Our 2023 Plans In More Detail
We love designing miniatures and releasing innovative content for 3D printing, and we think our studio offers something you can't get anywhere else - fully modular content which is cross compatible between months, allowing an ever increasing number of options as your collection grows!
To ensure that we can continue producing the content we’ve become known for, we hope to grow our community to around 1500 regular subscribers.
The new Core Offering
Previous surveys and feedback have consistently shown that modular infantry components are the element of our offering which people value most highly.
So from March, every month we’ll release a fully modular Regiments Infantry squad, plus weapons, equipment and sergeant components. Ten unique poses allowing you to build thousands of possible miniatures
This core offering will be the equivalent of $50 value (If purchased from our webstore as a digital or physical resin product).
Moving forward, getting to 1500 subscribers is the critical milestone. To get there we need to offer additional value to people who stay subscribed consistently, and also reward existing and new patrons with additional content if subscriber numbers go up.
ARMOURgeddon Loyalty Reward Program
The ARMOURgeddon loyalty reward program will continue, with a new large model with a retail value of at least $30 available for free every three months.
The first ARMOURgeddon release, the Goliath Heavy Assault Mech, recently landed, and the even bigger Diesel-Punk Mech is in development for February+March+April!
Growth Reward Roadmap
We will soon announce details of a new Reward Roadmap.
From March onward, every increase of 50 Patrons (starting at 1100) will unlock a reward for all our subscribers! This means the more people subscribe, the more content everyone gets.
How you can help the project succeed and get more content for your money!
We know many of you are as passionate about our miniatures as we are, and you have been incredibly supportive over the last couple of years.
We’re doing everything we can to grow our community, but our most powerful weapon for reaching new members is you, our existing supporters. There are over 1000 of you and many of you are active on social media and in local wargaming groups so..
Help spread the word:
- Liking, commenting and sharing our social media posts amplifies our message!
- Sharing our renders, or photos of your printed and painted Digital Forge miniatures, on social media feeds, in discussion groups or online forums, will help us reach potential new supporters.
- You can help unlock additional miniatures by sharing Anvil Digital Forge content - everything from digital renders to printed and painted models - on social media, in facebook groups and forums.
- Tag images with #anvildigitalforge and include a link where appropriate.
- If you know people who have printers and might like our designs, please encourage them to subscribe!
Any Questions?
If you have any questions, suggestions or other feedback, we are listening!

Side note: I wonder about the perceived growth of OPR. It feels the same to me, but is someone actually gathering numbers on these things?

This was the first group I subscribed too I see no reason too stop. I would love too see not a release on here but kilts that are compatible with your stuff

I found ADF via my hunt to proxy a Battle Brothers together for OnePageRules. Randomly I'd been gifted a sprue of Ranger EXO heads sometime that I'd forgotten about. Reached out to Joel trying to see if there was digital versions and here I am. Having said that, I've used a tonne of the various Regiments models to fill similar gaps with OPRs Grimdark game. Which is possibly a niche gap that ADF could fill for many others in that community. Not 100 on the behind the scenes of it but a couple of other designers out there have colab'd with them for a 'compatible with OPR' marketing. Given the growth that OPR has been gaining in recent years this could be an avenue to increase exposure. Perhaps peak at their army lists for different weapon options but they also have a free unit builder to homebrew any more exotic flavour into your custom army. Aside from that, keep up the good work. ADF are one of the few creators out there would actually design their models to be both printed and built, rather than just sculpting and slicing something
