Well... I'm curious, when I announced that the Skjalos Guard would receive a new unit entitled 'Sykaran Ymirae', what you expected it to be - I'd like to think very few expected such a monstrous addition to their roster!
Well, today I can show off this work-in-progress shot of one of them, and can confirm that these will be released in a unit of three model poses, equipped with huge shields and mauls for the most aggressive defensive unit. They stand 45mm tall, just a little sh...

Hey there all! What's this - three updates in two days? Pfft, it's not like I'm working dusk till dawn to make up for a delayed start or anything, don't even think it!
Anyway, today, I present the latest addition to the Legions of Khurybah, the Hollow Ones:
As the Daemons of Khurybah rise, dragging the bones and flesh of the fallen together into warped, broken bodies, some find themselves with the ability to animate those still alive. Like puppets, those unfortunate enough to ...

Hey there all - talk about taking my time, yeah it's the 22nd and I've only just put up my first preview image! That said, here we have a (nearly finished) new tank, the Ourephyx Exterminator. As the Myriax Destroyer is an entirely combat-based vehicle compared to its Myriax Executor cousin, so too is the Ourephyx Exterminator to its predecessor, the Ourephyx Marauder. Dispensing its troops capacity in favour of two Trilectic Blasters and the Krytane Rotary Missile Launcher with radium missil...

Hey there everyone! It's that time of the month again - the dawn of all new digital downloadable destroyers to defeat your dastardly dice-dealing opponents!
First things first, for all those new here, you'll receive your files via an email invite link to redeem your files via MyMiniFactory within 24 hours of your signing up (I have to manually issue invites, so you may have to wait a little sometimes - since I have to sleep too!) - and as always you'll get your cheeky 15% discount code ...

Hey there all. God. I am so sick of rivets now, honestly I don't even know how else to say it. But it was so worth the pain, to see the now fully-realised Komygan Eidola design up and plodding! Standing at around 10cm tall, comfortably occupying an 80mm round base, the Eidola comes with a whole host of weapons - admittedly, there are no bespoke weapons this time, however it comes fully equipped with 11 weapon options previously made available in the now-discontinued Atlas Armoured Construct, ...

Hey there all, took me long enough, but the Quolia is finally here, ready for release tomorrow! Equipped with a huge, heavy blade and a siege claw, this thing means business. Even in this spread-legs pose, it stands an imposing 25cm tall, with a 22cm wide footprint, dwarfing all but the Nyphia in scale, casting a looming shadow across the battlefield.
Are you excited for tomorrow's release? I know I am!

Well. I know you like big robots. So this month, you get big robots and small robots. This right here is a set of Komygan Armour, a 10cm tall combat suit designed to accompany the Covenants of Astyri on the most devastating of battlefields. Housing little more than the remnants of long-decayed flesh, the Eidola within are insane spirits of hatred, the enslaved minds of those poorest souls bound to the machine for decades under the directions of Kolym Hysta, driven simply to act as agents of d...

Well, I've done robots. I've done tanks. I've done infantry. Now for something new: this August, for the first time ever, a set of four bikers will be appearing as part of my Patreon rewards, the latest addition to the Skjalos Guard armoury.
The Hellstorm Knights function as fast scouts and a recon unit, typically equipped with little in the way of weapons beyond a simple las-pistol and weather-appropriate tools, however many commanders have equipped theirs with las-rifles and sniper ri...

Hey there all! Something new today, neither robot, nor tank, nor quite infantry - manned artillery support for the Skjalos Guard!
Allow me to present the Kaieo Destroyer Teams, a two-man crew operating a segment of an artillery battery, one driving and firing the track-mounted shrap-shell cannon, the other directing their aim with a collimator. This set currently includes both infantry models, the Kaieo hull, and a separate shell and the collimator as a separate extra pieces for use as ...

Hey there all, one of the last previews for July's models, coming in hot with three days to go, is the Khayalos Tyrant, an Obliatus Drone of a unique design, specifically created by and for the Covenants commander, Overlord Khayalos, to serve as his personal eyes on the battlefield, watching over his subordinates, and using its talons to decapitate both enemy and friends suspected of treasonous thoughts alike.
On a more model-wise point, this is a big ol' robot thing, and includes...

