Shaman support adjustments.

3 of the front blades on my Shaman disc failed so I added some supports. I have already updated the Gumroad files.  Redownload it for the base if you like (ONLY the base is different) or you can just pop in a few of your own supports along the inner parts of the blades.

Sorry for the hassle.

Pauldrons added

If you've already downloaded the Exterminatus - then visit Gumroad for the update.

If you haven't got the main file yet then just DL normally - pauldrons added

Clear as mud?  Good!

Exterminatus Ready for Action, Cap'n!

For whatever reason I was having trouble uploading all the files to one post, so I just went ahead and threw them up on Gumroad where they belong anyway lol.

there's a read me attached here regarding the Lychee project files - basically all the parts to a particular category are all included in one scene - drop it into Lychee then pick and choose what you want to print...  its easy but we haven't done it like this before.  Let me know here or on Discord if you have any issues....

State of the Channel and September Road Map and beyond...

Hey all!  

So yeah...  getting started up again in September.  During the pause I picked up an extraordinary amount of freelance work!  This means a bit less time I can devote to Patreon.

This is why I lowered all the tier fees.  Less time means less content, at least in the near future.  Once again the hope is that as the freelance work gets done I can take a bit less of it and move that time over into offering more here for you guys and gals. And wi...

Unpausing!

Starting the channel back up starting in September.

Last week I unpublished several tiers.  If you notice you aren't in the tier you want, please do so soon.  Next week the unpublished tiers will be deleted.  If this leaves you without a tier and you do not pick a new one, then on the 1st you will be charge at whatever your last tier price was.  All this to say, please pick your new tier soon, I will refund you the difference if you forget come September, but that's ...

Sighh... it always something.

If you switched your tier and got charge in doing so.  please let me know and Ill refund you.

That is all...

Tier Changes

Please notice there is a new, cheaper tier - Brother Fabricator.

Most of you may wish to change your tier.  Feel free of course, and keep an eye for info in the coming week about un-pausing for September.

Thanks for hanging out with me ya'll!

Channel Paused

Sorry I forgot to do this last week but this post is to announce the TEMPORARY pause of this Patreon Channel.

I am certainly unpausing in the near future.  Once the dust clears

"What dust?" You might ask...

As many of you know, what we do here is considered a tad controversial by a certain company who we shall not name.  They don't like our work as for some reason they seem to think that if we (proxy creators) didn't exist then you guys would have no CHOICE but to ...

Upcoming for July!

Had a great vacation and a chance to think on what I want to do for next month.

I've decided to knock out a Silver Wardens Supreme Psycher (Voldus) - and to carry on with the TS along side - I will do a Demon Shaman of Zandgar (Tzangor Shaman)

I wanted to do a troop builder for TS - but I have far too much on my plate this month to do the Rubrics justice, so I will save those for August likely.

Also I will get some work accomplished on the afore-promised baby carrier.  ...

While Im on vacation....

.... I'll be trying to decide what to do next month.  I think it's safe, and perhaps wise, to stick with dual faction Silver Wardens alongside the new Mille Filii (1Ksons) for the next few months at the very least.

So whilst I am strolling thru the sand Ill think about what I want to do next. 

Ill check in when I can on Discord at least.  Not sure about Patreon mobile, but Ill try.

See yall in a week!!

Welcome to half the year gone!

So I'm finishing up a few freelance things over the next few days, then I'll be jumping in with both feet on the diorama.  I may be goin for a bit of a Aztec/Cthulhu feel for the Thousand sons sorcerer...  not entirely sure, Ill play it by ear as we go...

Thanks for sticking around and Ill be posting up progress for the month in less than a week!

June!

Hello!  Well sometimes I forget that not everyone is on the Discord and so I sometimes imagine when i post there I'm reaching everyone!  LOL sorry bout that.

As many of you may know and perhaps some not...  There is a new Battle Box coming out in the near future.  It very cryptic and non specific about its contents, be there are inferences to be made.

Apparently it will be Thousand Sons and Grey Knights in the box.  And, oddly enough, it seems likely there...

Apothecary weapon errors

Well I accidentally included the weapons for the strike squad in the apothecary files...  some of you may have figured out that the terminator weapons from the builder are the ones that are intended. 

either way I have corrected the files on Gumroad, so feel free to redownload if you need to or you can simple print weapons from the terminator builder for the apothecary, 

Sorry bout that!!

Helpful Instructions

Easy for me to put it together...  cuz I made it. lol I totally get how it can be a bit of a puzzle.  Here's a couple pics to hopefully help out.  

Sorry if there was any confusion - especially on the legs.

Make sure to let me know here or on the Discord, if there needs to be more info.

Happy Building!!

