will be released as well as the next instalment of the Scenario NPC as voted by the Patrons. There is also a range of physical swag available like House Coins, Dice and printed models."

The Wandering Marshal has been added to the the Feb Tribes tiers, so you should be able to download it now :)

Enjoy!

Street Food Court Scenery Kit released!

Hi everyone,

The Street Food Court is now ready! It is pre-supported and print tested, and added to the My Mini Factory Tribes tiers for you to download and add into your Night Market diorama :) This store belongs to Krum, our alien street food chef.

I've created another PDF explaining how to use the files and how all the parts work together. It's contained within the zipped STL folder on MMF. Also attached to this post are some individual renders of the street food court parts as examples of the variety of things you can make with this kit.

The next scenery set to be released is the Arms Dealer, which I'm about half was through. Thank you so much for your patience!

Have fun with the street food kit! :D

Narcotics Store Scenery Kit Released!

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know, I've added the pre-supported Narcotics Store kit to our Tribe tiers, so you can now download it and get printing your first merchant store for The Night Market! The Doctor, our Narcotics Vendor, is the character that goes with this kit.

I've also created a simple PDF guide explaining how the kit works together to avoid any confusion. We designed this vendor kit with the idea that many aspects can be lit up from the inside using LEDs and printing some parts in clear resin, so I've mentioned that in the guide too. The written guide is in the zipped folder for the store.

Finally, I've included some more 'zoomed in' renders of the items in the Narcotics Store Kit for you to look at and use to plan the layout of your own store :)

Enjoy!

Kind regards,

Gem

PS - The next kit I'll release will be the Street Food Court.

Remaining Night Market Models Revealed!

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your patience while we finished the Night Market Collection :D We ran pretty late this month and probably went a bit overboard - most of our store kits have over 30 different parts - but I think it was worth it!

We're really pleased with how the collection turned out and I really hope that you like it too :D Share about us with your friends to help us grow!

Here are the final models in the full February release:

The Arms Dealer Store

Inside this kit, alongside lots of weapon wracks and arms crates, you'll also find a duel minigun for the Express Runner Taxi, which you can add into the back instead of the passenger seat haha.

This is the store that the Zug alien triplets run :)

The Tech Support Pod

This is a small building that characters can stand in, with internal detail and a working door! There's a hatch at the front for customers to come and talk to our Tech Sage about their issues, and a door at the back for deliveries or for people to come and go through.

The Tech Sage helps with phones, computers, personal robots, biomechanical limb upgrades and more!

The building is split into smaller pieces to print on an Elegoo Mars build plate :)

Zadorn City Bases and Scatter

We're super excited about these bases, which are full on unique city details and really help to bring the Flipside of Zadorn to life! Many of the scatter pieces that make up the bases will also be provided separately (unsupported), if you would like to use them on a larger Night Market diorama :)

Collection Release Schedule

I'm hoping to have the Narcotics Vendor store files released by tomorrow evening, or Monday morning. I'm also 70% of the way through the Street Food Court, so that set will be released next week too.

I'll do a separate post every time I release a new scenery set, so you can head over to your Tribes library and download it.

Thank you so much for your support this month :)

Kind regards,

Wave 1 Night Market Files Available! Wave Two Release Schedule.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to let you know that I've now released the Wave 1 pre-supported files for our Night Market collection!

Wave 1 Contents:

  • Krum, the alien Street Food Chef - pictured on this post!
  • The Zug alien triplets, Arms Dealers
  • Kimiko, the Tech Sage
  • The Doctor, Narcotics Dealer
  • The Watch - Night Market Human-Robot Police Force (modular)
  • The Night Market Citizens (modular)
  • The Express Runner Taxi Wave 2 Contents:

The second half of the release is all of the Night Market terrain, and I will be releasing it every time I have a set finished. Everything is in the pre-supporting and test printing stage.

I'm almost done with the Narcotics Dealer store, so that will be out in the next few days. Then the other stores will come out one at a time, probably around 4 days apart each :) It will give you time to print one set while you wait for the next!

  • The Narcotics Dealer Store
  • The Arms Dealer Store
  • The Street Food Court
  • The Tech Sage Store How Do You Access Your Files?

They have been added to the Tribes Tiers already and so they should just appear in your Library under the My Tribes section :) Let me know if you have any issues seeing the files.

Enjoy!

Kind regards,

Feb 2022 - The Night Market - More Renders!

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick post with some more Night Market renders!

A quick update on Kimiko

We've decided to call our tech savvy merchant character a Tech Sage instead of a Tech Trader so she can have a role more like a hacker/ tech whiz as oppose to selling technology. She can upgrade and fix systems on your computer or tablet, as well as for biomechanical limbs etc, so her skills are in high demand in the tech heavy city of Zadorn!

We also rendered her from behind so you can see the cute jacket details on the back :)

Citizens of the Night Market

So we're really proud of this modular kit! You can create so many different variations of citizens, it's quite amazing and the fun details that Martina (one of our sculptors) has added really bring these citizens to life :D

I really love the crossed legs pose and the guy with his hands up haha! You can also see the extent of body modification that's found in Lower Dorn, with many citizens loosing limbs which are then replaced with robotics, or just upgrading their body to help them survive in the Night Market! Also, firearms are common place.

