Hey bud you say you put some of your own supports on some of these. Could you do a little video on doing supports?:-) Thanks trying to print off my own bits for kitbashing a mix of paid and pre supported with some free stuff that is not supported. Thanks anyway :-) il look about either way, there are so many settings to learn and what puts down your base for supports ha

[@LetsKeepThePeace]

I used polyurethane varnish for gap filling as well. It is dense as honey so it fills perfectly. I had to use two "coats" to fill a gap like that.

If you were to scale up that mini, it would probably make a pretty cool looking Tarrasque for Dungeons & Dragons.

Man. I'm so glad One Page Rules is finally getting traction, especially seeing all these awesome paint jobs of the 3D model lines. The Aliens are some of my favorite, as they're super distinct and look great all painted up!

[@FacilityD20]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Bluecho4]

That the Alien Hives figures don't have four arms is a bit of a WYSIWYG problem. As is the limited weapons options (at least on the Etsy store). But I do like that their models have a distinct style. A bit farther on the Dinosaur side of the Bug-Dinosaur spectrum that Tyranids occupy.

I will throw this out there, for those who don't have printers yet, OPR's Etsy store prints are really nice and a great value too. There is some wait time tho if you are outside the UK, but if you don't have access to a printer, worth it if you like the sculpts.

[@FacilityD20]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Bluecho4]

I've been looking at ordering some Alien Hives minis from there for a bit. I've calculated that I can get a functional 500 pt army for $60. My only reservation is that some of the comments on the Etsy store say some of the figures (the "Zoanthropes" and "Hive Guard" alikes) come out smaller than their GW equivalents. It's not a huge deal, since I only need to put them on correctly sized bases, but it is a concern.

A couple of years ago my youngest came back from school, full of beans about a great new game that I wouldn't know anything about that used loads of different dice. I could already feel myself getting emotional, anyway it was called Dungeons & Dragons. I had to try to explain that I found D&D when I was his age 100's of year ago in 1985 and told him he could have my old bag of dice. I've not played D&D since my early 20's and still had the dice I had as a 12/13 year old. Had a little handing over ceremony of the dice bag and he is now the custodian of my lucky black d20. I did tell him if he loses it I am writing him out of the will.....

[@bioshock745]

I used to paint minis back in the late 80s/90s when you could get say 5 dwarfs or 3 human size figures for £2.99.... now i cant believe how much GW charge for a single plastic figure. they deserve to go out of business

[@FacilityD20]

Yeah man, I remember when a blister pack was 9.99CND and less.

That's what happens when you have a functional monopoly and a fanbase that has been indoctrinated into slavish loyalty. They can get away with charging prices that are absurd for even small numbers of minis.

I actually really like the OPR aliens aesthetic and IMO they stand on their own; price and ease of printing aside. (Also the games are great too, you should try them out if you haven't yet!)

I still can't believe GW is sleeping on 3D printing. I ended up making a goofy little Grot Tank army for the end of 8e 40K and it used 3 maxed out squads of Grot Tanks (think they came in 8 man maxed). Would have run me upwards of $1,000. It came out to like... $40 total, maybe $45 because of a failed tank or two.

Man, as soon as you busted out that Thraka Green color and started applying it all I could say was "that's beautiful". I don't play 40k as of now, or own a 3d printer but I love the universe and watching videos like this by creators like you. The finished model is gorgeous, green is my favorite color and I love the custom color scheme for your army! If I did play I would probably also use Tyranids, they remind me a lot of Zerg from SC2 when I dabbled with that game a few years ago. I bought the starter pack for the space marines and some Salamander Green paint from my local store, I want to paint them with my gf this weekend. And I would like to experience the game on my gaming PC through Tabletop Sim, since the models from GW are a little too rich for my blood at the moment and I don't have a 3d printer yet. I also love how you do this with your son, it's very inspiring and I hope I get to share my hobbies and passions with my own son someday. Love the vids thank you for the great content!

[@garfieldwithissuez]

So I love the video but you need to read the Material safety data sheet for whatever type of resin you're using most of them are fine to handle bare handed as long as you don't have sensitive skin but they can cause slight contact dermatitis, the is the main issue with most sla resins is that if they are ingested accidentally they become neurotoxic. Wearing gloves is good advice but primarily so you don't accidentally ingest the resin. You really also should wear full eye covering goggles when you're working with it because it can and has splashed in people's eyes and if it cures while in their eye it can permanently damage your vision.

[@FacilityD20]

This type was water washable, but still can burn you skin for sure. I have a pile of safety glasses around I will throw then in the facility too. Also if you are grinding or sanding resin mini wear a respirator because getting resin dust in your lungs is really bad.

