I’ve got so many bits languishing in the bits box that will NEVER see the light of day. This is a good solution to cut the number down, or at least not add to it!
@@BenjisHobbies Binny ! What was that tray you used to base your mini's ? How could I not know of something like that. Havent played kill team but some of there models look really awsome.
It looks like you slightly overexposed the prints, which accounts for a lot of the "softness" you're seeing on the edges. On the OG Mars, where your layer exposure times are ~8 sec, drop the exposure 0.5 seconds, and I'll bet you'll find those prints much crisper.
To fit in with the theme of trench warfare with these guys, you could use the arms and other bits to put in the walls of trenches. This inspiration came from my grandfather telling me a rather disturbing horror story that his dad told him when he fought in the first world war. When soldiers began expanding the trenches they often dug into unmarked burial sites of fallen soldiers.
G.W. need to do something like this. Sell the main body of models in kits and then allow upgrades to be purchased piece by piece and then printed at home. This would reduce waste, reduce their manufacturing needs (so reduce costs) and it would incentivise G.W. to promote kit bashing.
The day I get my hands on an STL file for ironbreaker/irondrake bodies I'll be a very happy person. I easily have 30 models just sitting in my sprew box because they're missing 1 bit.
I always wanted a kreigs grenadier army from forge world. The cost was always to prohibitive. This kit re-sparked my desire a bit, but sadly a lot of forgeworld's lines are being dropped. If I could print that skull mask from the forgeworld mini's that I could throw onto these guys I would be stoked. That mask is sick!
Another option is to buy 1 box of scions for every 2 boxes of Krieg you get, as you get 3 extra heads per box and thus can make a unit of Grenadiers with a simple headswap
I wanted the new GW box and the new models (I genuinely really like them) so I had the spare bits anyway. This was just a way to mop up those extra bits that would have gone to waste 😊
What a great review, and the consideration of printing 3D figures to be able to utilize the remaining spare parts, is a bonus content for the viewers like me who would not have thought of that option. Thanks very much for your efforts and advice!
The really sad part is that back in the day you could put in orders with GW for bits. Just go the the store take a look through the bits book, now they are being asses...looks like it's beyond time to invest in a 3d printer
Nope, no copyright problem here. GW didn’t posses copyright on trenchcoat, gas maskes and shovels, But only on the name, if you call it “The Deaf Corps of Krag” o “The suicide buddy” you are perfectly fine.
I've literally printed over a grand of war hammer with my printer I got for 199$, trust me if you don't have one and u are into armies of Warhammer you are behind.
I have 3d printed some legs and torsos (which are the rarest kind of parts in any box for obvious reasons) and combined them with space space marine parts and now i have some new true scale space marines. Now im planing to create a part myself and combine it with some tau battle suit parts to create a mech that looks like those on armored core. 3d printing really gives you amazing abilities
u did exdently make them more realistic man the boots look like e by the printetd ones like the german ww1 boots ..... love it if u paint the boots just black wold be look mor autentik butr nice art
I did the same thing but instead of 3d print I recasted chaos spawn body's and used all the bits to build that into full units I was able to get 6 extra models for a two model kit
the perception that the extra plastic bits are "waste" is driven by how much GW likes to charge for a relatively cheap material. the extra bits are there because selling two of the same box and sprue is cheaper than selling one copy of two different boxes.
And now that you've discovered the benefits of 3d printing your own torsos, it's only a single step from printing the arms and weapons as well, circumventing GW entirely. Why bother buying the models, after all, if you're going to print large portions of them anyway?
You really missed the point of this video didnt you? Rather than having the variant options lying around doing nothing he has found a way to actually make more value of his purchase, The only way GW lost anything was him not buying a 2nd box to use the variants which would in turn make more spare parts available and stuck in a loop.
@@Selzor uh, why so? If suddenly, every GW employee will disappear, will people stop playing the game? Will all of the existing models vanish into sand? Will people stop using third party miniatures? Your way of thinking is in line with Game Workshop's: "No GW - no 40k". But in reality, there is no 40k without fanbase and people who play it. And we definitely don't need GW to play the game, especially with the stuff we have already. If one day GW will suddenly disappear, I won't cry over 9000+ Space Marine variants for $99.9, Warhammer+ and other garbage I'll never see
@@denysopalenyk4775 But thats the truth without GW the 40k is practically over. No more lore, new models, new rules. Yeah you can maybe get 1-2 new models from some amateur but thats nowhere near as much as gw pumping out oh and not even going to talk about how the existing model's prices would skyrocket even more. Printing out torsos to use the remaining bits and still sometimes buying a few things from gw and use it to its 100% potential is probably the golden middle line.