Zugs - Arms Dealer Alien Triplets

One thing we wanted for Zadorn was an alien population, which was common place and part of the normal citizenry. We love the idea of the biggest arms dealer in the Night Market being a small alien!

Zugs might be small but they have a shrewd intelligence and a temper to match! These triplets, Bahri, Lahri and Terih, run the store together and are the best in the business. We thought it was fun if two of the triplets had to stack on top of one another to properly reach the cash register :P

Terih isn't attached to the crate, he's just sat on it, so you can sit him on anything ;)

The Watch - Night Market Police

So I did two more renders for these characters, to give you a closer view of the possible police creations. It's a modular kit and all the pieces work together to create full robots, full humans, or robotically enhanced human police.

More Still To Come!

Andy is still putting the final touches on the Arms Dealer stall, so that render will probably be out tomorrow evening.

The alien chef for the Street Food Court is finished but after he was posed, we decided it would be more immersive if he was carrying a barrel of his Grog soup, so we're making that change before rendering him. He'll be out tomorrow too!

Then there is just Kimiko's tech station and the Night Market bases to reveal, probably next week as they're both about 50% of the way finished at this point.

Thanks, everyone! :)

Kind regards

February 2022 Teaser - The Night Market!

Hi everyone,

It's time to reveal February's theme and some renders from the collection! We've gone for something a little different and are visiting a completely new city this time, away from our current storyline. It's fun to change things up to keep us feeling creative, and we have some exciting ideas for Zadorn in the future, so hopefully you really like this collection :D

As usual, there are only a few renders ready - it's the crazy end of the month push to finish everything and we're classically late. So I'll share with you the story blurb, available renders and provide a collection list to give you a picture of the rest :)

New Renders - Andy is Learning

Also attached to this post you'll see some alternative renders that Andy did to show off some of his models in full colour! One of our wonderful sculptors, Martina, does the normal renders for Print Minis but Andy has wanted to learn how to do it for a while, and those are his first attempts.

The Night Market Storyline

"Zadorn was the shining jewel of the continent of Kelkuza. A city of power, technology and progress. The rich lived for centuries, enjoyed untold luxuries imported from around the world, and built glorious mansions to house their gluttony. But it was not a wealth that they shared. Zadorn was two sides of the same coin, the haves and the have nots, and it was built on the backs of the flipsiders.

Lower Dorn, also known as the Flipside, was where everyone else lived. Zadorn was a city of layers. On the top layer were the privileged, and at the bottom was the sprawling warren of Lower Dorn, created from ramshackle streets, underground hideouts and dark corners. To the wealthy, the Flipside was where they received many of their everyday goods and nothing more. It was a seedy place to be largely ignored. However, for all their disdain of the working class, a lavish lifestyle couldn't be sustained without them, and the rich took full advantage of the flipsider’s labour. A tenuous symbiosis prevailed.

But there was more to Lower Dorn than meets the eye. It was a complex and brutal place with its own thriving economy, and criminal enterprises skimming from the rich above them. The Flipside had unsavoury entrepreneurs flooding the market with questionable body modifications, genius inventors creating the latest must-have tech, underground fighting pits where the strongest could make a fortune, narcotics peddlers to take you to nirvana, and arms dealers to send you to the grave. A place of intrigue where you were just as likely to get a hand shake as a knife in the back.

But if you had enough grit and determination, you could rise from the bottom of the barrel and make it in the Flipside, especially at the Night Market. A sprawling, heaving mass of stalls, each one independently owned by a merchant, selling their unique wares. It was a lawless place where anything went if you had enough coin, and scrappy sellers pitched up next to crime lords. The police force patrolling it did little to control the flow of illicit goods. Some were bribed of course, but mostly they were outnumbered. The Night Market was a wild beast that no-one could control and it came alive after dark to cause chaos."

Full Collection List

Characters:

Narcotics Vendor

Tech Trader

Arms Dealers - 3 small alien triplets!

We hope you like this concept and decide to stay supporting us for another month :) Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

The Control Tower is finished!

Hi everyone,

I've added the pre-supported Control Tower to the Tribes Tiers for this month, so you should now be able to download it. Thanks so much for your patience with this :)

You can use the Control Tower with the Walls & Floors set because they're designed to slot together. The security walls work really well with the tower design, and the chair from the Isolation Cell kit is fun to place in the top of the tower for your tired guards to sit on.

Enjoy and thank you so much for your support this month!

3 Month Loyalty Rewards Released!

Hi everyone,

I've now added all the new email addresses to the access groups on MMF for the loyalty rewards, and sent out Invitations to Redeem the Files. You get these minis for consecutive months subscribed to us as a thank you :)

For 3 months, there is The Oppressor Mech

For 6 months, you get The Raptor scout vehicle

And for 9 months with us, you get The Falcon Gunship

12 month reward, TBC

What does consecutive months mean?

In order to qualify, you just need to pay for our collection at some point within each month on one of our tiers.

Even if you unsubscribe the month before, but then join us again later in the following month, that still counts as consecutive months.

