I 3D Printed the Most Expensive Stl's for Warhammer 40k
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- I used the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4k to 3d print the worlds most expensive stl files for warhammer 40k. Usually 3d printing warhammer is cheaper than buying from games workshop, but after no new releases for tyranids in years I decided to put my money where my mouth is and 3d print better ones.

Can you print out proxy Necrons soon?
Definitely worth the money for so many combinations of bits, looking forward to the Custodes episode, I recently grabbed a Telemon, not that surrogate miniatures one you did but one of the small Cults 3D creators designs; the middle section of his proxy just looks a bit fuller by comparison got a tiny bit of my 3D printed Telemon painted up while watching this infact..... But you need longer videos dude so I can get more done while watching them. ;)
So where can I find the creator of those models?
Telegram or bust!!! 😁😉
There is something about Nids that makes players and sculptors so passionate. Of all the stls I've seen, it's clear that the nids have the most time, effort, and love put into them. They make so many official sculpts look like a joke!
These blow gw sculpts out the water! Nids have possibly the best looking stl models right now
i think its because a lot of the tyranid sculpts are so old, and with how advanced gws models are getting the tyranids see the least number of resculpts and new models.
@@battlebrothersam whom is the creator please i want to buy their collection
Butov makes amazing sculpts, I immediately fell in love with his tyrand and Swarmlord.
BTW I do print my bases, but only FDM prints for the basic, undecorated ones. There are so many amazing things to use for basing, so fully decorated bases can be more of an annoyance than a benefit
Dude thank you for your comment I was scouring this dude video replaying it trying to to find when he name drops the person who makes the files beating around the bush and everything
Awesome !
And man, you leveled up your camerawork game, beautiful stuff.
Can't wait to see what you work on next :D
Thanks brother!! :D
I had two of those Carnifex models commissioned by a printer at a larger size. I love them!
Very cool! i might end up printing all the variants of them and just embracing the hivemind
@@battlebrothersam do it. Biomass is delicious
i print bases when I am too impatient to wait for amazon or eBay to send me a 100-pack of bases. Im working on a WHFB Empire army so I go through 100 bases like nobody's business. Not to mention the prices on some larger bases is a tad crazy sometimes. I've seen 5-6 dollars for 100x50mm square bases when I could print double that amount for the exact cost in resin. Scenic bases are also nice and give me a nice pallet cleanser when painting models
thats 2 in a row for printing bases, any recommendations for scenic bases?
if you want something sturdier than resin but still perfectly usable and cheaper than official bases; you can order wooden shapes cut to the sizes you need too, i know a fair few ppl who do this esp for whfb/rank and file games ^^
also after watching the vid i'll comment on my experience 3d printing too; ive got a really cheap resin printer (anycubic photon mono) and i've always had thin, flat models warp for myself, might be my supports but ive never had any luck with printing pases in resin, found it more reliable to print them using fdm when I still had a fdm printer ^^
i print bases as well all the time ive got 2 fdm i use for terrain and bases can print 30 x 32mm bases 50 x 25mm 40x28mm and about 16x50mm base for only about $5 of filament at most took me a day to print 20 new 50mm bases for my guards heavy wep teams
I've been watching less youtube lately and haven't seen your videos in a while, but I gotta say, you've gone all out on the proper "youtuber" setup and it looks great! The lit up background, the orbiting camera, and the camera quality are all unreal.
Great video too! Really nice to check out some of the more expensive STLs and how modelers are really upping their game.
Thanks brother!
For anyone wondering, I think the price is fine for ALL the attachments, weapons and wings you get with the files. Also, you can print them as much as you want 😉
Big news: he drops horms and terms next week!
Who is th creator?
oh shit that's great
@@r4pid IO_Butov on Cults3D
Yeah and i mean the more you print the more the price of the file/model decreases.
Can you mention the stl creator? Since the youtuber doesn't bother to put a link or even an name into their video description...😮💨
Iunno about it being more than GW. You now own the stls so you can print those models out anytime you want. The more you print, the more the cost actually goes down.
Great video as always man! Thank you for being so cool and chill!
Simple rule of thumb for myself but if the STL file is within 10$ of the retailer model I just buy the model. If the STL file alone is going for the price of a physical model I feel almost obligated to print several just to get my money's worth. Let alone time, effort and headache.
