Fabricator's Lair 3D Prints: Grimdark Industrial Forge

The second of my two centrepiece “Mechanicum” prints from Fabricator’s Lair! Like the Promethium Reprocessing Factory from my last post, the Forge here can be found both in the Epic Scale Industrial Buildings set, or in the (recommended) Epic Sector: Industry campaign bundle.

This one is another huge slab of a building – even moreso than the previous one if that’s possible. On one side it once again features a series of pipes of a size that would not look out of place in a 40k game, and on the other a long row of pretty “grimdark” looking smokestacks – which I’ve just realised I forgot to grunge up with soot stains on their tops.

Once again, the paintwork followed the same structure and methods as the previous ones in this style, though I’d started to have some issues with the paint markers (I may have used all of the paint in a couple of them?) and bought a regular silver Sharpie which actually worked brilliantly under the circumstances.

As you can see with our scale shot featuring the usual Epic-Scaled subjects, it’s a pretty chonky structure!

And then over here with the 32-40mm boys – I think this one will once again fit into a Crisis Protocol or 40k table very easily.

Predictably, this model is another counting towards Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25 – Extended Edition. Only two more bits of terrain left now..

Fabricator's Lair 3D Prints: Grimdark Industrial Promethium Reprocessing Factory

Another 3D print today – more from good old Fabricator’s Lair! This one is a bit of a centrepiece, as you’ll see once we get to tthe scale shots. It can be found both in the Epic Scale Industrial Buildings set, or in the larger Epic Sector: Industry campaign bundle – which is the one I’d recommend.

It’s a pretty substantial piece – and while you could print two or even four of them to go back to back (to back to back to back!) and it’d definitely look good, I think it also works just as well standalone, or backing into a different piece, or set in a table corner. The paint was much the same as the other Grimdark Industrial models I’ve painted so far – with a couple of Mechanicum Decals added in for good measure. – Including the use of paint markers for all of that god damned steel edging and grillwork!

Yes, I very much need to get some Titans built and painted (or even some Knights!) – but here you can at least see the substantial size of this thing when compared to a regular LI tank, a Superheavy and even a Battletech Mech.

For that matter, I think it also works pretty well as a piece of 40k or MCP, etc scenery for 32-40mm tables. Once again – just read the windows as vents.

This is another for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25 – Extended Edition. Only three more bits of terrain left to show for the challenge – and then my September round-up!
