We're running a STL Kickstarter, and it's extremely boring.

It includes such amazing things as "Grimdark Washing Machine", "Grimdark Comfy Sofa", and "Grimdark Pet Dog".
Try not to fall asleep while pledging.



Check out the KS page for all four STL sets.

Grimdark Gribbleys! Love it

Love the grimdark oven range and refrigerator.

That's pretty humorous right there...

Nicely played.

Glorious!

I think the only thing I'd also love to see would be a few more bits office/barracks/dorm style.

Whilst these pieces would shine in a high end apartment or management's office/executive bathroom, I think it'd be nice to be able to contrast this with a few ranks of scribes' stiff uncomfortable data-pews for an Overseer to oversee from their luxurious office.

No need for separate desks when any latrine trips are prescheduled ahead of time by row.

So perhaps something like a church pew, seating three abreast. First station is reading information coming in on a datascreen, second station is transcribing it to a vellum scroll for long term storage and the third station is auditing what the second has written on a second copy being created via autoquill.

You know, classic government data entry stuff.

Then a roman latrine style loo sitting three abreast for when those guys get to go on break, and perhaps a triple bunk to go in their cell when they go back to rest.
Could probably carry on the set of things for three poor scribes, with a wardrobe/lockers for three (perhaps with a little shrine and kneeler cushion built into it since it's their one bit of personal space), showers, soup/recaff dispensers etc.

Just when a 40K gamer may have started thinking stls had delivered all the things they didn't know they needed.

Fantastic stuff!

Some bunks would definitely be a worthy addition.

A shower cubicle would also be handy.

They've got nothing on the grimdark commode.

Thanks for all the thumbs up guys.

And thanks for the extra ideas - I want to add at least one new sculpt every day for the rest of the campaign, so some of the ideas here are perfect. 😊

Campaign Update: Posh Chair!

Hi Backers & Watchers,

Today's Update adds a Grimdark Posh Chair to the STL set. Very smart.

Have you got any Grimdark scenery ideas that you'd like to see added to the Campaign?

Suggest away!

Ben @ TMG

I do wish campaigns like this would offer printed models. Is there a good third party that can handle printing something like this that campaigns could partner with?

I hear you but it adds a whole level of complexity, printing and shipping. They'd need one for each major market, might be better to find a place near you that can do the work.

Hrm. I like the barracks idea, bunk beds, foot lockers, and the like. Gun racks, helmets and other storage?

Shower stalls, with skull shaped shower heads of course.

Some small family/office shrines of saints and perhaps a cyber lich on a gilded throne?

A big 50s style TV with a tiny round screen the whole family can crowd around to watch black and white propaganda shows? A big wall screen for Big Brother to look down on everyone?

Ruined variants of some of the furniture? Broken and shattered by war?

Manikins for a store modelling this millennium's hottest fashions?

Market stalls and cashier stands. Worker office cubicles. Water coolers. Conference table with chairs. Projector and/or television on wheeled cart. Integrated school chairs with desks.

I'm currently building an Necromunda ashwaste outpost so in need of bunkbeds, air traffic control terminals, mess tables + benchs, lockers, showers, etc

Specifically one that could be painted blue, for those remedial orbital strategy students.

Perhaps also a pneumatic tube system for sending scrolls off to management (or accounts payable) for blessing before being sent out.
Big station-style flicky sign which shows which stops transports will be making, and whether they are cancelled, delayed or on time.

I have hundreds of dollars of STL files from Patreons and the Mantic Vault. Tried to get some arms and heads printed and all the quotes I got back were very overpriced.

There's a lot of people who want to offer themselves as 3d printing services but also want you to pay for their printer on your first order it seems.

Until I can get things printed locally and professionally like I can with 2d documents, I think 3d printing will remain elusive/hobbyist.

Campaign Update : Pet Grimcat!

Hi Backers and Watchers!

We're well on our way now, thanks so much to everyone who's already contributed to the Campaign.

Today's extra STL file is a Pet GrimCat. Or a Grim PetCat. Or a Cat GrimPet. Not sure about that, you decide. Maybe just call him Cyberfloof.
"Meow/Beep"


We'll continue to add new sculpts to the Kickstarter every day until the Campaign ends, so keep those ideas coming - we've had loads of fantastic suggestions and requests via various avenues, and we'll definitely be drawing on those as we move forwards.

For now, thanks for your support and interest.

Ben @ TMG

For the record a lot of those extra ideas have come from here on Dakka - expect to see them cropping up regularly!

We often have for previous campaigns, and will do again in the future - sorry we don't have time for doing prints-to-order on this particular Kickstarter, but we may well start peppering our webstore with various printed sets as we roll along with the year.

No problem. I have a bunch of terrain from you coming soon with my Epic Warpath stuff

That's awesome - FYI I also sculpted 95% of the EWP vehicles.
I'm looking forwards to painting some up myself!

Campaign Update: Austere Bunk Bed!

Hi Backers and Watchers,

Today's Campaign Update adds an austere bunk bed to the Grimdark scenery set:



Unlike the posh beds in the scenery set at the moment, these beds are far more depressing, as befits their intended use by low level scribes, troops, and depressed Grimdark civilians.

Thanks for your support and interest so far everyone, keep those suggestions coming!

Ben @ TMG

Fantastic!

Although if they could be tweaked slightly so that they could be stacked, even better...

I'll make sure that can happen in a future campaign update.

This is hilarious and awesome.

Nice. I've been waiting for Epic-scale sci-fi to come back for some time. I backed your Epic-scale frame a while back and still have a stack of them.
