Yesterday we launched our new store for official One Page Rules printed miniatures. Right now a selection of 4 factions are available with more on the way!
- One Page Rules Store on Etsy -
We believe that great quality miniatures make for really great looking games, so we want to make it as easy as possible to get hands on our models. The One Page Rules shop on Etsy will be the place to get physical prints of some of our most beloved miniatures, starting with our most popular factions!
For the past year we’ve been working with Titan-forge to set up manufacturing for us for this store as they have a great track record printing quality miniatures.
Tier 1 Patrons will also get a Discount code for the Etsy store as part of the monthly rewards.
- Go to the Tier 1 post to find the code -

Want even more? Patrons get access to our stories one month early! Not only that, we also have new playable missions for our games for each story, including the two above that you can play right now! These missions are themed around each of the stories and are a great way to bring the lore to your tabletop.
At the top of post, you'll see some early previews of the what we are working on for November!
In November, the Human Defense Force sees the Psy-Hackers use technology to break into the forces of destruction so easily manipulated by psychics of other factions. They use this data to create real world anomalies or to enhance units with advanced tactical maneuvers. Sappers are special weapon experts that employ an array of heavier weapons to devastating effect. With their advanced training they're able to assume a variety of battlefield roles based on their loadout. The GRUNTs are robotic soldiers designed for war. Expensive to build and maintain, they are designed to be heavily armored and effective at special tasks and missions that human infantry wouldn't be able to endure.
Please remember that these are early WIP shots of the models and not the final versions of the models.
That's it for now, happy wargaming!

Im glad to see the model with the tactical rock. HDF could use some more dynamic posing but I love the overall aesthetic.

They are the guys called to clear the way so the normal forces can move or lay down stuff to prevent the enemy from moving. They are a Swiss army knife type of a unit that is carrying 50 plus pounds of explosives, mines, anti tank shoulder fired weapons and then a rifles, or lmg. And a shovel.

2024-10-26 18:34:58 +0000 UTCI decided to subscribe this month just to get the HDF (I was planning on starting in november, but couldn't resist to get into the jobby with human forces). And after seeing the previews for november I can see I made the right choice! I can't wait for battle brothers, I hope they are coming in 2025 (I've followed OPR for about a year and a half, because I like what you guys are doing in the market, and I was able to start investing now that my cousin bought a 3D printer, otherwise it would be prohibitedly expensive to start collecting). Cheers from Brazil!

2024-10-26 17:03:22 +0000 UTCI hope they at least give us some more upright poses, they just seem so… off to me pose wise atm. I think thats the thing thats throwing me off the most

2024-10-26 03:34:28 +0000 UTCIs a combat engineer really a scout/ambush/sneeky kind of unit? Sorry. But a combat engineer sneaking around behind the enemy lines actually sounds worse, haha.

2024-10-24 17:48:43 +0000 UTCNot sure if the true nature of a sapper could be had in OPR. But a more annoying form of a stormtrooper/recon would probably be close. Ambush,scout, area denial ability. Landmines/ anti vehicle/ building. Something. Idk right now they don't have anything that feels right.

2024-10-24 15:03:58 +0000 UTCThe GRUNTs look awesome, except for one thing. It seems pointless to design the rifles with a foregrip, but then not have the soldiers use them. The front grips improve stability, control, and accuracy. They aren't just for show. It's a minor thing, but it bugs me lol

2024-10-24 09:56:56 +0000 UTCWhat role are you suggesting they would fill in OPR?
nasso
2024-10-24 06:36:21 +0000 UTCThe hips have to be wide because it's a top/ forward heavy model. It looks off because it needs some form of visual rear counterbalance, like a tail

2024-10-24 01:07:51 +0000 UTCAll right
Vodka_Man
2024-10-24 01:06:22 +0000 UTCIt's likely a compromise thing. Make the legs / hips too thin and it'll be too fragile after printing, snapping at the waist at even the slightest knock. Make the legs / hips too thick and it'll take a beating but also looks like a pudgy chicken.
Robert Ullhorn
2024-10-23 23:45:16 +0000 UTC... Those sappers really don't feel like sappers. Nor do their rules reflect what a sapper is. Combat engineer not a special weapons team. Was really hopeful in the last live stream where it appeared you guys had an idea of what s snappers role was. They are cool models but not getting the vibe.

2024-10-23 21:04:37 +0000 UTCI love the sappers , please do again modular heads....a big thank you for doing some of the first Release soldiers with seperate heads. And yes i like the many upright poses very much so we can bild an extreme firing line.....Standing on tactical rocks is not my cup of tea.....Also i am a fan of the robots...

2024-10-23 20:46:47 +0000 UTCI would say regarding the grunts (and i know they're WIPs), but they come off a little, off? like, their hips feel a lot wider than feels necessary, maybe the top portion of the inner "thigh" could be cut out so the joint is almost recessed? and Id really love to see more stand-up poses? like Ive been imagining them as standing a lot straighter when at rest or just at a general walk if im being honest. Id like to know that my far future super robot soldiers are more advanced than a boston dynamics robot haha Also, it really comes off as if the arms are just taken from the regular infantry body and slightly modified, and dont fit in with the rest of the body. like the legs need to be changed to match the arms, or vice versa. honestly id say that the biggest dysphoria comes from the legs being so 21st century whereas the arms and the rest of the body seem so advanced. maybe if the pose came off a bit more natural, then it wouldnt look like its trying to push out it's butt and chest? side note, the heads kind of look like they're from an entirely different army? like oddly wide at the bottom, but more than that, the protruding length is just.. odd. I think theyre a great start so far, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them finished after they're given a bit of extra time!

2024-10-23 20:27:10 +0000 UTCloving the robots! is there any chance we can get some of the pouches, backpacks and heads (if they aren't) as standalone items so we can customize things?
