Drop Day August 2025

As the Sphere Nation continues to dominate the skies, the Block Infantry needs to catch up!

A brand-new weapon has been issued to the Block Grunts: an Anti-Air Laser.
Of course, Sphere Nation propaganda claims it’s actually a missile launcher — but don’t believe their lies!

We’re also trying something new with the weapon teams:
Two minis are now c...

Painting competition entry 2

Today I have more photos from our painting competition. The user 'ButterEggz' has especially fallen in love with the Blockter and the Personnel Block Carrier.

Painting competition entry 1

The first painting competition is over!
Over the next few days, we'll be showcasing all the entries we received. The winner will be announced once we've shown them all.

Here’s the first entry, submitted by mikemurdock.3971 — and it's a strong start!
Not only is the painting itself impressive, but the photos are top-notch too. The Command & Conquer style really shines through here, and I love the clean, crisp paint job <3

Drop Day July 2025

Summer Has Arrived – and the Spheres Finally Get Some Serious Air Defense!

But first, let's talk about our Scout Supporters:
This month marks the debut of our brand-new "Blocktech" universe, and our Scout Supporters will be the first to receive a Mech from this exciting new line!

Every month, our supporters will get a brand-new Mech miniature.
Each model...

Something New for All Supporters from Scout Level and Up

Patrick and I have been wanting to expand our 28mm range for a while now, but unfortunately, we just don’t have the time at the moment. So we came up with a new idea instead!

We’re both big fans of mechs—especially Battletech. That’s why Patrick started imagining what Battletech-inspired mechs might look like in a more blocky and rounded style...

Starting now, all supporters from Level 1 and up will receive one new mech each month...

Drop Day June 2025

Incredible how fast this month has flown by! 😲

We're still in the heat of the air war—and now we're really kicking things off!

This month, the Blocks are getting their very first fighter jet: the B15 Strike Brick "Brickbird".

It might not look like much, but it can pull off some seriously wild evasive maneuvers!

Drop Day

May is here and with it the next Drop Day!

To give the Spheres a chance again, the infantry will get anti-air missile launchers this month!

We have prepared the first cylinder troops for 28mm.

and as a bonus, the cylinder grunts in 20mm get completely reworked poses!

Sphere Truck (PLEASE READ !!!)

So guys, the Sphere truck is ready...BUT we still have to work on the supports for the trailer!

We will send you the pre-supports for the trailer, but they are not ideal yet! We'll be working on them over the next two weeks. We were able to print the truck without any problems!

I hope you have a lot of fun with it and we hope to see a lot of painted trucks soon!

Happy Easter!

Happy easter dear supporters!

unfortunately we didn't manage to get the Sphere Truck ready before easter (we are still struggling with the supports) but I am confident that you will get it during the week. The truck is already working, it's the trailer that's giving us problems :I

I'll take this opportunity to remind you of our colouring competition and share a few sketches by master Patso Catso.

We are launching our first painting competition!

Now the time has come! We have released a variety of models and we think it's time to make you sweat a little :)

For this reason we start our first painting contest!

If this is successful, we can imagine to do something like this once a quarter!

here are the rules:

  • 🛠️ Eligible Minis: Must be miniatures from "The Block War" (20mm or 28m...

April Drop!

The time has come! This month we're taking to the skies!

The first flying unit is ready for the battlefield

The "Blockter" is basically a glass cannon. It can dish it out, it's fast and tanks hate this thing. But don't let an AA get it in front of the barrel....
 
In the 28mm range, the Spheres now also get their flamethrowers! These will also be prepared for the 20mm range as soon a...

Back from China & back to Work!

Hi guys, I've been back from China for a while (it was very, very cool! a lot of things NOT as I thought :O)

Now we continue and we are approaching an important milestone!

The first big milestone for me and Patrick is to get at least one unit of each unit type on the field. This moment is now approaching!
What I mean by that is = flying units!

JoJos trip to China!

Hey everyone!

From February 8 to February 25, 2025, Jojo will be in China for work, which means internet access will be limited.

If you join as a new supporter during this time, you’ll receive your Patreon access at the earliest on February 25. We know this isn’t ideal, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding!