[@Nick_Whiskey]

The biggest problem with the OPR Alien Hives models, which I learned way too late since I bought the files before I had the printer (due to an STL sale), is that those models have NO options, and many of the 4 armed Tyranid species only have 2 arms on the OPR models. This makes it very hard to represent something that should be simple; like a Warrior using scythes and a deathspitter - the OPA Warrior can ONLY be modeled with EITHER two boneswords (the only melee option the model has, despite the army book allowing tons of options) OR a generic gun... and that kind of blows. You are already using a proxy.. and now it's a proxy for a proxy. And this extends to a large part of their old catalog - several Vinci armies (their "version" of a steampunk Cities of Sigmar army) are just missing their weapon options. Every single Sargeant model, in every single OPA army, only has a single weapon for their sculpt. It's a 2 steps forward (the cost decrease, the incredible detail of their models), 1 step back situation (complete lack of options).

[@FacilityD20]

But the nice thing with stl files, throw them in blender and mod them before printing! But fair points.

[@Fughley]

[@JEGranberg]

I've heard some other printers state that you need to wear nitrile gloves, as latex gloves aren't protective enough to stop the resin. I don't know about vinyl gloves.

[@FacilityD20]

I have as well... so far I haven't had an issue, but I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to make an informed recommendation on the gloves... I got these because it was all our Hardware store had...

[@Sirdeathvids]

That looks really good! The t-rex appearance is missing the bug-like arms/claws of actual tyranids, but when a model is $18 it’s a worthy sacrifice

Even less if you are a patreon of theirs!

You should soak your prints in warm water to make the supports peel off much easier!

[@Bargeek]

Hey, just wanted to say I love your content, and really dig seeing your little guy getting into the hobby!!!! Quick question, did you add supports to the pre-supported model from OPR, or did you auto generate your mid supports and just manually add the heavies? Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work!!!

[@FacilityD20]

The supports were all pre-suports from OPR, however I did manually add about a dozen mid supports to the mini to make sure it was anchored down well. I find my printer has a lot of vacuum force, and it just take me a few mins to add a few anchors vs failing a pint hours in.

[@Bargeek]

@@FacilityD20 Awesome! Thanks for the reply!

[@durgum]

I really dig the stuff OPR has been putting out this year since Beasts for Fantasy and Jackals for Sci-Fi. I also appreciate they got rid of the sculpts they considered to be not up to standard. I think they should have included the Bugs in that. They just don't hold up compared to the new stuff they have. They are ok, but I hope they get them into the re-work schedule ASAP as they are my favorite army. Papsikle is too "Aliens" and Puppet wars is ok but the theme seems off. There are a couple cults guys that make amazing stuff assuming they have not been taken down but one model is close to two months of OPR. Still worth it IMHO but it misses on the cheap.

[@FacilityD20]

I know right, there are so many amazing sculptors out there now, it is hard to keep up.

[@Siathuan]

Love the colour scheme! Really hits that sweet spot between realistic and cartoonish! I am straight up addicted to Nids (I've got close to 20,000pts by now) but I just played my first game of Grimdark Future yesterday and I am never looking back! So many more options, alternate activation makes the game infinitely more interesting, and the models are gorgeous! And they're just releasing the 2.5 update, which is going to be more balanced - and unlike GW, you won't have to cough up £40 for a new rulebook and another £30 for each codex...

[@FacilityD20]

I have been reading the rules as well, we are gearing up to get some games in soon.

[@sareth90]

Painting tip: try to add some small details with a color complementary to your main palette, in this case it would have been cool some redish details, like the toungue or eyes. Also Yu are too heavy with washes, especially on the carapace, instead of all those washes why you doi not simply start from a darker base, then do only one wash with nuln oil?

[@FacilityD20]

Thanks. I started this army over 10 years ago and now in order to maintain the same color scheme I need to do it this way, or it doesn't match anymore. If I would do it all over I would change a lot of this to make this easier.

Great Vid. a big problem in the 3d printing world is when people generically put 3d printed models under the umbrella of "Warhammer rip offs" - some models *are* blatant rip offs and GW can most definitely claim copyright on them - but there are so many more model makers out there that make incredible models that you can use for a multitude of game systems - and they deserve so more credit than just saying they are making fake Warhammer. 3D printing has moved well beyond just making mini's for Warhammer. These models are a great example of that.

You do it all it seems, and you have such patience with little one! Subbed because of wholesomeness as well as all I am learning. If you could, help explain why you did so many washes? Wouldn't doing one over the other make the previous one ineffective? And what about the coat of paint after and then two more "washes"? I don't quite understand the why behind it, which may help me understand when/if I'd do the same. Anyways, thanks for the great content! I'm not worried about watching your vids when my kiddos are around!

Thank you for the kinds words. The two washes was used to darken down the overall color of the shell (Green then black) so that the green just show through a little bit. The skin was washed with sepia then drybrushed with a flesh/bone color to lighted it back up so to only leave the wash in the crevasses of the model. This was a theme I started years ago, and now I have to keep doing it this way in order for all the minis to match in the army.

I have used one for nearly two years and there is a learning curve that might make you feel you got screwed over but keep at it and you can do great work. I suggest looking up tutorials first and maybe buying a cheap printer first to learn and if you get a resin printer make sure you have the materials to clean and cure your print and safety supplies.

@@yoyoyo9669 Thanks for sharing that. It makes me happy to know you have a handle on our struggles, the hobby has been a source of peace for me since I was in high school to and now more then ever it still is. As long and my boys have in interest in my hobbies I will always let them take part. I tell them in the Man Cave (The Facility) there are no rules and no one gets in trouble (within reason lol) they love it out there.

