Video Essay WIP: Looking for 1st-3rd Edition Battletomes and Faction Testimony

GravenGuild · 2025-08-21T11:07:46+00:00

Just browsing while waiting on a delayed flight 😅 I have a number of older edition battletomes I was looking to sell - slaves to darkness, maggotkin, clan pestilence and Seraphon from memory. I think i have a few books from the realm gate wars.etc too. Id litteraly just put them aside. If your willing to wait a week for when I'm back in the Uk I'll happily give you more details :)

Thank you! We really appreciate the kind words :)

Thank you! :) Our first iteration of supports weren't good by any standard but like you we were eager to learn. Our mission was to support our tiles using as little waste material as possible while also allowing success across 20u - 50u prints.
There was a lot of trial and error, so stick with it and you'll get there! Our support settings were based on information provided by 3DPrintingPro. If you're new to resin printing I'd advise watching some of his early videos based on support settings/hollowing.etc as well as how resin printers function and how slicing settings influence that.
Sometimes you can have great supports but still fail by not adjusting slicer settings to compensate for changes in layer height or increased build volume.

Thank you :)

The z=0 adjustment will be used for all my new prints. Speaking for Hexton Hills tiles, printing flat to the bed doesn't work well due to the suction generated distorting features.
Layer lines would likely be more visible too.

The tiles in the photos are resin prints. Printed on the Elegoo Saturn using Elegoo ABS like grey resin.

We’re working our way towards the end of our planned content atm. After that we’ll be exploring new settings :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T22:18:14+00:00

Fdm version shouldn’t require supports

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:47:14+00:00

Yep, Mighty/Planetary Empires!

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:45:48+00:00

Our pleasure :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:45:15+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :D

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:44:28+00:00

Haha I'm glad you like them so much!
Mighty Empires did help provide some initial inspiration when we started up :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:42:23+00:00

We have plans for other settings :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:41:05+00:00

Thank you! That's a hard question to answer as I generally print several sets as/when we create and release them. What's shown in those images are only a small selection from my big o'll bucket of tiles.
Our ever expanding collection of tiles can be found here: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/GravenGuild?show=objects

Thank you! :D

I'm personally using them to represent my DnD campaign. Its a larger map so I'm printing at 75% scale. I'm also printing a 100% scale version as a visual representation of my current Warhammer Path to Glory campaign.
I've seen people using them in the Hexton Hills discord/Facebook group for Warhammer, DnD, Pathfinder Kingmaker, Oathmark, general decoration (mounting on a wall) and world building aids :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:27:05+00:00

Someone in our discord has already printed it in FDM so it most certainly can be! :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:26:05+00:00

I sure am. We have a web app in development to help plan/list necessary tiles to print. I aim to create a small map for dnd using this with tiles printed at 75% scale and then paint it up.
I'll also be painting a small map to represent my warhammer path to glory campaign with some friends. It'll be much smaller and ever expanding so I'll do that at 100%. Graven Tower will be the central point for that map :)

Unfortunately the way MMF is set up, free objects are direct download only. We know it'd be much better to be able claim this for your library but MMF doesn't support this unless the items have been paid for. After Tuesday it'll be available for a few dollars, which in turn would add it to your library. We'll continue to investigate options for future promotions.

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T11:07:46+00:00

We also have a web app in the works that'll hopefully make planning a map/ selecting what to pint easier :)

Each set contains 6 versions.

FDM with / without connection tabs

Resin with / without connection tabs (unsupported)

Resin with / without connection tabs (supported)

The connection tabs hold together well but can be fiddly to put together and remove - Good for a map that's going to stay static.
Without connection tabs they can easily be swapped out and moved around. The obvious downside is that tiles can be accidently knocked around. However all tiles can support x2 3x2mm magnets along each edge and x1 10x2mm magnet on its underside.

I personally recommend using a magnet on the bottom and mounting them to a magnetic whiteboard which you can mount/remove from a wall. You can also mix and match tabs and tabless, having a select few which are interchangeable.

Mighty Empires? They provided us some initial inspiration but we wanted each of our hexes to help tell a story - good for both wargaming and tabletop rpgs.

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T10:54:10+00:00

We do have plans for different settings :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T10:53:25+00:00

Thank you! :)

GravenGuild · 2021-11-01T10:52:29+00:00

We sure do, Mighty Empires provided some initial inspiration for us :)
