I'm sorry. For miniatures, FDM printers have nothing to do with resin ones

What FDM printer do you use, and do you have any recommendations for someone completely new to 3d printing

I use an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro. its a great machine and is a reasonable price, but as with most 3d printers requires a bit of experience to operate to its fullest, though its also quite forgiving if it were to be someone's first machine. I do think the new BambuLabs A1 and A1 Mini look like they are 100% the best beginner friendly printer, that can get you printing fast and easy but are still very capable of giving you access to dive deeper when you're comfortable, I haven't tested myself but there is some great content covering them. I HIGHLY Recommend checking out "Once In a Six Side" he's done some great videos covering the A1's and has done follow up video on how to get some great FDM from those printers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4GanmB4mLVjm8k

they realy look good. for the rust: try to put the rust on places where the metal would not get touched that often and where it would have more contact with water or other wet objects. for example: rust on the edge of a blade does not makes so much sense, when the weapon is in use. but rust on the spot, where the wood of a spear is conected with the meatal tip would look better. you also could try to thin down the rust effect color a bit more, so the paint behaves more like a wash and gets easier into the deeper parts of the model, where more rust would be found.

It looks brilliant! I think you should go in Legion order, but I also can't wait to see what you do with the White Scars, Salamanders, and Raven Guard. Just a clarification on the Dark Angels lore, though. Caliban was originally a forest world inhabited by fantasy monsters. The knights, who later became the Dark Angels, hunted the Great Beasts. During Luthor's rebellion, Caliban was destroyed Alderaan-style, with only the Dark Angels fortress surviving.

Awesome! Cool to know those details on Caliban, makes the angel's "knightly origin" make more sense, they definitely seem to be the most "fantasy themed" legion for sure.

It always feels like people get overly dramatic about "Muh layer lines" when you have about a dozen ways you can address them in FDM prints if they bother the person printing that much. If your choosing FDM because its cheaper or more convenient that obviously comes at a cost and that cost is putting in a bit more effort on print settings and miniature cleanup, assuming you arent just looking to put something on a board and arent concerned with how pretty it looks.

Short answer: No Long Answer: If you don’t mind layer lines so thick and chunky that the models like like they were built in Minecraft, then sure, they’re fine. Just know that everyone who compliments them thinks they look like crap even if they’re too polite to tell you.

I've been printing fdm minis for a while now, and I'll definitely try the blender tip, it seems easy enough to unscare me of this software 😅 The game changer for me has also been to change nozzle. Using only .4 nozzles is like buying a power drill and using only 1 bit with it. I heavily recommend everyone to buy a cheap kit of nozzles and experiment on your printer. Personally, I switch nozzles depending of the use case : .3 for miniatures (.2 is useless on average 3d printer, it cranks up the print time A LOT without too much improvement on details), .4 for terrains and vehicles, .6 for everyday life 3d prints. Switching nozzles is super easy and takes like 1 or 2 minutes maximum. All those on KZbin that recommend you do a whole mechanicus ritual to change nozzle is bs. Just preheat, remove filament, unscrew, put a new one and you're good to go. Hope this helps. Again, great video !

Some of these are! This campaign spanned long enough that I had access to a resin printer at the start of the campaign but didn't later on (due to being in a smaller space). But a few of the minis are printed in FDM - I've found it easy enough to print HeroForge models in FDM as long as your smart with designing the character to be a bit sturdier (having intersecting parts helps with this! - swords being supported by clipping into cloaks, things like that)

I used to play Warhammer Fantasy Battles and had (and still have) a huge Skaven army. Now I’ve moved on to D&D but still love to paint up minis. You have done an incredible job with this one and the mini itself is full of character. Do you varnish your minis? I think I would want to protect the paint job if I had painted it as good as you did. I use a matt varnish for most of my minis but they are always intended for game play so liable to get some abuse😊

I like your ideas. I use ABS with 25% fan. Squirt down with acetone in a needle, seals layers and makes it very strong. Try printing two or 3 models at a time for cooling. PLA is weak in thin extrusions. PETG is stringy. I print with many shells for strength. I put the model in Meshmixer, Increase size 5 times make solid, then add .1mm offset to model. Then I rescale back to 32 mm scale. Push the maximum edge of the scale for FDM success. This will thicken the model an hopefully not ruin the detail too much.

Awesome looking! Im painting a Local Legends green dragon, thats similar but not exact to D&D greens, not evil even just prankster😂. ❗️Keep in mind new designs of a race of dragons ( dragons a species ) like black, does NOT need to mean replacement of older designs. Think of it as phenotypes. Not all black dragons look exactly the same. And many more monsters in the new MM? Remember 1 dragon = 4 monsters due to 4 life stages. Also wish they add GEM dragons aaand missing second 5 of true dragons from Chromatics, Gem and Metallic families. I want to see yellow coastal salt dragons with win setup like a brass or coppers. Orange jungle dragons and purple mid-upper Underdark dragons in which the deep dragons are a lower underdark sub-species of.

It's interesting that you did green webbing for the Dragon, but went with purple eyes. I tend to prefer purple webbing for black dragons, as I feel it keeps them closer to truly being a 'black' dragon, and avoids potential crossover with green dragons aesthetically.

My black dragon came from Rescale as well, from the Legendary Chromatics line they redid last year. Went black with grey uppertones, and used a sickly Nurgling Green on the wings and membrane parts on the spine, that model had bulging around its cheeks like it had acid sacs up there, so i used tesseract glow and it made it look like the acid was glowing through the thin skin of its cheeks. Had the same color leaking around its mouth and tounge, practically dripping with deadly substances.

The new Gold dragon is taking its inspiration from Chinese origins, giving it a Lung Dragon figure. Rescale is reprinting their metallic dragons line and have already redone their Silver Dragon and Brass Dragons with a new look. In the wake of the 2024 changes they might be updating their gold design to fit the new look! Im really excited for the coastal oceanbound bronze dragon, easily my favorite of the metallics.

I don't think the lack of detail on WizKids is a quality issue, but an unfortunate stylistic choice. Many of the minis are based on illustrations from the books, which are drawn with more or less realistic proportions (idealized proportions yes, but trying to be a realistic image of an idealized person). But realistic proportions look like crap at 1/72 or 1/54 or whatever it is these days. You need something that looks more like a caricature, because otherwise the details just turn into blobs.
