Army Forge Studio - Army Deletion Removal
We're happy to announce that the army deletion after 60min has been removed from Army Forge Studio, so now all the armies you make are permanently stored!
The lists were previously deleted automatically for legal reasons, but now everything has been sorted, and you can get creating straight away. Don't forget that you are agreeing to the T&C of Army Forge Studio when using it, so make sure not to create any armies that use any copyrighted material that belongs to other companies.
If you don't abide by these rules, you will be first warned, and then permanently banned from the system. We take copyright infringement very seriously, so please don't try to skirt around the T&C either, as that will get you instantly banned.
Examples of copyrighted IP's that will get you banned: Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Warmachine, Hordes, Infinity, Malifaux, Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Pokemon, etc.
We understand that some of you would like to create lists that use the names of settings, armies, units, heroes, weapons, locations, and more from these IP's, but that is simply not allowed, and we don't want to have to deal with countless DMCA takedown requests.
Please don't put yourself and our community at risk, thank you. :)
Sometime next week we will then make all of the armies public, so that everyone has access to them. So, go to the Tier 1 Rewards post and get creating!
Age of Fantasy Lore Focus #3
Every week we're highlighting the lore of a few factions for each of our games, and this week we're focusing on Age of Fantasy's Rift Daemons, Beastmen, Duchies of Vinci, and Kingdom of Angels, which are all factions heavily affected by the opening of the Great Rift!
Read about them in this week's Lore Focus on our website.
3D Print - New Concept Art + Sisters Sidekicks
At the top of this post you can see some new concept art for the Human Empire, with the wizardy Battle Mages, an epic Captain on Griffon, the mighty Elites, the prophetic Altar Wagon, and the first artillery with the Cannon.
Then for the Alien Hives we're showing off some of the new re-designed units, with the fiery Flamer Beast, the motherly Spawning Beast, and the completely re-invented Invasion Transport / Artillery.
And finally for our Legendary release, we're back to the fantasy desert kingdom of the Mummified Undead, with the massive and epic Skeleton Titan.
As a special bonus, this week we have updated 10 units of the Blessed Sisters with brand new Sidekicks, completely free of charge. The models have already been added to your MMF library, so you can download them already now!
Since working on our Ratmen army, which features lots of cute little rat buddies, we've fallen in love with the idea of providing some sort of sidekicks for our armies. This was already reflected in the Human Empire, which features lots of different animal companions, and now we've updated the Blessed Sisters with new sidekicks as well.
Over time, we would love to go back to all armies, and add sidekicks and buddies to them, however this is an additional layer of work on top of the already enormous pile of models we create every month, so it's going to take a while before we can update more armies like this. In any case, once it happens, the sidekicks will be added to your units free of charge. :)
Here's the 10 units that have new Sidekicks:
- Battle Tank
- Biker Warriors
- Destroyer Superior
- Flagellants
- Jetpack Superior
- Priestess
- Procession Altar
- Protectors
- Superior
- Warriors
Note that these buddies are completely optional, so if you don't like them or don't want to risk their lives on the battlefield, you don't need to use them.
That's it for this week, happy wargaming!

2023-06-13 14:58:14 +0000 UTCAre the army forge studio armies public yet? :) I'm curious if the public armies will be accessible within Army Forge so creating lists with them will be ultra-simple.

2023-06-06 17:34:25 +0000 UTCHonestly, Games Workshop especially is making it easier with all their hyper specific, two word names. Just don't call things by those specific names and you should be okay.

2023-06-04 17:18:36 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing! I think the lore focus photo might be showing the lizards instead of elves but regardless really appreciate your team and everything they are doing for us!

2023-06-02 03:47:08 +0000 UTCLike these watchers in the dark style buddies so much more than the Cherub types. Thanks!
Nathan Gerardy
2023-06-01 18:14:49 +0000 UTCFound them! Thanks again - maybe I need new glasses...
2023-06-01 12:23:02 +0000 UTCWow! Thanks for your swift reply! I'll search again - they must be there somewhere!
2023-06-01 12:21:13 +0000 UTCWe have updated all of the files from the individual units and the bundles. Please note that the sidekicks are inside the corresponding unit's ZIP file, and not a separate download.
onepagerules
2023-06-01 12:15:46 +0000 UTCHi! I have several of the Blessed Sisters files from purchasing the Army Bundles as well as from my Patreon membership. The Sidekicks don't appear to be in the downloads from the bundled files. Please can you add them to them or open up the individual files on my MMF account so I can get my hands on them? Many thanks!

2023-06-01 11:49:13 +0000 UTCTime to bring all of the Dragon Trappers Lodge armies up to the most current points. Minor drift in some of them due to recent points balancing. I did it before, but being able to save it will be much better.

