Egyptian Grandeur! - May Release Video
Added 2021-04-28 21:10:34 +0000 UTCHello dear Patron,
Dammit !
We were so sure we would share this one with you much earlier this month !
But there is no fiddling with Egyptian Gods without being cursed!
Well, ok, not really cursed but at least bitten in the butt!
Anyway, things were going super fine, we were super on time and then we had to work on the modular scenery… And that is when the curse hit…
I won’t go into details because there is nothing really exciting, just that… it took some time and some stuff got derailed.
But hey, it’s here in all its splendour and boy… this is an insane kit.
And do I need to remind you that if you switch to Overlord Tier, you get this scenery as a fully modular set with many accessories, plus an insane set of troops?
Yes, I know it is really insane for the price…
What’s in the release?
As always, we wanted to create items you would be able to use even if you do not play an Egyptian themed game.
Well, if you don’t, you might want to reconsider because there is some serious awesomeness here. Man, I’m just thinking about how to find the time to run a new campaign with that one!
But just in case, we thought about options:
First, it might be obvious but you can play Egyptians in a wide variety of settings: Ancient Egypt of course, but also Steampunk, Fantasy, and even SciFi. It won’t be hard to use these minis in a Stargate-like game or even with some more Gothic SciFi.
Then we thought: “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to have some Ratmen pillaging these tombs…?”
But these Ratmen could be pillaging literally anything…
Oh, and wouldn’t it be fun if they faced two human adventurers who are also on a raiding expedition. Well, there is a man and a woman in this release who might spark some memories in you…
There is also a magnificent giant bird who would make the perfect mount for a High Elves king or queen.
And there is a giant snake that you could use in literally any setting.
So you’ve got plenty of options!
Sync Alternative
If you missed that piece of information, we are now using MyAirBridge on top of Sync, so you have two different sources to get your files from.
You’ll soon get another update about the file release.
Greek Madness
Finally, let me remind you about the new Greek Expansion we’ve released a few days ago on My Mini Factory. This is a compilation of characters and creatures of previous releases that would fit in a Greek setting. We’ve put this pack together in case you’d want to go all-in with the Greeks but missed some of our previous releases.
You can also get part 1 of our Greek release in case you’ve missed it.
AND we’ve got a Patrons’ only sale available until the end of this Friday, check out this post to get the deets!
Onward with the Vikings
And so, as promised, June's release will be Vikings! Be ready for some serious Norse awesomeness. Several of the models are already done and it’s going to be VERY cool :)
In the meantime, I hope you like the Egyptian release :)
Let us know which are your faves in the comments, and how you intend to play them.
Have a great day!

Here are 2 line-up images: OVERLORD followed by LEADER
Comments
Is there a discord or something like that to discuss hobby related questions? I'm curious as to how people are mounting some of these with very delicate footprints.
Christopher Young
2021-06-03 01:34:28 +0000 UTCAlso, they send the files to a 3rd party group to be supported. They said somewhere that they try to have all the files supported by the 10th, if I remember right.
eyflfla
2021-05-09 02:53:26 +0000 UTCWhere is the overlord release for this? I only see the Leader release
Sean Taylor
2021-05-06 16:56:52 +0000 UTCYes they usually release the files on/after the 4th day of the month. This is due to the way patreon processes payments.
Ryan Connolly
2021-05-04 14:47:13 +0000 UTCFirst time I sign this Patreon. Generally, is there this delay in releasing the files?
Maurício Araújo
2021-05-03 17:39:37 +0000 UTCcan't wait
wimpiewombat
2021-05-03 16:50:13 +0000 UTCWhen will May’s release?
Maurício Araújo
2021-05-03 13:40:05 +0000 UTCThanks for the help! Much appreciated!
Charles Atkins
2021-05-03 01:11:06 +0000 UTCThey usually do it in the first few days of the month. They were trying to get it done earlier, but planning fallacy I guess. Usually the files come out in the first week, and the supported versions come out a few days after. This is because a 3rd party, Atlas/3DSS, does the supports. They're active in the discord channel and super friendly and helpful.

2021-05-03 00:59:15 +0000 UTCwe are going to try opalescent inks
Monica Smith
2021-05-03 00:16:36 +0000 UTCAnd how do I find my welcome pack files?
