Our latest Kickstarter, GridForge: Exoplanet Colony is our awesome new delve into the world of colour FDM printing (don’t worry, it’s optional). The setting is our own ode to Hadley’s Hope, a modular outpost on a desolate planet named Cocytus.
With over 500 parts, assembly that is enjoyable and closer to playing with lego, and compatibility with BrickBling’s amazing plug and play lights, forget about the mountains of unpainted prints you convince yourself that you’ll paint one day! Two to six colours/materials can give incredible results, and the best part – they are game ready!
The Kickstarter ends on Wednesday, November 26th, 2025, so get in fast and help unlock a plethora of awesome stretch goals!
The annual MyMiniFactory.com Black Friday (plus) sale is now on from November 17th to December 8th, 2025. Use the promo code below to get 50% off our entire store, including bundles (does not apply to Tribes or Frontiers).
The November 2025 vehicle on Tribes is the Wolfram UD-25C/M Comanche Dropship, and it’s colour print ready!
The Wolfram UD-25M Comanche Dropship is an orbital landing vehicle designed to drop three fire squads and four auxilliary personnel into gravity wells for fast deployment. 22.5 metres in length, it is powered by two main engines and two auxilliary engines, but has limited reaction control systems, relying on interior gyroscopic control to very slowly orient the craft. The Comanche can make water landings or use landing gear. It is crewed by a pilot and weapons systems operator. It is armed with a forward mounted rotary cannon, automated tail gun turret, and two rocket pods to soften up resistance before landing and provide fire support to deployed troops once landed. Additionally, the M variant has two missile pods, with eight missiles each, sixteen in total.
Perfect for your science fiction campaign, this model prints support free on FDM printers and is colour-ready, with 3mf build plates ready to drop into your slicer and get printing straight away.
June marks the beginning of Expendable, our new narrative campaign project unfolding over the next three months on Tribes. Set on the hostile mining colony of Cocytus, Expendable tells the story of a skeleton crew trying to survive their final weeks on a dying world—until everything starts to unravel.
Releases
This month’s release introduces the first key elements of the setting:
The Communications Relay Set A rugged, modular installation built for hostile off-world environments. This set includes a concrete foundation, a power node, and a multi-level truss tower topped with a communications array. Ideal for remote outposts or perimeter control points.
The Taurus Highlander ATV A six-wheeled, all-terrain crew transport built to handle the rough ground and toxic atmosphere of Cocytus. Available in two versions: a fully operational variant, and a wrecked version—perfect for narrative missions and crash site scenes.
Back Catalogue Items The Friends of Benjaminen tier gets some additional classics this month, including the Prison Cell Pack, Bridge Tiles, and the brand new Sleipnir Hull Extenders (NEW). These models expand the possibilities of your sci-fi setups with more detail and versatility.
All featured new terrain and vehicles are GridForge-compatible, making them easy to integrate with your existing layouts. Simply plug them in to expand your modular boards and create atmospheric mission zones in moments.
This is just the start. Expendable takes place in the same universe as Starship VI: Sole Survivor. It serves as a prequel to our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, The Last Voyage of the Persephone, launching later this year. We’re also teaming up with one of the biggest names in indie tabletop games to bring skirmish-focused missions and gameplay to life alongside the terrain. More on that partnership soon.
We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next. For now, suit up, keep your helmet sealed, and prepare to leave Cocytus—if you can.
On December 10 we are launching a FronTier on MyMiniFactory.com. The files will immediately become available our brand new tile system. While OpenLOCK is a great system, swapping out tiles can be a pain. It takes brute force and often requires partially disassembling a layout to swap even one or two tiles.
Enter GridForge! Rather than have a base and tile in one, GridForge divides these into two parts. This allows for a base frame and tiles that slot in and can easily by swapped out on the fly.
Our upcoming officially licensed Traveller campaign is now open for sign-ups. Be reminded when we go live, and don’t forget to register for our newsletter to get a free Imperial Marine STL file (or a physical version if you later back the campaign).
The Fifth Frontier War is based on the official Mongoose Publishing Traveller campaign of the same name and marks our first licensed product under the Mongoose Traveller banner. We are presenting the Imperial Marines, Zhodani forces, and of course, some Travellers caught in the crossfire!
The campaign goes live on September 18th at 8 pm CET (2 pm Eastern USA), and introduces a plethora of officially licensed 28mm figures and vehicles from the Mongoose Traveller universe! In all, we have plans for a collection of 80 figures in a limited print run, or available in STL format for those with a 3D printer.
This month we went all our with Tribes. We’ve released our largest vessel to date in a single month, the Ox Starlifter, a space barge that uses brute force to get its cargo in the air and into orbit. It has a detachable cab, and once fully printed in 28 mm, it is over 14 inches long (35 cm)!
Additionally, the ship features:
A folding ramp
Posable navigation rudders (tip: use a tiny bit of Blutac if they are loose)
Fully articulated VTOL engines
Extendable hull
Support for metal rods
But that’s not all! We’re very excited about the upcoming Alien Romulus film, and thought, why not more Sole Survivor! We have three previously unreleased models by Kyoushuneko of our Sole Survivor, Maddy Walker. Also, and a brand new standing cryotube to fit on your Erebus shuttle!
To justify such a large release, these items will be joining our Welcome Pack for new tribers next month. We hope you enjoy the super-sized release!
After two weeks of anticipation, the Erebus shuttle is now widely available to our Kickstarter backers and the general public if you missed the Kickstarter! Late pledges are open to all, and prices remain close to Kickstarter levels. This will change in the near future, so for the best deal, get your Erebus today!
As always, our pledge manager is also on our distributor, myminifactory.com. This means that the instant you back or redeem your pledge, most files are downloadable. We will release outstanding items in the coming weeks, although the Typhon is expected to take several months.
