I just recently printed an entire Deff Dread army for Orks. 9 Deff Dreads, 6 Killa Kans, 1 Mega Dread, 2 Dakka Jets and a Beastboss on a Squig. Likely my most favorite army, looks amazing, and noone even bats an eye or asks if they are printed, cause its Orks and its so perfectly fitting.

Honestly my only intention for printing for 40k would be extras pieces for adding on, cause i feel like the money that i would be spending on getting the offical models would be through local game stores, but i can see the pros and cons of this whole side of the hobby, especially when it comes to making unique minis and additions, so maybe after i get into 40k proper with my first army ill give this a look at

Imperial Guard come to the top for me because 3d printing is literally the only way to do some of the options that GW doesn't make (and to be fair I mix official bits, 3rd party plastics and resins, and 3d printed bits for my various things.)

Very nice Trickery you got going on there Brother! The best one to Print would either be the most expensive ones or the one that consists out of the most OOP models. Or maybe the ones that are consistently out of order. That just won't happen with a Printer.

@williambond2267 Год назад

Space Marines seem to me like the best army to print because there are so many options from full minis to just bits to make your own marines. On a side note I think there need to be more 40k scale Titan files (multi-part) mainly cause I wanna build my “Sonic Titan” for my Noise Marine Army.

@battlebrothersam Год назад

There are very few titan makers at the moment which is a shame

@williambond2267 Год назад

That is a shame. I found a pretty good warlord while surfing the inter webs and some bits to make it into my aforementioned “Sonic Titan” but I can already tell it’s gonna be a slog. Worth it. But a slog none the less.

Correction….it’s a Knight….But you best believe I’m gonna scale that boy up.

@Zakading Год назад

With certain mini ranges, the process of cleaning stuff off and in some cases having to do supports can honestly be such a pain in the rear that I'd rather just grab things secondhand for cheap. Other times, especialy when anything FW is involved, though, then printing for sure is the only right call.

@Joe-pu2bt Год назад

Craftworld eldar & dark eldar have SOO many amazing sculpts in stl's! Also a box of 5-6 space elves from GW costs more than a bottle of resin! 3d printing has saved my $1000's at this point.. for better looking minis lol

@DrVesuvius70 Год назад

The thing about orks is that their motivation in-universe exactly matches my real world motivation to play wargames. Orks don't really care about winning or losing, they want to have fun getting into a good hard scrap. The fight itself is the thing. As a non-competitive wargamer, I just want to play a game and have fun. I want to charge my Light Brigade at the Russian guns to see how far they get. I want to WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! It won't matter to me if my Orks aren't going to be the winning-est army. I get to talk funny and make loud dakka-dakka noises and slap together bitz and gubbins into Orky terrain and vehicles. And that will make me a happy wargamer. But hey, if playing Tau or Eldar or shiny Space Janitors make you feel that same way, then have at it! And yeah, I wholeheartedly concur with the final point in this video. One of the big wins in 3d printing is that it does open up the possibility to try so many different armies at a reasonable cost. A bottle of resin holds so many infinite possibilities to choose from.

@K1LL4Cam 3 месяца назад

I've been printing a Death Guard army, but I don't have an SLA printer, so I've been using my Prusa Mini, and I have to say, I am surprised by the detail. Granted, it's nowhere near the resin prints, but using .7 or smaller detail settings produced, mostly clean, barely visible print lines, albeit, small details are lost or muddy. I will say, I am def wanting an SLA printer now, and have been looking at a Saturn 2, and considering it costs as much as a combat patrol, I'd say its a good investment. I'm going to finish my FDM printed army, then make a master army with SLA, or maybe combine them for an epic army, but I will have to see how the FDM prints come out after painting. I will say, finding most of the files or proxies for Death Guard was not too hard, and have enough nurgly bits to kitbash most other models into the loving embrace of daddy Nurgle.

I'm just about finished with a thousand points for grey knights and right now I'm trying to decide between doing iron warriors or sisters of battle and I've already found all the files I need I just need to get some money to pay for the resin for my brother to use in his printer for me but thankfully this weekend my brother and his fiance are going on a trip and they're going to have me watch the house and check on the cats and my brother is going to pay me in printing some models for me, because in his group of friends that when they get together every other Saturday to play no one uses chaos other than technically Drukari and another one of his friends that plays tyranids otherwise it's necron and space wolves and custodes

@zmanzeta Год назад

I remember when I bought my Elegoo Mars 2 Pro... it was because I allways wanted a Warhound Titan and I saw it was much more cheaper to buy a 3D printer, a resin cure & wash machine and few liters of resin than buy the Forgeworld model. Adding to this I was worried about the quality of FW due the last miniatures I had from them were not perfect and I allways though that if we pay for something as it is made of gold, should have the best of the qualities but it's not the case in FW. From there I just printed a few 2k points armires just like you and I even painted some of them, just for the fun. I'm not against GW or FW, I even still buy from them things like paints, brushed and sometimes even a miniature I like, but last years I'm not very happy with the company and their predatory ways,. 20 years ago, when I started in this hobby, this company was not like this. Nowadays, I think they kinda forced to people to follow 3D print ways, just like me.
