Almost done with these models! Let me know what you think. I'm sure there's still room for improvement.
Files will be released on Kickstarter. Follow us through the link below:

Everyone is welcome on board! For the time being, we have focused on the Imperial type of design since it is the most popular faction. However, if the campaign does well, we would be more than happy to create models based on different factions.
lol what's the point of a kickstarter that hasn't launched yet? I'm just going to forget it again. It's such an amazing idea too.
If GW copyright strikes your KS, do ppl get their money back?
You could hit the big "notify me on launch" button and then you won't forget.
KS doesn't collect the money until after the project is finished, so if the project gets a copyright strike then the project won't finish and the money wont be collected
Nah, I unfortunately backed Ant Simulator. My patience for kickstarter is permanently depleted. It's a hype machine, and I'm too old. I have no interest in bothering my future self with this - there are too many steps, and they aren't the kind of steps I enjoy.
I really *really* just want to give money to OP immediately and queue up some prints, but OP is a hypebeast, not a merchant.
Even patreon, wierd as that sales model is, has the Insert Coin -> Receive Models pipeline figured out. If you can't figure out how to sell your stuff in one transaction instead of making me wait to even begin waiting, then I don't really need it. There's plenty of neat stuff to print that I can already buy.
The point of KS, which hasn't launched yet, is to build hype for sure. It significantly increases sales, but most importantly, I receive feedback from the community and see what is expected, and adjust the design accordingly. It is so much work to finalize a product export files, upload them to multiple websites, and then someone suggests a minor update simple yet effective and I have to do all that work. Waste of time and energy.
Not worried about GW copyright striking us; there's nothing they can copyright strike.
I agree with your other comment; projects like Ant Simulator really kill the spirit of crowdfunding. I only support small-scale creators with a good track record who deliver soon after the campaign ends (we deliver within a week of the end date), not months later.
Dang I really like the idea of collecting feedback as you work on models. Glory to you and your workflows, even if I'm not compatible.
Would you consider Including link to a more traditional shop in your Reddit profile? You could put models there after kickstarter is done with them.
I would have to double-check the dimensions, but probably not at the moment. However, that is something I can work on. I would have to divide the bottom and top of the hull into multiple parts.
That Mars has a damn small plate. You could make the tank treads a separate piece if you catch my meaning. Print the hull and tracks separate and near vertical. Might be a more organic division of the parts.
That is actually on my to-do list: creating a bottom part to resemble a hovertank, so it can be proxied as the Gladiator. I haven't started on it because I wasn't sure if it would actually be useful. I'm glad you mentioned it.
I made it! I will be release the files through Kickstarter

Are the division walls in the hull storing the bits an inlay, or is this a second, different hull? I would prefer the former so you can easily take them out for gameplay vs have them in for storage.
That is really cool. When you are ready to release it on Kickstarter are you planning on including the dimensions? It looks a bit large for the rhino style chassis but looks could be deceiving. If it comes with gladiator style turret/weapon options we could probably just scale up or down depending on if we wanted a gladiator or one of the rhino chassis tanks.
Thank you! I am hoping to start the Kickstarter begging of the next month (fingers crossed). I will include the full dimensions on the page for sure! It is closer to a little thicker than Land Raider and closer to Gladiator size. There will be a Gladiator style bigger turret! I will reveal it during campaign. Didn't want to show off everything on the first video. This is just a teaser :)
Can't promise, but that could be something I can try working on depending on how the campaign goes. I have quite a few things to finish before the campaign starts at the moment. :)
The most satisfying 3d printed model video i've ever seen. Great job.
Haha thank you very much!

Space Boys only, or is there room for Sisters and the chaotic brethren?

For sure! I will add it to MMF and Cults about a week after the campaign finalizes.
Would it fit on smaller resin printers. Say a Mars? Asking for a friend.

Yep tracks and the hull is separate. Hull can be printed flat on the bed so it don't waste material on supports.
Absolutely, i have a mars 4. If this could fit on that I would back all the way. This is so cool
This got me throwing my ass in a circle, ngl…
This is the best response I received so far! Thank you!
The reveal at the end <3
That's an incredibly well-designed print. 10/10, OP!
That's actually pretty neat! Will this also be usable as a Gladiator and it's derivatives proxy?

I'd be perfectly fine with a non-hover variant, I'm not a big fan of that to begin with, but they have additional weapons on the sides :)
Oh yea side weapons are coming! It is still on WIP so didn't wanted to share a half baked model.
Great! Really looking forward then!
Damn this is sleek, where’d you get it?
I made it! I will be release the files through Kickstarter [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/industrial/armored-personnel-carrier](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/industrial/armored-personnel-carrier)

Orks attaching dakka be like:
Awesome stuff!
Thank you!
Kickstarter?
Are the division walls in the hull storing the bits an inlay, or is this a second, different hull? I would prefer the former so you can easily take them out for gameplay vs have them in for storage.
The divider is a separate model it can be removed as well
If you speed up the video, it looks like a Lego commercial
Are the lil truck or big trucks?
it's a big trucks! if we get enough funding I might do a lil truck version
This looks amazing... There's no way mine would print that well but I love it regardless.
That's neat, not only cool prints but also perfect storage and or hiding places
Thank you! I am surprised no one thought about this before.
It's a good idea.. just feels too boxy for my taste.
Kill Team rolling up in style.
Do I have to drill the magnet holes, or are they already there? Cuz, spicy if they're already there.
Ofc magnet holes will come with it! Also there are magnet holes on the bottom of the tank as well to keep the model stable.
sweet!

Very awesome idea perfectly executed! Any chance of something similar for the imperial guard tanks in the future?
Very possibly! If this goes well I will do versions for other factions as well
Are those Raptors inside the tank? :)
Yep! It's my Phobos KT team. People thought Raptors went extinct, but they've been hiding inside the tanks this whole time.
Real excellent! You should post them over in /r/Raptors40k/, we'd be happy to see them!
Will do! Thank you! I am planning on painting this tank in raptor paint scheme as well. Excited to get started with it!
GOT DAMN thats awesome
Thank you!
This is brilliant. Amazing work.
Thank you!
What Printer?
P1P
This is outstanding work. I don’t even play 40k right now but I’m backing just to support someone innovating in the space. Good fucking job!
That is so very nice of you thank you. I love this community!
Now that's what I call a dedicated transport
I need this!
Are there 10 men in that imperial transport!!!! He's a witch burn him!! Seriously though that's cool

" Games Workshop make the best wargaming models".
Is this FDM ready?
Yep everything you see on the video is printed on FDM. Printed all on P1P
Count me in 😺😻
How does it scale with a rhino? It looks like it's about 30% too large from the video but it's hard to say.
It is bigger than a rhino for sure! Size is closer to Land Raider just a little thicker
a nice design to be sure, I've been buying minis for ages but only recently assembled my first rhino and was surprised how tiny it is.
I know they are quite tiny! It is quite unproportioned next to a space marine
Shove a squad of terminators in it like a clown car
Are you cutting the holes for the magnets?
nope the holes are part of the model
That's so cool
Following you to keep up with this!!
This is the future
I love this any chance you will do something similar for tanks that can float? Something like gravity manipulation would be a really cool concept
Can't promise, but that could be something I can try working on depending on how the campaign goes. I have quite a few things to finish before the campaign starts at the moment. :)
Heresy!
