Hello Patrons,

It's time for the full gallery of parts and multi-shell breakdown! Grab yer gas mask and Sten gun, coz there's an enemy trench that needs raiding! Staffer Adam and Dan have teamed up to bring you a massive expansion of the previous Brodie trenchers, up-armoured and now kitted out for close-combat!

In the images below, you can see that we've highlighted certain elements in bright orange, blue, green, etc (and you'll see similar images in many of our previous releases too!), and various images say "multi-shell" on them.

These colours mean that each highlighted element is actually a separate "shell" - a complete 3D object that it is possible to move, scale, interchange, or even remove entirely! Want to know how? We've got a few excellent text and video resources for you to check out;

Full written instructions of how to use Multi-Shell features in both MeshMixer and Blender can be found here.

Sonic Sledgehammer's Video Tutorial using MeshMixer.

And finally, an in-depth Blender Tutorial that covers advanced movement and manipulation of individual shells, as well as a whole lot more if you're interested!

First up we've got our Brodie helmets with gas masks. You'll find the entire gasmask fully modelled underneath the helmet, and the filter as an optional element too, alongside the chinstrap, rivets, crest and cross. There's 1 pristine helmet and gasmask head, and 5 battered and beat-up versions.

For the torsos we've reworked and updated our very first digitally released torsos -- the "Iron Corps" -- with a pair of completely "clean" versions for our male and female joint systems. One with a plain back that can more easily accept our standard Regiments backpacks, as well as a period appropriate rucksack, canteen and equipment pouch. We've also made the gut plate an optional shell too, which can give your troops a slightly lighter armour loadout.

There's also a full set of male and female joint battle-worn torsos, with scratches, dents, and bullet impacts, shelled in the same way!

The integrated Brodie helmets & torsos feature a completely reworked air filtration backpack and hose setup in various poses, with both battle damaged torsos and pristine torsos. All of these extra elements are kept as separate shelled objects, letting you mix and match, or even transpose these gasmask & hose heads on to other Regiments torso setups!

The shortcoat legs return, but this time we've replaced the puttees with a hardier officer's leather boot, and introduced an armoured shin guard and a padded layer underneath. The shin, knee, and padding are kept as separate elements, letting you strip away the layers.

A real British WW2 icon; the Sten gun Mk 1 never the less looks right at home in the trenches. Its various elements are kept as shelled parts, and come with both male and female trenchcoat arms with added shoulder armour - also kept optional!

For this months' specialists we've opted to go with an expanded set of upper bodies, with 3 male joint, and 3 female joints, with claymores! The hands have been upgraded with armoured gauntlets, for an even more medieval look. We've kept pretty much everything as shells, which should allow very easy torso-swaps with any previous months!

There's also a single pair of torsos with a 1st generation flame thrower. Once again, it's all shelled for easy weapon or torso swapping!

Staffer Cora lent a hand and crafted a beautiful Claymore, which comes with the blade as an optional shell, as well as held in Regiments hands.

Adam has lovingly modelled the Sten gun with a pleathora of optional elements, such as the stock and wooden grip, the rotating foregrip, magazine, muzzle and forward carry strap lug. It comes in two versions; bolt open (ready to fire) and bolt closed (safe).

At the last minute Dan hacked apart Adam's Sten, and made the necessary modifications to produce the Sten Mk II. If you feel up to the task, they're interchangeable with the Mk1 wielding arms as a digital kitbash project!

Cyberpunk Loyalty Reward

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-cyberpunk-metahuman-conversion-bits-modular-infantry-for-skirmish-tabletop-wargames-647972

Each month we give everyone a little something extra that helps build out the previous month's kit. A loyalty reward for everyone that sticks with us, month after month.

In September, everyone that supports us here, or on MyMiniFactory will get all the parts shown below, absolutely free!

Inside the Loyalty pack you'll find

• 10 all-new Metahuman heads; 4 Orcs, 4 Elves, and 2 Trolls. Each comes with multi-shell cyber augments, fashionable eyewear, hair, and/or masks

• 2 torsos with multi-arm "Spider" backpack, shelled for easy conversions.

• 3 posed "Spider" multi-joint arms, shelled along their length for even more potential customisability.

• 1 hoverboard, compatible with many of our Regiments leg poses.

  We'd love to see your pictures of how you decide to represent it floating! Here's some examples of these parts' use with this months Callers & Chrome cyberpunk release:

We hope that this breakdown has given you lots of inspiration to plan how you want to use September's bundle! Patreon has pushed an update that seems to have disabled the ability to attach a zip to the end of the post, but we'll add one to the MMF page so you can download it separately, if you wish.

If you have any thoughts, share them down below, or on our Discord

We'll leave you with some example figures of some potential builds for next month's parts!