@@Grooviebones and who tf needs two hierodules
@@agollumcalledgandalf To be fair there are two variants so if you want both the barbed and scythed then you'd need at least two
@@danielcharles93 just magnetise them
Love the recognizably and Ultralisk randomly in the middle. 🤣
Holy Crap, I use the exact same Printer and I have been eyeballing those exact same files!! I feel like this video was made for me!! Thank you!!
What site are they being sold on. Sam didnt link the place to purchase them...
@@darkscorpion6534 he hints at it with the screenshots of the prices.
Love your vids. I'm researching for my foray into the world of 3D printing and i saw these files a couple of days back. The prints are insane! I was obliged to sell all my FW 'Nids last year, so these are more than fantastic replacements. Look forward to your next vid mate.
Seeing them even better close up in this Vid, makes them look even better holy moly. Guess i have to print some Nids too😩
Yes alot better quality than the webcam for the hangouts lol
You and me both!
This video was made for you @S1lentJo
ruclips.net/video/L8TibbgVSpo/видео.html
Blood Angels have already fought nids. I’m hoping the new box will have a different chapter fighting against the nids
I design and print my own bases. I like the cause I can print completed bases which saves me times. I also play Aeldari (Drukhari Harliquins with a splash of craftworld Eldar) and custom bases allow me to print magnet slots right into the base. The heavier bases also prevent models from tipping over and breaking all the fiddly bits.
My Drukhari are on bases covered in skulls, I couldn't imagine placing them all by hand.
I am currently in the process of making flying stand with 3d printed adaptors to make the models hold on with magnets.
This is why I sell printed copies of them to cover the costs of stls
Brother they are epic but the price ouch, they do blow GW's out the water. The paint job looks great easy clean love it. cant wait to see the whole army.
Sorry i didnt make the paint along i dropped my warhound after undercoating it put me in a mood for the rest of the night lmao
The price is... Ouch for sure lol brother the paint job was that easy I'm now going to do a full army lol ah I don't blame you I'd be in a mood for a week
A model i think they should update aswel is the Skinks...
Their model is over 21 years old at this point
Okay so roughly 115 something bucks for three models of that size, honestly I would have to say that's actually very well worth it. $11 worth of resin when a bottle can cost you anywhere from 25 upwards to $100 again I would say very worth it. And if you put magnets in the heads and on the limbs for the two smaller ones you can interchange parts on them depending on who you're going to be fighting against or putting them on display
"Creamy bone tickled my pickle"
kinky
I just printed out some of the files you recommended recently. I must say I was blown away! Will be getting more.
beautiful sculpts for sure
most of the armies have better STL's out there than GW. It is kind of funny because GW even used some of the 3D prints in White Dwarf.
I use my FDM Printer for bases. This saves me time so I dont need to build everything from scratch and they are rough enough that I still want to dump basing material on them.
Im so glad you are boosting this creator signal this person does quality work and Ive purchased and downloaded all of the files they have made.
I'd like to purchase some as well but have no idea where to find the seller...
Name it “Tiny Tim”. And fyi, I just got my first resin printer a week ago and it was your vids that gave me the confidence to tip my toe in the new hobby, and I’m loving it. So, thanks man.
A heads up to anyone watching this around April 26, the creator of these proxies has them on sale for the next week to celebrate Xenomorph day.
Had my eye on these sculpts for a while but just a tad too expensive. Discount sounds interesting, thanks for the video!
Hopefully the discount is good or someone shows him this video so he can give a code lol
Patiently waiting for my replacement display for my Jupiter and may need to pick these up! Thanks for taking the chance on these and showing us the results, awesome stuff, awesome channel!
Hey Sam, I use an FDM printer to print my bases. They are done in about 4-6 hours and cost pennies
Ah that's a smart use of the fdm printer
The secret about telling the wife you spent x amount on your hobby is to "not" tell the wife anything at all... Very easy to do and gets easier as time goes by - try it.
When you showed the different heads at 1:47, I got the sudden urge to make a plaque for them, scale them up, print them, and mount them on my wall like a hunting trophy
I print bases to avoid having a stockpile of any bases I need, its also much easier to get sculpted bases through printing
now that you say it I have a drawer filled with random bases
@@battlebrothersam lol if only
ok, i've been meaning to get their ultralisk carnifex for some time, but didn't want to pull the trigger. come to find out they've got a MAJOR discount on it from yesterday on through the next few days. Now is the time to grab anything you're looking for here.
I was just looking at this sculpt and wondering wether to buy. Now I will ❤
Those are some pretty nice prints, very nicely painted.
Thanks for the heads up, will keep an eye out for that sale!
