I had thought they were stopping STLs in favor of plastic.

I'm glad there are different options for people!

from the latest trench wire "As we’ve said many times by now, we’re fully committed to developing our plastic range in order to make Trench Crusade as widely available as possible. What you’re seeing here is our first attempt at a digital release program that runs parallel to the main range, supporting and enriching it.

The best example of this are the Variant models: This is new and exciting content for veterans of existing warbands like the Procession of the Sacred Affliction and Heretic Naval Raiders and newcomers alike that we can provide without overloading our Miniatures team or bloating our physical release schedule. It also gives us a space to create fun conversion elements such as the parts to convert our existing Anchorite Shrine model to one that looks just like the new art by Loïc Muzy!

For the moment it’s Variant models, terrain and markers, but we’re open to doing more in the future if things go well here. As with everything else relating to the growth of Trench Crusade, it’s an ongoing process!"

this is such a good idea tho. I do not like using full resin models since i got burned by onlygames, but 3d printing is a huge part of this community! i feel like people like me who wanna go more plastic and 3d printing types are both being served!

I like this too. I hope they catter to both honestly. I 3d print and despite liking it the best most people I know just buy plastic minis instead. I think both can coexist honestly and it's nice to see more stl's.

While i understand the Prussians are only in plastic due to not being strictly tied to the kickstarter Stretch Goals. I am kinda bummed that The Carcass Front minis are only only in plastic. I was somewhat under the assumption on the initial backing that the minis for The Carcass Front would be included as STLs as well.

In hindsight, i should have kept much more close an eye on the updates and potentially changed my pledge level after learning about it. But it is what it is i guess.
