October: My Favourite Tabletop Miniature Creators, Releases, and STL's

[@Old_Wizard_Minis]

Artisan Guild's supports come off so clean. It is so satisfying, to pull a model out 99.9% clean. Virtually no clean up. I was so impressed.

[@tam653m]

You are totally right about MMF! So glad it's not just me. Loading a page either takes forever, or it fails completely..

[@GrayScalpMiniatures]

Yeah I’m glad to see it’s not just me. I’ve tested it on different devices so was pretty confident it wasn’t a me thing, but stranger things have happened 😂

[@babadookTV]

@@GrayScalpMiniatures as a seller on the platform.... its really bad haha, they keep updating it but damn.... they charge me more to sell my models every month but only push the big big creators! I wish a competitor would take over haha

Today it's almost not working at all.

[@markbradfield7916]

Thank you for taking the time to do this - so nice to have all this in the one place.

[@TheCatHerder]

Really appreciate the overview videos like this! Also I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to paint "detailed figures" like the AV fantasy release. That level of detail helps make simple techniques like drybrushing and washes really effective. I've found that models with big, smooth areas are actually more challenging, so don't hesitate to give it a go. Worst case you learn something or confirm it's not your cup of tea

I'm a big fan of ArtisanGuild. I'm thinking about doing a warband using their beastmen and incorporating the Bestarium release from last month or the month before to add the folk-horror vibe with human cultists and the huge Goat demon/god as the centerpiece of the army for a definite Slaanesh/fertility god twist.

[@GrayScalpMiniatures]

Oh I like that idea! Hope it goes well.

[@thedourkin]

I’m glad to hear someone else comment on MMF issues, it’s close to being unusable most of the time.

[@warrencann3824]

Check out the Longsnouts Kickstarter for Orcs. Brilliant stuff.

[@SwampySi]

Love these videos, but would love more creators to be FDM friendly.

[@suitsandsteaks]

Happy to hear it's not just me. I'm normally a big MMF defender and supporter. However, yes... the old/new library system, the new storefront design, and site-surfing on my phone has been... lacking, as of late. I've even had trouble adding pledges from FronTiers campaigns to my cart for purchase. Whatever is currently handicapping their site, I trust and hope it gets worked out soon.

[@genedean29]

You are going to hate your first 1/2. Especially if there are hills. And then you'll sign up for the next one within a month or two after. And sending you good running vibes! No cramps, just personal records!

[@GrayScalpMiniatures]

Haha thanks. I did one last year as well so at least this time I knew I could physically do it.

[@EyeSeven7]

I think you mean Squiganids!

[@tonypridham1253]

Add me as well to your list of frustrated MMF users. Since the recent update the site is definitely slower and harder to load, much preferred the old look. Keep the videos coming, love the stl files videos. cheers,

[@flagoon]

Each month I'm getting max 2 releases, and then cancel. I don't want my pile of shame to grow too much. This month I choose Cast'n'Play because they had amazing release this month, and I'm still not convinced about OPR Human Defence Force. It's on the good side of OPR design (they are hit or miss IMO), but another army... not sure if it's not too much.

[@richardrussell7082]

I've never had page load fails with MMF but it's always been very sluggish for me 🤷‍♂ I've recently noticed more mentions of Bushido in YT videos, maybe it's having a resurgence? That would potentially explain the demand for minis like the Jade Empire ones.

[@CarlBurgess-u5f]

MMF yep your not he only one its getting worse not better and the new layout and search WFT are they thinking Love the reviews as im always looking for more minis and you save me a lot of time searching tribes and patron

[@GrayScalpMiniatures]

Glad the videos are helpful and that it’s not just me having MMF issues.

[@durgum]

Here to add to add to the MMF frustration. They are charging on both sides of the transaction and their infrastructure lacks at its best and Its is typically unusable for the first day or two of a new month.

[@yagsipcc287]

I am a huge DakkaDakka fan they are great always but out top quality minis. Also the Space Knights Kit will be Prime scale. They have put out several Space Knight stuff before all were set minis but still great, But I am glad for the kit so I can change heads and pads.

[@Darker1208]

Dakka Dakka is always one I just avoid. Yeah... their stuff looks good but the Dakka Dakka community has always been somewhere between "really toxic" and "causes cancer". I've just never been inclined to give them a chance because of the dregs all of that that from

[@yagsipcc287]

@@Darker1208 Huh? I honestly havent a clue what you are talking about are you mixing up the Dakka Dakka online fourms with DakkaDakka Miniatures? Two totally different things not at all related. I have been subbed to DakkaDakka a couple months after they launched their pateron stuff before that they had a webstore (still do)

[@Darker1208]

@@yagsipcc287 oh. that's cool. i thought they were owned by the same people.

[@yagsipcc287]

@@Darker1208 Oh no not to my knowlage at least. DakkaDakka miniatures are all pretty young as well 20-30 years old looking seen some of their heads in a youtube video before. I like them great minis always looking for feedback from their backers on Kickstarter to their monthly supporters, often times also take requests to add something here and there to projects :-)

[@Kingmaster64]

some of these models look too detailed for painting

[@danman1012]

Dude says "well sculpted" like 40 times and its all 3d modeled

[@TheCatHerder]

Not sure what other term you can use for 3D models though, it's called 3d sculpting. Would sound even sillier to say the models are modeled well 40 times