If you have moved over from Patreon to Tribes, but you still get each monthly collection, that still counts too. I (think) I've figured out how to combine the data sets from both platforms for tracking so your months will all be counted.

Did I miss you?

If you don't have access to one of the Loyalty Rewards and think you should have, just drop me a message and I'll sort it out!

Thank you so much to all our incredible loyal supporters :D

Kind regards

A Guide on How to Scale Miniatures Without Re-Supporting

Hi everyone,

Alongside the Guide on Supporting Miniatures, I also created a guide on how to scale pre-supported miniatures in Lychee.

If you receive our miniatures and they're not in the right scale for your game, it's not a good idea to just shrink the pre-supported STLs. This is because you're altering the settings of the supports as well, and so the model may no longer print successfully.

This doesn't mean you have to re-support the whole miniature though!

It's possible to scale the model by 10-20% in Lychee with the supports attached, and then do some small support tweaking so that the old supports work with the new size miniature, saving you a lot of time!

I created a guide to show you how to do this so that you can more easily change the size of our models if you need to :) Just download the PDF guide from the open post on our Patreon and check it out: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61593053.

The guide is attached to the post as an attachment, so look for the download icon.

Hope you like it!

A Guide on How to Support Your Miniatures

Hi everyone,

So I created a detailed PDF guide on how to support miniatures, going through the thought process that I follow in Lychee to support a character from start to finish.

I'm really proud of it and it took a lot of work, so hopefully you like it and it's useful to you :) There are 8000 words and over 70 screenshot images to show the process in detail!

It's available for free - you can download the guide from the open post on our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61592816. It's attached as a file to the post itself, so just look for attachment icon to download it.

You can follow along with the guide yourself by using Zasha from the Welcome Pack.

I finally made a Print Minis Discord! Plus, new monthly competition :)

Hi everyone,

So it's been on my To Do List for a whole year :O But I finally did it, I created a Discord for Print Minis. Woohoo!

Lots of you have asked for it and I'm really sorry it's taken me this long to do it. I guess... better late than never? ;)

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/wMDcANuT

Please join it so I'm not the only one there haha!!

There are five channels in the Discord:

- News and Updates: I think I've set this one up so you can't post in it, but you can add a reaction to my updates, because I'm fuelled by smiley faces :P I will drop any important updates or bits of info here, so it's probably a good place to check if you have a question, just in case it's answered there already.

- Community Support: this is a place to ask questions. I'm hoping it can be a bit like an updating FAQ, so let's keep it nice and clean without other comments/ thoughts etc, so that people can search it or glance through the feed to see if their question has already been answered.

Also, I'd really like to have a community feel in there, so if you know the answer to a question you see, please go ahead and respond :) I love how much the 3D printing community is willing to help each other out.

- Chat and Share: I just want this to be a place to add your thoughts and share your WIP on things. Perhaps you've used our terrain in a cool way and want to share that with people. Maybe you need advice on how to paint something. Whatever you like really!

- Community Ideas: I'm always blown away by the creativity and imagination in our community, and I think it would be great to have one place where ideas can be gathered. So if there is a character you want to see, a terrain set we should create, or a theme you would like us to explore, pop your idea here! We'll check in on this feed when we're brainstorming future releases.

  • Ambassador Competition

The Ambassador Competition

Okay, so this is an idea that we've wanted to do for a while, and launching it with Discord seemed like a great way to do it.

We would love to grow our community of Print Minis subscribers. A big way we can do this is through social proof and engagement. We share our printed minis on social media, but it's not the same as seeing real subscribers using our STLs. It can be very inspiring for people to see and is a much better way to show off what we do :)

It's also really motivating for us to see our supporters using the minis we create, and how you use them will help us to make better minis every month too!

So, what is the Ambassador Competition?

It's simple -

  1. Share any of our miniatures (current or past releases) on social media - either printed or painted, in a diorama, in a game or just on your desk, as a video or as a picture!

  2. Link to us on Patreon or MMF in that post so that interested people can find us.

Our channels:

https://www.patreon.com/printminis

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/PrintMinis

  1. Share a link to that social media post in the Ambassador-Competition channel

  2. At the end of each month, we'll pick 3-5 winners to get their next month FREE.

  3. If you win, we will contact you directly through Discord to arrange redeeming your free month :) We'll also post the winner in the channel to let you know!

  4. This competition will run every month, starting on the 1st and ending on the last day of the month.

  5. The first competition starts now (22nd Jan) and will run until the end of February to give people more time to enter. You can enter any post you've already made as long as it was in January.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Also, please join our DISCORD: https://discord.gg/wMDcANuT

Kind regards

A Collaboration with OnePageRules! - Free Minis

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having an awesome week :) This month, we're really excited to be collaborating with the incredible OnePageRules Patreon, who have seen spectacular growth in the last year due to their epic monthly releases!

They produce miniatures for two different armies every month, one sci-fi and one fantasy, alongside cool scatter terrain sets and a collection of bases for each theme. For January, they have produced a plethora of models for their Beastmen Army and the Eternal Dynasty Army.