Charles Atkins
2021-05-02 14:13:17 +0000 UTCI have found some white marble filament which I intend to use (plain white without flecks) and use liquid mask on all the parts I don't want paint on.
nightlurker
2021-05-02 13:26:29 +0000 UTCThere are acrylic inks you can get with white marble effects, that might help you nicely.
Jason Grubb
2021-05-02 13:12:00 +0000 UTCI know this sounds like a huge ask but this could be done by adding some scars/mummy wrappings to exposed skin surfaces and swapping heads for skulls/tomb masks
Reavernator
2021-05-02 11:34:55 +0000 UTCI've been trying to figure it out as well. Was thinking painting it white with a brownish wash then layering back up with an off white.
Ty Melrose
2021-05-02 08:19:49 +0000 UTCI’d love a Camel!!! 🐪 It’s fitting, though they are uncomfortable to ride. So tall, and those shoulder blades! Maybe I didn’t have enough padding IDK... Anyway, a WarCamel would be awesome!!!
Christopher Barnes
2021-05-02 00:27:09 +0000 UTCLove it! That was my favorite song when I was like 5 or 6!
Christopher Barnes
2021-05-02 00:22:14 +0000 UTCSo when will May’s release
Jason DeLong
2021-05-01 23:17:47 +0000 UTCHello :) Yes you are right - but on the other side I think these living forms are good to create some Egyptian Imperium Army (like the time before they got death) :)
Oliver Bode
2021-05-01 08:24:50 +0000 UTCI was afraid of that. I was thinking maybe a white primer with a gloss finish might mimic the effects.
John Weyen
2021-05-01 03:09:14 +0000 UTCIt's digital effects, not real painting.
Hologramme
2021-05-01 01:22:48 +0000 UTCI'm wondering, how do you paint those models to look like they do in your videos?
John Weyen
2021-04-30 20:51:56 +0000 UTCThanks for your kind words and support. Indeed, business is certainly not as usual, and unexpected Covid personal tragedies have been hard on morale. But having a supportive community like the one we have here helps a lot! - Mireille
Raging Heroes
2021-04-30 19:13:29 +0000 UTCThe camel's name is Enid, she gets very upset when people forget her.🐪
nightlurker
2021-04-30 13:25:02 +0000 UTCLooks great. Keep up the good work.
Pedro Gomes
2021-04-30 08:10:21 +0000 UTC" short on human resources" Yes, how quickly we all forget that you guys have been doing all this during covid, and _still_ producing better and better releases each month. Imagine when we're all vaccinated and the world has returned to normal.
eyflfla
2021-04-30 02:49:14 +0000 UTCGreat! Yes, that is the plan, we have been a bit short on human resources, but we do intend to increase our release speed to MMF.
Raging Heroes
2021-04-30 01:41:30 +0000 UTCI'm really enjoying all the fantasy, Angels, Greek, Egyptian... I noticed that you had some other cool sets like the vampires collection but they are not on myminifactory eventually will you have all your previous releases on there?
Seth
2021-04-29 23:42:09 +0000 UTCPOLL: Optional undead versions. Click the heart if you agree
Reavernator
2021-04-29 22:43:16 +0000 UTCThat sounds awesome. Wouldn't it be great if RH could add an optional undead body to these minis... I know many TK players who would become patreons for this
Reavernator
2021-04-29 22:40:28 +0000 UTCHello dear Raging Heros Team :) My absolutely Favorite is Kerun'Aptrah (on Giant Scarab). She would be a special Character in my Warhammer Fantasy army (Tomb Kings). I think it is an hard job, cause so much Patreons do egyptian Stuff - and you made them in your style :)
Oliver Bode
2021-04-29 21:25:34 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fantastic. I'm so glad I'm a subscriber
Daithi O'Cuinn
2021-04-29 20:50:21 +0000 UTCTotally amazing and wonderful! This terrain is also special!
War Mammoth
2021-04-29 17:37:11 +0000 UTCThat.... That was amazing.
Roddy Novogradac
2021-04-29 13:43:08 +0000 UTCReally good stuff here. I was going to take a break this month to catch up on older releases but I just can't pass this up.
Brian Cherrington
2021-04-29 13:15:57 +0000 UTCi have some doubts but i really love it, awesome work!
Jessie Rasberry
2021-04-29 09:15:43 +0000 UTCThat Scarab! I've been wanting A Khemric Titan for a long time,this will be great, if needed scale it up...wow.