2023-06-01 11:34:38 +0000 UTCNo worries, it did!
2023-06-01 11:10:46 +0000 UTCThank you for your response. That’s gonna be tricky for most to track, but the most important thing is to not endanger the OPR project. I’ve now renamed all my lists that might be mentioning something that is copyrightable.
2023-06-01 11:10:28 +0000 UTCThat was a bit of an essay, but I hope it helps in any way!
Arkham Jones
2023-06-01 10:38:37 +0000 UTCExplicitly naming units after existing copyrighted terms as an easy start, GW has a LONG list of copyrighted terms for their models which you can often find on their website buried in their legal sections. I'm not an expert on copyright law and I'd recommend you checking the legal definitions online to be doubly sure you aren't treading on any legal toes. It's why you'll also find a lot of proxy models with weird sounding names that resemble what they are proxies for, but cannot be called what kit they are a proxy for, for example. Some terms are so generic they cannot be copyrighted, such as Space Marine (been used in sci-fi for ages), but just err on the side of caution so OPR and yourself don't get in hot water!
Arkham Jones
2023-06-01 10:38:20 +0000 UTCThank you for the update. Could you please explain what constitutes use of IP copyrighted material? Does naming my list a certain way, for example, count in that direction?
2023-06-01 10:05:04 +0000 UTCThe sidekicks are utterly adorable! Add me to the list of people who want a whole army of them.
2023-06-01 09:52:53 +0000 UTCThe sidekicks have been added to those 10 packs we mentioned in the post, they are not a separate download.
onepagerules
2023-06-01 09:15:12 +0000 UTCThey have already been added to the file on MMF so you will have to download the the specified file (again if you already have) to get the the sidekick file. Hope this helps.

2023-05-31 22:00:53 +0000 UTCI'm thinking of doing "glowing" robot faces on them. Like some people do on mechanicus ones.

2023-05-31 21:00:05 +0000 UTCSo, sorry for asking, but, where are the Sidekicks downloads ? I see nothing new in my MMF library (only the "May" initial release - no new "card" here, nothing new (as far as i can tel) under the "Blessed Sisters Game Aids" or "Bases") ... Per what is said "As a special bonus, this week we have updated 10 units of the Blessed Sisters with brand new Sidekicks, completely free of charge. The models have already been added to your MMF library, so you can download them already now!" Again, it's my first month with OPR, minis are cool, but technically speaking regarding Patreon / MMF, absolutely nothing has worked flawlessly out of the box for now.
SRG
2023-05-31 20:36:28 +0000 UTCNot having faces for the Sisters' sidekicks is a little distracting, but nothing some in-game lore couldn't fix. Perhaps they're simulacrum or until they're fully accepted into the order, they're required to wear a veil or something. Personally, I love the sidekicks. Can't wait to see what the sidekicks will look like for all of the other armies!
2023-05-31 19:57:46 +0000 UTCThere are no plans of re-doing any of the existing armies, although we may add a few more weapon options and buddies to them in the future.

2023-05-31 18:34:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the concept art! I want to get into modeling myself, and it is great to see how planning should be done… Maybe one day I might send You some of my designs ☺️. In 20 years or so… 🤭

Zachary Petriw
2023-05-31 15:16:13 +0000 UTCThe sidekicks look like the wizards on Magicka, both in looks and actitude :D

2023-05-31 15:07:03 +0000 UTCAaah, they're so cute! And they'd serve great as tokens for psychic abilities!

2023-05-31 14:49:27 +0000 UTCLOL. These Sidekicks are AMAZING. What a great concept!
Benjamin
2023-05-31 13:55:50 +0000 UTCOmg i love the sidekicks!!! Is there a posibility of this sidekicks being their own army?
2023-05-31 13:47:43 +0000 UTC....maybe I can make a mini army of sidekicks !
2023-05-31 13:21:36 +0000 UTCPersonally, I’d prefer just a regular canon…
MW
2023-05-31 12:50:24 +0000 UTCJust amazing as usual !
Luke Martin
2023-05-31 12:11:20 +0000 UTCI really love that each unit type is getting a different animal motif and sidekick to go them. It going to make painting them even more fun and make identifying them on the field easier.
Nathan Rose
2023-05-31 12:09:05 +0000 UTCOh wow these are really cool concept artworks and the little buddies for the Sisters are amazing as hell! :D ... I am looking forward to the awesome new Human Empire models, you've shown the new concept art for, really epic stuff! I like everything tbh! :)

2023-05-31 11:55:42 +0000 UTCHope we keep getting awesome sidekicks for everyone. My wife loves the ratmens sidekicks the most.
