Late is the hour in which I submit this post, but it finally is here. The post you've all been waiting for - the head post!
April 4 will see the release of the Kaliakos Anathema Construct's head and neck, which, I have to say, has been the most awkward thing to make for quite a while. Truthfully, I find making heads the most challenging part of any model, so whilst I've been designing this on and off all month, it only clicked what would work in the last few days. Those...

Afternoon everyone! I know I've been quiet the last week, I've just been taking some time away from the screen for a bit because I've not really had a proper break for a while, but I'm back now! And oh, am I back in style... if I do say so myself.
Today brings the wonderful news of both an update to the previously previewed Skjalos Defences terrain kit - now including optional rails, fabric-covered rails and armoured rails, but also a full set of ten wall side options, ladders, stairs, ...

Almost, what, three years since I began modelling for what would become Solwyte Studios? How time flies!
Anyway, today I bring to you the first of April's release previews, and indeed the first of a new range of miniatures (don't worry, the Aventine Dynasties and Taekolta haven't been forgotten, I'm just waiting until such time as I have a more fully developed concept to continue creating infantry for them).
The Kingdoms of Mikaelhelde are a faction composed entirely of Mystic...

Hello there! Welcome to this month's Patreon release post - a robot, another robot, a half-robot infantry model, a normal infantry model and a tank model. Oh, and a bundle kit that comes with three small robots and a medium robot. Big robot time!
Exciting stuff huh?

Hey there all! First preview of the month, on, err... the 19th? Good job, me!
Anyway, onto the cool stuff. As part of February's release, you can look forward to an all-new heavy infantry set for the Skjalos Guard, and a huge character model to lead the Covenants of Astyri Kastellites, or just to lead a Hyperion Covenant into battle as an absolute beefcake leader.
The Skjalos Hazard Corps are, unlike the rest of their Slaughter Corps brethren, dedicated to specialised missions...

Hey there all! The last day of 2022 brings yet another preview - one, of an update to a model you've already seen glimpses of, and another of an entirely new model!
First up, the Kaliakos - good god this thing is absolutely stacked in detail! As you can see, its had quite some work done to it over the past month; a full torso with emplaced weapons, steps to walk around the top, armoured plating around the front and sides, huge rear engines and a power core, pistons that articulate a hea...

As I understand it, it's already Christmas Day in plenty of countries already, but for me, it's the dying hours of Christmas Eve, and as I write this post, the smells of home-baked mince pies are wafting through to me. Oh, it's all terribly exciting!
Naturally, of course, it's another day too, which means it's another preview for stuff you can expect to arrive in January - and today we have something that surprises me just as much as it will you guys! It's almost an accidental creation,...

Well, as you can see, one option has them on horseback, but that's just the beginning - this kit will be split into interchangeable lower segments (legs, horseback, tails, spider legs, possibly tracks), a waist segment (so you can naturally angle the torso in any direction, a torso segment (with two arms, four arms and six arms), heads and arms.

So, you thought getting a super-colossal robot was your surprise release for December. You were incorrect.
This second December preview introduces the first aerial Skjalos vehicle, the Nighthawk-Class Interceptor. Rather than a fast strike vehicle, this is a slower, but agile, vehicle, hovering and gliding between city streets and close terrain with an surprisingly quiet combination of engines and anti-gravity plates making it perfect for stealth deployments. Armed with las-destro...

One last post this month... and with it comes a preview for a collaboration with Diverging Realms! Two titans, one of reconstituted flesh and one of refined steel, battle within the wasted ruins of an ancient civilisation. This duel comprises two pre-posed (large) miniatures, standing atop a fully sculpted scenic base, and both mine and Diverging Realms' models can be found independent of this scene on our respective Patreons as part of our next months' release.
To clarify, the Great Co...

Evening all!
A while back, I released a set of infantry, the Legion Hollows, and at the time, whilst I wasn't unhappy with them, I knew they weren't quite exactly what I'd envisioned for them. Sure, they looked vaguely like possessed warriors, but didn't really radiate the malformations of a Dæmon's possession.
Now, however, I'm starting to get closer to that vision: thralls, bound to the will of a force so great that they can't contain it. That a being of endless evil and ...