Thanks so much for your support – it means the world! ❤️

New Lore PDF

I don't know about you, but Patrick's lore PDFs are always a highlight for me :D

This time we're taking a closer look at the history of the ‘Cylindrians’.

By the way, you can find all the lore PDFs here

February rules compendium

The February rules compendium has all updated unit profiles and rules for all the units released up until now.
Other news are the changed artillery point costs and the ability to take Blocktanks/Spheretanks and Blockgrunts/Spheregrunts as support unit.
Many of the older cards have been updated with the AA-rule - you will need it very soon ;)

You also found rules & lore here on a "...

Drop Day! Feburary 2025

The first month of 2025 is over and February is characterised by heavy fire support!

 The ‘Block State’ finally gets its artillery support!

So that they don't stand unprotected on the field, this month there is also terrain and the Block Truck (Artillery like this needs a lot of ammunition...)

View Post

Finally the first terrain !!!

Now the time has come, the first terrain set is ready!

 Please note that this set is optimised for FDM printing! Another set optimised for SLA / DLP printing will follow!

I do not claim that the parts are not printable on a resin printer, but they are easier to realise on FDM machines.

Into the new year with news :D

Hello dear supporters and welcome to the year 2025!

To celebrate all the new arrivals and to give you a taste of what's to come in the next few weeks and months, here's a little foretaste.

Now in January Spheres finally get their APC on the 20mm front and the Blocks can now bring some baggage and a shotgun to the field in 28mm!

Thanks for the support and Merry Christmas!

Hello Guys,

Thank you so much for your incredible support—it means the world to us!

As a small token of our gratitude, we’re thrilled to offer you access to two of our older designs: Chonko and the Weird War Mech Madison.

You have found us :O!!!

Thanks to a very nice article on the site “wargamer.com” we have some new supporters on Patreon and tribes since yesterday :D

Patrick and I welcome you and we hope you have fun with our ideas. Since a lot of people are coming at once and asking me various questions, here are some quick answers:

1) When will I get my files?

As soon as possible! I'm very sorry that some of you have to wait a bit,...

History lesson with Sir Patrick

There are new pages for your Block War lexicon :D

Patrick has once again done a great scientific job and collected valuable information!

I recommend you to print it out and collect it in a folder, this increases the reading fun enormously :D

Have fun

Infos, Infos, Infos!!!

Today I have a few things for you again:

The first expansion set of the Sphere Grunts is now ready!

The guys have light luggage on their backs and as a weapon they use the small but nice submachine gun! The guys run around rather than stand ;)

But you can mix the parts with the first set...

Bonus Drop = Blocktruck 405

Tomorrow you will get a little bonus from us = The Blocktruck 405 with trailer of course :D

Ideal for transporting heavy things across the battlefield..for example those important block containers ;)

Do you have an Idea?

In the Attachment you will find Benno.
Benno is cool!
He likes to charge forward quickly.

But Benno is giving me a headache because I want to give him something other than a fist in his marked hand. Simple neutral poses are not necessary, as there will soon be a separate set for them.

So now my question= what should Benno take into the fight?

Dropday ....wait what?

You read that right - today is already Dropday!

Why?

Since mid-November, we have also been offering our game rules and print files on “MyMiniFactory” under the Tribe program.

For people who don't know, it's a similar principle to Patreon.

Since with Tribes it is only possible to drop at the beginning of the month, we have decided to move the dropday to the first of the month.

Important note= you don't have to change, the rewards and the prices are the same (a...

a very important update!

I am currently working on the first extension of the 28mm Spheres. So I thought I'd start with something important = neutral arms!

8 different poses in two different lengths, the whole left and right gives you 32 different possibilities ^^!

These arms immediately give the little guys more character, but don't worry there will be more :D

November Drop Day :D

The time has come, after the Block State has broken through the Sphere Nation lines too often with its ABCs, new weapons have now been released!

Behold....the Sphere Artillery!!!

Bring destruction to the enemy with it!....but don't fire on your troops yourself if you can...

Block State fans will get the first modular 28mm figures this month and as a bonus we are adding the Self Propelled Cylinder Gun on top!

Thanks to all of you and looking forward to future pictures o...
