Tribes is kind of like Patreon, a way that you can support us on a monthly basis, getting awesome goodies and discounts at the same time. Unlike Patreon, Tribes is hosted on MyMiniFactory.com, our distributor, so all of the monthly bonuses automatically get attributed to your MyMiniFactory account, as does the 25% standard discount on our MyMiniFactory Store!

This Month on Tribes
June
In June a classic UFO Craft, the Klo, a 6 metre in diameter flying saucer with a single operator and no discernable control surfaces, is part of the Tribe release. The ring around the central disk spins. 28mm scale.
May
The Aesir Fleet Revisited. The May Tribes release is a Ship’s Boat in the style of the tail sitter. Part of the Aesir line, the Knarr is a light ship’s boat rated for 0.4 gs used for light cargo and personnel transport duties. It’s 28mm scale, colour+ready, and fully print tested. The Knarr is not available to everyone yet as per usual when there’s a new release out. And there is a good reason – it features our latest Frontier Aesir II at Myminifactory.
If you are not a Tribes member you can get the Knarr Light at the ridiculous discount of 40%! Until Friday, June 26, 2026 at 01.00 PM GMT, the Knarr Light is only $14.95! When released publicly later it will be going up to $24.95.
That is not all. In the Frontier Knarr Light has a bigger sibling: Knarr Heavy. During the campaign the Heavy variant costs only $19.95 (going up to $29.95 later).
If you decides you need, must, have both of them, you should target the Knarrlector for $29.95.
Would you like an even better offer? Become one of our Tribers and you’ll get 33 % off the discount prices for all Aesir rewards in the campaign. This means you’ll get the Knarr Light for about $10, the Knarr Heavy near $13.5, the Knarrlector around $20 and all of the Aesir Fleet ships (including the Knarrs) and their stretch goals/milestones about $100!
Should you want to go big there is 50% off the Collector 2026 Tier. The Collector 2026 Tier is our entire back catalogue (including all our Traveller content as well), worth over $7500 at full price. Non-Tribe-members can get it for $2222.22. Tribe members pay $1111.11 during the campaign.
The test printed Knarr from different angles.
For GridForge in May we had a waterfall and river area to add to the April release Canyon Escape set.
Tribes Releases 2026 So Far
April
In April we released The Dragonfly. It is a customisable starfighter often launched from small carriers and system defence force vessels. Capable of stowing its four wings for compact launch and retrieval, it premiere variant offers a focus on dogfighting and gunplay, with four autocanons.
This design has articulated wings that can move into two different positions. Additionally, it has ten additional hardpoints on the wing ring for alternate configurations.
We also offer variant parts separately that is compatible with the Dragonfly . These parts can be used to swap out wing styles, reverse the wings, add a Sesh-style tail, landing skids or RCS. It also includes two variant engine types.
The GridForge tier in April releases the massiv Rocky Canyon.
This set takes place in a canyon, with easy areas to hide enemies or place a life saving, but damaged, ship. Comes with 29 terrain pieces, 1 unique to this set!
We also have made illustrated print guides explaining multiple methods of getting objects into colour. Plus sample build plates for Orca-Slicer are provided.

March
The T-26 Warlock Snub Fighter released this month is a parasite-style starfighter that can detach from its mothership. It offers a platform that is very cheap and has a wide variety of weapons perhaps better suited against ground vehicles and aircraft than starfighters. The wings of the T-26 can rotate to attack position from stowing. The platform has a wide variety of options and customisabilities.
The GridForge tier released Rocky Risers which is a half height riser for Stepped Terrain. This is useful for XCOM style games. One corner piece and 9 variant walls make up the set. Interior is designed to work with the rest of our martian style terrain.

February
This month we released the Poltergeist, a dedicated militarised space drone wingman. The Poltergeist is armed to the teeth, with 44 micro missiles stored in the arms, a laser lens cannon on a dedicated turret, and five autocannon turrets. The craft relies on internal gyroscopes and directional aft thrusters for microgravity manoeuvring, although some craft have been ordered with more conventional RCS.
The new entries to GridForge were the Floor – Double Plate Diamond and Terrain – Large Rocky Mounds.

January
In January we released the Benoworf Space Transport, a converted Skoldpadda (the Tribes release of December 2025). Benoworf has not only a top deck (compatible with Skoldpadda), but also a brand new nose (also compatible).
This month Friends of Benjaminen Tribers also got a Lyxpadda (Luxuary Toad), an upgrade that requires the Skoldpadda.
The Lyxpadda is a bit unusual with an Art-Deco aesthetic and an auto pilot to replace the pilot controls. Where the controls usually are placed there is now a bed where the crew can relax or curl up into a ball if the auto pilot does not meet the expectations.
In the GridForge realm we had two new entries: the Transporter and Carpeted Ladderwells. Both are colour print ready and compatible with the Skoldpadda/Benoworf.
