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.
@@KaffiRawr nah, gw products are overpriced, I'll go for the 3d print since I can do stl files myself,
@@ekulerudamuru Ye. Not saying it's unreasonable to do it. Just that looking only at money spent won't be a fair comparison in deciding what's cheap.
@@KaffiRawr MG Gundam cost less, better engineering, fit perfectly on eachother no glue required ever, with higher quality Plastics, colored plastics, glass plastic all in one box for much much cheaper price.
@@KaffiRawr nope, I can make lets say a 40k points army cheaper than buying them for they're actual price
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.
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
I agree. Especially for this, it blurs the details.
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.
hiding the paint may have been intentional. it looked like he did a really quicky job on the painting in this video.
Agreed
Couldn’t even tell if these were actually painted due to the lighting
Games Workshop lawyers will be sending you a cease and desist and opening a store right across your house.
Is Archaon's three-headed mount going to get a rider in the future?
You would have to be a real Buttermilk Bob to not want to play against that army. It's amazing.
Cheers.
Thank you very much! I shouldn't have any problems playing against the guys at the store I go to, they're all just there to have fun with the game.
Yes, game.
Let's all remember that this is a game.
Have fun. Post pics.
Pete is so inspiring. Just watched his Lion to Curze conversion. Just outstanding
Rincewind? I see you are a man of culture
You've done such a simple scheme but it works so well. Looks like they're standing over lava in the moonlight.
Bought a Photon Mono 6k ‐ The quality is insane. Printing a Wraithknight for $5 that looks better than the GW is gratifying beyond belief
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.
Yeah Chaos is pretty much ideal for 3d printing... great and clever way of painting as well 👍🙂
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.
Added to my favorites, great video :)
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
Do you have any plans to expand your raptors killteam?
Yes at some point, I'm hoping that we see some better Kill Team options for SM (kind of the like the Krieg and Kommando rules) which will give me back my mixed squad 😢
Do you heart that GW?
The the decades and decades of disenfranchising your consumers with worse and worse business practices that are FINALLY going to pay off.
Your time is up old man, I hoped it was worth it.
More 3d printing videos
Great job man the army looks great. 👏
I printed up a Sklavem Army with the WHTW2 3d files. They look amazing and the only one I don't have is the doomwheel.
That demon prince is just 👌
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.
Great job! Looks brilliant 👍
Awh man, I have a mars 3 pro, and while I love the quality I get, looking at you working with that large build area in the slicer makes me so jealous.
Sameeeeeeeeee, It really hurts when I’m printing fucking chaos knights
I can't see why so many people use green stuff to fill gaps when milliput is so much easier to use
What's the name of the app in the beginning of the video?
Love to see 3D printing
Been working on some warlord titan files for when i get my ender pro, also love the color scheme for this army
I love rincewind great character
Sad that you didn't convert the arkeon proxy and add a rider, especially considering your conversion skills are top notch. Other than that this is an awesome video and you ended up with an epic elite force!
I keep looking at a 3d resin printer but I had a bad experience with the plastic one and now it sits unused but a resin one I could use for more than wargaming miniatures
youre so bloody good mate
Uh-oh. GW isn't going to be happy about this.
...and? They can either sue all their customers into oblivion or accept that it's gonna happen. 🤷♂️
@@michaelsorensen7567 or embrace it and name their own printable files. Adapt or die
@@michaelsorensen7567 yeah they do not own miniatures, they do not own armour, they do not own horses, they do not own sci fi or fantasy.
But but where's archaon??? I see his mount but no archaon... hahaha joking I've gotten into 3d printing an I love it so much for wargaming hobby
"chaos corrupted Rincewind"... omg, just imagine... :D
What type of resin did you use here?
Oh wow, usually I really struggle with removing the supports even before fully curing. How did you get them to remove so easilly? Great video.
Never been this early!! Love the video already
Dear lord these are gorgeous. Sculpt and paintjob.
Just good work.
Would it be wrong to ask for a video in OSL , namely a couple way to do it without an airbrush?
