The Makers Cult Crafting New One Page Rules Miniatures
September 4, 2019 by brennon
If you remember a few weeks ago (the world goes so fast now it's hard to keep up) we talked about how The Makers Cult was working on a cool One Page Rules miniature? Well, over on Patreon you will find them starting to create lots more 3D printable files for you to use when making up armies to use in their Sci-Fi game, Grimdark Future.
Everyone seems to be in the mood to make alternative models for the Imperial Guard right now it seems and this is just a taster of what The Makers Cult have been tinkering with recently. It is pretty ridiculous that there's effectively only one or two flavours of Guardsman available from Games Workshop (I don't think people count Catachans anymore...) so it's good to see that other companies are bringing their own take on the army to the tabletop.
Of course, since Grimdark Future is its own set of rules with a bevvy of recognisable factions with a few tweaks here and there that's where the inventiveness comes in. For example, here we have the Scout Walkers The Makers Cult has been working on, armed with flamers and deadly chainswords. These would make neat alternatives for the likes of Sentinels.
We also have some transport options available too for those who want to keep the same aesthetic going throughout their force.
There is, of course, a lot more for you to get stuck into with The Makers Cult over on Patreon so if you're interested in 3D printing it might be worth going over to see what they have to offer, especially if you like their One Page Rules crew and their games. Hopefully, we'll see more Age Of Fantasy stuff too if it becomes as popular as the Sci-Fi stuff.
What do you make of this work?

Love those shovel-headed kill-machines.
The troops walkers and tanks would be great for a WWI.5 or a skycaptain of tomorrow type game.
Great for a back water lotec imperial world pre empire Calaban? troops.
I can’t say i’m bothered either way by the one page rules, though just about anything could be an improvement given the baseline. The miniatures however are interesting and i’m once again feeling the 3D printer market beckoning. There’s a tipping point coming.
If you paint the bellies of the walkers and the front of the right tank yellow… you’ve got yourself a DUCKFORCE!
If we don’t count Catachans, what do we count? Catachans and Cadians are the only IG we see now (which is funny, as Cadia is destroyed).
You’ve also got the Tempestus Scions, and if you count anything from Forge World, the Death Korps.
The Cadian style of equipment and training was actually something that Cadia exported across the Imperium. So there are many worlds that use the Cadian style equipment and training. Then you also have worlds that old victorious Cadian Regiments reclaimed that they were allowed to settle on.
@johnlyons do you think they could fit in with you’re IG army you have started?
I did actually print a whole army of the Feudal Guards from The Makers Cult, love the style and I love the One Page Rules System.
More alternate Guard? Yes please! Those are awesome, the Chimera is very grim-dark indeed.
The tank looks like a very nice scifi version of the Somua S35
