My Current Patreon Subscriptions (Feb 2023)

Patreon has been a bit of a game changer for individual and small-group creators looking to make a go of it. Suddenly, they can easily launch a subscription service on a platform where people are looking for such arrangements, and develop a regular income stream. The platform is not perfect, and is not free of controversy, but the idea is solid and it’s been life-changing for several creators.

It should come as no surprise, given current obsessions, that 3D printing is featured heavily here, but there are other things as well. Let’s take a look, eh?

Woehammer

Woehammer is a blog that I very much enjoy. I’ve said this before, of course. When they launched their Patreon, I wanted to show my support. I don’t pay much for this subscription, but I like that I do chip something in. I think I was one of their first subscribers, too!

There’s not a huge amount I can say beyond the fact that there are reasons that Woehammer is one of the most commonly-linked blogs in my 5 on Friday posts!

Lost Hobbyist Miniatures

Lost Hobbyist was first flagged to me on Facebook because of some excellent, Discworld-themed miniatures they were producing. Or rather, for which they were producing STLs. It was their Nac Mac Feegle that first caught my attention. I didn’t have much luck in printing these miniatures, but I gave Lost Hobbyist another chance, printing off some Wizards. They turned out great! Here’s the set I printed:

The only wee issue I have with Lost Hobbyist is that because they don’t have a solid theme, it’s not always possible to really predict what you’ll get. It looks like February will be the second month in a row about which I don’t particularly care. I’m sticking it out though until I see the whole of the Feb release, and I’ll give it another month and see how things are. The discount voucher for MMF is handy, though. They have such a great backlog of previous sets:

The Nightwatch stuff looks great, as do the Monkey Island minis. Even when a set isn’t that interesting to me, there’s no question over the quality of these releases; they’re just fantastic.

Max Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald is a UK artist who created the Turnip28 miniatures game. I previously featured his Kickstarter campaign, and that led me to the Patreon. Whilst Turnip 28 seems popular on a few levels, it’s the consistent, specific visual style that really appeals to me.

Given that I keep telling y’all that I intend to do some Turnip28, it should be unsurprising that I joined this one. It’s going to be cool to see content come up as the game continues to develop, and I’m really counting on it for the inspiration and motivation I’m going to need. Well, once I’ve done some more Gitz. Obviously.

Titan-Forge and Cyber-Forge Miniatures

Ah, Titan-Forge, the creators so good that I backed them twice. I actually found my way to their sci-fi offering, Cyber-Forge, first. They were some of the first minis I printed on my Saturn! More recently, seeing the February preview, I jumped onto the fantasy pledge as well.

I love the armies that Titan-Forge has put out, and I’m excited to see what else they release. I think their minis print really well, too. The pre-supports are consistently good. I’ve just primed my first batch of these minis and hope to share some painted ones later in the month!
