10k Free Minis for 10k Patrons!

Hi everyone,

I am absolutely speechless.

When I first started this Patreon back in 2017, having 100 subscribers seemed completely out of reach. Now here we are, 5 years later, and we've managed to hit 10.000 subscribers. This is absolutely incredible. :D

I'd love to personally thank every single one of you, and as a special surprise, we've come up with a fun little gift for you: 10.000 free models at 2mm scale!

Grab the models for free by CLICKING HERE!

Edit: The 10.000 free minis are just a joke. Whilst we understand that some people would have liked a special reward, we're already filled with delays making daemons, and don't have time to make a special model on top of that. In any case, it's all in good fun. Don't let 10k get to your head is the message. :)

By reaching 10.000 patrons, we've unlocked new discounts for October 2022:

Our next stretch goal and special discount codes will be provided once we hit 10.500 patrons, let's see how far we can take this!

Happy wargaming!

- Gaetano

Note: It's normal that patron numbers fluctuate up and down during the month, but don't worry, even if we dip below 10.000 patrons at some point, the discount codes will stay!

I am just hoping at some number we will get the holiday models rereleased. The DV pumpkin monster is the best and I want to see more of it!

Elsimian · August 24, 2022

So at 20k maybe some of those eggs will hatch? 2mm Chicken Beserker faction? Congratulations on 10k!

Nathan Gerardy · August 23, 2022

Congrats! I think we've all been pushing for you in comments. Seeing lots of sponsored vids too. Luke's vid just recently was a great showing of those demons. Great work! I really like the new alien grass bases also >.<

Ryan Edwards · August 23, 2022

Put tiny little smiley faces on each of the bumps and you've got a real winner (and 10,000 more minis to boot)

B
Brad Betters · August 23, 2022

6AM Eastern the next day and still too much volume to download the free files.

D
Dirk Bargmann · August 23, 2022

I need them now for my Blob-army!

M
Maarten Spikker · August 23, 2022

I thought it was funny, genuinely considering printing a few!

K
Kyote · August 23, 2022

Looks like your prank crippled your Google Drive, haha! I can't download the Crippled God Foundry model.

N
Nick Adegite · August 23, 2022

Since we crushed the expectations for patrons, do you think we could do 80% off instead of the 2nd 70%. Make it a one time use coupon for existing patrons. Kinda gives a little more umph

P
Pat McPherson · August 23, 2022

I dont get it

C
Cambell Baxter · August 23, 2022

I'm semi considering printing it to see if it helps with soundproofing 😂

R
Renier Banninga · August 23, 2022

Yea too much traffic. Wont allow to download the files.

W
Will Wittmann · August 23, 2022

Anyone else having problems downloading? I got a message that the volume has been so high that i have to try later.

Eric Edwards · August 23, 2022

Yep

J
James Champagne · August 22, 2022

Painting guide, please. Intending to do them up as Pyrrhic/Tarantine phalanxes with supporting hoplites against Roman legions (velites, hastati, principes, triarii) and allied southern Italic tribes. Any suggestions?

M
McWetty · August 22, 2022

Was going to make my own IRL rocket league stadium with those egg things...

Just make a copy to your drive, and download that copy.

K
Krozber · August 22, 2022

Aw, I skimmed the post, and thought there was going to be an extra model. Maybe consider actually doing something for 20k. 😉

O
One Page Rules · August 22, 2022

There are 10.000 extra models. :)

Z

B
Brett Bachman · August 22, 2022

Yep, I was thinking some sort of terrain.

A
Andrew · August 22, 2022

Any rules for these? :)

B

I mean any pokemon people can now have an army of digletts

A
Asteroids Fred · August 22, 2022

You have so many subs now it won't download because you fried the google drive

B
Bartosz Brzeziński · August 22, 2022

It the bases were slightly chamfered and thinner, and little variation was added to nubs height, these would actually make a very nice 'alien' crop fields Edit: And this modifications would be really quick to make too.

