It's mind boggling that buying a 3d printer and the STL files, printing just one army and then throwing away the printer and deleting the STLs is cheaper than buying the plastic kits.
It depends on how you actually value your time. You're putting in a lot more money in hours, materials and equipment. And they will come with frustrating mishaps along the way and a learning curve to get a decent product.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Sure getting free stuff is nice.. but being beholden to all sorts of rules and censorship ain't, especially if it's a shady company.
@@lowaimnobrain official GW tournaments no, general tournaments should have no problem as long as the print is easy to understand what it represents. For games shops it may vary but usually there should be no problems. If you play in one remember to support it financially because a printed army equals to missed money to pay rent and bills for the shop.
@@lowaimnobrain Not at official ones, but who would want to play at official ones? You'd get nasty glares just for having an official model with lots of green stuff sculpting on it to make it stand out.
Just FYI: You can always have a silky-smooth surface for your FDM-printed base by enabling the Ironing feature in Cura - even if you're planning to sculpt the base anyway.
Remember those couple times when Pete received early models from GW for him to convert, like the primaris bikers? Yeah, that's not happening ever again.
This is something that's been nagging at me for a few videos now. I'm not a huge fan of the red and blue lights and background used during your beauty-shots. It makes it difficult to really see and register all of your fantastic paint work when either strong red or blue tones are washing out the entire paint scheme. This was super apparent in this video too. I had no idea where the lights ended and the paints started and the addition of the red and blue background made things even harder to focus on with all of the bright primary colors demanding attention. I don't want to come across as pushy, over critical, or even like I hate your channel. I love the work you do and I PERSONALLY want to see it all in it's pinned, greenstuffed, and dead-animal-bitsified glory! I'd love to hear how others think too though
idk, if i follow the video he only colors it from the side, like a shade. but doesnt paint anything else except the eyes. you gotta like to have it like that, but it is of course more work to paint it properly/fully.
Great job as always. Very interesting to see you do OSL. I usually prefer conventional paintjobs but it’s really nice to see something different every once in a while :)
They look great! I would like to see future videos where you 3D print parts to kitbash onto warhammer models. Blur the line so much between what is allowed and what isn't so that their stores and events can't do squat :^)
Such a simple, yet effective and good looking paint scheme. Great sculpts as well although I agree there is definitely a limit to resin detail compared with plastic.
I think a bit part of it is the number of components. If a kit is split down into more parts you can have deeper recesses and more defined details. A lot of the 3d printed kits tend to split their minis into as few a parts as possible. It definitely helps with assembly time but at the cost of some level of detail.
I have really been interested on 3D printing, but have never really been too educated about it. But following you has really boosted my confidence and also your step by step commentary really has thaught me a lot, and seeing you do this "trend" really has me thinking about getting 3D printer even more. Thank you for that
It's a dumb meme, where you spent way more money than you think because most 3D printers are designed to break in around 3 years worth of service due to how poorly constructed half of them are. Unless you really want to have a dozen armies it's not worth buying and spending all the effort working with toxic resin residue just for a casual side hobby. Pete the paid shill can do it because he probably got a discount with how much he plugs his cheap chinese tat.. considering Saturns have absolutely abysmal repair rates.
@@grimnir8872 you can get an anycubic photon for around 100 bucks, so even if it was to break after a year(which it probably doesn't), you could simply buy a new one and still be way under the budget. No need for some special discount.
@@lowaimnobrain when I wrote the comment, the photon zero was available quite cheap, but it seems that anycubic don't sell it anymore. Maybe refurbished you can still find one. A few months back I got a refurbished zero for 86€. I think the best budget option currently is the anycubic mono for around 160 pound(on aliexpress). Sadly over 100, but also better than the zero.
Technology is just improving now that the domestic market for printers was opened up a few years back with the cheap SLA printers starting to become the norm due to cheap screen technology.. only expect it to remain the same or improve. Fdm printers still have their place after spearheading the 3dp at home market, but just not high detail models. they're great for making armatures, terrain, etc. But you'll have a lot of work to smooth out print ridges and all that.
I think this is like the "Thin your paints!" of the minipainting community: "After washing put the printed part with supports into hot (as hot as you can handle stil keeping your hand in) water, leave it for a minute, then remove the supports." I basically never need to do any other support cleanup his way, just the odd on the model support for those hard to reach bits.
Stunning pj on these Pete. Simple but super effective. Might have to knick that for my HATE models... I think it would suit the tone of the graphic novels perfectly
Just started follow your stuff Pete. I've recently gotten back into painting after hanging up my stuff back in the 90s. I don't play anymore but I have started painting again with my teens. I will say that being able to kitbash 3d models is quite satisfying. Chitubox, Autocad Meshmixer, Microsoft 3d Builder. I use the 3d Builders feature emboss to create custom icons etc from png files. So shoulders with Chapter icons of my choosing.
Pre-supported STL files aren't always plug and play. It pays to run the sliced file through UVTools to catch unsupported parts to fix before you print them.
UVTools is overly aggressive and catches things that are not a problem, it depends on your setting, and what layer height your print at. if you print at .05mm then it wont matter if UV tools is finding an island at .01mm as it will be "merged" into the layer below it anyway.
