War Altar - about us
War Altar was founded in mid-2024, although its unofficial beginnings were two years earlier when we purchased our first printers - a resin one and a filament one.
The beginnings with 3D printing were quite bumpy, as the first machines we received arrived with manufacturing defects. Fortunately, the manufacturers quickly responded to such incidents, and after receiving replacement parts, we were able to start our first prints.
In the first months, using cheap printers, we came up with a joke - if a print failed, it was probably because one of us combed our hair the wrong way. Sometimes it was hard to find the reason for a failed print, and we had the impression it could be anything. At the beginning, we focused on tests and trial prints, fine-tuning settings so that the printed terrains and minis pleased our eyes and made us want to place our prints on our tables during games. Over the following months, we exchanged printers, searching for the ones we would be most satisfied with.
We quickly reached the point where we wanted more interesting sculptures. We decided to invest in commercial licenses that we could use for sales. Over the next two years, we supported various artists/sculptors, paying for licenses so that during the official opening, we would have a rich assortment to offer. Initially, we concentrated on Fantasy themes, but soon our collection included Sci-fi products, our beloved post-apocalyptic (zombies! <3), modern warfare, and historical themes.
At the beginning of 2024, we decided to rent a space where we would prepare dedicated rooms for printing and working, keeping in mind that fumes and dust from prints using some materials are not healthy. After finding a beautiful place that met our expectations, we began working on refreshing it, installing countertops for the printers, and filling the cabinets with products needed for printing and shipping our products.
We currently offer miniatures that can serve as replacements or proxies for the most popular wargame systems (mainly 28mm and 32mm scale, although scaling is not a problem for us) and represent player characters in tabletop RPGs. We have enriched our offer with terrains and accessories useful for hobbyists - dice towers, texture rollers, etc. On the horizon, we also have glues, paints, paint brushes, and everything modellers need to make the figurines look lifelike on the table or in a display case.
At the moment, we are very curious and excited about what the coming months will bring us, whether the dream of having a well-prospering company related to the theme we love is possible or not... we are keeping our fingers crossed for ourselves and thank you all for any purchases in our online store.
