3D Model Delays

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, we’re going to have to delay our monthly release of 3D models until this Friday, February 7th. With production delays, we just didn’t feel confident about the package we could release today. We’re incredibly sorry about this, and are working hard to do what we can to reduce and eliminate the production delays that have been compounding the last few months. What happened was a bit of a domino effect. Delays from last year caused delays during the holidays, which added to the delays today. 

The good news is that for many of the models, the sculptors are finished but they need a couple more days to be prepared for 3D printing. Coming in late, they still need cuts, pre-supports, etc. And while there are a handful of models that will still be delayed, we would rather have a more robust launch on Friday than disappoint everyone today. 

Another thing we’re doing to help is swapping this month’s Legendary model. The Wood Elves Great Owl Chimera was originally going to be released next month, but since the sculpting for it was done early, it is nearly ready to go. So the HDF Super Heavy Tank will be released in March while the Wood Elves Great Owl Chimera joins the February release.

We know that we need to get ahead of the problem. So for a while now we’ve been expanding our sculpting team with new members and working with outside production partners to not only catch up with our monthly production targets, but hopefully build a buffer. 

What About January’s Models? - Two of the last three missing units from January’s release, the Wood Elves Deer Leader and Deer Riders, should also be done and released to our January patrons by Friday. The final model, the Wood Elf Giant Beetle has had more issues and we want to make sure that we’re happy with the quality of that sculpt before it is released. January patrons will have all three of missing models added to their MyMiniFactory libraries even if their Patreon subscription isn’t active. 

What about the Tier 1 Rewards? - All of our Tier 1 Rewards, such as the new Short Stories + Missions, AoF: Quest and GF: Star Quest campaign chapters, and early access to the Paper Minis are ready to go and will be released today as planned. You can download them right now on our Tier 1 Patreon Rewards post.

We understand that this is disappointing to many of you, and we are deeply sorry. We thank all of you for your support and will do everything we can to improve going forward.

Thank you,

– OPR Team
