Hi all! Some of you may be aware that I'm planning to run a Kickstarter to produce the Talarian Kingdom army as a fantasy set of miniatures which can be used in your favourite fantasy table top wargames. This Kickstarter is planned for the end of February (around the 24th). If you scroll to the bottom of the...
2021-01-11 17:04:58 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I'm still working on the minis for the knightly orders at the moment and wanted to share a last minute change in direction with you!
I'm building the army to be kings of War compatible as an army for the Kingdoms of Men, so I'll be providing multi basing bases and scatter terrain to help make them look nic...
2021-01-09 15:14:17 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
This month we've joined forces with a bunch of other independent 3D printing creators to launch a new Patreon, the STL Creator Sampler!
I've already had a few people contacting me with concerns over this one thinking they may be scalping minis from other sources, but it is entir...

Hi all! the guys over at MMF are running a new year sale.
Head over to my profile at www.myminifactory.com/users/The_Lions_Tower
(note that I've just changed my user name from dan_lion_tower to The_Lions_Tower so the URL is now different).
The full collection is online now (except the Kingsgua...

I hope you're all well rested and well fed after the festivities over the last week or so!
the first 10 light infantry are done now - for now I've opted for single piece minis as opposed to the modular build but be assured that by the Kickstarter release in February you'll have a...

Hey all! so December has been really busy and hard work for me so far and I apologise its taken me this long to get an update out. I want to say a huge thank you to all of you that have stuck with me through all of this despite the lack of communication and the absence of models for the last couple of months. &nbs...

Hi All! The rangers are finally done and in the downloads folder (although not supported yet - I'll get them done once the rogue sculpts are done! I've done hooded versions for all of the standard heads, but the body also works if you were to choose an un hoodedhead too.
November has been a hugely dis...

Hi all! processing on the files is needed but the mid level veteran rangers are now ready and should be up in the next day or 2.
I have the floor covering being laid in my new office tomorrow so I'll be a little strapped for time before that as I need to get in there tonight and give one final coat of paint...
2020-11-09 16:49:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! just taking a bit of time out of the birthday celebrations to sort out some MMF redemption codes. If all goes well with the redemption codes and they prove to be a hit it will make life easier for a lot of you, especially those of you that are paying for the premium MMF account so you can sort things much easie...
2020-11-03 21:19:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! Firstly as I forgot to announce it, the theme for November is Level Up Rogues.
You may also have noticed an absence of the Veteran and Epic level rangers at the moment. I'm still working on getting them done but they'll run into November a little - its been half term this week and having the ...

OK, so I'm still working on multi parting these guys and making sure they fit properly but I'm still hoping to have them uploaded and available to you by tomorrow morning (possibly today depending on your time zone and how late you g...
2020-10-26 11:22:01 +0000 UTC View PostThey're ready! More renders and information tomorrow and the files will be prepped and available by the end of the day tomorrow too. Female riders will follow later! Are you looking forward to these?
So the hard parts out of the way! organising the modularity aspect of these minis takes far more time than you'd think so getting the first set out is breaking the back of the project!
So this month I've got for you some rangers with the usual modularity you've come to expect over the last few months. ...
2020-10-21 20:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
So aside from the Rangers which I'll be putting up renders of tomorrow (along with their Panther/Sabre Tooth Tiger companion), I've been working on a few commissions. Some of those I still can't disclose at the moment, but there's one that might interest some of you.

2020-10-18 21:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening all!
So Patreon has finally spared me the pain and anguish each month of wondering how the exchange rate is going to affect my earnings and has allowed me to convert my account to my native GBP. Pay Pal's exchange rates are horrendous and I've been finding that I'm losing out massively, often getting ...

Hey guys! One thing that always frustrates me online is when I see people struggling to get prints to work and the discussions over adhesion issues. The inevitable "sand your build plate" advice crops up, along with other ludicrous advice like Lube your FEP!!!
Essentially, if you are suffering with print fai...
2020-09-24 09:33:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! been having a few random zbrush crashes on the Veteran paladins today so have taken a bit of a break from them to work on this guy. I'll work on the full unit (2-3 each of Male and female riders) so that I can give you a full unit in one go.
I've updated the riders in line with the new Kings...
2020-09-23 13:45:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! I've just finished the female Paladin Noob now and am prepping files for the folder. She should be up sometime today.
Both hands and heads are modular so you can mix and match from previous modular sets too.
Here's a few renders of the posed up male and female Noob lev...
2020-09-22 11:06:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! I've got the first of the Paladins sculpted and I'm transferring the detail to the female body now. Both should be posed up in a day or so and available to download. The next week for me is a full sculpt-a-thon so I'd hope to have the full set done by the end of the week.
I've made sure the P...
2020-09-20 19:21:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! right then so to say that artificers as a class to sculpt has been mentally taxing is an enormous understatement but they're finally finished so I'll be circulating the files shortly once the awesome Mr Elston has wrapped up the supports!
Here's the final renders - let me know what you think! do th...
2020-09-16 13:51:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! I'm done with the veteran Artificers and have also rustled up a couple of Spider Bots - one with a repeater crossbow turret and one with a fuse coming out of the top of the barrel as a walking bomb!
Just prepping the files now and then I'll circulate them all to the August Backers. Legendary level A...
2020-09-04 10:45:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
So firstly an apology from me. This month has been massively disrupted for me so I'm way behind where I had wanted to be and consequently I wont be able to get the artificer minis finished before the end of the month though I have a cunning plan to get that back on track (see below).
We had a ...
2020-08-28 22:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys, because I like to try to accommodate requests and because it seemed in keeping with the character of this one, I've added a rifle as a weapon option too.

2020-08-25 13:21:09 +0000 UTC View Posthi all, its been a bit of a hectic month with family holidays and the delivery of the Lion Tower HQ building so sculpting progress has been a little slower than anticipated. Lots of projects bubbling over but as a result I'm a little behind on the level up artificers. I'm just preparing the STL files for the first...

2020-08-07 20:23:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Been busy the last few days with these sculpts. The female is finished and so is the male. Only the vedalken heads are pictured, but there are more heads to be done on both counts - in the meantime all of the Kingsguard heads can also be used. I'll get both of these posed up next, and then push...

Hi all! I've had a lot of requests to publish the numbering system used on my models so that you can all ensure that you've got the full collection.
I havent gone into all of the files and miniature variants in this, but I have gone as far as the file location for each model. Each of the Kingsguard model typ...