With so many arms, heads and weapons loose, printing bodies makes absolute sense, I could easily get 6 more _Carnifexes_ or 60 more _Termagaunts_ for 10 bucks, for each...
@@BenjisHobbies yeah! I've been wanting to make power armor and a thunder hammer for awhile now, I might even shave or use a bald cap to go for the psycher look, should be fun!
Great idea!!! I'm the same with my Ork army. 90% of the bitz just stay in the bit box forever. Could I also ask if you have the link for the 3d models?
How to double the amount of miniatures you get from a killteam box? Just 3D print more bodies!!! I don’t have a 3D printer, but I guess if I buy another box I can get more bodies
Im so glad I found your channel and this episode. I had the same issue with not wanting to let the krieg bits to end up sitting. Then I remembered that I had printed some out a while back. Did the same thing as you did. They are a few mills bigger but...Once their in the middle of the rest of the GW ones they blend right in. And you get all the options.. Because there are at least 2 per model. Some with three.. Only issue I found was the gunner arm part number 73 i believe has only one.. So getting all three specialty gunners you will need either a second kit or blue stuff the arm bit.
I have the same prints too.. Lol. Best ones I found. Look even better with the actual GW weapons and arms. I am using the packs that came with them.. Though I would recommend sizing them a tiny bit bigger. Pack scale is definitely different
it's where GW miss the point. They could sell STL for extra bits/options instead of fighting it. Not every one want to invest in a 3D printer (or have a really good one), but for extra bits and kitbashing it's great. Don't fight the progress, embrace it !
Now that’s how to maximize your hard earned cash. GW kits are expensive, lovely way to increase that army and utilize every bit from the kits. Resin printers are so freaking clutch!
I did the same with the Cadian HQ squad during the lockdown, because I wanted to assemble the box art team. but I really hated not building the camo caped, sniper option. and I can confirm that even with a lower end printer, it works out very well. especially if you know what parts are better to print/use official. sometimes, even FDM lines can be hidden of quite nicely. As a detail on a chest plate for example.
I 3D printed the exact same bodies to expand my kill team kitt. When I was missing an arm I used some necron arms since I figured someone would need to have theirs replaced.
Not having a printer I was thinking the Les Grognards kit from Wargames Atlantic would be a good source of extra bodies :) Plus it gets around the one thing I don't like about that kit for 40k, the guns just don't look Imperial to me. And it's pronounced 'core' not 'corpse' ;)
@@BenjisHobbies I know they're basically scaled to fit with 40k stuff :) WGA seem to be in the business of finding a gap in other people's ranges and filling it with their own. So their Death Fields stuff is good with 40k and their WWII (and WWI) stuff is great with Warlord Games stuff. You can mix the 2 but you may run into some odd scaling in the same way yo would if you mix Warlord and 40k.
As an ork player most of my bits went into other boyz. I honestly feel bad for people who play imperium armies, those bits are basically just going to sit in a drawer.
I’m not a great painter I’m afraid, so I don’t think I’ll be doing any dedicated painting guides 😅 With regards to assembly I just winged it. If it looked like it would fit I stuck it on with some super glue!
This was one of my biggest problems I really hate not being able to have all options of an army but my friend and I decided to share the expenses of a 3d printer an it was the best idea ever
Thanks for this video Benji. I have a new unopened box of Kill Team in my room, as well as a brand new MonoX printer. I know what my first project will be!
have done this with the hive tyrant and with a box of zoanthropes... printed out the chest for a hive tyrant and ended up with a full swarmlord and 4 tail pieces for the zoanthropes and a bit of kitbashing and ended up with 3 extra venomthropes and a neurothrope from 1 box. so with printing only 5 pieces i ended up with 5 extra models to play with
They look really good, I couldn't tell the difference with some paint on them. The true test would be to try and play them at Warhammer World and see if they notice!
@@damnright1968 Yes, I was there a few years ago and there's a big section of the building dedicated to the game with many decorated tables and a forge World store accesible to everyone.
Great work! I am still not sure if I want to buy the box. I don't like the design of the buildings and besides of Kill Team I have no use for Orks or Imperial Guard. But those models, especially from the Deathkorp of Krieg, are looking really cool. Also the guns and the bits could be used on other models too, to create a more individual look. But the box is pretty expensive. I wish GW would say that they will sell the models later on separately.
