For April, we’re trying out something new and exciting for our patrons: Loyalty Bonuses! Anyone who has ever been subscribed for 3 or more months (can be non-consecutive), will receive a special Bonus model, The Budgerigar! This platy pirate ship has a removable bottom so you can set it flat on the table, or you can put it on a stand to display it in all its glory. Sculpted by Heriberto Valle from Capsule Chibi, we commissioned him to make us something really special and he didn’t disappoint! From now on, any patron who has 3 months of patronage will receive this model. If you don’t have 3 months yet, staying in the patreon for the appropriate number of months will do the trick. For now we’ll use MMF to distribute it, so it should start appearing in peoples’ MMF accounts around mid-April. Every month I’ll be adding new emails to the MMF shared object as people reach their 3 month mark.

Of course, what’s a pirate ship without a crew? We have a whole cast of merry troublemakers, including our fearless Captain, an artillerist, a swashbuckling octopus with a mild platy-partner, and peg-legged bard pirate. Not to mention the mischeivous monkeys operating the mortar! Unfortunately the ship was made at the same time as a the crew, so we weren’t able to make it accommodate all the minis. But perhaps the fair Budgerigar has been beached and our crew is on land, to go with the fabulous bases and terrain scatter this month!

TheBetaMarie brought the best this month again, with shipwreck and pier themed bases, along with a little pirate cove terrain and some treasure. I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone will use these awesome bases… And of course, our ever-growing number of renders are done by Calrais, who has lately been creating some really fun models of her own over on Thingiverse!

This month we have a Cross-Promo with Night Owl 3D, a new patreon launched by one of our very own Cobras, Sa’iraa from the Discord! They’ve generously shared a Thri-Kreen warrior and pet on a custom base, which you can download from our Patron Download dropbox. Just look for the folder named “Cross Promo Night Owl 3D” 🙂

To check out the complete lore, there’s our trusty CobraCompendium, which includes the numbered listing of all our collections so far.