For our collaboration, they have provided the modular set of Eternal Dynasty captains (render attached to this post). I really love these sculpts, especially the dragons on the guns :) You can make different variations of these characters, choosing different head options and weapons to go with their main pose.

The free miniatures have been added to our My Mini Factory Library and shared with you.

Attached to this post are just some renders from the OnePageRules January release! To see all the renders, you can head to the open post linked here.

If you like what you see, make sure you head over to their Patreon page where you can subscribe and get the full January release, plus 70% off their MMF store :)

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/onepagerules

We hope you enjoy this collaboration - we're really excited to print the captains!

Thank you so much :)

Wave 2 January Collection Renders - Prison Terrain Revealed :)

Hi everyone,

We've finished putting together the renders for the rest of January's lunar prison collection, and we're so excited to share them with you :)

Firstly, just to let you know, I've added the Lunar Prison Bases to the Tribes tiers, so you should see those in your Library now :)

Narok Prison Terrain

We've already showed you the Isolation Cell, which is one of three parts that make up a sci-fi prison. The second scenery set is the Walls and Floors Kit, so you can put together a huge variety of rooms and enclosures for your prisoners (or any sort of sci-fi base really). Check out some examples of what you can make attached to this post, you'll see:

1. A High Security Isolation Cell

2. A Prisoner Holding Yard or Fighting Pit

3. An Emergency Prison Bunker

You can also use the walls and floors along with multiple Isolation Cells to create a full prison wing with corridors interlinking them. Plus, you can fully integrate the Control Tower with this scenery too!

We did put together a huge prison scene, but it was too big to render haha and because of it's size you couldn't see any of the floor or wall details :P So you'll just have to experiment and see what you can build on your own tabletop!

The Prison Control Tower

This is our third scenery pack that works with the Floors & Walls Set and the Isolation Cell, so you can make a huge prison environment :D The glass can also be printed separately in clear resin so you can do proper windows!

As usual, it's modular so you can make different looking versions, and the base of the Control Tower forms the bunker in the above renders, so you can use the control tower instead to create an enclosed area for the I.C.C.O guards :)

Lunar Prison Bases

These scenic bases turned out really cool! They combine a moon floor texture with a sci-fi prison to really showcase this unique environment :) They are now available to print from your MMF Library.

Updated Simii Enforcers

You might have already noticed this, but we released the renders of the Simii Enforcers before we'd had time to test print them. After testing them, the bullet feeds snapped on clean up because they were too delicate, so we re-sculpted the bullet feed to be a thicker one. You can see that in the updated renders below.

I.C.C.O Captain

We forgot to include an example of the prison guard character with the face, so here it is :) The head with a face, meant to be the captain of the group, was already included with the pre-supported miniatures, we just forgot to render him is all.

Leviathan Tank

Finally, you can see the 'official' render for the Leviathan tank, which has already been released in our first wave of STLs. It's a model that you can make with the Demon Class Tanks kit.

And that's it! You've now seen all the miniature in the January Narok Prison Collection. We're especially proud of the prison terrain because it's such a highly modular and interlinking kit :D Hope you like everything!

Kind regards

Narok Prison Collection - Wave 1

Update 7th Dec:

I've now uploaded the full Demon Class Tanks modular kit! You can build 3 distinct tanks - Abbadon, Belial and Leviathan - using the parts. I'll add the official render for the Leviathon version to this post soon, but for now, here are some renders Andy did to show you what the third version with the double tracks looks like :)

I've also added the Inmate Isolation Cell modular kit to MMF, which comes with 20 different pieces to make multiple cells that are all slightly different to each other. That means you can build a whole prison block, and with the additional terrain kits in this month's release, you'll be able to build an epic tabletop prison for your games :D


06/01/2022

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to update you on the release of January's collection: -

We're running a little behind, so the modular Demon Tanks and Narok Isolation Cell will hopefully be released tomorrow. I'll update this post when I do that. I'm really sorry about the delay! We have a couple of things to tweak on the supports after the test prints, and have simply run out of time to do that today.

The Demon Tank kit released will have the parts to make all three versions though - Abaddon, Belial and Leviathon instead of releasing the Leviathon parts in Wave 2 so that's good news at least :)

Tonight, you have access to:

  • Lunar Team - Mokosha Astronauts x 5
  • Narok Prisoners Modular Kit
  • I.C.C.O Guards Modular Kit
  • The Simii Commander
  • Simii Enforcers x 3

You'll also notice a change - usually we offer an alternative size for the characters from our standard scale for those of you that want smaller minis. However, we don't offer alternative versions of our scenery and even the alternative scale we offer for characters doesn't work for everyone.

Therefore instead of providing more files, I'm going to put together a guide that shows you how to resize our miniatures by 10-15% up or down without having to re-support them yourself. There's a little work involved, but not as much time as a full re-support, so I'm hoping this guide will be more useful overall :) It gives you the power to resize any minis to match the scale of your specific game. I'll add it to MMF with every character set in this release once it is finished!

Future File Releases

7th/8th

  • Demon Tanks Modular Kit
  • Narok Prison Isolation Cell

16th/18th Dec

  • Narok Prison Scenic Bases
  • Narok Prison Floors & Walls Terrain Kit
  • Narok Prison Security Services Terrain Kit including Guard Tower!

