Oh. I didnt' . My bad read it wrong. I joined Feb 1st. Nevermind. My apologies
No worries. You should still have access to the welcome pack right now, and will have Feb part 1 when we release it this evening (Just waiting on some test prints), You'll have access to the other Feb releases as well throughout the month.
I never got to download January's files. My account didn't activate the same day I joined.
Let me take a look at the account. There's no time limit on downloads so if you got end before the end of January you should still have access.
Thank you. I'm just waiting for my account to update so I can start downloading and printing. I love the vehicles!!!
I'm so excited and can't wait to print these. I just joined!
Welcome! Be sure to take a look at our discord and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any trouble with the file system :)
So many great things this month and my printer is down.
Looking forward to the Dark Techno Infantry v2. I especially like the tattered cloth look on the third from the left. Very thematically fitting!
Here's hoping the iron hive upgrade kit has the rest of the ranged options for the tyrant.
I was wondering if you could make winged helmets for the MK3 Tempest Legion troops. Maybe with a Greek god influence.
I like the idea. I'll have to see what I can do when the time comes for an expansion pack.
Personally I love the walking tanks. I can see resources for new treads being hard to come by when you are far out into the galaxy so being able to melt down metals into molds for new legs feels right to me.
10-4. I am not against walkers in general. This on just looks too much like the one from Star Wars.
We have a drawing room on discord if you have drawings on how the design can be improved upon. We are happy to consider community ideas. But without a visualisation, it is difficult to know what it is that you think needs changing. **EDIT: We have decided we will now make tracked alternatives, but only after the walker kits are finished, hopefully this is a compromise that keeps everyone happy**
Just not a fan of the walker
Doing walkers (due to oversaturation of existing tracked tanks) has been known for the last year, if you have ideas on how to improve it do comment in advance in future on our discord drawing room channel **EDIT: We have decided we will now make tracked alternatives, but only after the walker kits are finished, hopefully this is a compromise that keeps everyone happy**
Again a lovely walker-design! So can we expect an Opel Blitz-sci-fi-conversion at some point? Or even a Sd.Kfz. 251?
I like the miniatures, they will give alot of new possibilities in combining. That said, I think the Valour corpse Transport set, while incredibly usefull in the form you designed it, is a bit misleading in terms and not what I had expected/hoped for. Its more a „fighting from vehice inantry set“ than a transport set. I was hoping for and still hope for a real „transport set“ for Valour corpse, with the infantry sitting on benches in different poses and a rather relaxed attitude. To be clear about this: I am not unsatiesfied with what you designed, I just hope that it doesnt mean the transport infantry for Valour corpse, which many requested, is done with that release… oher than that, I am looking forward to the next month, thanks for the hard work and great value!
The transport walker has benches lining the walls, there will be sitting poses in the transport infantry set. Do not take a single concept sketch as a final design, see how the previous tank evolved from its first sketch. The model will also include a closed and crocodile variant of hull also. If you see the description is shows clearly that the transport infantry is a separate set to the battle walker. We recommend to join discord as that is where communicate with patrons on the development of our models. **EDIT: We have decided we will now make tracked alternatives, but only after the walker kits are finished, hopefully this is a compromise that keeps everyone happy**
Honestly I'm not a fan of the new 6 legged tank design. While the inspiration is pretty clear I think that legs would be very impractical on a vehicle with such low ground clearance. Most modern 3rd millennium main battle tanks can reach speeds of about 50 km/h cross country, I can't really imagine how that would be possibile with short mechanical legs! WWI had some pretty crazy tank designs like the A7V or the MKI but also saw the development of the revolutionary FT-17, a tank that pioneered many ideas that are still beign used today after more than a century. I love your work and I have been supporting your patreon for some months, I just wanted to share some constructive (I hope it is) criticism. I would personally appreciate a tracked or skimmer alternative for the VK vehicles.
The issue with doing tracks is pretty much every variety you could ever want already exists, we wouldn't really be contributing anything to the hobby by making another world war styled tank. We went for legs to try something different rather than something that makes sense. We know it won't be for everyone, but we've done our absolute best to make a walking tank that keeps in the proportions of the tanks they are proxying. They print, paint and play perfectly but also have added a new iconic choice for people to decide on when choosing their armour. While we will be sticking with walking tanks we will not be forcing you to get them, hence why the tank crews are separate, the transport infantry are separate, allowing people the choice will continue this way. All this being said, the battle walker to date has been one of, if not the highest rated model we've had, looking at our cgtrader, instagram and facebook numbers. **EDIT: We have decided we will now make tracked alternatives, but only after the walker kits are finished, hopefully this is a compromise that keeps everyone happy**
Looking awesome! Excited for FG Engineers to get some presupports! :D
Hrm... if the TL Heavy Infantry were to be shrunk down a bit, maybe make the heads proportionally larger, so they were maybe a bit more squat... maybe add some beards... I don't know if other people are into space dwarves, or it's just me...
I'm down for dwarves of any kind!
Please don't make the ankles too weak on the Dark Techno Infantry.
excellent! more dark crusaders!
The imperium is running low on quality man power. Time to bring in the fatties.
There is now a "slim" version in the CG&T link as well as the Derivative folder.