Hey there all - I know, I know, you're pretty sick of the Slaughter Corps, and so am I now after focussing on them so much, however I can finally show a completed render of them! Here you can see all twenty body poses, all thirteen head variants, lasrifles with and without bayonets, five heavy weapons, las and blast pistols, siege hammer, axes, swords, shotguns, lance, scythe, talon, banner - I believe the only thing not in this image is the sniper rifles, which are all in the same p...

Hey there all, just wanted to check in with an update (apologies for the delays in communication this month, a lot of personal issues arose of late). Again, this is not quite a finished shot, but gives you a good idea of where the Skjalos Slaughter Corps are going - that is, with every damn option under the sun!
Though this image shows only five bodies, there will be a far larger selection, between ten and twenty options so you have a frankly huge amount of customisation, and t...

Hey there everyone - back to something more familiar and boring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's more tanks... but wait - that's no cannon, that's no bird, that's no plane! And if you really thought it was a plane, I strongly advocate Specsavers.
It's a missile launcher! Not your average armoured missile bank either, no, this is a tank for real men!* Four giant missiles sit atop the turret, and for once, I actually designed a tank with (vague) practicality in mind, where the missiles ca...

The Legions of Khurybah are not what you are used to. They're not manifestations of psychic will, or fallen angels, or the agents of a divine antagonist. They are those unfortunate enough to have their souls snared by Khurybah, His reach grasping hold of the dead as they part this world, dragged to the Otherside, formless, sightles...

Welcome to the first preview for June's releases - I think this might be the earliest I've posted a monthly preview during any cycle in 2022 so far, so uh... go me!
Anyway. New thing! Following up on everyone's desire for lewd sexy slack tracks, and my own personal wish to do something with interleaved track wheels, we now have the... oddest looking addition to the Skjalos Guard armoury, the Nyoma-Mjalken Tank Hunter.

Well, I told you I'd be back with pictures! Following up on March's Haratarii War Covenant comes a very new reinterpretation, with not two, not three, but four arms! Although, admittedly it would've been kind of weird to just have three arms, but hey, anyway.
These guys are a little stockier, trading their desert garbs for shoulder armour and chunky legs designed to withstand the recoil from firing heavy cannons, and for forming an indomitable wall of blades defending any posit...

Hey there y'all. As promised, technically it is within the realms of 'tomorrow' (with ten minutes to spare), and thus I present the latest addition to the Skjalos armoury: the Acaskë Incinerator.
Usually most of my vehicles are named 'x' tank, or 'y' destroyer, or somesuch name, however unusually this one is simply named after the weapon it bears, the Acaskë Incinerator, and as such this configuration of vehicle, a heavily modified Njassa Transport, is exclusively designed to hold thi...

Well hi there! Fancy seeing you here, dyou wanna see some tanks? Well, thank god, otherwise, really, I'm so confused about why you're reading a post about tanks.
Today sees the return of the much loved Isaurix and Chalyciax vehicles, with a slightly refined style that brings them into line with the rest of the Skjalos vehicle styles, but maintaining their somewhat iconic vibe of sheer chonk.*
These two share the same chassis as the Oryssa, Iorynn and Kystoja, and so fall into that...

Now then, I've gotten everything ready for this month's releases except for one thing, the UIF Devastator, which I fully intended to have ready on this release, but honestly, I'm not happy with the direction it's gone in and I have opted to delay it instead of releasing something substandard. With that in mind, I have decided to cycle a couple of older rel...

Hey there all! As promised, troopers clad in Hyperion-Class Heavy Armour are here, wielding two handed siege hammers and armed with two shoulder-mounted reaper cannons.
This, to date, is the single most customisable kit I've made, and you can see them here standing atop 32mm bases. Included are five pre-posed pairs of legs, three pairs of arms wielding their hammers in two hands, and two arms with a hammer in one hand, and four arms with their hands free (including, as pictured here, a ...

Alright, final update on the Callisto before moving onto the infantry and weapons pack.
The Callisto Super-Heavy Weapons Carrier is, as tools of war are, an engine of destruction and death, but on a near unparalleled level compared to vehicles of a similar size. Heavily armed and protected by projected shields making it near impregnable to everything from small arms fire to anti tank and Titan weaponry. This also makes it rather useful, not only as a weapons carrier, but also as a...
