Valkyrie Concept Art Spotlight

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first preview of next month's model. We had a long discussion about where we wanted to go next and ultimately decided to settle on doing a Valkyrie Model for our June 2021 release. We noticed that this is a fairly popular subject matter for sculptors, but that nobody was really breaking any barriers in terms of pose and subject design. And so this is what we're tackling for you for June's model!

Here's some of the concept art by the talented Connor S...

May 2021 Content Release!

Hello everyone!

We have a special new design for you this month which we agreed upon tackling after debating over the concept art. The Kindred Spirits was very different from some of our previous work and this model is once again very daring. We're trying to be as creative as we can with the bases and we hope that's reflected in the models we're coming up with too!

We were hit by some technical problems during the creation of this model, but despite the difficulties, we...

The Kraken's Vault MyMiniFactory + Patron Discount is LIVE!

Hey everyone!

Over the past month, we've been preparing a new method of distributing our older models. Since we started doing all of this at the end of October, we've changed the way we handle older content and this is going to be the new way for how you'll be able to get models from previous months that you missed out on. 

Naturally, as thanks for your continuing support on our Patreon, we want to give you a permanent benefit in this regard, so each month you'll receive a 30...

Month 7 Preview - Kindred Spirits

Hey everyone,

First of all, our apologies for being relatively quiet this month. We started this project at the beginning of March with the aim to try something really different and new, though it ended up being quite a tricky one! We've put in a lot of time and effort (and extra hours!) to making this something we'll think you love. Let us know what you think! We think this is one of our more upbeat designs and a new style that should raise some eyebrows.

The model wil...

Update: Split parts

Hey everyone! As requested we have broken the up the base, the Anchor and head/collar chain to smaller pieces to allow for more printer types. Apologies this wasn't done sooner but we hope this resolves any issues you may have had! Should be able to find it in the folder on MyAirBridge.

Month 6 - Angel of the Deep

Hello all!

First of all, a huge welcome to everyone who has joined us this month! We'd like to express our gratitude and thanks for your support of us! Every new Kraken's Vault patron is a step toward our ultimate goal of working on this full time and we hope that we will get there with your support. 

Last month, we had a poll where we asked you if you wanted us to continue making 2-3 smaller miniatures for each release, or if you wanted us to do a single, larger and more det...

Month Six - Teaser

Hello all! The next release is out in two days. Here's a little sneak peak to key you in...

Month 6 Preview - Concept Art

Hey Patrons!

We're welcoming so many more of you than ever before! So, welcome to the crew! It's fantastic to have you aboard and we hope you'll enjoy what we've got in the pipeline. 

The results from the poll showed that producing an epic, boss-style miniature just edged out over continuing with our format of 2-3 unique models with reposes. That means that this month we'll be giving this a trial run! We think it will absolutely be worth your patronage and we'll be throwing i...

Month 5 Arrives Today! - Abomination Beasts

Hello all, 

Continuing on with our eldritch creations, we bring you these terrifying horrors that the cult has been busy "perfecting".

A download link to all the .STLs will be available later today, and we can't wait for you to get your hands on them.

Thank you once again for supporting us, and we hope you will love these mad creations as much as we loved making them.

What would you prefer we do for each month's release?

Future Plans - We're planning to change some things up!

Hey patrons!

We want to let all of you know about our plans for the March set. The Febuary set will be with you next week and they'll be a post this week showing off the models and their reposes. 

However, for March, we want to change things up. 

As many of you know, we're a team of four. One of us works on Kraken's Vault full time. The rest of us work on this project in our spare time when and where we're able. We release 2-3 unique models with reposes every month...

Month 4 Arrives - Mimics!

Hello all,

After our release last month, we had a chat about what we wanted to do next which turned into a larger discussion about which models we enjoyed making and the favourites we had so far - especially for the artists. 

We realised that the consistent favourites among us were by far the eldritch creations we've done, such as the Undead Behemoth and the Door Mimic. The artists were keen to sink their teeth into this theme again, so we started brainstorming and remembered...

Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone! As the holiday season is in full swing and we're sure many of you are taking time away from work or school, we'd like to wish you Happy Holidays and a great New Year. 2020 was a wild ride with many ups and downs, but we are positive about next year and what Kraken's Vault will be doing. 

Our next content pack will be releasing in January, so stay tuned for it! We'll be visiting a specific theme that we think many of you will love.

Until then, stay safe and have a...

Attention Patrons - About the Launch Month Members Tier

First of all, a massive thanks to all of you who have joined us at our early stage! The last three months have been a blur and we owe each of you a huge debt for believing in us. 

The Launch Month Member Tier, which all of you are currently part of, was intended to stay for a month before being hidden. We decided to extend that by another month since we had plenty of slots to fill. 

Tomorrow, we will be unpublishing this tier. This means that no one new will be able to s...

Month #3 Arrives Tomorrow!

Hi everyone!

Sharpen your spears!

Tomorrow the December 2020 set will be available to download, so in anticipation of that, here's a full preview for you! 

This month we're bringing you some gorgeously modelled Greek-themed Warriors! The big focus has been on dynamic poses and action-packed detail, which some of you have told us is important to you in miniatures. We hope that this month will deliver! And as a bonus, enjoy a Balista Siege Weapon on top of the other model...

Month 3 - Patron Preview

Hi there everyone! We hope you've had a good couple of weeks. As December approaches, we have a little teasery preview of the next set, which we'll just call Month 3 for now. Some great work has gone into these models and we know you won't be disappointed. While we work on finishing the set, here's a little sneak peak of what to expect....

We'll have more for you next week!

Artistic Insights #2

Hey everyone!

Now that the Cult is at fighting strength, we thought we'd show you a snapshot of how we developed them from concept to release. To that end, here's a selection of concept art from Connor that shows how the idea for the set was explored before being turned over to Tom and James for 3D work. 

The Cult was envisioned as something Lovecraftian, which guided the overall theme. They are defined, as you can likely tell, by sharp edges and scary masks. 

We'r...

Early Bird Extension!

A short update for you guys. We've decided to extend our lowest tier for an additional month since we still have plenty of slots left to fill. Not much else to it than that - if you know anyone unsure about jumping onboard, tell them now is the time to do so!

Month Two is almost here!

Hi everyone!

The second month of Kraken's Vault content will be here on the 1st of November after 12:00pm GMT.  Here's a preview of what you'll be receiving! 

The full force of the Cult has arrived. Joining the Cultist Mage - as seen in the Welcome Pack - are the Cultist Assassins and Brutes. They bring the threat of the cult to a new sinister level... how will they affect your games? 

In total, you'll be receiving:

- Brute, with Greataxe, Pose 1

Artistic Insights #1

Greetings, Patrons! 

We're starting a new series of exclusive posts to peel back the curtain on what we do. From initial concepts to finished sculpt, we hope to show you - the patrons - a deeper and exclusive look at what we're working on before we reveal each month's set of STLs. 

Today, Connor shows off a piece of concept art he's been working on for a special miniature, which we'll be talking more about at a later date. We'll be calling this series 'Artistic Insight...

Update - 2/10/20 - A little FAQ for the journey ahead

Now that Kraken's Vault is a thing, we can all see what it is right now, but we want to make it clear what it will be. So... this is that. Maybe we can do it like an FAQ? Yeah, let's do it like that.

What are you giving me monthly?

We're going to do a new set of models every month. So, if you're a subscriber, or if you're finding us for the first time, by subbing or staying subbed, you'll have access to a new set for the month. At the start of a new month...

A Special Message to all new Patrons...

Kraken's Vault is something we've been working on for a while. Our launch today marks almost a whole year of work, from deciding that we wanted to put our models in the hands of other people, to developing an approach to Patreon, to developing our current models and bases... bringing us all the way to today. 

We've learned a lot and we're over the moon and delighted to finally have had Kraken's Vault become a reality. But this is just the beginning!

It's going to be a hectic ...