Nowadays i print all my bases with a cheap resin i have (It's 19 dollars the liter i think after conversion), the end result is flexible and is on point on size (got quite annoyed when even gw couldnt handle milimeters right on some bases... Looking at you 28mm range, with 2 different "sizes")
Anyway, a good start would be Txarli Factory, look at how he supports and make the bases, a lot of pp places some weird supports on bases that just deforms the poor things, but so far, Txarli never went wrong with me, and copying his support style for other bases (and when i resize for other models) never failed me.
+1 for Txarli. I balked at the price for their bases at first, but they're really worthwhile.
Thank you for your insight into 3D printing and now waiting to get my resin printer next week
3d printed bases can look amazing and just add so much to the model
I only print bases if I need a lot of them and or I found something that looks good, but even than I'll only print them if I've got space while printing something else.
Looking great there my good man! I love the use of speed paints for such large models.
Got a printer last year. And recently began printing bases for my stuff. As basing is by far the most tedious process for me being able to just print an already dynamic base and just slap the model on is a breath of fresh air.
Print my bases for 2 reasons
1.don’t have any on hand
2.they look way better than anything I could make with my current skills
I might just start doing them I'm the same
If one is named "Miley", the other one is clearly "Hannah"
When you factor in that buy 1 model premade and having access to the file and being able to print unlimited prints makes the file purchase a great idea
Compared to GW who asks for 100-500$ per model, paying that same amount for a STL that lets you print that same model, as many times as you want for a fraction, is a pretty fair price imo.
with 3d printed bases it's super easy to have ones with slots specifically for magnets so you just drop a dab of glue and slot the magnet in and boom, magnetized base
Looks great man and the camera work and production have definitely improved really nice work mate
I found the sculpts 3 weeks ago and have been patiently waiting for April.
Loving your stuff buddy, really giving me the itch to get into printing!
Thanks brother!
GW needs to hire this sculpter asap! Best looking nids ever
Absolutely a better day when i see you posted a video!
Haha thanks brother glad to hear it!
@@battlebrothersam - i absolutely dig the 3D print warhammer oriented focus of your channel. Please keep posting on this. Keep an eye on custom models as well!
you can print bases directly onto the baseplate. gotta play a bit with the exposure. you generally want a decently long exposure, and large layers. if you do you can get one load of bases done in around 15 minutes.
Bases are not very different to the rafts most supported minis are attached to.
are they cheaper than plastic? maybe? can I just go downstairs and crank out like 100 of them in like three hours? yes.
by far these are the best 3d print files. absolutely justifying the price point
A name for your carnifex? How about Gerald?
I love it
Who is the creator? Also, I love printing bases because it makes it easy to have high quality bases!
Cults, creator name is IO_Butov
I bought all the same files, totally worth it, especially since you can print as many you want
I print bases as toppers, sliced thin and then put on normal plastic bases, best of both worlds.
Please can you find or do exodites elves riding dinosaurs with lasers
I would love to find sculpts of those but I don't know of any
@@battlebrothersam I'll keep you updated
my man has a mission and I fully support him
Sam what settings do your printers have because i have a mars 3 pro and it takes about 15 hours to print votann whereas on your video it only took about 3 in your video?
I use 0.05 layer height 40mm lift 8.5sec lift off 3 sec exposure, YMMV
Thank you
Sam, would you recommend any settings for a Mars 2 Pro with Elegoo Water wash resin?
This is the model that made me want to get into 3d printing
“I don’t know why you would..” Well, cause it needs to fit the base of the original model to play somewhat by the rules.
Parasite of Mortrex is peak Tyranid design for me. Organic and deadly, bestial but hyper-advanced. Neat 😎
I also saw theme like 3 weeks ago and they looked fantastic, worth it.
I just noticed 10k subs haha grats bro...
Funny I just got this video on my feed and today is April 22nd! Unfortunately no discount lol. FYI: still worth the regular price
Regarding the base printing question; I print my bases in my FDM printer, at 0.08mm layer height. It gives me nice quality bases that cost absolutely nothing. Plus, it allows me to customize them if I want to add slots for different magnets (I have an option for three 2x1mm magnets, one for a single 9mm or 12mm, etc).
Also, amazing result on those not-so-minis! I really want to print some big models, once I set my mind on a specific faction to print a bigger army.
Those look fantastic! Great job.
Printing bases is so easy. I can also use 5 base sculpts and get 10 models out of them by mirroring them.
