Death tide drones - April release #2
🕑 Added 2023-04-28 06:25:56 +0000 UTCG’Day you bunch of bloody legends, thanks so much for your patience. This kit has been a big one, but now they are finally ready to begin hunting the worthless enemies of the Dredge! I hope you love these, Legend subscribers will find them in their MMF library.
When the Dredge assaults its enemy, an ocean spills out from a tear in the sky - a portal waterway known and navigated only by the Dredge, originating from the depths of their rotten sea. An inland city can suddenly be drowned in a tidal bomb. This is the wave style warfare adopted by the Dredge. When the waves begin to settle, demonic iron fins emerge and begin to hunt the flood. Death tide drones are utterly predatory constructs armed with a variety of brutal weapons including tide spewers, torpedo launchers and the bloodthirsty reef slasher - a ravenous machine whose purpose has long been forgotten and replaced as a means to mince enemy lines.
This multipart set allows you to make as many death tide drones you need, as all parts are interchangeable! The set comes with 18 pre-supported parts, ready for 3d printing. This includes 3 face plates, 3 lower jaws, 3 weapon types, 1 rear body and 1 propeller. The weapons you can make include dual tide spewers, torpedo launchers or the terrifying reef slasher. One face place comes with two eye options, one face place features explosive sea mines embedded as the eyes, and one face plate features a mutated, monstrous prawn! Each face can be mix-and-matched with any lower jaw. Each jaw features some hidden details inside each maw. If you reflect some parts you will get even more unique models! . The set comes with a pre-supported 60mm plain base.
Announcements:
The first rewards model is sculpted, but not quite ready to deliver. It will be available in a few days as a ‘2 month loyalty reward’. So if you are a Legend for 2 consecutive months, you will get this model. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I thought it would be nice for me to give you a bit of my Australian culture in this model. You will see the model in a couple of days. There will be a 3 month reward as well, followed by 6, 9 and 12. But these ones will be released gradually, not all at once.
A word on the design of the drones. I want to point out that I have deviated from the original concept. This is one reason why I often don’t like to show the original concepts. The concept sketches are never final in my operation and if I feel that the model should go in a better direction to the sketch, I will give myself the freeom to make that call. I am after all, the art director, the concept illustrator, the sculptor, the coffee maker, all in one.
Stick around for new orc and dredge releases coming in May!

Yes sorry for the radio silence, been working really hard on the next releases. Doing one final test print of the first release for this month, the dredge marine mine bringer. It will be live very soon, hopefully within 24HRS. After that we’ll have a chat about the ork release and the poll :) thanks for your patience!
Can you let us know what we can expect next. Looking forward to it!

I am very excited for the rest of the "Depth Guard" line! (yes I know you are calling them the Dredge I just like the pun)

I'm glad you like that line, I do too. Still working on more texts for the Dredge, hopefully will be released as a full story soon. Working on it. Glad you like this direction better, so do I.
“Hunt the flood” what a kick ass phrase! I like the direction you took with them. The initial concept was cool, but this gels with the rest of the line a bit better imo.