Definitely not! Have you seen my Plasma Glow video? That might be a good place to start: ruclips.net/video/fRYM2sughuo/видео.html
@@PeteTheWargamer thank you I needed a tutorial of that exactly!
Would love to see an in depth how to video on the 3d printing.
Next time you might want to try Vallejo Plastic Putty (the one in the tube) to fill the gaps. I find it saves me a lot more time compared to the whole process with regular green putty.
Milliput is better than either, easy to apply and can be sanded afterwards
I'm imaging Patrick Bateman narrating this video.
Should also be fairly easy to get some wings on the 3 headed beast
I'm on the fence about it. I'd LOVE to get a printer and make my models. My issue is, I want the official GW Models, and not some model I found on the internet that RESEMBLES the Official Models. And where can you even find files or scans of actual GW Models. I know that it's not as simple as googling one since GW cracks down on them, but I literally haven't heard anyone talk about direct scanned models of GW's for printing. Like someone has to have the files somewhere to share. Right? Or are they just literally nonexistent
thats cause if you even get a cunt hair too close to their(GW) prints they sue you and take down listings. the closest ive seen is spacemace 69
Hi, brilliant video and the models and paint scheme look amazing. What resin did you use for the models? Thanks!
3D printer goes brrrr
Hey, I’m interested in trying something similar but with a skaven army. Are there resources to do such a thing? (Sorry I don’t know much about 3D printing, but a buddy of mine is)
Very nice! I'm thinking about getting a 3d resin printer myself!
@Pete The Wargamer I've been lookin for someone to do this for me if theres any interest. Im not too tech savvy and obviously there can be no payment involved 😉.
What gloss varnish did you use through the airbrush?
Spicy! Love it!
Nice work. I kinda want to try the 2 tone scheme.
You should! It's a pretty "cheaty" way to paint an army quickly that still looks pretty good
So is this allowed or seen as like unfair? Would I have to print some stuff for my opponent to use? Etc etc
What do you mean by unfair?
@@PeteTheWargamer I dont want to speak for him, but I assume he means that being able to print more models for cheaper than it would take for somebody to buy them means you have a possible numbers advantage. To which the obvious answer is to use fewer points worth of models than you have models for in alignment with your opponents army.
Great video by the way, Pete. Big fan of your channel.
If you glue pieces together before they cure, then there should be way less gaps as the curing process can cause slight changes to the shape of pieces.
What resin did you use for your prints?
40.000 people already watched this!!!
So which 3D printer do you recommend?
Please make more painting videos in future. And printing videos. And just videos.
A bunch of butthurt comments here already. I loved the vid man!
It's a cool army, I don't think the sculpts looks as good as the real deal though.
I'd rather have an army like this that's significantly cheaper and never play at a gw sponsored event , every other non gw event in the country would be fine with a printed army as it will be the future .
Look forward to getting a printer.
When you put a "Pleasing amount of skulls" on the base, I immediately agreed and disagreed with your assessment. The amount was pleasing, yes, but there is never enough skulls. Skulls are like blood, The Blood God cares not where it comes from, as long as it flows!
So I’ve wanted to ask you. Can we use your paint schemes on our own RUclips projects or would you prefer us to make our own paint schwmea
*Paint schemes*
Once you lay the paint down it’s your scheme. The guy cant exactly say no in a video where he rips.. i mean prints his army.
Go ahead! I put out all my guides for free with the intention that people can use them in whatever way they see fit.
@@PeteTheWargamer Ss far as i know, they get really pissy and aggressive if you mention warhammer in title and description (the trademark is the only thing they can appeal to), so might be a good idea to change it to "fantasy wargaming" or similar. Everyone knows what you're talking about, but there's no legal basis to take down the video.
cool
"[...] to be table-top legal".
Who cares I say as I shrug my shoulders.
I only use airbrushes for transparent inks, their useless for any amount of detail imo... good looking models though
GW on suicide watch
This feels like an unintentional middle finger at GW.
