GAMES WORKSHOP is going to HATE this Video - 3d Printing an Entire Army (Warhammer 40k) 

I will look at One Page Rules.

printer link?

Thanks!. I have been using the GSW colour shift paints on the SW legion Droidekars. Not a total success. 😆

Color shift looks great as basecoat for iron hands!

Well said!

more expensive?

​@@user-id3un2yb8q no no, he said more expansive, not expensive

@@user-id3un2yb8q 3d printing is generally more cheaper.

​@@user-id3un2yb8qit's more expensive if you want a killteam or a 500 point army. I don't really have much interest in having 1 big army, if you're like me and just want some of everything. All the cool models, it's much much cheaper. More expensive to start, like €250 Vs €150 but you can get probably 2x or 3x the models. Then on top of that you can get 2000 points for less than a bottle of resin (€25) instead of €600+ More expensive to start, then cheaper and cheaper the more you print.

Glad I could help!

OnePage has been doing sterling work for some years; producing a fun and free set of rules for use with Sci-Fi minis. The stls are the icing on the cake.

OPR are awesome, and the core rules and army lists are all downloadable for free, so you can get going with whatever minis you already have straight away. Going in for the Patreon (at the basic level) just adds to the experience, with _full_ rulebooks containing more advanced rules and even different types of game to make it even more immersive - or the rulebooks are all available at Wargames Vault each for about the price of a month's Tier 1 sub. As a Patron, you also get access to the unit creator rules, so you can design rules for anything that's not already there and cost it up using the same formula Gaetano does. And at the Tier 2 (about £10) you get all the STLs OPR release that month (usually a bunch of minis over about four armies),as well as a discount code so you can get previous ones way cheaper. _And_ they often do deals with other creators, getting you bonus tester models on top of what they're already producing.

Corvus Belli are also happy for you to proxy models and their rules are free

I have done this to straighten but not to help remove the supports, I'll will give it a try.

100%! A lot of us 3d printers were cringing watching those supports being pulled off dry haha.

@@cameronrich2160 For sure, once you try it and see how much better it makes things.

Does that work for filament too?

i use warm water in my ultrasonic and the supports fall off after

Yeah, it really hard to justify spending that kind of $ on 1 miniature. An entire bottle of resin cost $45 hell my printer was on sale 2 weeks ago for $139usd

I feel bad for people who play warhammer in other countries than uk, I mean it’s not cheap here but even after exchange it’s way the hell cheaper than america

I always need to put on an extra $10-20 for shipping to because there is no GW or gaming store in my town.

@@oliverwithers9736 If you think Americans have it bad, you probably didn't count Eastern Europe where the absolutely CHEAPEST store (They have some really nice discounts) with GW products I could find in my country price their Start Collecting boxes at 10% of minimal monthly wage. Latest Octarius release is equivalent to 25% of monthly wage or even more for some people lol

@@Baell1 it’s fine where I live in Eastern Europe. The uk. Also if you are earning minimum wage war hammer shouldn’t be what you spend your money on

Thanks for the kind words! I agree with you as well.

To be fair, GW has stated that they make the rules to sell minis, which is where they make their profit. For all ways that matter to a corporation, *MONEY!*, 3D printing and those that use them are out to get them. They don't care if you buy the rule books, they care about your mini buying from them. Anything that lowers that is a threat. Obviously, GW doesn't have to build it's business around the profit they get from minis, but that's what they have done and I don't think they could shift from that easily.

@@technomancermagus8357 Perhaps they can't shift from it, but they COULD take the opposite approach towards 3D printing and do what some other miniature sellers do: Make their own STL files. It still lets them be profitable (How many hobbyists really have a 3D printer by now? They'll still be selling their minis themselves), it gives them another branch of sales, and most importantly: The community will hate them slightly less.

@@technomancermagus8357 I agree, I think they should offer 3d printers, resin, etc. All with GW branding and offer stls as a part of their business model and not a replacement.

@@littleappocolypse what a friendly guy you are hahaha

For sure they have. Thanks a lot.

Thanks. The back of my mind is egging me to try this again next month with a different army...

I know, I think they did a good job with that, avoid IP issue but still be in theme with the grim dark setting.

TAO makes me laugh every time.

Yeah, the funniest part if that GW can't really sue them because they are distinct enough that they just have to bring all the IP that GW copied to court and be like "if we are in breach.... they are in breach."

