Ragebound Techno Demon

The Ragebound Techno Demon is complete. This guy is definitely the most time I've spent on any 1 model. He's a big, multipart, monopose wreckingball on a fancy base. I hope you all like him.

Every part of this guy took a long time but I think he was worth it. Let's take a closer look:

Bonus model swap with PrintMinis!

Hey everybody!

I got to talking with the good people at PrintMinis and we decided to do a model swap this month. They've got some pretty awesome modular terrain to share with dorkfactory patrons (head to the DF download center to grab it!)

Alongside cool additions to the container setup, they also put out some awesome themed characters this month. Make sure to take a look!

June Release #3: Vulture Pattern Carrion Harvester Drone (preview)

Good morning!

I'm pleased to announce the June bonus sculpt is ready! The Vulture Pattern Carrion Harvester Drone was a fun project indeed. As you may all have noticed I am particularly fond of tubes and tendrils so I had a great time working on this.

This character was based on the idea of a servitor drone who picks over battlefield detritus and gathers discarded eq...

Dorkfactory Proxy Table for Grimdark Future (onepagerules' wargame)

I've been playing tabletop wargames and various other formats of strategy games for decades but as the years roll by I find myself with less and less free time to devote to gaming. My tabletop game of choice has always been 40k, but this edition (9th) has really burnt me out and I just don't have the time to stay up to date anymore. I LOVE super complicated games, and I know they are innately hard to balance, but with 40k it doesn't feel like earnest game design. The break-neck pace of sweepi...

The Dorklevel Reward System

Hello friends,

The t's have been crossed and the i's are dotted. The new dorklevel reward system is ready. It's been partially explained a few times but here's the full spiel on how it works:


How does it work?

Bonus Models!

Good morning!

It being a particularly productive in the factory, I'm pleased to announce that a few bonus models are going out to patrons today.

We've got a new head for the Annihilator Cyborg kit, and also a full new set in the vault! Since the Android Agents are so similar to their infested counterparts, it seemed only right to have the Possessed Constructs added to the vault alongside them.

This is a large model that's pre-posed, pre-supported and ready to print in 7 pieces. It was a very fun exercise in excess. Given that he has so many arms and strange appendages, it only seemed right to give all of them something to do. I hope you all enjoy the narrative aspect of this sculpt -- there's a lot going on!

The files for this guy will be out shortly for patrons to download.

Greetings from frigid Minnesota! It sucks to be trapped inside so much but you sure get a lot done. Thanks to that, this walking gunshow of a miniature is ahead of schedule so I thought I'd share a preview :)

More parts are under construction but I'll save that reveal for the release. He'll have alternate heads and also MORE GUNS -- clearly he needs more.

See you all soon!
