Everything You Get with March's Desert House Armoured Infantry

Hello Patrons,

The end of the month is fast approaching, and March's full reveal is here! 

Desert House Armoured Infantry

In the images below, you can see that we've highlighted certain elements in bright orange, blue, and green (and you'll see similar images in many of our previous releases too!), and various images say "multi-shell" on them.

These colours mean that each highlighted element is actually a separate "shell" - a complete 3D object that it is possible to move, scale, interchange, or even remove entirely! Want to know how? We've got a few excellent text and video resources for you to check out;

Full written instructions of how to use Multi-Shell features in both MeshMixer and Blender can be found here.

And finally, an in-depth Blender Tutorial that covers advanced movement and manipulation of individual shells, as well as a whole lot more if you're interested!

Here are next month's individual components, and Multi-shell elements:

For next month's Regiments infantry, we wanted to expand on our original Desert Nomads bundle, and give them some adversaries to combat. Josh took our initial concept art and did a stellar job of translating it into a full set of modular Regiments infantry parts!

Your helmet options next month give you three distinct styles, letting you represent multiple different great house factions vying for control, and some distinct and characterful face sculpts to represent your heroic leaders on the battlefield!

The heavily armoured torsos are highly effective at protecting your troopers from conventional weapons, whilst still giving surprising mobility with their overlapping plates. 

Your House Infantry leg options come in two variants, one with a Multi-Shell long coat, and the other plain, making it easier for you to mix in some variety for your squads without having to manipulate the shell options. It does mean however that you've got the option of transplanting the coat tails onto other legs from previous months! 

Next month also features an expanded arms selection for both our Regiment's male and female joint systems, each including 5 pairs of Rifle-Stock joint compatible ranged infantry weapon arms, and 5 pairs of Melee // Pistol open wrist arms, giving you a huge variety of posing options!

The weapons wielded by the House troopers are evenly divided between extremely advanced laser rifles, both of the regular and sniper varieties, as well as the more close-combat focused swords, daggers, and pistol. There's also a set of binoculars, and two pairs of arms (male and female) to hold them, as well as a beacon to spike into the desert sands!

An expert duellist rounds out the final inclusion for next month - deadly and utterly dedicated to winning a duel at any cost. Beware the sting of his poisoned daggers!

Don't forget that you're also getting an amazingly cool expansion for your NASA-punk Astronauts too! Here's the Multi-Shell breakdown

Finally, we'll leave you with some more example figures to get your creative juices flowing

We hope these previews get you excited for March's release!

Suggestions For Future Expansion

We've made a start on adding some more extras already, including a weapon that's heavy and shoulder-mounted! (using our missile launcher joint system) but is there anything you'd like to see that you think is missing now you've seen the whole month's content? Something quick and easy that would complete the set for you?

Let us know in our Discord Suggestions Channel, and we'll consider if it can be created!

Thank you for your continued support!
