Get over 300,000 miniatures with Septembers Autonomous Drone Builder!
🕑 Added 2022-08-30 21:20:22 +0000 UTCWe've just a few days to go until we unleash a Swarm of highly capable autonomous drones onto your tabletop! - Here are examples of different Drones you can build - expect a full component breakdown soon!
The Autonomous Drone Builder is our reward for Patrons in September.
Over Three Hundred Thousand Miniatures, just in case you thought the title was an error.
For your $10 you get a Blender builder which will allow you, with just a few clicks, to design and export a vast number of different Drones/Robots/Droids/UAV's for a huge range of tactical requirements in different game systems.
Blender is free CAD software, and no special skills are required to learn to use our Builder file - We will be providing simple written and video instructions.
There are 45 components in total:
- 5 Top Sections
- 4 Front Sections
- 4 Power Plants
- 9 Side Locomotion Options
- 5 Front Accessories
- 10 turrets with single and double mount options
- 4 Weapons - Phase Cannon, Autocannon, Gatling Blaster and Missile Launcher.
- 4 sensor devices
- Various additional options within the Builder File.
Please note that turrets and weapons are supplied as separate .STL files. The elements which make up the drone body are only included in the .Blend file. We will supply a small number of example Drone Bodies as .STL files but to obtain full value from the download, Blender is required.
You can use any combination of body components and weapons, or build a Drone without weapons if you prefer!
There are well over 300,000 unique combinations.
Scale
The Drones are scaled to be a substantial "heavy Weapon Platform" style miniature, and most will fit on a 40mm base.
We are confident to say that the components can be scaled UP or DOWN by up to 20%. Giving you the flexibility to use the Drones as proxies for a much wider range of miniatures.
Below are just a small number of examples of Drones you can construct with the builder.
Below, a Land Train using the Front and back Connector options. This unit could be part of an unmanned resupply mission.
Below, Heavy Support Spider Drones with Missile Launchers and Gatling Cannon advance under the protection of a Phase Cannon Sniper UAV!
Below : A Rapid Assault Buggy tows a tracked storage unit, while a heavily armoured Tracked Unit has an Autocannon and tow cable.
The Floating Scout Drone is using both a top and bottom turret mount to carry a radar and multiple sensor units.
More examples.. If someone wants to come up with 300,000 more short descriptions... :D
Look out for a full components break down and Demonstration videos coming soon!
Thanks
