Manta ready for launch! First, may I introduce the crew? (Patreon)

It is done.  Complete.  Finishio. 

One of the biggest projects I have ever worked on.  I'm still working on the final video to release to YouTube but its exciting to show it off to all of you first  in all its glory.  

We have done one live stream with it where it killed many many planes before finally crashing to the ground. https://youtu.be/xH63n3JGeKs 

And we have started to record the feature and Patreon Exclusive Narrative campaign for the supporter and producer tier.  The Damocles Crusade!  The manta features heavily in it!

Back when we first got the manta it was in response to getting to 1000 patrons on patreon here.  And it was an exciting moment to get there!  I made the promise of putting all the patron members at the time on the manta somehow!  When I finally got the manta and got around to downloading the list of the current amount of patrons we were at around 1300!  

Before we go further.  I just want to acknowledge that.  Right now we are roughly 1750 Patrons.  This is a huge deal to us.  Contrary to some peoples belief,  GW does not pay us any money even though they have been just now giving us a few things early like codex's.  100% of our finances come from YouTube, sponsorships, and patreon.  And patreon is not a small percentage of that. We honestly could not afford to do the things we do without you and so, thank you so much.  We are constantly humbled by your decision to support us.  It means a lot.   And it means we can continue to do cool projects like above!

Back to the manta.  There are 1300 names on this manta.  To those of you who joined after the cutoff I'm truly sorry.  But there had to be a cutoff somewhere!  They barely fit as it was!  We hope to do more things like this in the future too!

THE NAMES

Some Disclaimers.  All the names are converted to the Tau Font for theme's sake.  Sadly the tau alphabet does not have a few characters such as "z". I also wasn't able to convert non English standard characters such as Chinese characters.  I did my best to put them all in there!   Font was downloaded from here: https://fontmeme.com/fonts/tau-font/ 

There are 6 crew members with names in the cabin.  Selected from some of at that time our biggest and longest supporters.  

Next we selected roughly 40 of our top supporters that got dedicated lockers in the fire warrior transport bay. 

And then we tried to fit the rest on the underside of the manta!  Thematically its like honour rolls at important landmarks.  

Attached below is a list of the 1300 patreon names that are on here.  Many people were asking.  How do I find them.. Good question.  Not easily :D. Its all at 10 point font...  

Picture 1: the right wing holds all the names from Page 1-12

Picture 2: the hull holds all the names from Page 13-24

Picture 3: The Left wing holds all the name from Page 25 - 36

I admit.  It may be hard to find your name.  I tried to make it as easy as I can.  And if you ever get a chance to come by our office I'll try to help you find it!  

Long and short of it.  You are awesome.  Thanks for supporting us.  

And of course, Playon.
