November 2023 Patreon Release

I could've sworn it was January 2022, only yesterday!

Hey there all! Welcome to this month's Patreon release post, which acts not only as a notification that your new stuff is all ready to download, but also as a lengthy ramble covering inconsistently important information about those new models too. Be prepared for anything!

Before we get started though, if you're new here, you'll receive your files via MyMiniFactory, either through an email invitation to redeem your files throug...

Putting the Armour in Armoured Personnel Carrier: November Preview

Hey there all! I had a little realisation yesterday that I hadn't done a tank! Me? Doing a Patreon release with no tanks? Perish the thought! To correct my heinous mistake, I decided it was about time a second variant of my favourite super-heavy tank, the Anja-Maijen Super-Heavy Destroyer (based on the Skaryssa chassis), appeared, and this time, I've completely remade the entire central section, taking more inspiration from real-world tanks for the front of the hull than usu...

Fleshlings, Fembots and Filled-Out Armour: A Preview for November's releases!

Hey there all! I know I've been a little quiet this month, with far fewer previews than I usually aim to put out, but this is because of two main things: one, planning for future projects, and two, because I've been working on everything at once, so I've not had any one thing finished, but all things in-progress. A terrible mistake on my part, of course, because now I have four days to finish everything and release it. Wonderful!

Nevertheless, I bring tidings!

First, of the aforem...

November Preview: The Evolution of the Skjalos Guard

Evening all! I thought it was probably about time that I show you guys what I've been working on besides big robots' instructions.

November's release will see the rebuilding of the Skjalos Guard Slaughter Corps, rereleased as Skjalos Legionaries, and to celebrate that, I thought it might be nice to see how their design has evolved.

Their first venture onto Solwyte Studios was in the form of the Skjalos Regiments kit, including las-pistols, las-rifles and a number of improvised wea...

October 2023 Release - New Robots, New Tanks and New Infantry!

Hey there all! I promise, I'll update this post tomorrow with more information, but I'll be honest, owing to the absolute mess this month has been, I've been working 6am-8pm every day for the last week and I honestly, just want to have a good ol' sleep. Until then, however, here are pictures of everything you guys got in this month's release!

The Future of the Promised Land. Well, kind of.

Hey there all! Today I thought I'd post an update on the state and potential future entries into the Promised Land factions, in the form of trees. This is listed just a little further in, and describes a bunch of new units I plan to make in the future.

Force Composition in The Promised Land

So, in case some of you following the development of The Promised Land, a gaming system for using Solwyte Studios miniatures, missed it or are totally new to it, there have been some revision...

September 2023 Release - Super-Heavy Destroyers, Big Guns and a whole lot more!

Hey there all! Welcome back to your monthly newsletter from Solwyte Studios - that's me, if you're wondering - with a whole load of new things. Oh yeah. Big ol' thangs. And stuff.

If you're new here, there's a little section at the end of this post I suggest reading if you've got any questions, and if it doesn't answer them, feel free to shoot me a message on Discord or via Patreon. Speaking of Discord, if you aren't there already - 2023-09-04 20:49:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Guardians, Growls and Titanic Guns: the Kaliakos Gatling Gun, Castellan Guard and Taekolta Meridarka

Hey there all! As promised, I'd have new stuff to show you - and also, I just want to say I appreciate everything you guys said in the comments in my last post, it means a lot and really brightened my spirits (not to mention, really motivated my creative mojo!).

With that in mind, may I present the newest weapon to attach to the Kaliakos Anathema Construct - pictured above, the Devastator Super-Heavy Rotary Cannon. Six barrels of hell, braced together with vents at each...

August 2023 Release

Hey there all! August already, where did this year go?! I mean, I also almost entitled this post 'August 2022', so that shows how awake my brain is!

Now, I know last month you guys didn't receive as many new kits as usual, but for those of you who've continued to support me through that dip, I can't understate my gratitude. To accommodate for that, this month gets you an absolute tonne of stuff, and I believe to date the month with the highest number of entirely new kits introduced in o...

A Triple Threat: Marshals of Ioke Enforcer, Phykonite Tyrant and Asp Squadron

Hey there all! Well, you know how I said a few days ago that I had a fair few more things to show you? I wasn't lying.

August 4 will bring a whole host of releases, including all of these new kits. First, I think we'll start off with the biggest.

The Phykonite Tyrants are a revisiting of the older Khayalos' Tyrant kit which built one monstrous betentacled creature. This, ...

By Blade and Talon: Taekolta Wardancers and Kingdoms of Mikaelhelde's Aviarch

Coming soon to a battlefield near you - next month! Warriors with serrated hook-blades and monsters from beyond the veil of night!