Edit - Also, could you do a video where you play with yourself? IE use both armies against one another.
Scratch that, this is a very intentional middle finger.
Great video.
3d printer go brrrrrt 😁
No 3D printer and no airbrush and no money
Its cheaper to buy printer, resin, some STLs, paterons or the tens of thousands of free files than it is to buy a single good sized army. I have my printer a couple of weeks now and it has saved me so much money per month by the end of the year it will pay its self off and I am not printing all the time either. Just printing what I need, painting some stuff off etc.. Also there are lots of competitions out there with different companies printing and paint up some of their models you can win anything from resin to other new printers super handy to have lots of pateron stuff as this as well, I dont have a airbrush either dont need one, but it does make some things much faster.
3D printed model can have much more detail than any plastic kit. You just chose low detail models. Something from Archvillain games for example would look infinitely better compared to Ghamak stuff.
Is this legal?
"I'll make it legal"
What? Why and how would it not be? There are countless companies that make files and sell them. Also what about it would be illegal and against who?
bump
I really like the models and paint scheme. I am 50/50 on 3D printing, I understand why people do it and I'd never refuse to play someone either if they had a printed army. I dunno, I just find it abit dodgy.
seems like a good future to be part of though. GW can either get with the times and sell digital models for people to print, or get left behind. When i first thought about 3d printing, it was thousands of pounds to get started, now you are talking about the same price as a mid range microwave. 5 more years?
Well someone's just been removed from gws "send stuff for review" list XD but great video none the less
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to 3D print everything instead then 😂
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
I imagine this sudden will to 3D print whole armies had absolutely nothing to do with recent events 😅
Join the dark side. 5 2000 point armies with only like 3-4 bottles of resin
@@alecmiller5296 Can you play with them at game shops/tournaments?
@@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.
Thank you for this tip 👍👍👍
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.
who cares? Frell Gdubs.
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 :)
Me too! Doing something a little more "artistic" and less realistic was a bit of a divergence for me, but it was fun to try out a new technique.
@@PeteTheWargamer plus all the time it saved. great to know you can speed paint an entire army and have it look super great
@@PeteTheWargamer Always great to hear a creator having consistent fun with his content.
I think we can safely assume you didn't sign the NDA :-)
Haha, well deduced.
@@PeteTheWargamer No better way to make that clear - well played!
GW has taken a dump on their fan base for far too long...
When filing or sanding down resin, I'd recommend wet sanding to keep you from breathing in any fine resin dust.
These are so spiky you could scatter them on the floor as crow's feet to keep away burglars
Alternate title "I spent $100 on a 3D printed home security system"
@@PeteTheWargamer they would probably only be a one-time use thing, since I don't imagine they are very strong
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.
Glad to see you do this my friend
Thanks, I had fun doing it!
be careful Pete, GW Adeptus Legalitas can drop pod any moment at your house to sue you. That and the GW Stasi.
A.K.A Channel Exterminatus
@@PeteTheWargamer Stay where you are. The Ordo Hereticus will be with you shortly.
Loved the colour scheme you went with Pete, Very effective.
and now the wave of fanboys come to denounce you for using 3d printing is to come shortly
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.
You should turn tgis into a series where you print an army for every faction
I think that Demon Prince definitely deserves a little more painting for certain. Still, amazing job!!!!
"Chaos corrupted Rincewind" brought a smile to my face
Damn, looks like I'm getting a 3D printer. Now how do I sneak it past the wife....?
The fact it will save you hundreds if not thousands over the next couple of years 😅
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.
bisexual lighting
I prefer plastic kits and also don't have space or money to invest in good 3d printer in one go so I stick to stuff that I can buy in my FLGS but I am not suprised that due to the recent GW business practices more people go for 3d printing. I just wish that instead of this killing the company (would be a shame if all that lore and setting go for the likes of hasbro) it will make GW change and respect their customers.
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.
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.
@@HannesMrg I only see those for £250+ Any tips?
@@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.
