I 3D Printed it BEFORE Games Workshop released it!

I was so excited for Games Workshops new release that I decided to 3d print the new Warhammer miniatures before GW released them! Games Workshop announced new miniatures at Warhammer fest 2023 for Warhammer 40k 10th edition including a new Tyranid vs Space Marines Starter set Leviathan, Age of Sigmar Dawnbringers from Nurgle to Cities of Sigmar Freeguild and last but not least a new trailer for Warhammer Old World featuring a Bretonnian Paladin and Tomb Kings as well as confirmation on Old World base sizes. I was so excited for the new miniatures that I decided to use my Mars 3 Pro to 3d print a Warhammer army instead of waiting for it to inevitably be sold out before I could buy it.

[@iampetewyse]

My Empire faction was Sylvania, which is the "Transylvania" of the Old World. Yeah, it's technically the Vampire Counts, but making them an Empire force was a lot of fun!

[@WolfwithSword]

Resin printing never gets old 😆Often I do mixes of different resins depending on if I need strength or flexibility. Or if I need something perfectly transparent it's just magic - for example if painting something with a transparent part after printing in some transparent resin, just mask off that part as you paint the rest, then apply a clear coat on the transparent part (a UV protective one will help it last much longer). Perfectly see-through and glossy. Of course sanding it first will get better results, but for miniatures it isn't always necessary. Quick tip: I do recommend using the wash & cure machine for the washing as well, it is easier with IPA (90%+ for best, but I use 70% since it's easily available). Unless you're using water washable resin I wouldn't recommend washing with water before curing unless it goes to a specified waste disposal due to toxic resin potentially leeching out from the cleaning waste. After curing it should be fine to do anything!

[@esotabletop]

At what point in the process do you recommend removing the supports. At the start, after washing or after curing?

[@WolfwithSword]

@@esotabletop I find it is easier and has a lesser chance of damage to the model if done before curing. Doing it after the wash can be cleaner/safer too, but if its only a few supports it doesn't make a difference to do it before! It can still be done after curing, just depends on how careful you are and what seems good for your process. Also, if supports are really a pain to remove, after washing & air drying if you use a heatgun briefly (or after curing if it's really a pain, soaking in hot water) can make them easier to remove.

[@mitchcameron]

What resins do you use for strength out of curiosity?

[@WolfwithSword]

@@mitchcameron sirayatech blu or any engineering-grade for raw strength, but anything "tough" or semi flexible does well too. ABS-Likes are my usual go-to. It can be fragile but it's also way above standard resins. At those points it depends on what the model geometry is like. Also you can mix the resins, so a small bit of blu or some tough resin with an ABS-Like and it's miles better and not too expensive then.

[@mitchcameron]

@@WolfwithSword Amazing thanks 🙏

Came here from your main channel. I can’t believe the process it takes to make prints. This is an artists dream come true. It’s crazy how much technology is improving. Would love to see more art and 3D printing!

Cant understand why GW dont release just a warhammer game where the product is the actual files, like a video game, so one could print. Scalable business, no manufacturing costs.

[@Stygian_Anon]

Kislev! They only had official models for a short time, but they were so much fun. But for a more from the book choice, Sylvania. Because Humans in a Vampire Count army is super cool

[@rizzle4029]

I was never a Bretonnia player, but for Empire I always played Nuln. I always liked the black powder weapons they used, and just imagined them as very grimy and dirty

[@danieljvanrensburg]

Honestly, i started3d printing when i wanted to get in warhammer 40k so i printed a space wolves army with 2 and a bit bottles of resin, so 80 bucks, but if i bought them, it would have cost 700+

[@chaoskarlos987]

Lol thats a lot of resin. How many minis are in that army?

[@danieljvanrensburg]

@@chaoskarlos987 well its mostly primaris marines, 57 models, including 5 large minis(dreadnought, biker, and thunderwolf squad) and a repulsor tank with a stormwolf flyer, but yeah resin wise that's how manly bottles I've gone through printing that and other stuff, but I forgot there's 50 miscellaneous minis I've printed as well lol

[@mitchcameron]

Add some Siraya tenacious resin in with your normal resin (around 10% Siraya) to add some flexibility in, so your models aren’t so brittle.

[@wiganeldar]

How have i randomly come across this and ita actually the same ESO i watched playing skyrim maybe 5 years ago. Fair play!!

[@TwistedAlphonso1]

For Empire nothing beats Middenland. FOR ULRIC!!! For Brettonia I would say the Duchy of Bordeleaux because Duke Alberic de Bordeleaux is from there. I love the fact that he prays to both The Lady and Manann. Makes him unique. 8:45

[@dobbear]

The GW design is wearing almost full plate which gives it a chunkier look?