If your details are looking soft, you may want to check your print settings. The first thing that comes to mind is to disable anti-aliasing, or perhaps you're over-exposing. The Mars is capable of much more detail than you give it credit for and it prints just as crisp as machines that are released recently.
I’ve dialled in my setting as much as I can (I’ve done several tests!) but I do tend to expose for slightly longer than optimal. I find I get more successful prints if I just over expose, and when time is of the essence (when making videos!) I can’t afford for prints to fail. Even so, with optimal settings my printer (an OG Mars) is nowhere near as sharp as GW models. I know the limitations of what I can get out of my machine 😊
@@BenjisHobbies aye, it takes practice. I'm getting good so I can duplo bodies to use spare weapons and to duplo heavy weapons - so my sisters of battle from the starter box can use the heavy flamer and MM that come in the regular box as well. PLus I bought one demon prince and I'm copying his body to make a prince for each chaos faction HEads are the hard thing to duplicate with this technique though. Super hard
Printer goes Brrrr. Great stuff bud 😁 there are lots of great STLs out there to do this sort of stuff with or even well just print off whole models or bits!!
Am I wrong to do this? Instead of printing extra models, I just take the extra arms,legs, etc. Cut em up and paint them all gory and use them as just gore on my Ork vs Krieg trenc.
You can find some free files on the sites mentioned or you can buy some cheap STLs I like the Red Makers and The Cult Makers. They have some amazing models The Cult Makers are my favourite guys tbh they have everything... A bit of sort of space marine/thunder warriors types, Feudal guards, Korp types, including tanks, vehicles and more 😁
Surprisingly nice turnout on the printed lads, thought the leaner legs and smaller mask would look too janky next to the kits own models, but it’ll easily pass the 5’ rule. Definitely helps since GW pulled a GW and made it so that the kit doesn’t even make a complete Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team (4 bodies short of 10 guardsmen AND the ancillary support which consists of 4 additional troopers)
Or if you don't got a 3d printer you could do what we used to do and scatter the extra arms and equipment over the scenery and in shell craters and splatter them with gore.
Should of just made a resin cast of each of the bodys, Then you could of had all 3 options for each guy from the one sprue. The casts have all the detail still there & its cheaper than printing ;)
This right here! One of the best reasons to purchase a 3D printer. Hate seeing the extra bits go to waste in my bits box.

'DOUBLE your Warhammer from just one box!' (plus a 3D printer...)
They pay for themselves off in a couple of days if you wanted to print an army or two.
Tbh if ur planning on buying more than 1 large box from gw, a printer is actually cheaper
If you didn’t want to buy a printer a lot of libraries have 3d printers
Another handy bit about 3d printing is that you can print pieces to practice painting on before printing the legit stuff
Indeed! I don’t feel so bad about experimenting with 3D printed minis 😊

@@Neknoh I tried that but they look really weird, Krieg heads are a fair bit smaller than scions :( Scion arms on Krieg bodies also looks horrendous
I feel you, I really do, but… if you’re 3D printing most of the model anyway, why not just 3D print the arms too? Why buy the box?

@@damnright1968 Yes, I was there a few years ago and there's a big section of the building dedicated to the game with many decorated tables and a forge World store accesible to everyone.
That would be the real test! But I’d take the originals if I were playing at WHW. Their venue, their rules 😊
Tmw I'm glad I don't have a printer as my pile of shame would grow exponentially. Good idea though ☺
That’s the danger 😩 I only had 10 dudes to paint, now I have 20!!!

The daemon prince model kit has enough spares to build two full princes if you make or buy a second pair of legs
Great work! I am still not sure if I want to buy the box. I don't like the design of the buildings and besides of Kill Team I have no use for Orks or Imperial Guard. But those models, especially from the Deathkorp of Krieg, are looking really cool. Also the guns and the bits could be used on other models too, to create a more individual look. But the box is pretty expensive. I wish GW would say that they will sell the models later on separately.
They’ve already said the sprues will come out separately. You won’t have long to wait 😊
If your details are looking soft, you may want to check your print settings. The first thing that comes to mind is to disable anti-aliasing, or perhaps you're over-exposing. The Mars is capable of much more detail than you give it credit for and it prints just as crisp as machines that are released recently.