Chad

May Road Map

Im trying hard to change things up for the Patreon this month.  My goal is to have the Loyalty Gift (Apothecary) done in a few days from now and May Rewards (Draigo and Crowe) done between the 15th and 21st.  This way I can have a bit more time for changes if necessary and more than half of one day for promotion lol!

Dreadknight Updates....

So last month I promised a baby carrier version and some GM mods.  Those are in the works.  Also had a couple requests for...

Dreadknight Mods

Hello all and thanks for being here as always.

The Dread was a huge undertaking.  I have printed a full model and in the process of building it have discovered a few mods that need to happen.

1. The slot for the Iron Halo is too small.

2. The heads are too hard to get into the neck  hole

3. and the waist doesn't slot into the lower torso all the way.

I will issue mods for the following 2 pieces today - Torso 1 and Torso 2

Everything els...

Last push...

Delivery tomorrow. SOrry for taking so long.  This is by far the most complicated thing Ive made.  Insane.  Almost done...

Knee joint success!

Sorry for my poor videography skillz.  And my fat face! lol  Never done a video for an audience, so don't hold that against me either.  

Most important thing is the knee joint works!  It was my second pass and the first one was about 10 ties more complicated...  so it was nice that this one worked.

I'd say I was done printing legs, but for some weird reason I exported it too small so I gotta fix that - no worries.

On to the finish!

Chad

May Rewards and Loyalty Gifts!

Hello everyone!  Well against my hopes, here we are again right up against the end of the month.  I was so encouraged by my early start on the Dread but then real life happened lol.  The freelance jobs I had soaked up more time than I thought and that really took my steam.

Anyway!  I am finishing this month as fast as possible.  Shooting for the 27th or 28th.

Instead of a poll this month I have chosen to do the second place winner from last month's poll......

March rewards!! FINALLY!!

Ok everyone - Strike builder is done and supported!!!  I personally supported 2 pieces. Torso 5 and the Storm Bolter.  so If either of those fail we know why LOL!

On to the Dreadknight!!!

April Rewards....

Well I am going to guess this is a foregone conclusion but Ill make it hard on you at least with some interesting choices....

Lets get it!!

edited to add ( Grav Troop carrier is the Warden Raider)

March schedule...

Heyo brothers (and/or sisters? any sisters?).

March is off and running and its gonna go fast.  I have freelance stuff, Dark Foundry Miniatures, and of course our own Silver Wardens to tend to.  

For those who dont know.  I am the third member of Dark Foundry Miniature here on Patreon.  I am in charge of the Sons of Spartania line of marines.  There The Tide Haunters (death guard) and the Teknops (necron).  If you feel froggy go check them out! Maybe t...

Lets look to March

I know we are all focused on this month.  "C'mon Chad get the February models done, man!! " (workin on it - the forced 4 days off for weather hurts a lot)

But its worth taking a moment to look toward the very near future and what we want for March.

So here's that poll...  what DO you want?

Alright, last name change...

Things are starting to get back on track here in Texas, got power back and has stayed on for a whole day now.  Still climbing slow toward freezing but my pipes unthawed with no damage  (that I can see) and I had my first hot shower in about a week!  Rolling blackouts are so exhausting.  But so many people went the duration with NO power at all. Terrible times in Texas.

Well, we started as Grey Knights which isnt allowed. Took my slap on the wrist for that and  w...

Brrrrrrrrr...........

Well sorry for the radio silence but I don't get much power.  Temp was 0 this morning and with the rolling blackouts its hard to get anything done when your don't know when the power will drop again.

Friday will see our first rise above freezing for the first time in a week, so hopefully Saturday can just be a regular work day!.

.We shall see.

Thank you all for being here and Ill get back into some regular updates ASAP.

Warmest (relatively lol) Regards,

Chad...

Jan, Feb and Discord

Hey folks!

There was an issue with the file for the chaplain body.  It got supported but was only given to me as a .lys file, which some cant use.  So today I will be uploading an stl version.  I'll try to get you guys a supported version. But in the meantime as soon as I hit send on this message I will go and add the unsupported stl body to the DB folder.

Chaplain is being removed from the DB folder early tomorrow morning.  If you joined up in January and miss...

What shall we name our new faction?

Some options for names for our new faction of space warriors.  I landed on Osmium because is is the rarest and densest metal known. AND! It is blueish silver in color!!

Ill leave this poll up until I get the first troop builder up in February.  By then we will need a name and hopefully everyone will have a chance to weigh in.

C&D'd

Sadly Brothers, I have been C&D'd.  I believe it is a result of models on Cults3D whcih I am removing.  So in an effort to be safe and cover my bases, I will be pausing the Patreon until I redesign some of the more problematic aspects of the models I have been making for you guys.  

I will completely understand anyone who decides to jump ship.  Hopefully I can win you back again later.

My current plan is to continue making Grey Knights proxies.  I thin...

Good news!

Space clergyman and friend will be pre-supported!!!!!
