Patreon Rewards: August 2022

Hey there everyone! It's that time of the month again - the dawn of all new digital downloadable destroyers to defeat your dastardly dice-dealing opponents!

First things first, for all those new here, you'll receive your files via an email invite link to redeem your files via MyMiniFactory within 24 hours of your signing up (I have to manually issue invites, so you may have to wait a little sometimes - since I have to sleep too!) - and as always you'll get your cheeky 15% discount code for the Solwyte Studios MyMiniFactory store in the following Patron-exclusive post, so keep an eye out for that. In addition, in that post there will also be a featured discount code specifically discounting War Constructs (yes, I know, again, but it's in keeping with the giant robot theme this month).

Ew, promotions. Phew, glad that's out of the way, lemme just wash my hands of that corporate crap. Onto cooler things! Let's start at the top, with the latest in Mars tech: the Komygan Eidola!

Standing at roughly 10cm tall, the Komygan Eidola tower over infantry and even tanks, stalking through battlefields and picking a host of targets to obliterate all at once, with their four arms and huge array of sensors scattered across its front. Coming in with an impressive array of 10 arm-mounted cannon options and 5 leg poses for both its left and right, each of your Eidola can be built completely uniquely with huge pose flexibility.

Next up, we've got the second ever character option for the Covenants faction, the all-new Ochystan Iconoclast!

Seen at the head of each legion of Kyporii, the Iconoclasts of Ochystarii are the directors of the iron will of Kolym Hysta. By their orders are hundreds enslaved and inducted into the ranks of the Kyporii, little left but mindless worn-out wrecks, and by their words cities are reduced to rubble, and so have they earned the title, 'the architects of annihilation'.

With the option of either a Myadea spear or Haratarii Demiglaive (or any other Covenants of Mars arm option scaled down slightly), the Ochystan Iconoclast is the perfect leader for a shambling horde of Ochystan Kyporii, riding the mechanically animated corpse of an Astyrian equine. 

With that cheeriness over, let's get back to giant robots - and giant indeed!

A while back you guys voted on a poll for what you wanted to see more of, and by far and away the most popular choice was more constructs. Thus was born the Quolia-Class Annihilator Construct, the largest successor to the Amalia-Class Secutor Construct bar the Nyphia. Standing at a height of 25cm (in the pose pictured), this monster dwarfs everything else in this month by a fair bit, and wields both a claw and a huge blade, the latter of which, unlike the relatively elegantly electrified thin power blades of smaller constructs, simply uses extra servos and cables to power the arm to use such a weighty solid slab of a blade effectively in combat.

In addition, the Quolia comes with its rear-mounted power core either shielded behind a heat shroud or exposed for coolness, and can use one of three head options, all posed with a slightly different 'neck' of cables. In addition, it is designed with cuts for use on both Saturn and Mars-scale printers, so no matter what you're using, you should be good to go!

Following the giant robot, let's go to the opposite end of the scale - Skjalos infantry - kinda?

Well, I've done robots. I've done tanks. I've done infantry. Now for something new: this August, for the first time ever, a set of four bikers has appeared as part of my Patreon rewards, the latest addition to the Skjalos Guard armoury. The Hellstorm Knights function as fast scouts and a recon unit, typically equipped with little in the way of weapons beyond a simple las-pistol and weather-appropriate tools, however many commanders have equipped theirs with las-rifles and sniper rifles to advance to vantage points and pick off their chosen targets, and disappear in a cloud of dust when the job is done.

These guys come with four poses, which can be flipped in your slicing program of choice for more visual distinction between units, and are entirely compatible with the Skjalos Slaughter Corps, so you can kit them with an assortment of both ranged and melee weapons for any job that you could ask for! In addition, the models feature ice axes, bedrolls, pistols and munitions pouches attached to the bikes to ground them in the Skjalos ranks.

Don't forget, the extras folder includes a separate bike and a set of riders without heads too, so you'll have plenty of options for kitbashing and head-swapping potential!

And, well, this is technically the first month in... I don't know, first month ever perhaps? Anyway, the first month I've not done a tank, but not wanting to be outdone, I did include a tracked vehicle nonetheless!

Allow me to present the Kaieo Destroyer Teams, a two-man crew operating a segment of an artillery battery, one driving and firing the track-mounted shrap-shell cannon, the other directing their aim with a collimator. This set also includes both infantry models, the Kaieo hull, and the collimator in three different elevations as separate extra pieces for use as part of other personal projects, and though they aren't pictured, both a quake and medusa cannon are included as optional guns instead of the shrap-shell cannon, as pictured on the Oryssa Artillery Tank.

Well, I for one think that'll do for a month's stuff. I mean, you got a character, a set of bikes, an artillery team and not one but two giant robots! As always, have fun - don't forget, August's presupports will be up either tomorrow or Monday too! You've got a lot of new stuff to print, and I can't wait to see them - if you want to show off your finished prints and models, feel free to post them up in #my-solwyte in my Discord! Finally, If you haven't received an email invitation in a few minutes please send me a message via Patreon or Discord and I'll manually issue you one when I'm back awake!