Bestiarum now has extra arms bits with weapons, extra heads, shields, and so on, for customizing and kitbashing their models. Every monthly releas comes with them.
for the different variation in the troop selection you can, Flip the models and change the size by 5-10% This will create slight variation on mass troops so they wont look as jaring having 20 models that look the exact same.
I remember seeing Tabletop Time doing something similar. Something I'd also do personally is (if I have the files) change around some of the blades and helmets to create a little more distinctness.
I got a Flashforge Foto 9.25" 6k printer for $269 and use Sunlu ABS like grey because it's strong and cheap $48 for 2000ml. The two combined I can save enough printing a army in a weekend to pay for the printer and the resin. Also the ability to kitbash with 3D Maker is awesome.
Just stumbled on your channel and am really liking your content. Buuuuut we really need an army wide shot of this beautifully crafted army! Can you provide some?
the detail you speak of as the difference between plastic and resin models is all in the sculptor who makes the 3d file I assure you, my entire army is leagues above in detail anything Games Workshop has ever put out
Not sure if its been said, but one thing you can always do to get variance in your models is kitbashing. You can modify the files and splice together bits from other models before you even print them.
It's absolutely insane how quickly 3d printers pay themselves back for a wargamer or just a miniature painter. My first project was a 4 mega gargant army,I got models that I VASTLY prefer over the GW ones,files and resin costed me maybe 50 euros at most combined and boom,army worth 600 euros right there. Meanwhile my resin printer ''photon mono'' as well as wash and cure machine were both bit under 300 euros combined during a sale,so after printing just 4 models I was basically 250 euros in the green. That was few months ago and right now I'd be well into triple digits in savings.
Most definitely! I also think the time saving is something that is often overlooked. The actual effort that you put into printing and building those giants was probably drastically less time than building 4 Mega Gargant kits. Incidentally, a 3D printed Sons of Behemat army is something I'm currently working on too!
Archaon by himself is most of the price of a resin printer. Put the elite horse unit on top and you're there (at least here in DK). I bought the 'start collecting' StD box a while ago and thought I'd make my first AoS army, but man, those top kits are ludicrously expensive. Not to mention that Archaon is stupidly big and difficult to transport. Are you sure the files aren't just 'printer proof' and have a bit thicker detail for security? I've seen some pretty sharp prints from other channels. Outer Circle did a few videos and the ones he printed were more detailed on what looked like a cheaper resin printer.
Quite possibly, there are some very intricate models out there for 3D printing. I totally agree with your comments about transport though, I'd prefer to have chunkier, less detailed models if it meant I wasn't running the risk of everything breaking as soon as it left the display cabinet.
I print at .03 layer levels when printed it is perfect, it does take a little longer but worth it, also depending on the resin used, exposure times etc... Also the newer printers are better the new 4K printers are the same or cheaper then the 2k printers when they first came out at an affordable level.
only have a "regular" 3d printer, a flashforge, so it isn't really good at really fine detail but with a base, torso, and legs STL, I use it to get additional model out of Tau Fire warrior boxes, given how much extra bits there're in those boxes.
This is hilarious. I just bought a 3d printer too! Im done with gw. These last few recent controversies were the last straw over many many years of being taken for granted by them
At this point, the community should just make their own rule books and take back the 40k universe. GW can't even judge themselves what 40k is, may as well do it ourselves.
I kinda have this love hate thing going for you right now bro. I really don't want to spend the money to have an Airbrush station but OMFG I need one now to do a Korn Demon army like that.
I have almost finish 3d printing an Epic Steel legion force. Using free files, some i have edited to add details etc. It is a great time to be a wargamer.
For anyone wondering, this can be done even cheaper as he purchase the files. Also if your criminal like myself, you can find 1:1 copies of the original models. That is if you can grab them before GW removes them. Now people please please please sell your GW models, buy a printer and go crazy. This video and others like it should be a testimony to how much GW has been ripping you off. A $200 printer gives you equal quality as GW plastic when you’ve dialed it in. If we can a start a movement we can get both more people into tabletop wargaming (ie printing models for friend who dont think 500 armies are a worthy investment) and get GW to lower prices.
A tip for gluing your resin prints: Dab a little resin where you would the glu, then hit it with a UV torch for a few seconds. A quick bond as strong as the surrounding resin! Same technique for filling gaps in multi-piece figures: Dab resin in the gaps, hit it with the UV torch. Dab more resin, hit it again. Build up the resin in the gaps and it can be smoothed and sanded right away!

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Sure getting free stuff is nice.. but being beholden to all sorts of rules and censorship ain't, especially if it's a shady company.
GW's licensing agreement with content creators is insane and super one-sided.
After all their BS, I'd rather see this than the newest overpriced plastic bits a week early lol.
I was about to say this. Also he is probably going to be removed from the Community Articles, haha
Guess I’m getting a Saturn. Warlord Titan here I come!
Best thing about 3D printing is you can customise to your heart’s content before printing.
The Saturn has a pretty decent sized build plate too, should be perfect for those larger components!
So uh, did you end up getting one after all?
@@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_ Got a Halot one instead. Smaller but quick.
I imagine this sudden will to 3D print whole armies had absolutely nothing to do with recent events 😅

Same technique for filling gaps in multi-piece figures: Dab resin in the gaps, hit it with the UV torch. Dab more resin, hit it again. Build up the resin in the gaps and it can be smoothed and sanded right away!
Spicy! Love it!
