Preview 𐍈 Bonus for the October Release

Hi guys, lately I've  been working on a little bonus for the next release: I've been updating  the lithuanian warriors to the new workflow, that is simulating all  clothing, and also made them historically accurate. I think they look  much better now, and I'm really excited to print them out. What do you  think? These will come as a bonus for the next release that is coming  out at the end of October in addition to the other models.

About that, the result...

SEPTEMBER RELEASE 𐍈 13th century Teutonic Knights at the Prussian Crusade

Hi all, the September Release is finally here, and it focuses on the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century during the Prussian Crusade!

The Prussian Crusade, which spanned much of the 13th century, served as the backdrop for the Teutonic Knights' ambitions. Tasked with the conversion of the pagan Prussian tribes, this religious military order, formed in the late 12th century, used their mission of spreading Christianity in the Baltic region as a pretext for conquering and subjugating the...

AUGUST RELEASE 𐍈 BATTLE IN THE LITHUANIAN FOREST

Hi everyone, finally the August Release is done!

To start off our historical releases, I decided to do something that could serve as a bridge between fantasy and history.

Set in the 12th century in an ancient Lithuanian forest, I imagined a scene where a Chieftain and his retinue of warriors (Druzhina), sent on a scouting mission deep in the forest, are ambushed by Wraiths guarding a sacred grove.

The spirits guarding the forest, already ang...

UPDATE

Hi everyone

I wanted to inform you all that I received a DMCA takedown request for all my files on my MyMiniFactory store. At the moment I have removed them and I ask all of you merchants to do the same and remove them from your stores, just to be on the safe side for everyone.

All of this has opened my eyes, so I'm going to move from fantasy miniatures to historical soon: my focus will be on medieval historical miniatures, but I'll keep the same style that has distinguished my m...

MARCH GIFTED STLs 𐍈

Welcome!

Our Patreon is finally live and with it comes our first batch of gifted STLs!

  • The Penitent Knights, having lost their humanity long ago, are sworn to atone for their sins for the rest of their days. Most of them repent by bearing self inflicted wounds, but this only fuels their zealous nature. Encased in heavy armor, their helmets blinds them: guided by their faith, sight has no use for them, and they take pride in their penance. By...