Hey there all! About time I put up a post with images, and today I can introduce the all-new AWM-32A Sakraston 'Avenger' Battle Tank! This is a completely new tank chassis for the Skjalos Guard, including both a tank destroyer cannon with a co-axial autocannon, and a twin battle cannon option.
This also is the first vehicle with an optionally openable hatch on its turret, has a forward-mounted turret to fire from a hull-down position, has an all new set of dedicated heavy tank ...

Hey there all! It's already been a rather tumultuous month for me, but things are starting to get back to a vague sense of normal now, thankfully! Now begins the month of pumpkins, bedsheet ghosts and unadvisably large quantities of alcohol, and in the spirit of that, here's this month's 15% discount code: SPOOKYSEASONS
In other news, however, the Solwyte Scrabble is back in full force - and not least with some peculiar surprises for you, I'd imagine. I confess, I need a break from gian...

Hey there all! One last post this month - but not the last new thing to show off in advance of October's rewards on the 4th, as the Skjalos characters are still under wraps!
Let's not forget, this month sees the release of all of the following as well:
Covenants of Mars - Octhyax Achylius

Well, something perhaps unexpected today.
As it is, I confess, I'm rather struggling to get inspired to make any Skjalos infantry sets this month, as I'd planned, so while I try to muster up enthusiasm I've settled for the old reliable things that I find more relaxing to make - tanks!
So, this month, you'll be receiving (in addition to the Myadea Thraecii, Legion Shikari, Myraphyx Naryka, Stykaria-Class Assault Construct) the Octhyax Achylius - the first in a new line of heavy ass...

Hey there all! Welcome back to another October preview, and this time, you may behold, before your very eyes, an all new Covenants of Mars character!
Leading the Myadea legions into battle, commanding from the frontlines, the Thraecii are among the most deadly, not to mention versatile, warriors to face.
Though in this picture, this particular Thraecius is equipped with a Myadean Axe, each arm can be replaced with any of the following options (left or right handed):

Hey there all - a couple of surprises for you today! All new, this October, and not in the slightest on the docket for this month's reward plans, are a pair of additions to the Legions of Khurybah and the Covenants of Mars!
Perhaps the more unusual of the two are the new Legion Shikari, a unit of five models making up the basic 'pure' Dæmon infantry in a force hailing from Khurybah. Just fitting on 40mm bases, these things are by no means a small foe to face, particularly en m...

Hey there all, I'm back with more news today! This month, I released the standard variant of the Stykaria-Class Assault Construct, and one of the most frequent responses were requests for extra shoulder armour - plus, as I recall, one of the most common requests since I began this Patreon was for missile racks on top of my robots. Today, I can reveal that both of these have been done for the Stykaria-Reaper - not to mention, the two all-new arm weapons: twin belt-fed Akhataeon Heavy ...

Hi there all - something very new here, and a slight departure from previous infantry sets!
Introducing the first miniature for a new range of more sorcerous infantry is the Diadoki, of the Taekolta faction.
The Taekolta are predatory civilisation, feared for raiding small isolated settlements across the Promised Land, lead by covens of priests and witches alike. Each tribe, or Kolta, spends most of its time acting independently of the others, however it is not unheard of for, in ...

Evening all! Thought I'd just give you an almost final little preview of all the stuff you can expect to receive on September 4, with pictures of the finished products!
That is, Ochystan Kyporii Seekers (with Phase Carbines and Shotrifles), the Kaia Scout Hybrid (lovingly dubbed by you guys as the Sad Bumper Car) and the Sykaran Ymirae (with Sykaran Gauntlets).
More on these later in the release post, but for now I'm hoping this will be enough to whet your appetites!

Hey there all, finally got an actually finished render up and, following the feedback you guys provided, they've had some amendments to better communicate their individually warped nature!
As I mentioned last time, of course, these 5 will not be the only Hollow Ones sets made, so you'll have a whole load of completely unique models by the end of the line with all unique sets of rugged armour and individual mutations so that no one model in your army need look the same!

A little while ago, I tested the waters with a new type of vehicle for the Skjalos Guard, the Alyspe and Ukoia Scraptanks. The Scraptanks were going to be a new line of vehicle miniatures, but after some criticism* and a little introspection, I realised that they weren't really what I wanted to make. I had a vision for them, and the models I'd created, while I liked them, were not quite what I had intended, and since then on and off I've been trying to get the right feel for them.