Thanks... yeah I really wanted to get it done, but realty is I just couldn't paint it all.

I feel like I can still do it, just need to make a few adjustments.

@@FacilityD20 now that's the right attitude! I can't wait to see you succeed!

I know right... yeah and with that kind of printing power this would be easy! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the Tips, i try to be gentle with my plastic scraper, but i do need to get a rubber one.

I should have done that.

Thank you! My boys love hanging out there with me.

@@FacilityD20 they are very lucky to have a dad like you.

@@leftwingdragon6235 thank you! I am doing my best.

@@FacilityD20 😂

Haha, well thanks!

thanks

I appreciate that! The YT algorithm is very hard to break into... this is the first video that I have managed to do it, I have gone up nearly 1000subs this week, it is blowing my mind right now.

I don't know what they are, but they don't feel like latex of nitrile, now I am curious so I am going to look after work. Whatever they are the resin don't seem to seep through.

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it

100% ordering the kit I found online!

Thanks, it's hard for little channels to get out there.

For sure... I feel like I need another kick at the can with some Alien Hives from OPR

I tried this challenge myself but couldnt get the colour shift results like Troys. Mine just went lovely metalic green. So resprayed blqck gloss and started again.. Same result. So sad.

GW Necrons are easier faster to pint for the generic warriors and stuff yes for sure.

I have one, but I was nervous to use it on my resin printer, but I think the aluminum on the build plate is tough enough to stand up to it.

I've used a palette knife, but I've found that the best thing is a weeding "spatula" from a silhouette (or cricut) vinyl cutter. It's a personal preference but I think it works awesome, so much so, that I bought one just for the purpose, so I don't get resin on the one for my silhouette.

Working on another print from them today.

Thanks

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it. The range hood really helps draw out the airbrush paint dust.

Thanks! It might not be the biggest, but it's affordable and capable for sure.

May I ask the name of the printer?

@L M It's any Anycubic Photon, but this model is way outdated now. Anycubic has much newer better printers on their site.

@@FacilityD20 thanks for the info :)

Shipping time is a big deal for me to because I live in a remote area and it takes a long time. Pick up a printer and go for it, it is a great hobby in itself.

Not only does it encourage a more expansive hobby but with further tools and training each of us can create our own models! That's the truly exciting part for me.

@@wiggy5209 and for the stores it’s still fairly neutral as you still need paints, accessories, resin, and will likely spend more on food and other products rather than dumping everything into price locked products with average margins.

Thanks a ton! It took hours to edit this video haha.

Yes, I'm out here in NL, not many stores here wither sword ans Steele in st. Johns is good. Also meeplemart.com is good to

Glad I could help!

anycubic always have good deals! i got my old photon for like 99 bucks

I know... painting minis take so much longer then people think

Haha good one.

Happy to hear that!

Thank you very much for thr kind words and sub! It means a lot to me!

100%

Thank you, it's nice to have room like that now.

Thanks!

Yes! Go for it.

working on printing a sweet model now that can be used for Nids. Stay tuned.

tyranids have some nice sculpts out there =)

me too. been using "virusesofdeaths' models

Thanks... stay tuned 😉

Most days me either haha

There are a lot of custom guns, backpacks and shoulder pads out there for free to.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, I am trying to get better at these videos... and yes that algorithm is a tough nut to crack.

Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.

Squats are cool man

Defiantly, they are doing an amazing job.

@@FacilityD20 For sure I couldnt agree any more. Printing is just getting easier and cheaper all the time. Hell even if you old wanted part models or bits to use for current models it is well worth it as well.

@@yagsipcc287 I like that they had all thir mins split up to, so if I just needed to print a leg or arm I could, that's great for recovering failed prints.

Yeah, really enjoying OPR as well. Currently putting together an Alien Hive army. The fact that I was able to print a "Trygon" for under $10 (5 for file, 5 for resin) is insane. So now im subbed to them and Gear Guts ....pray for me before I drown in resin XD

@@demon1103 stick around because some alien hives are coming soon!

Thank you! Only a few of us around it seems.

Much appreciated! I am trying to get better and improve all those things you mentioned, putting a video together is as much work as the project itself. It nice to hear that you noticed that. I don't want to get over polished, but I still want to step my production and editing up a few more notches.

Nothing washes like IPA... thats for sure.

