Final releases for May

Hey Guys,

Another busy month here at IOL HQ is drawing to a close. I have just finished uploading the third crusty mutant, and the warhead shrine terrain pieces. I think the Dropbox link might have expired, but I will be sending out a new link valid throughout June tomorrow, along with the MFF fulfillment :)

I´m gonna go get a bit of sleep, and then its straight on into the merchants and caravanners tomorrow. See you all for more fun miniatures in June 👋

Mutant child bannerbearer

Greetins´cretins

Hope you are all having a great time. Unlike our unlucky little friend here, who got the short end of the stick when they were handing out radioactive blessings. He did get an extra arm though, which is very useful for hauling around the cult banner.


The mutant child is available in the Wanderer View Post

Sister Axe

Hark, heathens!

Sister  Axe, the giant nuclear nun is here to join the crusade. Armed with a  selection of heavy things mounted on the end of a long stick, all the  better to smite unbeliever with! And if that is not enough to convert  them, she also carries a machinegun. Pew Pew! Glory to the Atom!

Linky to the Wanderer rewards <-- Right here.

Ahem..  Anyway, this mode...

All glory to Atom!

The Preacher is here, supported, tested and available now for all Witness and Wanderer supporters.

It  was a certainly lot of fun coming up with this character, and I think he  turned out well. Some interesting opportunities for paintschemes and  effects on this one, excited to see what you guys come up with. He will...

Some WIPs and a throwback

Good morning fellow travellers,

Heres to hoping the sun smiles on your day, wherever you are ☀️


Commission work and parenting took a chunk out of my time the first week of the month, but work progresses behind the scenes at a steady pace, and I think we will get through quite a good collection of miniatures this month once it all starts coming together :)

Over the weekend I went in and reworked one of my older sculpts a bit. The Outrunner was ...

Wastelander heads and community updates

Whew, what a hectic start to the month!

Things have been busy on the homefront and with the more boring sides of running a business, and I havent even had a chance to post any proper updates yet. SO I´m just going to fit a lot of text in to this post. Hang tight :P

I managed so far this week to sculpt a set of modular wastelander heads, which you can find in the 2022-05-05 11:04:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Killer rockworm with a shotgun - Free mini

In case you needed further proof that I am indeed a silly person - Heres a mini that occured spontaneously today while I was working on some otherwise very serious killer rockworms.

Big Crusty Mutant


The first of the big crusty mutants is ready and have been added to the Wanderer folder.

This guy comes on a 40mm base with two gunoptions. I have included the guns as additional separate items, for the converters amongst you.

I´m also working on a couple of mates for him, which will be joining him next month :)

Mutant Archers

Hey Guys,

Its time to get old school, with this set of mutants sporting some tried and tested wasteland survival weaponry - The bow and the arrow. No more running out of ammo mid-fight, just good oldfashioned killing people with pointy sticks.

Grubbs, Poachy and Jezzika are awaiting you now in the Wanderer folder, ready to print, paint and play. Thanks again for all your support 🙏 And I hope you have...

Tech Knight released

"Until death, it is all life" - And thus the aging noble patched up his old powered armour, and trudged of into the wasteland on another quest.

March update ( initial releases and W.I.P.s)

Hey friends, hope you are all keeping well out there in the world ❤️


In here its a bit of a madhouse, full of mutated ants, crazy old men and piles of random crap just lying around.

Sorry if theres been a bit of radio silence on my behalf, its just because I´m so super busy sculpting new stuff for you, I barely have time to use this "internet" thing thats so popular with kids these days.

Also I found out today that there were problems with a lot of the MFF re...

Take cover!

Fresh of the interactive sculpting table, and guaranteed to provide a solid cover save bonus.

These junk barricades are available now in the Wanderer folder. Designed to print support-free direct of the built plate, they come in both solid and pre-hollowed variants, so you can spend less time printing, and more time playing ❤️🎲

Modular Mutants update

Hey-hey normies!

I hope you have all had a great month so far. And a hearthfelt welcome to all the new supporters ❤️ 👋 

First of all, sorry for the lack of updates throughout February. The modular mutants have proved a far greater challenge than first anticipated, and I was not helped much by a school holiday followed by a bout of illness that kept me bedridden for a week, and have made it hard for me to sit at the computer for more than a few hours a day.

Anyway...

More modular mutantness

Bit of a slow progress this week, as I had to spend most of my time on commissions. But I did manage to add another body + a couple of extra arms and heads to the mutants set. You can find the files now in the Wanderer folder.

Good news is that my schedule is more or less cleared for the month, so I look forward to diving into much more mutant madness these next two weeks :)

Manea Bust

Gd´evening fellow survivors!

The month of February has begun, and I got big plans!

More mutants, a noble knight and his steed, more mutants and hopefully I will also find the time this month to start building out the Vault of the Mediamancer set :)

I expect to have the first batch of modular mutants ready at the  end of the week, and I will begin work on the Techknight on the livestream tomorrow over on 2022-02-02 17:50:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Coming up in February

Ahoy friends!

We are heading in to February, and I am starting to work on the next batch of models. For February, my main focus will be making a set of modular mutants. I spent Saturday making up the test guy you see here, and the aim is to make around 5 bodies, 5 legs, and a bunch of heads, weapons, mutations etc. to really flesh out your mutant hordes.

The modular mutants will be joined be a leader and a couple of specialists with modular guns. So lots of fun stuff to get on w...

January releases and roadmap

Happy new year survivors!

We made it through yet another year without complete societal collapse! Well done! To celebrate, lets get straight on with the massive task of creating a range of Post Apocalyptic mutants, madmen and miscreants!

For January, we will have the first wave of mutants, which at present consists of 6 models, with the aim to round that out at 10 within the first couple of weeks. To be added to this set yet is a big mutant, 2 "regular" mutants with guns, and a ps...
