Macca from the outer circle was very inspired by my Olympus Mons designs and did his own take on translating those into 28mm.

Being the madman he is, he not only made those files printable in FDM without supports, but he also started mass producing 🤣

This is the way, Macca!

Hello ,

I am still alive. I received a few messages concerning the GDT Website. Long story short: it will be back online either tonight or tomorrow. Nothing is lost.

Long story: my eyes gave me a super hard time the past ten days and I had to stay away from screens as much as possible. Sorry for not keeping everyone in the loop, but I spent most of the time with doctors, resting and quite honestly also worrying a bit. During that time I missed out on a deadline regarding some ownership re-certification for the domain www.grimdarkterrain.com which is why the old hosting service paused and blocked the domain.

- Nothing will be / is lost
- The pausing of the domain resulted in no DNS settings to be found anywhere.
- Amazon is the hosting for the packages. The website itself is hosted in Germany with a provider in Cologne.

I've just come off the phone with the old hosting who confirmed that they have reactivated the domain. It should come online automatically, which so far I cannot confirm. For some earlier other later (which depends on the

Regarding my eyes, I've had a new set of drops that seem to be working okay.

Please take my sincere apologies for the trouble. I am sorry this happened, but I only noticed today...

Kind regards,

Rudolf

I am done with the work on the entirely new sub-range of my gothic buidlings:

The Palace Walls

This base set released in January allows you to build grimdark gothic fortifications for our favourite games! The best thing is: I applied all the learning from my very first fortifications set (from waaaay back) and tried to incorporate all the feedback I received since then.

The Palace Walls are modular in height AND Layout and the new technical parts allow you to build in magnet and re-arrange building blocks.

Of course, all these are compatible to my other ranges and you can mix and match as you see fit.

Have fun with the GrimDark Terrain January 2023 release :-)

https://grimdarkterrain.com/product/january-2023-stl-package/

As it is already good tradition, May 2022 will again have the theme MAYCHANICUM. Here is a small preview of things and upgrades to expect in May 2022.

An Automaton Crawler as upgrade parts to the Excavator released in March.

Harpyrax Siege Drones (put two on a base to proxy an Acastus). Picture is still very much WIP.

Building Adaptors for crawlers to build f-ing moving houses.

And a lot more. :-D Like always, stay tuned abd happy printing.

! It is that time of the year again!

For everybody who still needs to complete the collection or joined late: The GDT Easter sale is giving you 50% off every STL package until Monday April 17th.

So, in case there is something you always wanted to get, now is the time :-) Cheers & Happy Holidays!

At last, everyone! the Assembly guide for the excavator Maioris is online!

https://grimdarkterrain.com/template-construct/stc-excavator-maioris/

If you're interested in getting it, the Excavator Maioris (and two Civitas Land Train versions) are included in March's GDT package. :-)

STC: Excavator Maioris • GrimDark Terrain The Excavator Maioris is generally regarded as one of the marvels settler STCs developed when settling on a mining world.

I am done. Quite literally... That Excavator Maioris was even more development work than the Samson and I am genuinely asking why am I doing this to myself 🤣 Simple answer, because its awesome! And you are too.

So here is the thing:

The Excavator is so far the most complex model I have ever made and it is well tested. You will notice that the fit of the tracks and the underslung crawler parts is just pure print-porn. Like always a lot of future proofing went into this and I am pretty happy right now.

Regrettably, right now my eyes are too tired to make instructions or part renders, but I'll do so tomorrow.

Here is the link to the package. Everything you see on the render is included in March 2022: https://grimdarkterrain.com/product/march-2022-stl-package/

Happy Printing!

A sneak preview from my planning stage and concept "art" stage. One of the things you will be able to do with the GDT March 2022 package is the Bagger 30k - a GrimDark Version of the Bagger 288 / 292 from good old Germany.

Massive lumbering excavators that block line of sight and look nice.

Along with those massive structures go smaller machines that transport the excavation material and ore (or whatever you're digging up) to nearby holding structures. I haven't fully made up my mind on the transport, but it'll happen soon.

While I do test all files and sometimes print them a dozen times, I often do not fully assemble the kits. Just checking fit and some other things, but normally not building the full kit. For example, when I made the Samson, I printed enough parts to assemble 7-8 Samsons but until after release day did not have a full kit.

With the Hermes its the same. This is my first and I am a little proud. Its standing balanced , does not need to lean anywhere and it's just a very cute utility chicken 🙂 (as opposed to the GW Murderchicken)

Done with the Hermes. I must admit, I went down the rabbit hole a bit, but here are now 3 different versions for small retrieval missions.