I’ve dialled in my setting as much as I can (I’ve done several tests!) but I do tend to expose for slightly longer than optimal. I find I get more successful prints if I just over expose, and when time is of the essence (when making videos!) I can’t afford for prints to fail. Even so, with optimal settings my printer (an OG Mars) is nowhere near as sharp as GW models. I know the limitations of what I can get out of my machine 😊
As for the scale, why didn’t you just reduce the figure size a few percent in Chitu Box?!
The 'P' is silent. Korps = Core not corpse. 😉
I love using Blue-stuff to duplicate bodies
I like it for duplicating smaller bits but I’m not a fan of making ‘two part moulds’ with it.
@@BenjisHobbies aye, it takes practice. I'm getting good so I can duplo bodies to use spare weapons and to duplo heavy weapons - so my sisters of battle from the starter box can use the heavy flamer and MM that come in the regular box as well.
PLus I bought one demon prince and I'm copying his body to make a prince for each chaos faction
HEads are the hard thing to duplicate with this technique though. Super hard
Hello there! Where did you get that awesome paint rack you have in the wall?
Oi less of the Ork bashing puny oomie. Haha. Good video mate. 🤘
Really cool man! More bang for your buck :D
Exactly!
Can you link where you bought the extra needed stl files so i can create another 50 of ma dudes
Printer goes Brrrr.
Great stuff bud 😁 there are lots of great STLs out there to do this sort of stuff with or even well just print off whole models or bits!!
Love the video :) sorry if this has been asked already, but what 3D printer have you got?
It’s a super basic Elegoo Mars. I 100% need an upgrade!
sooo the trick to getting more minis is to just print them on a 3d printer... cool thanks for the tip
You’re welcome.
God.... I really need to get a 3d printer :P nice work man!
I’ve had my eyes opened to the possibilities! I got it to print the odd piece of terrain but I’ve used it for so much more!
are these able to be played in regular outside of killteam
Ace idea just got this kit. Need a 3D printer now lol.
Great video. Can you please share the link to the 3d printer files, thanks
Am I wrong to do this? Instead of printing extra models, I just take the extra arms,legs, etc. Cut em up and paint them all gory and use them as just gore on my Ork vs Krieg trenc.
the mars pro is honestly one of the best machines, just play around with the anti-aliasing setting to help sharpen the details and remove lines
It’s the original Mars, not the Mars Pro 😊
FILES! i need the exact files you used.
Have a look on Thingiverse and Cults. You’ll find the SHOVEL ENTHUSIASTS on there 😉
You can find some free files on the sites mentioned or you can buy some cheap STLs I like the Red Makers and The Cult Makers. They have some amazing models The Cult Makers are my favourite guys tbh they have everything... A bit of sort of space marine/thunder warriors types, Feudal guards, Korp types, including tanks, vehicles and more 😁
Surprisingly nice turnout on the printed lads, thought the leaner legs and smaller mask would look too janky next to the kits own models, but it’ll easily pass the 5’ rule. Definitely helps since GW pulled a GW and made it so that the kit doesn’t even make a complete Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team (4 bodies short of 10 guardsmen AND the ancillary support which consists of 4 additional troopers)
Or if you don't got a 3d printer you could do what we used to do and scatter the extra arms and equipment over the scenery and in shell craters and splatter them with gore.
I’d like to do this also but am having difficulty finding stl file for Krieg bodies like these. Would you share the link for this stl files?
Is a very easy option, thanks!
Very welcome!
Nice!! Where I can find those STL files?
One of my friends has an Object Scanner as a tool in his Workshop.
And we have a lot of GW minis.
Guess who isn't buying any GW stuff anymore?
@@rrxyzrr well you need a good scannner and the results are more than good. The only problem is... it costs more than my last two cars.
this video is the reason I got three boxes of the DKoK once they were up now I just need to find the STL files needed
Where did u found the files
do you have the link or website?
GW will be kicking down your door to rip those 3D printed bits off their sacred miniatures😂😅
Should of just made a resin cast of each of the bodys, Then you could of had all 3 options for each guy from the one sprue. The casts have all the detail still there & its cheaper than printing ;)
The initial cost maybe but resin printer is super cheap to run afterwards
Great idea, just amazed rhe GW police haven't shut this one down yet. They seem proper against community printing their own.
Could you please tell what kind of glue with that tiny brush that is you used?
It’s Tamiya Extra Thin plastic glue 😊 If you’re thinking of picking some up then please consider using my affiliate link! elementgames.co.uk/?d=10503
