OPR Forums are Closing Soon, New Discord Forums Opening

Due to declining activity, we have decided to stop supporting the OPR Forums and open new forum channels on the OPR Community Discord. You have until September 15th to save any posts on the forums that you would like and then the forums will be closed.

Because the forums are home to several valuable resources, such as the fan translations and the community game finder, we will be making new forums on Discord for this content to live and all of the fan translations that were available will be archived there. If you are the lead of one of these projects and would like to continue working on it, please contact the @moderators on Discord.

3D Print - New Previews, New Painting Video

At the top of post you'll see some early previews of the models we are working on for September! The Human Empire Beamer Wagon provides magical protection for the troops around it and fires precision destruction at tough targets.

The Dwarf Guilds the Campion has access to an arsenal of both melee and ranged weapons, and the Thunder Support squad brings heavy armor and big guns to the battle.

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

Also, this week Paintman Journeying paints the Human Empire Bounty Hunter and their dog companion to look like himself and his own pet pooch.

You can watch the video on his channel here: https://youtu.be/hMKTyPXmIHY

That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

Congrats on 18,000+ patrons, and thank you for the 50% discount on MyMiniFactory.

So excited for these dwarves.

40k players: “I don’t recognize that gun.” Deeprock players: “Now to decide what to paint it…”

Jeremy Bernhardt

Honestly, out of all the space dwarf releases over the past year and half, these are some of the least exciting to me. Maybe the army will grow on my in future releases like others have.

Lucas Bittencourt

I'm SO excited for the Dwarf Guilds. I've been literally counting the days since they were announced as a September release. They are looking AMAZING!

So hype for space dwarves

Explorer

Love that boomer wagon! It is like a little diorama in itself.

Nathan Gerardy

I like these Dwarves. Can't wait for more.

Jacob

I’m also finding the recent dwarves underwhelming but remaining hopeful that I will like some of the other stuff

Lester Johnson

The dwarves are improving, but not sure how I feel about the helmet that looks like a welding mask.

Ferc Polo

ROCK. AND. STONE.

Ragathiel

Sure you can! You just won't see anything except the inside of the side of your helmet

Kyle Bentley

I think the mortar with the external armature to show degrees is a little strange, since the user can't see the arrow on it. It seems like the user could just lift the thing to the proper angle himself, instead of relying on a fiddly mechanism to do it for him. I think it would look less bulky and awkward. Other than that, I'm liking the variety of weapons a lot.

Fernando Lima

Not sure about the armor and specially about the helmets.. a little too “low poly” for my taste. I was expecting something more “advanced” and ornamented since dwarves are master artisans in their crafts. These seem kinda meh..

Jayce Bowdal

I really like these models so far, I think having some blank spaces allows for some free hand painting but also simplifies getting the miniature painting process. I also want to add that the hard edges on the weapons and armour will make for some great weathering with the use of sponges to bring it together for a grimdark theme.

Jayce Bowdal

"SO WHAT IF I LIKE REALLY BIG GUNS!!!"

Nicolas Desjardins

It's funny to me that most people that don't play deeprock just don't understand the dwarves aesthetic. I really like 'em personally!

sully

'people who have never seen this niche thing don't understand its influence on thing in a completely different niche' wow

Ferc Polo

I wish Squats looked far more like their "Space Bikers" version from the 90s...The new Squat aesthetic just doesn't do it for me. I really love your heroes here, they have that Gromril look, lots of runes and sharp facial features on helmets.

Nathan Gerardy

Kyoushuneko "Space Dwarf" on MMF sounds like what you described.

Ferc Polo

Indeed! Great call. And I’m currently a tribe member and have purchased the collections. I just crave more! :)

Ferc Polo

I have an obsession with squats

Daniel Jay

Don't need to when you only need to shoot in one direction