I did say I wanted to revisit the Taekolta once I had a slightly more consistent vision to them - and now, the realisation of that vision has begun, with their first new in...

The Time of the Orc has come: the Sykaran Ymirae stalk the battlefields once again!

Hey there all! Preview number two for upcoming August releases!

This time, we'll take a trip down memory lane, revisiting a previous release that has been long overdue an overhaul. Released back in October of last year, I was really happy with how they shaped up for their premiere, however it took very little time before I became dissatisfied with how underwhelmingly small and surprisingly skinny they were. That now has been rectified, with a new set on the way, of five interchangeable ...

August Preview: The Asamus Kyara

Hey there all! Been a while since I last made a post here.

In the meantime, I've been sculpting new Taekolta models, making maps for the Promised Land, planning for the future, and... I'm sure I must've done other things. But anyway, that's not important. What's important follows this.

By far the most popular and successful model I've made was the Asamus War Construct, and whilst it proved to be a favourite both among and apart from you patrons, since its release just over two yea...

An Update on File Updates, and a Big Lengthy Exposition Post!

Hey there all! I know I've been a bit slow on the transition to the new Printed Wargames site, and reuploading the updated files to MyMiniFactory has been a little disjointed, however there will be yet another delay to that. As it turns out, OBJ files are now pretty much compatible with most slicing software, and it's beginning to replace STLs as the dominant printing format - and most importantly, when exported, OBJ files are about half the file size of an STL, meaning that's half as much fo...

A little update for everyone!

Hey there all!

Today brings a bit of a 'quality of life' update to a number of models within the Solwyte Studios miniature range. As last month began the work of, now you can see some of the results of that.

All the files in every single model in the Terran Warhosts, Skjalos Armoury, Aventine Dynasties, Legions of Khurybah, Taekolta, and Kingdoms of Mikaelhelde (and most of the Secutor Constructs) have been repackaged into the new consistent name format, with folders separated int...

July 2023 Patreon Release

Hey there all!

I hope every one of you is doing well and having a good month so far - and hopefully this post will make it a little better too!

Now, longtime patrons here will probably notice that this month's offerings are unusually slim, and if you've not been keeping up with the posts last month, it's because there has been a lot of admin stuff going on in the background - file organisation, taking stock of where everything is at, and plans for future, not to mention preparatio...

... and what would a month of Solwyte be, without a giant robot?

Well, hey there all! Better late than never, and I did promise a Hastaxii Acheron Construct (which I may change the name of before its release).

Well, it's 17 cm tall, an absolute unit, and is close to completion for the core body - and you'll be getting your hands on it on the 4th of July!

Until then, enjoy your weekend, and the online preview; I can't wait to see new old world things!

July/August Preview: Aviarch, Skjalos Hazard Eradicators and Wraith Troopers

Hey there all! Long time no see! Sorry I've been quiet this month, as most of you will have seen I've had a lot more on my plate than I usually would - still Patreon stuff, but more 'quality of life' improvements and technical amendments and organisation than creative (and trust me, I'd far rather have been doing the creative stuff).

That said, however, I still have stuff to show you guys, that will be coming out in July! First up, we have an update to the Skjalos Hazard Troopers, who w...

An addendum to the last post!

Hi there all. Just to clarify, the last thing I wanted to do is cause you guys issues during this time, there were a number of factors I had not considered when making that announcement, and I apologise if my for any stress I may have caused.

Contrary to my original plans, from next month onwards, while files will not be available to purchase, they will be maintained as downloadable for customers who have previously purchased them until such time as I find a way to make them available t...

June Mega-Preview!

Hey there all! So, I know I've been pretty quiet here lately, sorry about that; I kept thinking about each thing, 'this isn't quite enough to post on its own', and then those things accumulated until I had a bunch of stuff to show off. So here goes - I'll put more actual information about these later on, but for now, I think photos do a lot of the talking!

May Preview: Ulkarï Super-Heavy Carrier

Afternoon everyone! Apologies for being quiet these last few days, but hopefully it was worth it - a couple of last-minute changes have had to be made to this month's release schedule, unfortunately, due to my over-estimations of what I could do with the limited time I had to work with this month. Unfortunately, the Aventine Dynasties infantry will no longer be an option for this month's release, but instead you'll be receiving the following things:

Hello there everyone! Welcome to a new post, about new things, from me! Hopefully, now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, you'll see more productivity in the coming days - and where better to start than the reimagining of what seems to be a fan favourite model, Overlord Ambera Phykon!

As a number of you will be familiar, the current Ambera Phykon is a somewhat scantily clad leader of the Covenants of Astyri, suspended in midair by a betentacled engine, wreathed in cloak. No...