B
Ben uWu · August 22, 2022

Its may be a joke but a war of the nubs could be fun, Dont know how I would paint them though

D
Ding Zero · August 22, 2022

To celebrate 15k supporters we'll get 15k millimeters of supports. No models, just supports :)

Frontovik RKKA · August 22, 2022

Actually ran over to my printer and printed the first seven out. Love the humor....and all ready whirling in my brain painting them up, putting in an Altoids tin with some mini dice, paper ruler. I need rules. Congratulations on the 10k, and now I have a completely easy to transport army for anywhere!

N
Nathan Cook · August 22, 2022

Congrats on 10k! Wish I would have come here first before clicking the download link from the email. Waste of bandwidth! ;p

Thomas Surey-Gent · August 22, 2022

Congrats on the 10K! and so soon after 9.5k too, absolutely awesome

Congrats on the Milestone, well deserved, great value in this Patreon. But I'm not going to download 1.3GB of little nobs. :-)

HERETIC

Andrew Hamblin · August 22, 2022

I've played 2mm and 5mm games... I was hoping these guys would at least have bodies and facing. Given the constraints of the scale 2mm guard, battle bros, and bugs would be easy to do. And basic human fantasy units likewise.

B
Barokai Rein · August 22, 2022

Did you use to call your supporters digletts or something because everyone seems to be just confused by what on earth this is.

L
Larry Carter · August 22, 2022

It's hilarious how many people here A) can't take a joke B) are entitled cry babies who think they are owed things. Just because OPR hits a sub milestone doesn't mean they have to do things for you. You pay your sub and you get your minis. Frankly it's amazing that we are given a 70% discount for the milestones so maybe try being thankful for that instead of whining.

J
Joe Mahoney · August 22, 2022

Right!!! You get what you get and you better like it. As a paying customer there is no room for criticism or any sort of expectations set by previous milestones. No. You all better count yourself lucky you have the privilege of spending your money every month on this patreon.

D
David Murphy · August 22, 2022

Just for this, were going to get you another 10,000 subscribers so we can push you into another tax bracket, Then you'll be sorry!

R
Richard Lalonde · August 22, 2022

I don't get it. I guess this is some inside joke.

E
Ellie · August 22, 2022

Congrats on the 10k subs. Keep up the good work and you will hit 20k in no time. I would use the discount code, but I all ready own every thing you have made.

E
Evan Lindsey · August 22, 2022

I was originally thinking that the freebies would be some 10mm scaled minis, this does seem like a let down.

F
Frontovik RKKA · August 22, 2022

More of us!!! Awesome!!!

N
Nick Holt · August 22, 2022

It's not only the great quality of the miniatures, but it's the reliability of the organisation, the broad package of games, and the great communication that you guys offer, which means that this is totally deserved! Well done, and thanks!

S
Sebastian Hurtz · August 22, 2022

Would be a nice gesture to actually drop something useful for the people who support you. Wouldnt break the bank I think

s
sully · August 22, 2022

the team drops enough stuff every month. this patreon is an absurd value.

M
MJD Estorbia · August 22, 2022

I guess it's a joke post, but it does seem poorly conceived. 10,000 subs is a huge milestone, and this might be the (3D-printing-related) Patreon with the most number of subscribers. So to get a bunch of little Digletts/nubs to "celebrate" 10k subscribers is a bit... strange.

M
MJD Estorbia · August 22, 2022

Note: This isn't a knock against the monthly models at all (they've got awesome quality). It's just that, if you consider the notion that most of us are subscribed at the $10 tier, then this Patreon earns $90,000+ a month at the 10K subscriber count. So, yeah, it's weird to mark the milestone with "joke" models, unless there's an actual stretch goal/milestone reward that's yet to be released.

R

Love it, 1.3gb bandwidth down the drain lol! Congrats 🎉
