Sponsor Press Release:
Introducing 3D Print Manager


Posted: 2026-04-26 18:00:00


Hi there!

I'm a resin printer hobbyist with a file hoarding problem and absolutely zero regrets about it. I’ve built a new free tool for other people like me that might have a similar problem.

It’s called 3D Print Manager.

It lets you download files from any website straight into your library, organize with smart folders, preview models interactively, and manage your build plates from start to finish.

Use code SENDHELP for 50% off the pro tier if you want to support a fellow hobbyist.

Thanks for taking a look — I genuinely hope it helps!

How do!

Didn’t see an existing thread, so started this one, obvs.

During my trip to Tokyo, I of course visited the Gunpla store. Not the big one. That one is ticketed and so demands a better organised trip. But I did get into the ickle one downstairs, by the Gundam Unicorn statue.

I’ve never had a Gunpla before, so as well as opening a new topic, I’m looking for any pointers. Spesh as with my usual style, I went and got the Gunpla Store Exclusive. I also got a cheap one at the airport to use up the last of my paper Yen.

Dakka Daily Poll: What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.

What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.
Every measurement must be exactly perfect every time, if you move a space marine 6.01 inches in his movement phase you are cheating.
As exact as possible, the game will take a lot longer, but it will be worth it in the end.
Try to be exact, but don't sweat the little stuff, especially in the first turn or 2.
Measure exactly for the first guy in the unit, then just arrange the rest so they are in roughly the correct position around him.
Eyeball it.
Just put your guys where ever, we assume superhuman space marines can manipulate the space-time continuum.
To cut out all the boring tactical positioning stuff we just arrange our troops in melee at the start, no measurements needed.

How do!

Came up in the Bolter Recoil thread about just how bad the background is with numbers. From a Chapter having an unfeasibly low number of Astartes, to supposedly staggering losses in a single campaign being fewer than in WW2. Which whilst I don’t want to understate the bravery and sacrifice of all WW2 Soldiers, is somewhat silly.

Now, one number I do like is that the attempted census of Hive Trazior gave up when it had barely covered the upper levels at around a billion. Which gives us some idea of just how many people live in Hive Cities.

Everything else just seems really low. Though perhaps not necessarily the headcount of an Imperial Guard Regiment. There I’m happy to write off such an individual combat unit seeming low, because we know it’s but one of innumerable others.

So…where do we begin rescaling and renumbering 40K? What works for you, Dakka? And of course because it makes for more interesting conversation, why?

Dakka Forum: My "1 Million Miniatures Challenge" entries

Hey friends! Here, I'll be dropping some pics of my entries for the "1 Million Miniatures" challenge from GW (2025/2026), as I don't really have another thread to put this hodge-podge of different models. I initially pledged to paint 25 models, but as I am nearing that goal, I've decided to push myself and see if I can reach 50 till the end of May. While my cynical side knows all of this is just a marketing ploy by GW to sell us more plastic crack we don't need, I'll try to circumvent that pitfall by actually working on the backlog of old minis I already own. Ha, take that, marketing people! :D

Anyways, let's take a look at some pictures now. My first entries were these 5 pieces of the Aquila lander from the Battle for Macragge starter set from 2004:

Dakka Forum: Painting And 40k

Tangent from another thread-the 40k Armageddon Rumours one.

To make my stance clear, here in the first post:

-I don't like painting. Painted minis are cool, but I personally do not like painting them.
-I value 40k as a game (even if the rules can be kinda naff) and, as part of that, have no objections to grey plastic on the tabletop.
-If you feel different, that's 100% okay. If someone turns a game down because their opponent's minis aren't painted, that's totally fine. But you shouldn't impose your wants on others who don't feel the same.
