Preview for the Deco-Bot Infantry builder
Quick little preview to show off the Robot mercenaries coming later this month in Part 2 (~20th).
They are a new experimental kit, modular with many part choices, what are your thoughts on them? how will you use them? should we make more (non range specific) experimental kits? :)
All best,
TMC

I would love to see more experimental sets. I also suggest expansing such concepts as mini-armies, with a modular hero and a modular vehicle. I would take the Elite Transport Vehicle for the Feudal Guard as an example: this one may be made either as a transport vehicle, a proxy tank or a missile launcher. Whenever such a mini-army concept would meet success, you may choose to expand it in future releases!
this 100%,
Subbed just for these bad boys, would it be possible to request a blank head without the eyes, if these are multishell i can sort that out my self
Not pictured. But there us also a cyclops eye head and head with no eyes :)
Droid army for WH40k? Or custom separatists troops from star wars? Skitarii? There are lots of ideas.
Deco bot infantry and walker tanks? Hmmmmm....
these remind me immediately of miniatures for Infinity! I would love to see the squid game models expanded on as well as the rad-hazard troopers from last month too my request would be that for ones that seem to have struck a good vibe with patrons have some further development if possible
Great stuff. Those will be helpful for anyone struggling to paint up platoons worth of infantry, as they are so well adapted for speedpainting techniques, and with a headswap could fit for (living) humanoid troops too. I´ll use them for my mechanicum army.
I've loved all the experimental kits that have been made. I'm all in favor of letting you guys be creative and making cool things
Love these. I'm getting more into miniature agnostic games like stargrave and 5 parsecs, these would be great for both, and also for kitbashing. More random ideas please!
From a non-gamer modelling perspective I like those alot. The builders approach makes it alot easier to adapt the poses to my modelling needs (trying to tell a story) and the nonspecific approach on this set gives me alot of possibilities to use them (guarding, exploring, repairing, …). What I would like to see are more arms/hands options, that are not holding a weapon. And by that I dont mean the same arm hand with the weapon removed. There is a destinct difference in both arms and hands between holding a weapon, holding something heavy and relaxing. And (understandibly from the gaming view) most builders just do the weapons poses….
Agree with more arm poses, love to see for all of the kits for diorama building and customizing. Especially for those, me, who have no skill with 3d modeling.
I see guardsmen in void hardened armor. Just need the propper packs for that. Perhaps a head with a glass like faceplate? Loving your one off kits so far. Some of my favorites.
Love them. I'd like a little more variety in heads, maybe, but I'll definitely print a couple.
They could be robots, but they could be troopers in space suits. I think they'd make great stormtroopers for an Inquisition force. There's great bits in there too for use in conversions.
Yeah I was thinking "faceless" special forces/black ops troops in the service of an Inquisitor wearing an advanced type of carapace armour.
Guys! This is so cool! It feels like you COULD use it for 40K, but these could definitely fit in a sci-fi game like Starfinder or something
This may be one of the most amazing things ever! I would LOVE a full release of everything for this force.
any prosthesis like that for korps?
Do you do/like digital kitbashing? Cuz this sounds like a great idea! Blender is a good program for that
Fantastic creative palate cleaners. These guys will be fun in a campaign to throw in as a local PDF unit attached to my guard force. Gives me an excuse to use some deco terrain I have in the print queue. If you ever decide to expand on this one, a full art-deco/dieselpunk army would be a unique style and fun to paint.
These are perfect for a homebrew D&D faction I needed minis for. I’m all for y’all doing some experimental kits. I think y’all have earned my trust on whatever you want to make at this point.
I like it, everyone and the mother is copying GW, it's nice to see something unique!
i love it, i want more robots like those !!!
i really like them, I also would like to see a tau proxy army
Great for off necromunda gangs and miniature agnostic skirmish games
I love small kits with lots of weapon options.
These are actually the models I was most excited for from this month's preview. I really liked the misc hazmat troops you did too, I'd love to see more experimental kits.
These look fantastic!
I would actually like to see more Tau-like weapons on these. I would totally love to make these into a Pathfinder Proxy Kill Team!
One silly observation…why would robots need bedrolls on their backpacks? Just sayin’… 😜 Otherwise, I LOVE these!
These are a great replacement for some of the Privateer Press models for the Convergence of Cyriss! I've been waiting for a chance to add more minis and this will help a LOT
Be fun for stargrave
I love these! Please make more! I can think of several uses for these guys. Im new to this but this seems like it may be a good proxy for something like Pau Tathfinders in Till Keam ;). Or even Worge Forld.
Very excited for these!
These will make fantastic facility guards for a cyberpunk campaign I am building!!! Awesome!
If you gave them different weapons these would make for a killer start to a 1950's Scifi themed Necron army.
YES
I'm not sure how I'm going to use them yet but they look amazing!
Definitely more experimental kits, and army builder kits!
Modular and intercompatible kits like this are exactly why i got a 3D printer. they let you kitbash away some seriously awesome and unique armies and characters, and more variety is always welcome!
Seperate weapons and hands would be great as well, as the more unique bits i can bash into other kits the better
I love these and would love a whole admech army based around them!!!!! I've had this vision of a retro scifi army for a while but lack the atritstic aptitude to pull it off.
I think non specific range models are great! Wonderfully done
These are very cool, my first thought would be to use them for a small xenos army that uses guard rules in games.
If it wouldn't be too difficult to add, I would also appreciate separate weapons with only hands sculpted onto them, so that I could use the weapons for kitbashing.
1. I don't like the specific ones, I don't see any use, too much conversion. edit - ok i like them:) Like a box of great bolt action infantry 2. I really like the idea of "Infantry builder", genially that both hands are printed with the weapon (Valour Korps - Infantry Builder had it fucked up and VK - Engineers was a gamechanger) 3. I'd love to see base kits (more dead 40K Bretonnians - militians! - I have a great diorama outline for them) or the fallen VK - also a great addition to bases and terrains Maybe I'll make one 40k cyber assassin?
Really nice! IG proxy for a Kill Team. And yes, more experimental kits, please.
Could be used for fear agent rpg
Slightly more retro-futuristic (if that makes sense) weapons and they could be very fun for a one shot tabletop game.
I will use these as necron proxies. I already have some pewter models from a game call retro raygun and these bois will make a fine addition to my collection! https://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=2_31
With the right back pack they could be Guard in space suits, fighting on an outer hull of void ship over run by some bugs.... it can work. still say if you need a part time line do Penal Legion, its a full army, humans and ab-humans,
I don’t have a use for them but I really like this design and will find a use for them. I think the occasionally experimental thing alongside the more range specific stuff is a great way to mix things up and also let your sculptors have some fun
Hmmm, either alternate Stortroopers for my proxy Imperial Army, or maybe a gang of rouge men of iron in Necromunda :)
Going to use them as VR troopers to teach new games.
that's a great idea!
Hmm. I like how modular they look and how many options there are. I'm not sure this would fit in the flavor of any of my current armies, but I could easily see them as part of an art-deco type army or possibly something more modern as well. In any case, well done with these.
These are great!
Perfect for 5 Parsecs from Home.
