[Announcement] 40k Status Update

Hello all! Just keeping you up to date on the phony DMCA status.

Patreon has acknowledged our counter-notice and has notified the original sender. If Patreon does not hear back from the original sender in 10 business days regarding an open lawsuit (which only the real GW could do) we get to post all our 40k content again!

Since it was pretty clearly not GW who initiated the takedow...

[New Files!] The Samurai Darth Vader helmet has been added to the January projects!

When I first saw this in the Fortnite trailer I knew we had to make it. We're planning on going to Star Wars Celebration in Japan this year and this is the perfect kit to take along for it! Luckily we already had an excellent RotS Vader helmet to build off of so this just took some slight modifications and we were good to go!

The helmet features:

[Announcement] We're fighting the takedown

That's a bit of a loaded title and the situation is still unfolding so let me break it down for you all. When we were hit with the DMCA for the 40k collection we were granted a copy of the takedown request. It was pretty clear it was NOT from Games Workshop and was instead from some unknown and unrelated individual.

There were a few red flags including: coming from a gmail account that mi...

[Announcement] The 40k Collection will be removed.

Hi everyone, I have a bit of bad news to share this morning. Patreon has complied with a DMCA takedown request for all the 40k content we have made. We have 48 hours to comply and scrub all 40k content from our Patreon if we want to stay on the platform.

There's a lot to do so it will take us some time to comply but within 48 hours neither monthly or annual members will be able t...

[New Files!] The Phase 2 ARC Trooper helmet joins the Dec. Specialist rewards!

The latest helmet on the remaster list is the Phase 2 ARC Trooper! This one needed simplified a bit and a few things touched up/revisited. It was the first helmet I incorporated magnets into years ago but as you know I've moved away from magnets as an assembly method since then. This new version is much simpler, assembles better, and includes all the niceties of our modern helmets!

[File Update] Primaris Space Marine got a small update, download V4 now!

Still in the October Specialist rewards folder, V4 is now live.

In-line with our goal of making this set more generic and not just for Ultramarines we've added shoulder filagree variants without the Omega logo.

I would like to add some more symbols for different legions later down the line but this should help for the short term!