Glitterwolf
2021-04-29 09:06:52 +0000 UTCWow... they are beautiful and the idea of Laar'Iha and Bra'ndahn is brilliant

ErisTheMenace
2021-04-29 07:28:20 +0000 UTCLoving the release, I would have liked some "simple" human soldiers but I get your thought process, they are indeed in a lot of ranges already. The models look stunning as usual, only god I'm missing (though the Egyptians had more gods than I have stl files) is Sobek. Crocodile god could have been an amazing model as well. Keep up the amazing work and can't wait for June.
Kristof
2021-04-29 07:28:06 +0000 UTCThis is freaking awesome! Was a little bummed at no pyramid, but boy, you guys are smashing it!!
Luke Salter
2021-04-29 07:13:26 +0000 UTCI was wondering how you could do Egyptian without undead now I know completely blown away by this set cant wait to get printing
Grant Cramond
2021-04-29 06:58:43 +0000 UTCThis is just awesome! That centrepiece will be my new display board.
Glitterwolf
2021-04-29 06:29:42 +0000 UTCWOW, amazing miniatures !
Robert Egli
2021-04-29 06:20:46 +0000 UTCI’m so happy with all these so far. My players are going to a plane with vampires, but there’s also a greek inspired plane, and an egyptian one. So I’m so excited to get to use these! (Magic the Gathering setting)
Angela Basset
2021-04-29 05:08:17 +0000 UTCInclude an mp3 of this music?
Studio Silvernale
2021-04-29 04:28:51 +0000 UTCI don't know if it would be possible but an undead option allowing skull and mummy wrapped body proxies would have me printing these by the bucket load.
Reavernator
2021-04-29 03:46:39 +0000 UTCWill overlord tier be able to print the snake riders separate from their snakes? If so that's like a 3 for 1!
Erik Waring
2021-04-29 02:23:16 +0000 UTCAMAZING!!! you never disappoint every month is better than the last. I have to cut a few Patreons this month to get under budget but this one is No1 on my list and isn't going anywhere except on my printer next week :)
Lisa Kellogg
2021-04-29 01:41:49 +0000 UTCI mean I actually am a fan of this set. Digging the Seth and Anubis sculpts. Honestly for me and my groups the vampire set was spot on that's when I started. But then the Greek sets were kinda like, "They're cool but I would never use them..maybe I'll unsub for a bit.." But then this happened and I'm like well guess I am staying.
Po_OTato
2021-04-29 01:18:20 +0000 UTCSeconded, though I fully understand the artistic freedom to expand beyond the tropes, undead Egyptian aesthetics are a personal favorite. Though I do notice that a certain Osiris is omitted, thus leaving the door open to a revisit in the future.
overlordnik
2021-04-29 01:17:23 +0000 UTCIf you follow Vikings with Japanese Heroes and Gods I will be very pleased.....
Robert Myers
2021-04-29 01:00:03 +0000 UTCOkay I think that I have a good idea "Retro 1950's style Sci-fi" Aliens, Robot, Space Vixens and Rocket Heroes.

2021-04-29 00:32:19 +0000 UTCsame!
Alice
2021-04-29 00:16:19 +0000 UTCCan I put in a plug for some hold guards in the Vikings set as one of the troop options? Just cloth over light mail and full face helmets in a Nordic style, ideally two male and two female. I can't find passable stormcloak proxies for the elder scrolls anywhere.
Broc Reed
2021-04-29 00:15:05 +0000 UTCAlso, the following month could be an all female Dwarven Kingdom :)
David Núñez
2021-04-29 00:02:34 +0000 UTCOK, I wasn't so sure about this month theme, but as always you surpass my expectations. Great work! For next month vikings be sure to include enough viking girls :)
David Núñez
2021-04-28 23:54:31 +0000 UTCDoes seem to be the way of it with this patreon, though to be honest they aren't the only patreon that operates that way. Bite the Bullet and CoW both just finished uploading the last of their April sets. It used to be more of an issue when they were tied to Sync but now that they have a MyAirBridge option I can just download the entire set on the last day or two and delete what I already had, then unpack the newly downloaded set and bam, I have it all.
Erik Waring
2021-04-28 23:34:21 +0000 UTCI've been subscribed since the beginning with the Pirates set and this Patreon never disappoints. I don't even know how it's possible to have that much imagination and talent. I was a little dissappointed when I very first heard about Greek Gods 2 but once I saw them I liked that set even more than the first! My players have a choice of where to head next in my game world (run to might be more accurate) and I'm hoping they head south where I will be able to use this and both Greek sets.