The Hermes Defender will secure the salvage party against small ground threats and Air attacks.

The Salvator loadout will lift heavier parts onto small land trains.

The Ripley variant will perform lifting and loading tasks.

All Hermes Titans are steered by civilian pilots and do not have an MIU.

(All variants will be in the February 2022 release).

I am not happy with my Torso versions yet, but here is a sneak peak of the Hermes Light Salvage Titan. (which will be included in the Feb 2022 pack of course)

I imagine those more or less civilian walkers to not have a plasma reactor but other means of energy production. For example this one here: 2 Samson Turbofan Engines, that generate enough power to move a light titan.

The three things in the back are counterweights that are in a universal slot. This slot can be used for other "upgrades" lateron. For example a large prometheum tank or maybe an auxiliary reactor to recharge front line plasma batteries?

The two flood lights next to the head feature the regular GDT slot fo emplacements. So, you could for example replace those with antennae or other upgrades.

Arms, forks, engines, legs and exhausts are done. Only the "face" and the back left to be completed.

Let me hear what you think!

Happy 1st Birthday GrimDark Terrain!

Exactly one year ago, I embarked on a journey called "GrimDark Terrain". What started off as an experiment (to tell the truth I did not really think it would fly), quickly became a pretty enjoyable side job.

Let's recap: In the 1 year of GDT, I made almost 600 building parts, printed countless buildings and had to solve a lot of challaneges to continuosly improve GDT service. I received so much encouraging and valuable feedback, that by now I can say, I grew a lot as an artist and GDT matured a lot compared to the early days on Patreon.

And this all would not have been able without the fantastic community that has been supporting the GDT Journey. It goes without saying that I'd like to thank every single one of you for listening to my rambling, sparring ideas, supporting the project and making this all so fun!

Thank you guys, you have been awesome!

In order to celebrate the 1st Birthday and also be VERY nostalgic, I made a little something for you all to enjoy: the first Retro Terrain Piece RE-001.

It will be available on the GDT Website as a gift within the next few days. Stay tuned and Happy Birthday!

Here is a nifty little guide for building a gamine system agnostic Universal Hex Campaign Map. (There was a lot of future proofing). :-D

Here is a small preview for January's GrimDark Terrain release. (please note that from 2022 on the release day will be the 7th of every month).

The campain map and the campaign system are progressing nicely and I am pretty much done with all the different parts of the map, such as the hex grid, tokens blanks to the sides etc.

Now I only need to finalise the terrain inserts and then we're ready for release.

Can I just say how much I love this yellow "industrial" colour scheme of the Samsons? Awesome table and a fun game! Like always quality content by the TTS Guys.

To anyone who got a Printer from Santa! Now is your time!

Last year around that time, I was dialing in my new printer, had nothing cool to print and fumbled around in 3D programs to make my own stuff. I am celebrating all the dudes and dudettes that recently got into the hobby and have a love for small scale awesomeness (aka Titans!)

That's why I have set the shop to 50% OFF for the next 24 hours. Get the the stuff you're missing and feed your printers!

Merry GrimDark Christmas, everyone!

I wish you all a good time with your families and loved ones and hopefully a not too significant addition to your pile of shame 🙂

Now go and paint some of the stuff you printed :-D Cheers!

What I particularly love about GrimDark Terrain is the awesome community! Our legend Member Biff Kline has posted up these awesome buildings and since he's been asked a lot about the parts he used, I created a "small" instructions post.

I have been a little busy with my day job but I was still productive this month. Here is a sneak peek of things you can build with the package coming out tomorrow.

Like always: Fully modular, compatilbe to Civitas buildings and of course pre-supported and tested.

Looking forward to releasing this one. What do you guys think of the re-vamped Umbraculum?

Today I have an early sneak peek for October: the Umbraculum, protecting imperial cities since M29.811.

An armed and fortified building to span a protective shield over the surrounding neighbourhood and shoot down enemy aircraft.

Do you guys also wanna see a ruined version of this building?

Check out the Crypt Entry Kit, that you can build with parts included in the September 2021 Package. No other parts are needed.

The Cryp Entry is a 121x121x130mm large biulding kit, that can hide a reaver.

Template Construct: Crypt Entry • GrimDark Terrain The Crypt Entry Most Imperial worlds have extensive crypt systems beneath the surface. Over the millennia, a variety of uses have evolved: some crypts are used as shelters, others as places for occult rituals.