Thanks it's Cork board and plaster tape. I have a video on my channel and pinned in a comment above that shows this paint scheme and the bases.

haha thanks?

Me to haha

I have to trust haha... no my friend has the exact same one, and never has to re-level it... i plan to upgrade it, but the think was on sale the other week for $139.00 so I can't complain.

@@FacilityD20 That's why I was looking at one, they were so inexpensive, I don't like the design of that plate mount from what I can see in your video. My saturn is a solid ball joint and has a mono screen. My burn in layers is set to 8 seconds - 6 layers with 10 layer transition then , 2.4 second per layer. 170 lift speeds. Try setting your slicer to a Saturn and it will show you just how much faster it can be.

@@Fredster9984 by printer needs a min of 8s per layer... right now I have it on 9s if I had the mono x with the better screen I could do it.

@@FacilityD20 Yes, the Mono screen allows me to go to 2.3-2.5 seconds per layer. I use 8 seconds for the first 5 burn on layers! That's a huge difference. Makes me a huge pile of shame! LOL

Thank you very much! Yes that is a Newfoundland accent haha!

the shirt...

Thanks!!! Stick around and watch a few more videos, or come back anytime!!!

You are welcome

I have an exhaust hood in the work bench.

@@businessathlet3587 I want to exhaust the printer directly out of the building with a duct fan and some flex hose, but I haven't settled on where this printer is going to sit and don't want to drill a 4in hole through the wall yet. I was really worried about the fumes when I first got the printer, but the room is big and well ventilated and with the exhaust hood going, you can't even smell anything, still the plan for the future is direct venting.

Thanks a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support two the channel had a big few weeks for growth.

I do need to look into something like this

Yes, still trying to work out the best levels for balance. Thanks noted

@@FacilityD20 I was also wondering what kind of 3D printer you used? The final prints looked amazing.

@@sentinel1877 It is the orginal Anycubic Photon, it was on sale the other week for 138usd. However it is an old model and there are far better ones available now.

haha nice.

Thanks a ton! This video really blew up!

Go for it!

I totally agree

Definitely.

@@FacilityD20 Not really. lets say $50 for a box. $5 for packaging, transport and logistics, including warehousing etc. $5 for design $5 for rules design $5 machine maintenance $10 for taxes $10 for material, including waste cost and plastic material certification and lost packaging/material. $10 Profit. $5 of which goes to the store(if it's not a GW, but i'm unsure)

​@@azir64 I can find an FLGS that offers 25% discount, and they're still making money on it. Normal business models mean GW makes at least a 50% margin, but since almost all production is in-house and the shear volume GW of product sells mean design, packaging maintenance etc. are going add up to be just pennies per box. Better to assume GW's profit margins are 75%+ ...which could explain why their share price has increased 2000% since Jan'17.

You know... that still bothers me haha.

I think you are on to something 🤔 haha

haha... good luck stopping it now.

You do have a point but then isn’t the hobby more open to people on a budget

Another army muhahaha

Very cool! Thanks!

Nice to hear it was helpful! Thanks.

Haha!

what?

Thank so much!

Thanks! It was a busy few days haha.

I have a bed leveling upgrade on order! Thanks for watching. My buddy never levels his photon either...

Thanks for subbing! Means a lot to us small channels!!

@@FacilityD20 dude this is a great video!

Nice. thanks for watching

Thanks!

Thanks!

I think I will give this 1000 points, 1 day, 1 printer another go. Hardest part is getting a full day left to my own devices. I am working on a video now that is for a mini that is great for Nids however.

One day, hopefully soon, I will upgrade.

I have been interested it seeing how the Soy Resin works, ill likely give it a go one day. Thanks for the info.

Thanks a lot! These type of comments are very encouraging.

I think in the future an upgrade is due for me to... I would like a little more capacity.

@@FacilityD20 I would suggest a Saturn then, its 4-5x faster only 500$ and has 3x the build volume as a photon

@@FacilityD20 go for the new DLP printer man!

For sure!

You can do it!

I want one yes haha

Should still work on resin I bet.

Thanks and thanks for the tips as well

Best thing to do is set it all up and get started, after 4 or 5 prints you will get the hang of it. The resin I use here is the Elegoo water washable resin, I have not had any issue with it to date.

Glad I could help Thanks for watching as well!

When you do go for it, it's game changing.

I should do that in the future, thanks.
