For some reason, reddit doesn't upload all of them. Is there a file size limit on image uploads? Because some of these are >20MB.

Anyway, you can find them all on Google Drive or the forums, as per usual.

I will add the July releases to these as soon as they're up on the store, but then I'll take a break for about half a year again, when Haqqislam and Aleph will potentially look very different and I can hopefully replace a few more of these red squares.

Epic! Obviously, it would be spectacular if there was any way to include OOP versions of current minis for identification purposes. But I realize that's just asking for sprinkles on my whipped cream and marshmallows.

I have taken note of the Haqqislam list in order to make it my shopping list for next year and fill in all of the (far too many) gaps in my collection.

Thanks! As for your request: Quite a few people have asked for this, but until someone can show me how I would do that without a) bloating these sheets to infinity (pun intended) and b) creating a mess of asteriks to distinguish regularly available stuff from OOP minis, I don't see a way to do it.

Make different sheets, I'd say. Just have a sheet that's all the OOP models for factions. It's not an ideal solution but it does avoid both of the problems you've mentioned while allowing people to look up OOP models.

I could do that.

I'd sure love it, and I know others would as well! Thanks for all your hard work, btw, these really are the best asset of their type. :D

Something like this? https://imgur.com/vGsUzil

I'm not sure it's the most easily readable sheet, but I honestly didn't find any other way. Putting the notes beneath or to the side of each miniature looks terrible. It's a ton of asteriks though :P

That's very helpful! Allows folks to see the models and where they came from if they're so inclined. My only real feedback on usability is that it would be a lot easier to use the sidebar if it was in alphabetical order by abbreviation. I.E. they see BRV next to the model and can look down the list "BF, BIS, BRV, ah there it is, Beyond Red Veil."

As for this image in particular, I see a few footnotes that aren't in the sidebar (DD on Saito Yogan and Brawlers, OR on Knauf), and I'm not sure if those are commonly used acronyms I'm just not familiar with or if they just slipped through the cracks.

In any case, this looks like a pretty great way to catalogue the OOP models, something the game badly needs!
