Hey y'all, we just launched our first Kickstarter campaign for 3D printable tabletop terrain: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krakenindustries/3rd-army-terrain-necrossia-3d-printable-terrain?ref=user_menu






Some more photos:



Hope you like it, hoping to drum up support so we can continue working on this and other projects!

Updated with pledge infographic. So far we've unlocked 2 stretch goals and 1 social stretch goal, and are about 50% of the way to unlocking another stretch goal, check it out!

That's pretty cool.

If I were a Necron player...

Thanks schoon. Personally, I don't think being a Necron player should be a limitation here, whatever your army may be could simply be invading the Necron planet to raid it for its xenotech and lost treasures!

We've partnered with OnTableTop to release another free model! Check out their weekender here:



Coverage on the kickstarter campaign begins at 57:30.

You can learn more about the free model here, including a link to the Weekender Page where you will find a link to the free model in the description: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krakenindustries/3rd-army-terrain-necrossia-3d-printable-terrain/posts/2757431

We're heading into the final hours of the campaign, don't miss out!

We have launched late pledges for this terrain, just in time for the impending release of 9th edition 40k and upcoming Necron refresh! You can get the late pledges here:

We are getting ready to release the first set of stretch goal files later this week, which have evolved considerably since the campaign ended and is returning a huge amount of value to backers compared to what they thought they were getting, you can learn more about it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krakenindustries/3rd-army-terrain-necrossia-3d-printable-terrain/posts/2845565

Get the late pledges while they are cheap! The prices will be increasing in the near future!

Just downloaded the file. Unfortunately I've run out of filament....till Friday. Just started doing 3D printing in the last couple weeks. I'll print it and show pictures here when done.

I'm not a Necron player.......Yet

Edit: a couple things I just noticed
1. Was it intentional to have the On the Table Top logo as the tops of the freebie
2. Kickstarter says delivery March 2020. If you invented a time machine I'm sure there's more lucrative ways of using it than fulfilling a kickstarter .

Looking forward to seeing some photos! And yeah, the freebie was released in partnership with OTT, they gave me coverage so as a thank you I incorporated the logo into the design.

Not sure I understand the quip about the time machine though, the files released in February, but it took 2 months for me to set up late pledges.

That’s just me not realizing that this was for late pledges. I went to the Kickstarter page and saw that the files would be released in March (which is over) and thought it was still live . Hence the time machine quote. Since it’s late pledges and already delivered you don’t need to go back in time.

I need more caffeine.

Haha, it happens, no harm no foul

Well wait no longer. Actual print only took 10 hours and 40 minutes. The print times are a mystery to me as the program is set with my Ender 3 as the printer and the times usually run pretty close. Although when I’m really checking Times it’s on smaller parts so a 40 minute variance on a 11 hour piece might be the same as a 5 minute on an hour. I’m not doing the math, Massive headache right now.


The tomb pillar is great. Awesome design. No problems with the design at all. The smaller side towers are roughly 3” tall and 2” in diameter at the base of those four towers. The overall width is just under 5 1/2” by 5 1/2” with the center tower being roughly 7 1/4” tall. I had a small lift on one corner at the base of the print. It was completely my fault, my print bed wasn’t level so that is no fault of the design. Being still new at printing I’m learning the ropes and making a larger print requires slightly more attention to detail than doing smaller ones. All the symbols came out great in the design. I printed this with no supports and with a 10% infill at draft quality. Not sure if the striations will show after priming, I’ll see later today. Painted Zombicide model for scale reference.

Next steps with this print. Well I don’t play Necrons, but this would be a great piece for them. I do however have a large Ghar force for Beyond the Gates of Antares, and it could be an style they could incorporate . Also I don’t have any battery operated tea light candles, but I think they could be fit inside each of the four smaller towers at their bases and drill down the center holes on each pillar to have light flashes come up out of them. Might also light up the center pillar as well. I’ll have to think about that project later as I don’t have the lights.

To me this is a great piece and the Late backer pledge being open is a tremendous deal if your a Necron (Or Ghar) player.

Hmm, considering that I just bought a 3D printer and now with new Necrons on the way and a new edition, maybe I should get in on this...

Well just in case, I started a thread about 3D printers over in P&M. It’s for all of us learning about them and trying to build the community.

Primed version of the freebie print.


The cocoon markers by the base are 30mm for scale.

I see you put up the Shrine as a free download on Thingiverse (back in February). Just Downloaded it, wil be a bit before i can put it into my print cue.

https://www.thingiverse.com/protokraken/designs Link for those interested.

200mm x134mm x 152mm is a nice sized piece. (8" x 5.5" x 6" for us imperial measurers)

With the new Necrons coming out I thought I'd bump this.