@@FacilityD20 thank you :) that is just so cool! painting for me is very calming and sometimes i really need that lately i have just started my first army i really put effort into they are imperial guard or astra militarum as they are called now. i just finished painting 40 infantry men i have about 60 more to do! but they look so good! i am very pleased with myself i do them in batches of 20 so i dont get overwhelmed and work in tiny stretches i am in the process of moving with my family so once we get to the new place i will be setting up a small painting table and get at it! thanks for responding to me i really appreciate it! stay safe and keep up the awesome work! :)

[@FacilityD20]

Batch painting can be tough too, especially when you need so many units like in the Imperial guard, Nids or Orks, but nothing looks better then a fully painted army!

[@Onk3lM0]

It's a nice model and the price is great. But personally it's not a replacement for a Carnifex to me. This thing looks like a dinosaur, while Nids look like giant bugs. It's a whole different aesthetic.

[@FacilityD20]

OPR have some other Alien Hive minis that are a bit closer to Nids this one... have a look!

You mention the price of the file. Is it a one time use file or could you keep printing more copies with the same file?

Print as many as you want

Thank you

Here's a hot tip for you, instead of IPA use methylated spirits. You can get a massive jug of it for a fraction of the price of IPA from most hardware stores. It's toxic so you'll want to keep wearing your gloves and eye protection, but I find it much more affordable and available than IPA (at least here in ON) and it works just as well.

[@FacilityD20]

Interesting ill keep an eye out, I am willing to experiment with it.

@@FacilityD20 I recommend using Mean Grean. Its a standard house hold cleaner & degreaser so not that toxic, but very effective, it can be handled with you hands. You can look up videos on youtube of 3d printers using it. Like This: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp-qkqaMrNCag80

[@omaralbertosm7068]

Do you know if the elgoo saturn can print this cuality? (Btw all the primters give you an estimate of the print price?)

[@FacilityD20]

I have heard many great things about Elegoo Mars to the point that I would buy in. The resin cost is calculated in the slicer program, so the printer dosen't matter in terms of that. All you need to do is add thr cost per L of the resin in the program.

[@Lysander-kb4rx]

[@brutallica2944]

Dont get me wrong, Carnies are ny fav nid too and i love to share pdfs and 3dprint, anything i can do to make GW bleed. But that 3d model does not hold up to GW's original by any means. (my oppinion anyway).

[@DecimatedRanger]

What slicer program was that at the beginning? I got a Photon Mono not long ago and am looking to finally start using other programs than just the photon workshop?

Lychee Slicer. It is a really good program, I use it a lot these days.

[@Runeterra]

In your opinion Troy, out of the printers you’ve used and do use. What would be best for printing DnD minis? I’m new to DMing and love the tips you share! Hope to hear from you, thanks!

[@Runeterra]

Or could you even do a setup tour? Of everything you use when making models? From the printer, curator, air brush? You do such an insanely good job on tutorials and I’d like to base my stuff off of yours 😅

[@FacilityD20]

It depends on your budget of course. A resin printer for minis for sure, I would also recommend a wash and cure as well. FDM for terrain 100% like dungeon tiles. Right now I think the anycubic Mono printers or the Elegoo Mars are amazing for the price.

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Nice work! And bonus points for getting your little guy involved. I note that there are a few folks who bothered to comment, apparently in order to firmly cement the image of the stereotypical g0oSE StEPpiNg F@nB0y for GW. When one has to stoop to "you dont like to pay for GW stuff because youre poor"....it's easy to see why that particular segment of the fandom has to rely on random pickup games in stores. Well done, lads, keep building that toxic image. In any case, I liked the print and the paint job. Is the original Carnifex a great model? Yes, yes it is. One does not, however, have to be someone of lesser means to perhaps balk at the thought of giving anyone over $50 dollars for it (unbuilt and unpainted no less). Keep printing and building stuff. Cheers! ***Edited to add: If you are a GW fan and you are not stepping like a certain waterfowl, then game on, and enjoy your day with my complements.***

[@FacilityD20]

Thank you. GW makes great looking minis sure. Also, there are a lot of great looking STL files out there to print too. There comes a point when spending 2 grand on an army is just not a smart move, especially when you are into many other hobbies and games. Can I afford the carnifex brood at $110... sure, can I print 36 of them for that cost... sure can. If you wanted to find a basically exact copy of that mini to print then just google it, but I wanted to show another company, making great stuff that is close but not straight IP coping...

I recently bought a resin printer. I also bought the files for one pages rules sisters of battle. one liter of resin cost 35 pounds I printed one 10 woman squad of sisters of battle. Gameswork shops 10 woman squad cost 54 pounds. so with one squad and I am already saving money. I will get far more than 10 sisters from 1 liter :) I believe that once I have my 2000 point army printed I will have covered the cost of the printer , files and resin and then some. I will no longer be buying figures,

Exactly my point. Did you see my other video where I printed 1000 points of robots from OPR? I am doing a full army of those as well