Finally, we should have all the renders for the full January collection finished by the end of this week. We'll post those in a separate article so you can see all the remaining miniatures yet to be revealed.

Thank you so much for bearing with us and for your support :)

Kind regards

Happy New Year! January's release schedule & loyalty rewards.

Hi everyone,

We hope you all had an incredible New Year celebration, and wish you lots of success and happiness across 2022!

Thank you so much to those of you that decided to stay subscribed to us in January :D

I just wanted to give you a few updates about file releases in this post:

Release Schedule for January's Prison Collection

The first wave of files will be released on the 5th - 6th January.

I'm busy continuing to support and print test the January collection today (it's Gem speaking, by the way). The astronauts are on the printer at the moment, and I should have most of the Simii characters on a printer by tomorrow morning. Andy is exporting all the modular tank pieces and doing a test fit pass in Blender, before sending them over to me on Monday to make a start on that too.

The I.C.C.O kit is finished, but I haven't started the modular Prisoner kit yet. I'll probably mix that in with supporting the tank pieces. Then we're working with the amazing Fraser from @thingsi3dprinted this month  to support the Isolation Cell (since there's too much work for just me to get it done by the 5th/ 6th Jan).

After wave 1, there will be the remaining unfinished Prison terrain kits to support & print test, and the lunar prison bases too, which will be released around the 15th January. We'll keep you updated on that!

Welcome Pack & Throwback Minis

I've just added the Welcome Pack to January's Tribes tiers for any new subscribers, so you can get printing straight away :) I've also added this month's Throwback Miniatures, which are Adeleka & Kasiya from June's Dimozian Sands collection (see renders on this post).

Loyalty Rewards

Finally, I've also added all the three month people, who were with us on Tribes from Oct - Dec, to the The Oppressor Loyalty Reward group and sent out redeem emails. If any of you've been missed, please drop me a message and I'll sort it out :)

I'll be adding any new loyalty reward people that qualify this month around the 20th Jan, so just bear with me on that one.

That's it for all the updates.  Have an awesome New Year weekend :D

Kind regards,

Gem & Andy

January Collection Previews! Narok Lunar Prison

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all had an incredible Christmas break, and have some fun plans for the New Year too! :D

It's finally time for some previews of next month's release, which will be a follow on from this month's collection, sticking with our space theming for another month. We're also expanding on some of the character groups we created, specifically the Simii and the Mokosha Astronauts.

We're previewing all of the characters in the release, but we're still finishing two of the terrain packs for the Narok Prison, so we'll release those renders in early January, plus another version of the Demon Class tanks that you can build with the same modular kit :) Hopefully you like what you see so far and decide to stick with us for another month of support!

Storyline Summary

I haven't written a 'proper' blurb yet, but to give you some context, this collection takes place on Volos, a moon orbiting the 'Dieselpunk' planet we've been exploring for the last year. Victor Ivanov (one of our main villains) has been building a base on the moon in secret, with much of his workforce operating on the Devana space station (the focus of this month's release).

However, on the moon itself, there is a large prison facility - Norak Lunar Prison - which houses thousands of indentured inmates who provide the bulk of the lunar workforce! Using these captured resistance fighters (many from the Maslo Group), he is building the Zoriuska Prime base, which will be his space headquarters and hopefully a launching point for greater galaxy exploration in the future.

Renders

Check out the renders attached to this post and let us know what you think!

Happy New Year and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us across 2021 :D

Kind regards

A Collaboration with ZBS Miniatures - 3 free minis

Hi everyone,

We hope you've had an incredible Christmas break :D

Today, we're doing a collaboration with ZBS Miniatures, over on My Mini Factory's Tribes. They had a very successful crowdfunding project campaign back in October, and then launched a Tribes subscription soon after!

If you would like to check them out, you can do so here: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/ZBSminiatures

To show off their work, ZBS have picked three miniatures as a free gift: a Cult Guard, the Falcon Marksman and Manzu Amma (renders shown in that order).

I've added the files to My Mini Factory with December's release, so you should be able to download them there :)


Now let's hear directly from ZBS Miniatures:

Greetings, everyone!

ZBSminiatures unites a group of 3-D designers, artists and tabletop game creators. This year we have launched both a successful crowdfunding campaign AND our own Tribe!

If you love Sci-Fi and diversity, ZBS can be just the team for you! So far, starting September we have provided over 250 miniatures as part of our crowdfunding campaign and Tribes, and there are many new things on the design table.

This December we offered over 20 beautiful miniatures to Tribesmen, several of them are now available to you via this cooperation.

For January we plan to upload an entire collection of gorgeous sci-fi improvised heavy weapon teams! Here’s a pic of what will be there!

(Two renders added to this post's gallery after the three free mini renders. Please note you do not get those models by subscribing to ZBS in December as they are from January's collection as a preview.)

It would be awesome to have you on board!

Regards,

Crucible of Games have a Kickstarter :)

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick post about our friends over at Crucible of Games! They're another small studio making sci-fi miniatures, just like us, and they recently launched their first ever Kickstarter project, woohoo :D

We're really excited for them and love the miniatures they've created!