Name it Bob(Beast of Blades.)
ah but you see now you have a infinite number of nids you can print and that alone is worth more that any thing GW can offer
If GW were to update more models, they’d probably just increase the prices on them
Been watching your channel for about a week now, your thunderhawk vid got me hooked as I was wanting to get into printing for displays and like you, the hawk was a childhood wish that was just way out of reach, but these nids are insane! Defo gonna get on that patreon soon for some advice! Keep up the good work
Wouldn’t it be cool if Sam printed an iron warrior 1000p force?
love the content man, keep it up
Out of all the things I could print bases feel like a waste of resin unless they're really unique.
I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the vid but that guy you but the stls from does offer Sales granted their on holiday or something but that guy has amazing modles
I won’t be surprised if they make it Ultramarines vs Tyranids #becausespacemarine2
I bought the Tyranid Warrior STL files from this guy last year. It stung at first, but I can have as many Tyranid Warriors as I want now rather than only 3 from GW. They look amazing.
Would you mind telling me how I could my hands on them too? Thanks brother.
I FDM print the actual base part and resin print bits that fit the army that I'm working on at the time. I feel this is the most cost effective way to do things. I print to need. Generally, I tend to be happier with what I come up than what is available online.
Question on the scale, doesn't it make the line of sight rules harder? Because technically it would be easier to see/harder to hide behind things. Or are there rulings for kitbashed/custom models to not abuse creative choices for the gameplay?
Amazing! I've had my eyes on these STLs for so long... I just can't bring myself to pick them up. Hopefully the sale will be big enough to reach the tipping point.
As for why I print bases? Basing is not what I really want to do. I found some really good city ruins in most sizes needed for my SM army. I print bits, bases, and effects to use with my GW models. Hell, I only use GW models because it's easier to make them into female SM that aren't over-sexualized.
The Flying Hive Tyrant sculpt by the same creator looks insaneeeee
@@SerikonIsHere he’s on cults3d. Typically creator names aren’t mentioned so GW won’t Exterminatus them. Use whatever search terms you would normally use to find nids and keep you eyes peeled for the sculpt.
I suggest joining this channel’s Patreon if you’re having trouble finding the models mentioned in any of the videos. The people there will point you in the right direction
There are a lot of cool files for bases, if you're lazy like me and just want to paint the base and throw some plants or texture on there, they're nice.
Can you do world eaters?
I have the hive tyrant and hyrodule files and the quality even on my elegoo mars 2 pro is immense. Got them both on a sale and don't regret it in the slightest
Keep up the good work Sam! Currently printing a mini for each legion of the original marines in 40k be cool to see a similar print and paint from you.
I see new Custodes on your desk… can’t wait heheh.
you see nothing brother... its an illusion lol
Great vid, would be interested to see some 3D printed votann stuff
I've already made a video on them a couple of weeks ago brother!
Niceee, another vid from the legend. Will watch when I get some time free
I print all my bases on my fdm printer in black filament. Just a basic blank base. At with a .6 nozzle at .2 layer height it comes out to one 32mm scale base in about 3.5 minutes. So you can do a full bed of them in a handful of hours basically when ever I have some down time I’m printing bases so I have a decent stock.
I print bases because I mostly print One page rules models and they include awesome themed bases that turn out great. That said, another channel had me considering using clear bases.
Hey buddy nice video, i got the files myself, and was wondering, did you scale it bigger or is it the right size as it comes ?
I tend to fill up my build plate with bases whenever there is space left. I still buy bases when I order other hobby supplies tho.
I love the ability to scale any 3D print, but in this case I have no idea why you bash on the GW nids. Their organic nature means more detail isn’t necessarily better and the Hierodule is the perfect size to include in a pick up game that doesn’t use knights or titans, imo. The scythed Hierodule was the first large FW model I painted, it was for my best gaming buddy‘s army, and it is my absolute favourite 40k mini. So I may be biased 😂
The printed version looks a lot less dynamic, somewhat crouched, compact and overweight - and the extra details makes it nothing but busy, imo.
Overall, even tho the prices for the files may be justified when looking at the work that went into them, I‘d probably go for the GW carnifex - mostly for the convenience of a plastic kit. That stl is stellar, tho!
Final edit: that Hierodule paintjob is great! Thank you for sharing!
did I miss the custodes video or is it not out yet?
Thats incrédible ! Such amazing models
phrozen is the absolute best company out there
I have the creator's most of the space bug range, totally worth the money