Erik Waring
2021-04-28 23:26:23 +0000 UTCFantastic set, and a great video. The models themselves are super in detail, posing, etc., but I also wanted to mention that I like the color schemes you guys choose when making the renders. That extra detail really helps the models come alive for me, and gives me ideas for painting them. You and your crew are top notch! :)
Rob Leonard
2021-04-28 23:16:31 +0000 UTCSo is this going to be another month where the complete set of files including corrections/repairs won't be made available until the last few days of the month, not to mention the mess of files people have to wade through in order to find out whether there are any updated files they need to grab so that they are able to print stuff after the end of the month as well as ensuring they have all the files including corrected and updated ones?
Dan Fuller
2021-04-28 23:01:19 +0000 UTCThis is amazing! Probably my favorite release yet. Here’s hoping for a part II ;)
Stephen Pfann
2021-04-28 22:45:43 +0000 UTCWow! So happy to be here... That gave me tingles.
Andrew Pryor
2021-04-28 22:41:43 +0000 UTCHo boy, these are absolutely killer! I've been with you guys since the spiders and I'm still sincerely impressed with how you step it up on every release
Broc Reed
2021-04-28 22:40:11 +0000 UTCExtremely cool. I know there are a small amount of people that don't like the undead theme but the tomb kings popularity is undeniable (hence why so much content continues to be released). What are the chances that some of the gods could have undead options? I can remember the vampire set having masked and unmasked options... how about some head/skull proxies allowing living/undead options?
Reavernator
2021-04-28 22:37:19 +0000 UTCThe brendan frasier mummy, and lara croft reference kill me! Love all them so much!!!
Stephanie Lawton
2021-04-28 22:34:38 +0000 UTCAs an Egyptian, I must say...you did an amazing job with that release The only thing I might have added are chariots, a staple of the old egyptian war machines Great job guys, keep it up
Muhammad Sammy
2021-04-28 22:33:40 +0000 UTCMan, really looking forward to these, I'm an old Tomb King player, and since the death of the faction have been struggling to find things that could work as proxies for my old army. These will fit nicely ^_^ If I had the ability to request though? Chariots would be cool, as would a version of the snake rider that was part man, part snake (Never was able to find Sepulchre Stalkers in the end), and maybe some ranged units, bows or javelins.
John Lacy
2021-04-28 22:28:04 +0000 UTCSo may minis, so little time.... But beautiful they are.
Marco van Deutekom
2021-04-28 22:26:47 +0000 UTCStill likely to skip June (way too many Vikings already, but no preview yet to tempt me), but damn am I sticking with Overlord for May. Absolutely phenomenal work!
Micah Raymond Maloney
2021-04-28 22:25:40 +0000 UTCA great set, and no mummies in sight so that gets a huge thumbs up from me, i can see a few of these being printed and painted in May.
Raven
2021-04-28 22:16:38 +0000 UTCJesus Christ, this set is absolutely amazing! The gods and the troops are so good and the terrain.... The terrain is insane, so much detail and possibilities! Thank you so much for the amazing work !
Axel Stengel
2021-04-28 22:15:09 +0000 UTC"All the school kids so sick of books They like the punk and the metal band When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh) They're walking like an Egyptian" You are doing beautiful work as usual and I am excited for the new miniature. Okay, I'll ask. Any chance for miniatures of The Bangles, Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson, Debbi Peterson, and Annette Zilinskas walking like Egyptians?
Charles Sontag
2021-04-28 21:57:29 +0000 UTCAwesome!!!
Tobias Schneider
2021-04-28 21:55:31 +0000 UTCHoly moly! This is simply just jaw dropping 😮 The value is just amazing, so many models. Keep up the amazing work👏🙏
Christoffer Robin Nøklestad
2021-04-28 21:50:33 +0000 UTCA few days earlier this time. Good on improving. :) Overall, this is my least favorite set. The miniatures look fantastic, I'm just not a fan of Egyptian themed games. I'm not canceling, though. The work the artists put in is top notch, after all.
Stephen Brewer
2021-04-28 21:46:12 +0000 UTCOMG. I only hope we get 4 last min additions: E'vie the Libriarian Ben'nahy the Horseman A camel BUT OMG this is amazing.