Free Model:

They have a free model available to download from their MMF store, which you can access here: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-200702

If you like what they've created and are interested in a new army for your tabletop this Christmas, you can check out their Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crucible-of-games/proserpine-shrineguard-embers-of-power/description

We always want to support the designers in our amazing community, so I hope you don't mind us letting you know about their campaign :)

Merry Christmas!

Kind regards

Wave 2 In Orbit Collection released! Plus, final renders :)

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a great week! We've now finished supporting and print testing the final files for the In Orbit release, and I've added them to My Mini Factory.

The files should automatically be visible to you in your Tribes area under Print Minis because I've granted access to them for our Tribes tiers. If you have any issues though, just message me to let me know :)

Files released in Wave 2:

  • Modular Space Station Crew

  • Complete poses for Space Station Crew (unsupported)

  • Space Station bases

  • The Maintenance Bay terrain kit

  • Cable Machines for the Mokosha Astronauts

I've added these files to MMF individually and also as a single Wave 2 zipped folder, so you can choose how to download them.

New Renders

Attached to this post you will see a series of new renders. The Maintenance Bay scenery kit is where the Raider space ships are built and maintained on Devana Space Station. It's a fun kit that will work on your tabletop in any game with an industrial theme!

There are 23 individual pieces, but I've organised the parts into specific folders so you can see which items to print to make the different pieces, such as the Lights or the Small Crane. Hopefully it's fairly self explanatory how everything fits together, but if not, looking at the items renders could help :)

We've also released the Space Station bases and I absolutely love all the fantastic details on these!

Finally, you might have noticed that your astronauts have cables that don't go anywhere!! We intended to have the cables connect directly to the bases, hence the delay in releasing anything to attach them to, but changed our minds when sculpting.

We wanted you to have more flexibility so we designed a cable machine instead, which reals the astronauts out and can wind them back in whenever they're in zero-G. I think the astronauts look really cool suspended on the machines :D

The cable machines can be stuck to any base or diorama that you want. There's a single machine for the walking astronaut and then the other machine works for all the floating astronauts.

That concludes our full December In Orbit release! We're really proud of this one :D

Note: tomorrow (hopefully!) I'll be releasing a parts list for the two smaller Raider designs so you know exactly what parts to print to build them - look out for that post soon and thanks for your patience :)

Kind regards,

Collaboration with Forbidden Prints - Free Terrain Minis!

Hi everyone,

This month we're working with another Tribes creator, Antoine from Forbidden Prints :) He creates fantastic grimdark scenery to print with an FDM printer, and has given us four pieces of his larger December kit, Smoke & Steel, to try out!

I've added the files to the Tribes tiers for December, so they should appear in your library. If you have any issues finding them, please let me know. There are four STLs in the folder and a PDF telling you all about the amazing Smoke & Steel release :)

Now let's hear directly from Forbidden Prints!


Forbidden Prints, is me. Who is me? I am a balding man that got fired from EA Games.

And in retaliation I decided to design terrain for home 3D printers / YouTuber.

Don't believe me, check out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqQ6132xjag&ab_channel=forbiddenprints

The four models you'll be receiving from the mini swap are FDM optimized, as well require no supports. No messy and time-consuming support removal.

Some of the models can be combined together and to give you all a closer look there is a PDF, which you all will be receiving. The PDF explains in more detail what you can create and what you will receive if you join my tribe.

This month's release is called Smoke and Steel V2.

It's a sequel from November's release, that's right you guessed it Smoke and Steel. Both sets can be utilized and combined together.

And there's a winter sale going on so if you use code: WSDESFP21 at checkout. You can get everything in my store 30% off.

Thanks again to the Print Minis Team. I hope you come and check out my tribes and become a member or swing on by my YouTube channel.

More renders released for December's In Orbit Collection

Hi everyone,

Here are some more renders for December's release! We still have two more miniature sets to be revealed - the Maintenance Bay scenery kit which will be finished soon and 18x Space Station bases. We expect to show those renders on Wednesday 8th to complete the In Orbit Collection :)

Below, we have two more versions of the Raider Void Fighters that you can make - these are super heavy ships, all made with the same modular parts in the kit just to show you how crazy you can go haha :P Plus, a drone and a rocket that you can make with the parts too.

Then there's another pose of the Watchman robots, plus some more renders of the Simii and the Space Station Crew to show them off better.

And finally, The Harvester robot, which is Zeki alien technology!

Also, I don't think we've mentioned it anywhere, but the little maintenance robots are actually a modular kit so you can make a few different versions. Whole copies of each robot in the render will be provided unsupported too.

Thank you!

December File Release Schedule & Other Info

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to those of you that stayed with us for December, and to any new subscribers supporting our work here on Tirbes :)

I just wanted to post some information about file delivery today so you know what to expect.

On the 6th December, I'll be releasing the first wave of pre-supported files for our In Orbit release. They will be uploaded to My Mini Factory as individual models and also as a single zipped folder so you can choose how you wish to download them. They will then be added to our Tribe tiers so you have access in your Library straight away. I'll post here on again when the first wave of files has been released so you can head over and download them.

