Your Technology is Fascinating (Final Hunter Update)

Hello!

Update: WIP images on this post have migrated.  Please check the new Grimdark WIP section with the same date and post name.

Here comes the final update for this month's project.  The Mechanicus' reputation for pilfering is well deserved.  They will take any opportunity to swipe technology, be it human or xenos.  After a battle, they will descend like mechanical vultures and scavenge everything their servo skulls and mechadendrites can hold.  I chose the Tau to be their victims because I've always thought that faction has had it easy in every edition.  Every time I read an Imperial battle report against them, I facepalm.  By the Emperor, do I facepalm.  Sure, the Tau's ranged weaponry and battlesuits are extremely powerful but once a major faction gets their shit together, their Expansion Spheres will disappear faster than a Celestial Lion calling out the Inquisition's bullshit.

In other news, a GW rep tried to contact me.  The message is nebulous but the gist seems that they want me to remove all the 40K style designs from the welcome packs barring one or two.  I've always had a hard time determining what they deem 'acceptable' as some old items have passed their scrutiny even though I thought they were high risk.  And while I don't like making designs 'limited time', they have forced my hand.  To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of jurisdiction they have with this sort of thing but I want as little to do with them as possible.  I do not have the time nor inclination to keep redesigning past items until it passes their arbitrary finish line.  To use a terrible hockey metaphor, you do not take a penalty shot if the goalie keeps moving the net.  But here are the main takeaways:

• I will keep the old 40K project folders around until April 16th, 2021 so patrons can download them if they haven't already.  They will be renamed to show the due date.  After that, they will be removed permanently.
• The MMF rewards link for next month will not include the Tech Scavenger items because I don't want to give them an excuse to flag my account.  The Tech Scavenger items will be in the sync welcome packs until April 30th, 2021.  I will try to get the presupports for it fast tracked.  All designs I make during Grimdark Month will likely only be available for a limited time until someone linked to GW inevitably cries foul.
• If patrons want to show prints of my 40K style designs on social media, go ahead but don't credit me or link it back to this patreon anymore please.  Seriously, I'd prefer patrons credit themselves at this point.

Everything from this month is on sync now (list of tier rewards attached).  I will make a public post for some of this month's items in April.  Next up will be Fantasy Month, yay!  I will show some WIPs once I have something substantial.  Stay tuned!