[@esotabletop]

I think it's more their style for miniatures to be allot THICCCER proportionally. Which often looks really cool to me tbh

[@Lunis11]

Great video and glad you got into 3d printing with such good results. It does worry me a bit because this feels like that spikeybits article that got a bunch of the great files taken down in waves because they publicized the new Admech transport files before it was available to buy and a ton of creators got dmca'd

[@JamesEarlCash]

It's not such a huge problem as there is a lot of different creators who keep releasing similiar stuff all the time but in different flavours. I don't think GW and other companies can fight the long fight with the creators. Moreover - a lot of stuff comes under their nose (Ghamak, for example) and looks great.

[@ecMonify]

i mean, this is just a generic knight model though, what can GW do against that? are they really that delusional to think they have the rights to all things medieval..? well, now that i think about it... :P

[@JamesEarlCash]

@@ecMonify That's why they are changing those more generic names to things like "orruks" and stuff. Still, they can try DMCA your models even if they are generic(some sort of scare-tactics by their lawyers I guess). You can explain to them that it's not really violating their IP and they will back off.

[@Lucion888]

GW can’t keep up with demand they should sell the files so you can print your own. Win win

[@AlainPilon]

You are deluding yourself. Most people who print their mini dont do it because they can't find a specific model. They do it because they dont want to pay GW, the mini shortage is just an excuse. 90% of the model available for prints are readily available at my B&M store. If GW sold models, people wouldnt want to pay for them either and would just torrent them. That being said, GW makes more profit out of their IP sales (for games) than miniatures so maybe it could still be viable for them.

[@hyperbolehyde]

Maybe I missed it, but did you open up the carbon filter to remove the plastic around the carbon block? A lot of people overlook this, and the filter doesn't work otherwise.

[@esotabletop]

...I'm not going to be unable to see that the GW version has his cloak appearing from under his armour. That's so fucking derpy.

[@alejandrodominguez7729]

as a medieval reenactor, i can tell you that its pretty common to wear that cloak (tabard) under the armour

[@esotabletop]

@@alejandrodominguez7729 This is not true historically. Typically knights who wore tabards would wear them over their armor since they would be emblazoned on the front and back with a coat of arms. They were also an important means of identifying friend from foe on the battlefield. By all means point me in the direction of anybody doing this differently though?

[@GloriousGrunt]

GW should 3d print I mean they did failcast minis ffs and resin prints are better then those.

Awesome video man! How many troops would you be able to print at once? Lol how long would it take you think to print your own 2000 point fantasy army?

[@esotabletop]

I could print about 8 troops for $2 in 2-4 hours (the amount depends on their weapons and how the printable files are laid out). If you had a printer constantly running you could quite easily have a full army in a full week of production I suppose. It would ultimately be a time/cost comparison compared to GWs official products. Obviously theirs also a stupid amount of options for 3d prints out their too.

[@TheStonehammerFiles]

@@esotabletop Battle Brother Sam has done that comparison already Excluding the initial costs to get started for the average person, printing minis is around 3 to 5 LESS than GW models. I can print a bretonnian knight of foot for around 10-20 cents US but that does not include the time I spent in the slicer, if I add in that even at a livable wage, $5 US max. Same price two Knight Errants were back in the early 2000s.

[@d-emprahexpects]

Say what you will about GW's problems with stock but their design team have artists with a very specific and unique style, their own sculpting language and I personally find it really really nice. We pay the models not for the plastic that goes into them but the countless hours of work from very talented ppl making them. Company remains a bit meh though, but let's not put the blame of the marketing team also upon the design team, ok?

[@zesidil]

Im always iffy on stealing artists work, make your own inspired sure.. but trying go 1:1 just seems skeezy

[@a-sheepof-christ9027]

People always think their designs are better than GWs. The truth simply is: they are not. Heroic scale is designed to be compact and comical, because it suits the dimensions better. Implementing designs that are too realistic ruin the aesthetic.

[@esotabletop]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Obviously a cohesive army designed by one company will have a more unifying astatic, weather or not it is from gw.

[@johnoneill3654]

Actually heroic scale was originally brought in for wargaming to make them more sturdy for when handled and moved around and easier to paint larger hands and heads. A lot of model makers do this for wargames. Doesn't stop people using truescale or preferring truescale from an aesthetic pov. Each to their own. No company should have final say over how someone prefers their models or enjoys their wargames.

Not really. The creator makes historical miniatures. For the specific paladin model: copies for personal use (1 time gift, not for sale) is generally allowed in most western countries. Also the miniature was not a 1 to 1 copy. So i think (and hope) we are safe 😄

"you can pre order the miniatures from the 10th edition box set and they're not even out yet" yeah that's what pre-ordering is.

The point is that you can pre order them from ebay before you can pre order them from GW (against ebays terms of service) The scalpers then use bots to buy all the stock as soon as the pre-orders go live, like just yesterday for this new GW set: www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/13n0dtv/its_1pm_eastern_in_us_and_its_gone_i_refreshed_on/