The second wave of pre-supported files will then be released on the 16th December, and at that point, the collection should hopefully be finished and fully available.

Welcome Pack

This should already be in your library so you can download the models there and get printing straight away! Lats month, we also added a new miniature to the Welcome Pack, Dima, so there are now 14 awesome models to enjoy.

Throwback Miniatures

Each month, I also pick some miniatures to include with the monthly release from our previous collections. These models will also be in your library as soon as you join our Tribe.

For December, I picked Captain Carina Navaro and Galduri Vaikutava from our Space Pirates release back in April. I figured these minis go really well with the In Orbit release possibly as visiting pirates who have come across the Space Station and are curious, or maybe with Carina as a fellow shipmate and Galduri as a visiting diplomat having discussions with The Authority about an alliance. It's up to you!

My Mini Factory Store Discount

Every month, we release a new discount code for our MMF store. I will include this code in the locked post I make announcing that the first wave files have been released. It'll be for 50% off and will mean you can grab any past file you like the look of!

We'll have November's release on the store around the middle of December, or earlier if possible.

Loyalty Rewards

This month we will have our first round of amazing people earning ghe 3 month Loyalty Reward, The Oppressor Mech! We'll sort out access to this file to all those 3 month subscribers around the 20th December, and I'll post on here when I've done that so you can head into your Library and grab your exclive model.

If you have any questions about accessing your files, or joining our Tribe, just drop me a message and I'm happy to help :)

Thank you!

Kind regards

December Collection - In Orbit - 2 new renders available!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update with two more renders showing the miniatures in December's release :D

We have a render of the modular Space Station Crew. This is a modular kit so you can assemble the characters in many different ways. We'll have renders of the individual parts next month, but for now you can see some constructed examples :)

There's also a render of the Space Station Canteen terrain included in next month's collection too! This is a great place for workers to go relax and grab some food between shifts. The chairs slot together and work alone; plus, you can print the water container on the water fountain seperately in clear resin if you want to.

We hope you like them!

December Collection - In Orbit - Previews & Story

Hi everyone,

Today we have some teaser renders for December's release as well as the next part of our continuing storyline. As usual, there are more miniatures in the release than we're showing you today because we're still doing the final touches to them.

As well as the models below, there are several space station terrain packs, a modular space station crew, more Raider configurations, another Watchman robot and the Zeki harvester to be revealed early next month!

For now though, we hope you like what you see and decide to stick with us :D

Let us know in the comments!

The In Orbit Collection Storyline

"Victor Ivanov had always known that his power was precarious on land. Surrounded on all sides by enemy cities and with a history of revolution from his own people, he resolved long ago to keep one eye on space. Exosia was a colonised planet and deep in its history, pioneers had settled there from a larger galactic empire. Space technology was then lost to the annals of time. But not anymore. Victor unearthed the lost documents and with the intelligence of his own scientists, he began building an extra-terrestrial base for The Authority on Exosia’s largest moon, Volos.

The Devana Space Station orbits Volos and currently houses The Authority’s Command and Control Centre for Space Activities (the C.C.S.A), with a substantial work force already in place on the station. Their role is two-fold - to defend Victor’s grip on Orbital Space and to construct Zoriuska Prime, an expansive moon base that will extract valuable Helium 3 upon its completion.

Devana is a beacon of Authority ingenuity - a gargantuan vessel, it easily contains squadrons of highly adaptable Raider Void Fighters and banks of Shrikes - long range anti-ship and bombardment rockets. Victor is taking no chances with his dominance in space. Also on board the station is a state of the art engineering sector, training facilities, and a technology research centre. Once Zoriuska Prime is finished, Victor will be near unstoppable in space.

Not everything is going to plan though, and change is coming to Exosia. The Zeki aliens recently discovered this ‘backwater planet’ when tracking their lost energy cores. But once there, the Zeki found something terrible - traces of an ancient alien technology in the cold north of the planet. A cataclysmic threat thought dormant for centuries. If the crystals are allowed to spread and ‘activate’ the planet, it will spell disaster for the galaxy. The Zeki now have no choice but take more direct action on Exosia, starting by conquering Volos as their base of operations.

Expecting little resistance from such a primitive civilization, the Zeki first send their Harvester robots to disable the Devana Space Station. With all systems down, those onboard would quickly die, leaving the station and moon clear for the arrival of Zeki troops. However, as the Zeki will soon find out, The Authority is far harder to wipe out than expected and this small insignificant planet will prove a force to be reckoned with in the coming war."

3, 6 and 9 month loyalty rewards released!

Hi everyone,

We've finally finished The Falcon, the 9 Month Loyalty Reward!

This reward became due from September over on our Patreon channel, but it took us several months to sculpt alongside our huge monthly releases.

The Falcon is a big boy after all, at 30cm long! We hope you like him :D

How do the rewards work?

