Grimdark previewed their may stuff, they're calling it maychanicum. So far looks like some mechanicum parts for the crawler section of their big excavator model. The really cool stuff is the drones, which apparently the idea is you can put a couple on a 60mm base and use as a count as acastus porphyrion. Really cool idea.

I've really got to bust out the 3D printer and do up some of those models, they look great!

There's a great conversion kit for warhounds that's going to get updated soon.

Out of interest where do Grimdark show their preview? I can't seem to find it on their website. Or is it a subscribers-only thing?

Usually first on their discord channel, then it trickles out to like facebook and so on.

New may grimdark is out.

Nice! Not yet fully sold on those big guns on the flyers, but that’s just me.

If you think of them as laser, plasma or other energy weapons then it works. Size is only really an issue if you're thinking of them as kenetic weapons with a huge explosive force way out of scale with the size of the model.


Also I think they've got some renders missing as the updates list that there's some additional parts for their huge land crawler that they released last month - with no confirmation on if its just the upgrade parts or if the crawler is included as well or anything.

Just upgrade parts it would seem.

Maybe so, personally I would have done the big gun underneath the aircraft, with the smaller gun(s) on top of the carapace. Basically a switch around of the guns.

His hands are a bit tied because the two drones on one base count as one of these:


So the the weapon height matters in game, esp cuz if one of the two drone's gun is blocked the firepower drops by half.

Thought these might come in handy as terrain bits...

Is this one big enough to hold shipping crates?

It's a bit smaller. It should be able to hold the crates and barrels from the Novan Logistics set. See it more as a small truck rather than a shipping container carrying vehicle.

Didn't see anybody mention this-

New freebie! Who needs some workers to climb their ladders or giant robots?

STL's of these four workers available here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/smallscale-ladder-climbers




Note that the ladder in the render is not included in this set and is available through Vanguard Miniatures: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/6mm-raised-industrial-walkways-set-1-stl-download/

Another freebie!

Each shrine is about 10mm tall. Making it perfect for Titanicus scaled terrain and what not.

You gonna need to make priests now too!

Lovely work Malika on those!

My first thought is you can display them as both climbing and doing gangnam style

Anyone know what's up with Grimdark Terrain this month? Their website and FB haven't been properly updated in ages and they are still only showing the July Crane on their site - nothing for August?

There are still a few days of August left. Rudolf will post something if he fails to meet the deadline.

He was going to post a preview last night but that never happened, he indicated aug should be done/out by tuesday. He's a new father so I believe that explains the delays and lack of updates/communication.

I think it's fair to say some subscribers don't love being charged the first of the month only to hear very little to nothing for 3-4 weeks, the mechanicum release is still missing a building/bunch of parts for said mystery building, so I think there's some substantive concern that release dates have been lagging more and more, it used to be the most it was delayed was a handful of days. I'd be ok with him doing every other month or half months or something but it's a bit frustrating. Hard to get hyped for something with little to no preview. Great designs though.

Yeah it sounds like he should do a pause month and let himself catch up. Just pause payments for current customers, and charge new ones the regular amount and give them the previous month's release. So basically just one month being rolled over two months.

Once you're sculpting and releasing on the very last days of the month with nothing up front you REALLY need to pause like that otherwise its really going to harm growth. By this time most people paying attention are getting excited for next month's models and are dropping Patreons/Tribes.

Plus as they aren't on Patreon its even easier for them to lose customers who never remember to check their website out again. Heck I only just remember each month to check out.

He's very industrious so I'm sure with enough coffee we'll see the august release before the month's out

Aug grimdark is pretty dope, AT scale modular ships and a dock/quay.

Also noticed deepcut studio's got this mat, might work well together for a nautical theme. Very tempted.
