3D Print - New Previews + New Painting Video

To win most battles, you're going to need troops. At the top of the post you're going to see previews of September's releases. For the Human Empire the Mercenaries bring unique weapons from the lands outside the Empire, including optional monkey companions. In contrast the Dwarf Guilds Warriors form the backbone of their forces and have a variety of weapons and equipment at their disposal to keep the fight going strong.

Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models, and not the final versions of the models.

Speaking of useful equipment, in this week's Paintman Journeying video he explores the idea of lucky brushes while working on an Alien Hive Flamer Beast.

The best $ I spend every month. Thanks OPR team!!!

Daydam

Aaand for the first time ever, I want to print dwarves.

Nikolaus Frier

Gotta get some bear mugs for those dwarves too! (thinking DRG)

Thannak

For rock and stone!

Scott B

Looking awesome as always! But still hoping for the 10/15mm scale minis through a crowdfunding project at some point. 😁

Zach Furrow

Rock and stone! I feel like female dwarves should also have beards though lol

Emma Marx

Awesome! Everything looks great! Glad to have something newish, the dwarves look pretty neat :))

Matthew Riley

The tube "beards" might benefit from a little texture, but otherwise those look really solid. I like the variety in the heads especially

Roeland Vis

Like Matthew Riley... A bit of texture on the tubes might be good, it feels a bit octopus like. Or maybe just let a normal beard come out from under the helmet. Otherwise can't wait for those dwarfs....

BenryPaints

So I have the Votann starter box + Berzerks, which I converted into Among Us dwarves. But I want these ones so much more. You guys really nailed the aesthetic.

Brandon Underwood

If y’all made a couple of empire robots of some sort, this guys would make decent Cygnar proxies.

Alex Canfield

I love the work like always, guys! Excited to print some space dwarves. Definitely second the suggestion of adding texture or greebles to the beard tubes (although painting them glowing like an energy conduit could be fun too if they’re smooth). Y’all rock!

The Dour Kin

I love the range of heads for the dwarves.

Patrick Eisel

Sorry but i think i will pause the patreon for a while as the outlook for the space dwarfs is not as expected compared to other releases. The look is too muh generic fantasy dwarfs with energy weapons, way too childish from propotions and faces. Not individually enough to start a army with.

Adam

Agreed - not happy with the direction the models are taking. Was hoping for more classic fantasy to start my collection. Same with the results of the Human Empire.

sully

there are plenty of classic fantasy designs already readily available. why were you looking here for them and what about any previous armies made you think OPR sticks to the standard, played-out look?

Adam

I should've been more specific: the look I'm not happy with is the movement towards steam punk under the fantasy genre. Prior to Ratmen, the armies (Saurian, Mummified Undead, War Demons, etc) all had classical fantasy feel to them. Starting with Ratmen and continuing with the Humans, there have been a large number of powder weapons and mechanized vehicles/implements included as part of the armies. For me this doesn't feel right in a world with lots of medieval tech. It looks like this will continue with the dwarfs. As a consumer, and being pretty new to OPR (although having subscribed for 6months or so) I would've liked a one-stop-shop that matched my tastes. But as you pointed out, I should be able to find what I'm looking for elsewhere.

sully

These dwarves are for GDF. For Dwarf Guilds. not Dwarves. Either way maybe AOF isn't a world with lots of medieval tech like you thought? you seem to be completely ignoring Duchies, one of the *first* armies, if not *the* first, which is heavily steam/clockpunk. Or the dwarfs that live in the *sky*? and have *aircraft*? Human Empire already had like all of these units anyways. This was obviously how it was going to turn out.

Karsten Krahe

The Dwarves are the sci-fi release, they are the OPR version of Leagues of Votann. They are NOT the fantasy release.

Lester Johnson

I generally like the feel of these dwarves. I do think the armor could use some additional detailing to push the sci-fi feel. Also from what we can see of the backpacks, they feel kind of standardish. Obviously that's assuming a lot since there is limited vision on them(and likely still in a very early stage, precisely because they aren't being shown off). But more distinct utilitarian purposes might help. One with coms, one with an arm or drill or something might be a fun detail, but it would have to somehow fit into the rolls within the rules, so maybe a pipe dream. Lastly many of the faces are far to clean and youthful looking for grim dark. I assume that a more weathered look will come with further work. But dwarves, especially, should be rugged and weathered.