You receive one of our Loyalty Rewards if you remain subscribed to our Tribes channel for 3, 6 or 9 consecutive months in a row. This is a big thank you for supporting us - consistent subscribers are the lifeblood of any business, so it's an ideal way to show our appreciation :D

At the moment, we've only had our Tribes channel for 2 months (Oct & Nov), but that means anyone who has been with us since we launched will be due the 3 Month Loyalty Reward, The Oppressor Mech in December!

If you're new this month, you can start building up your months of loyalty to get all of our exclusive rewards right now :) The rewards remain the same, so if you really like the Falcon, just stick with us until July 2022 and he's automatically yours, along with all our monthly releases until then :D

What about merchants?

Although our amazing merchants earn the loyalty rewards, you cannot sell them on your store. I'm really sorry about this! The loyalty rewards are exclusive miniatures that people can only earn through supporting us, and if you sell printed copies to other people, it takes away from their specialness. I hope you understand :)

Thank you so much for all your support!

Kind regards

November 2021 - Expedition Collection - Full Preview

Hi everyone,

Here is a full preview for November's collection of STLs, which takes place on a snowy ice plateau in Kaltoss! We have a huge amount of modular terrain and environmental terrain to build out this new environment, as well as some vehicles and robots, and some new squads and characters. Check out the blurb and renders below :D

November Collection Storyline

There was something unusual in Kaltoss. It was on the snowy wind-blown plateau above the region's largest city where they first noticed the blue light. A team from Heluvik was promptly sent to investigate. They discovered an ancient relic, possibly once part of a larger spaceship, surrounded by strange blue crystals growing from the ground and throughout the snow and rock in the vicinity.

Soon, a huge state-of-the-art base (Alpha Norsk) was set up on the plateau and research was underway into the properties of this alien find. Heluvik's top scientists were housed in the vast complex, and a team of skilled miners were drafted in to extract the crystal from the earth and ice.

Kaltoss may seem desolate at first glance, but beneath its extreme façade is a thriving, snowy ecosystem with many unique plants & animals. Norsk's crew were soon cheered up by the presence of the adorable Delfox, who became like family pets at the base. However, more dangerous things also lurked on the outskirts and Alpha Norsk was regularly attacked by a terrifying predator species known as the Grikka. The attacks got so bad that an elite team of soldiers were brought in and tasked with hunting the terrible beasts.

As the research continued, the crystals proved to be an incredible discovery. Nothing on the planet compared to them, and although they'll undoubtedly bring great benefits and scientific breakthroughs to the city of Heluvik, they are also hiding a dark and dangerous past.

Printed pics of The Bull APC :)

Support the Resistance!

Some printed pics of a District Army fighter with their Breaching APC, The Bull from October's STL release. Our heroes are taking the fight to Zakova Factory where Victor Ivanov's evil inventor, The Overseer, is building a terrifying doomsday weapon known only as the Desolation Engine. They have to storm the factory and take him out before the weapon can be completed, or it might all be over for the uprising!

Finally, let us know how you get along printing the minis from the Doomsday release!

October's 'Doomsday' Release Storyline

All our releases have an accompanying storyline, which carrys on from month to month. This gives you background & motivations for the miniatiure to help immerse you in our gritty Dieselpunk world, maybe even provide ideas for tabletop game/ RPG scenarios :)

"Zavoda was a bleak place. The site of an uprising decades ago on the outskirts of the megacity of New Haven, and since abandoned to time. It was the perfect location for a factory designed to build nightmares, since no-one could hear the screams or explosions. It was here that The Overseer crafted his Iron Acolytes, an unwilling fusion of man and machine. Once dissenters against The Authority, they now worked for it.

Zavoda Factory was also where the alien power cores had been taken. Authority scouts had discovered a crashed alien ship in the wastelands, and Victor Ivanov had immediately tasked The Overseer to turn the unusual energy into a weapon. It was nothing like the oil and gas that powered the planet, and when harnessed, it would make him unstoppable. The Desolation Engine was almost finished.

The Maslo Group heroes had fought a hard battle at Kovac Station and had captured one of the alien power cores. But after interrogating Ursula Zorn, a grizzled Authority Officer, they learned grim news. Dozens of cores had already made it to Zavoda for use in a project of immense power. 'It will end your pathetic little rebellion and everyone who supported you.' Zorn sneered, 'The Central District is going to burn.'

News of this plan made it to the suppressed workers of the district. Realizing the peril they now faced, every able man and woman united to form the District Army and marched to support the Maslo Group. Together, they hatched a plan to assault the Zavoda Factory and destroy Victor’s weapon. Their fleet of repurposed mining machines turned into APCs, and the Wallbreaker artillery guns would have to be enough. They were going to rain down destruction and hellfire with everything they had!

Unbeknownst to everyone locked into this deadly battle, a new player had arrived on Exosia. The Zeki are a highly advanced alien race and had been perturbed by the loss of a recent shipment of energy cores. Sent alone, Aramak was tracking the energy signature given off by the cells and had come across a sprawling, dank stain of a city, heaving with machinery and belching smoke from great chimneys spanning the horizon. It was disgusting, and the sooner he could retrieve the power cores, the better.

Will the Maslo Group stop Victor before the gargantuan Desolation Engine is powered up? And what does the arrival of the Zeki mean for our once isolated diesel planet?"
