VoidCrafted Teaser~
🕑 Added 2023-01-28 07:36:57 +0000 UTCI'll let this one be a patrons only post~
While we're still a ways off from this being an actual release (Mid 2023) I've been working on this in the BG for a bit now, tweaking, refining and just kinda puttering with the forms for the base VoidFrame. I even painted some test prints xD
I really wanted to just make a post for this cause I know you're not all in the discord.
I'll continue puttering with this in the background~
I also wanted to post up some of the initial sketched that I've been going back and forth on with the Concept artist(Kabewski) I've been working with so far. It makes working on the models a lot easier when I have a cohesive image to work from instead of just the ideas in my head xD
That's pretty much it, I just wanted to show a bit of what I'm working with, and to give folks a better idea of the aesthetic I'm leaning into with this expansion, renders and images are way better then my words I think xD

I am loving these designs!! Any chance you can do alternative head with the blank face mask or simple X design seen in the Banshee/Scorpion looking ones? These scream Space Elves to me and would LOVE to make a ful army with all the various...uhh...aspects of the Space elves ;)
daniel schmitt
much like
Eric Griffith
I’m seeing in the aestethic, something that could over time grow to become a remarkable proxy for space elves. Would be so intrigued to see your take on aspects and vehicles with this serving as like a base infantry start to the line. (Just thinking what you could do with all those various Grav vehicles just has me salivating)

Florian, I’m in the same boat. Pipes has made me fall in love with this faction and the sculpts are incredible.
Florian Wortmann
God I love them. I stay in this Patreon until I die it seems.

Sometimes you have to re-run through the patreon's steps for linking. In some cases it's disconnecting the discord account from patreon, then re-linking it. They're integration isn't the best to be fair, but it's the only way to keep track of roles and the like.

I'm having trouble connecting to discord. Other patreons are there but not yours. Bummer!
Chris Thompson
Cheers piper, I'm in!
Poyper
Oh yeah no worries! It's inked to the patreon which has a little guide for linking your discord, and then it auto adds you to the server~ support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-How-do-I-connect-Discord-to-Patreon-Patron- ~Pipes

Looking good ! Could I grab a discord link please? Tried searching but discord is mentioned a lot but not found link yet. Sorry if being thick! Lol
Ryan Pipkin
these are quite diffrent, I'm loving them.
Lord Rook
So exciting! I've never found Elf proxies that I like and I'm really digging the look of these!
Poyper
The larger constructs are gonna give me too much room to design around, x'D But I'm looking forward to getting to them! I want to work through the little guys before I do my favorite units to really get into the aesthetic~
Patrick Shaffer
Thank you for sharing these. My wife plays space elves so these will be very welcome in her army. I don't want too add any unnecessary pressure, but I can't wait to see what your take on some of the larger constructs and vehicles will look like.
Branden Doty
I love the designs with the bulkier armor (higher collar, hip and ankle plates, tabard) very cool looking as it reads as eldar without looking like a straight proxy. I hope thats the direction you end up going with.
James Rowley
Totally genius design
Michèl
Since i joined for the Tau-like stuff i always hoped you would do some 'space-elf' kind of miniatures and here we are :) I really like the design... and i'm with Adam concerning the larger collars.
Ted Cogley
Those look awesome
Zaceria
Bio-mechanical nidz? :D Someone already pointed out in the discord how you can add a gun/sword mount to the dogs to make them gaunts.
Bacour
I like them all, as per usual, but am drawn more to the mid-sketches with the larger mantle/collar. They look more like a heavier version of the featured render. Lovin it all!
Poyper
I unfortunately have pretty much zero interest in making anything the g.ron.vesa stuff, on top of it being a lot more dubious then making more...unique stuff
Zaceria
Piper will not stop till robotised all of 40k. Have you ever considered giving the tau marines from the fan art a go? ^^
James Liapis
Those are one of the coolest models i have ever seen

"Your pantheon is dead. Souls are fuel. The Warp is full." But in seriousness, these look awesome.
Poyper
Oh no, definitely~ I want to keep the design relatively simple on the base unit, and branch out into the weirder negative spaces of some of the concepts further on down the line~ I think once I finally start getting more used to the aesthetic, and with some proper dynamic posing, even as a base unit they'll look pretty solid~ There's just so many ways to tweak and edit things it's a bit overwhelming actually x'D ~Pipes
B. Griffith
These are looking good so far. My job (Art Manager) is being brutally honest, so I’ll say that they’re “still getting there”, of course. With the previous robots you took a shockingly boring and pedestrian design (B-grade Anime Space Commies) and turned it up to 11! Or maybe even 12 if that’s a thing! With these, you’ve taken the much more interesting aesthetic of the “Space Elves” and turned it up to about 8 or 9 so far. 😁😘 The old “Space Elf” designs used to have these wonderfully spooky blank faces, before they started over-complicating the design, so I really like the void-hole-for-a-face thing going on in the first sketch. The helmet tassels on the various sketches are also nice. I LOVE the open design legs on sketch #3, and the skirt plates on sketch #7 are cool. The foot design on both of those sketches is great, too. The delicate foot with no ankle joint is very alien and graceful. Right now, I see why someone asked if they were living things in armor. Keep pushing those odd, graceful, open designs and it’ll become obvious that these are ghost inhabited constructs. 👍 I’m an old-school Grimdark Space Elf fan, so I apologize for all the unsolicited feedback. Keep up the great work!!
Pan
I love them. Big fan of sleek models like these. I really like the sketches, especially the first and last ones.
Graham Bowmer
Not gonna lie, I was never interested in playing space-snobs. I am now!
Poyper
Anything V.C related model wise is basically all I have modeled for 'em at the moment. It's slow moving and I'm taking my time~
Alexander
Do you have a render of one with the extra upper leg armour plates? I think the extra armour plates will change the whole esthetic of the design (= make it even cooler).
Woody
Looks like I’m getting space tau you mean, or at least once I swap some heads lol
Matthew
I am very happy I found out about this. I only wish I knew about this Patreon sooner
John Madigan
Am I the only one who got GladOS vibes of the test print? Lol
Daniel Henry
Ah i know of what you speak, and these will make a great proxy. Im looking forwars to seeing your designs for the main forces and if they have their trademark agile look.
ImperialArgent05
Robotic Eldar? I am sold.
Poyper
It would be more appropriate to say that they're shells~
Rykujinn
Joined for the Fishmechs, staying for the Voidcrafted. So excited!
Daniel Henry
Are they robots, or creatures in armour?
Serlig
Awesome!
