Back when we were running the campaign for the aether skiff/mages guild, Jeremy scanned a whale statue here in Washington State and converted it into this astral whale. We never got around to using it, but it fits right in now that we're back in the Astral Plane with all this space gnome stuff. So here it is!
The model is in the Miniatures and Terrain rewards folder now and it'll require supports when printing. For those of you who just signed up to a $5+ level this month (or upgraded f...

For today's model we've got a fifth version of the reaver-knights (the set posted on Friday).
As per the Monday norm, this will print FDM support free, and it's optimized detail-wise for resin printing like the other gnomes of House Galta. The model is supplied here with and without a 20mm base.
For our backers with access to games ($10+), this and the other Multiverse Monday models being released this month will get Pocket-Tactics cards, and we'll release that a...

Hey, as we head into the weekend, here's a gnew set of gnomes: the reaver-knights of House Galta. These gnomish special-forces swing their heavy mondglaives, gaining momentum as they spin in a whirling dance of gnomish death-dealing. Watch out.
All four of these models are optimized for resin printing and will require support. They're in the Miniatures and Terrain reward folder now for patrons at $5+.

Well, I guess I wasn’t going to make a bunch of magic space-gnomes without making at least one magic space-gnome ship. So, here’s a quick look at an early version of the Crescent Skiff for House Galta. It’s about to enter the test-printing phase, but should be ready for release before too long.

Hey, everyone. For our first Multiverse Monday of the month, here's a special unit from the raider-legions of the House of the Star Squid: the Lamplighter. Though gnomes are stout and especially strong for their size, these specialist soldiers have to wear fitted pauldrons that can be used to brace their lantern-helms when their muscular necks need a break. The lamplighters wear this ridiculous enchanted headwear to better signal the voidships from their deployment, acting as a sort ...

Welcome to September!
Here's the first post to kick off the new month's gnomish theme: a bunch of harpoon-wielding footsoldiers of the ruthless House Galta. Formerly guards in the gnomish city of Hollowspire, these well-trained legionaries followed their Galtan masters to commit themselves to piracy in the airship lanes of the Void Eternal.
The set has four different poses, each with six variant heads, and should give you a good start on the House of the Star-Squid faction (which ...

We're wrapping this month's releases up with a couple of extra models: two more retributors (basically Guid-sanctioned bounty hunters/contract killers). (Support necessary for these two.)

Hey, everyone. Here's a pretty big model drop for you as we head into our weekend!
This formerly unreleased (to stores) set just got a huge upgrade, more than doubling the included parts, adding a stackable watchtower for those vorqa Guild guards and a new set of market stalls (plus a second life for the formerly Multiverse Monday druari, now as an alternate market vendor). All of this is perfect for setting up a market scene on the planet surface for the 2022-08-26 18:36:07 +0000 UTC

This small expansion provides the Guild guards (or anyone else who happens to commandeer one) with a means of personal anti-grav travel. You can either glue a model to one, or print variants slotted for 25mm or 30mm bases. They're ported for a generic flight base that is included, but any standard 3mm peg system (like those that come with laser cut flight stands) will work. Rules for the grav-disks are featured in the upcoming CRUX supplement, 2022-08-23 17:26:35 +0000 UTC

When someone falls into debt with the Iolosian Trade Guild, they're given a chance to work that debt off by taking on odd jobs which put them in varying levels of mortal peril. (This is the basic premise behind the upcoming roleplaying module.) If that individual shows that they can't (or won't) settle their debt in a timely manner, the Guild cuts their losses and the unfortunate's biomass is liquidated into salvageable elements -OR- they undergo a quick, painless operation where their head i...

Hey, everyone. As we head into the weekend, here's a trio of Relnian character models: A Magistrate (center), Arbiter (left) and Retributor (right).
These sorcery-inclined aliens hold positions of power within the hierarchy of the Iolosian Trade Guild. Though they possess an extra pair of (much weaker) arms, using them is stigmatized in Relnian culture, and only the disgraced will do so. Their wings are composed of translucent slabs of jellyfish-like ...
