The post you've all been waiting for - the head post!April 4 will see the release of the Kaliakos Anathema Construct's head and neck, which, I have to say, has been the most awkward thing to make for quite a while. Truthfully, I find making h...

January Preview: Phykonite Vedette
As I understand it, it's already Christmas Day in plenty of countries already, but for me, it's the dying hours of Christmas Eve, and as I write this post, the smells of home-baked mince pies are wafting through to me. Oh, it's all terribly exciting!Naturally, of course, it's another day too, which mean...

December Preview: Nighthawk-Class Interceptor
So, you thought getting a super-colossal robot was your surprise release for December. You were incorrect.This second December preview introduces the first aerial Skjalos vehicle, the Nighthawk-Class Interceptor. Rather than a fast strike vehicle, this is a slower, but agile, vehicle, hovering and gliding between city ...

One last post this month... and with it comes a preview for a collaboration with Diverging Realms! Two titans, one of reconstituted flesh and one of refined steel, battle within the wasted ruins of an ancient civilisation.

November Preview: Legion Hollows
Evening all!A while back, I released a set of infantry, the Legion Hollows, and at the time, whilst I wasn't unhappy with them, I knew they weren't quite exactly what I'd envisioned for them. Sure, they looked vaguely like possessed warriors, but didn't really radiate the malformations of a Dæmon's...

Hey there all! About time I put up a post with images, and today I can introduce the all-new AWM-32A Sakraston 'Avenger' Battle Tank!

October Discount Code and November Plans
Hey there all! It's already been a rather tumultuous month for me, but things are starting to get back to a vague sense of normal now, thankfully! Now begins the month of pumpkins, bedsheet ghosts and unadvisably large quantities of alcohol, and in the spirit of that, here's this month's 15% discount code: ...

October Preview: Octhyax Achylius
Well, something perhaps unexpected today.As it is, I confess, I'm rather struggling to get inspired to make any Skjalos infantry sets this month, as I'd planned, so while I try to muster up enthusiasm I've settled for the old reliable things that I find more relaxing to make - tanks!So, this month, you'...
October Preview: Myadea Thraecii
Hey there all! Welcome back to another October preview, and this time, you may behold, before your very eyes, an all new Covenants of Mars character!Leading the Myadea legions into battle, commanding from the frontlines, the Thraecii are among the most deadly, not to mention versatile, warriors to face.Though in this p...

Hey there all - a couple of surprises for you today! All new, this October, and not in the slightest on the docket for this month's reward plans, are a pair of additions to the Legions of Khurybah and the Covenants of Mars!Perhaps the more unusual of the two are the new Legion Shikari, a unit of five models making ...
October Preview: Stykaria-Reaper Class Assault Construct
Hey there all, I'm back with more news today! This month, I released the standard variant of the Stykaria-Class Assault Construct, and one of the most frequent responses were requests for extra shoulder armour - plus, as I recall, one of the most common requests since I began this Patreon was for missile racks on t...

Thought I'd just give you an almost final little preview of all the stuff you can expect to receive on September 4, with pictures of the finished products!That is, Ochystan Kyporii Seekers (with Phase Carbines and Shotrifles), the Kaia Scout Hybrid (lovingly dubbed by you guys as the Sad Bumper Car) an...
September Preview: Hollow Ones (Finished)
Hey there all, finally got an actually finished render up and, following the feedback you guys provided, they've had some amendments to better communicate their individually warped nature!As I mentioned last time, of course, these 5 will not be the only Hollow Ones sets made, so you'll have a whole load of comp...
September Preview: Kaiha Scout Hybrid
A little while ago, I tested the waters with a new type of vehicle for the Skjalos Guard, the Alyspe and Ukoia Scraptanks. The Scraptanks were going to be a new line of vehicle miniatures, but after some criticism* and a little introspection, I realised that they weren't really what I wanted to make. I had a vision...
