Are the Wargame Exclusive minis made from 3D printed masters? Or does someone traditionally sculpt the minis that go into the mold? (is it called vulcanization? I'm still pretty new to the mini creation thing)
If they are 3D printed, does anyone know the software, printer, and materials they use? Because those renders are awesome. And if the resin-cast miniatures are as good as reported, I'm impressed - the 3D printed stuff I've seen has way to much stair-stepping to my liking, and I'd assume that transfers to the rubber molds.
Thanks in advance, y'all.
I am 100% sure most of their products are 3D printed. One can see the characteristic striations on close inspection, especially on vehicles. I have no idea on their process, but most designers seem to use the Zbrush program.
I have had some small things printed by a company called Vision Proto in the USA (sallet helmets), and there is little to no stepping present on the product they sent me. 3D printing done by a professional company with a very expensive machine is quite impressive.
I think companies also do some cleanup of the 3D print lines. I've noticed on WGE cars that the SAME car can have 3D lines showing in different places, presumably from different masters for some reason.

All 3d printed items, masters and prototypes have print lines. The exception is SLS but then you have a textured piece that is very porous but doesn't have lines. Even DLP and SLA which print at high resolution have print lines. Usually, they are not visible to the naked eye and require a jewelers loupe to see the line layers. Vehicles and larger items will usually be printed at 100microns for speed and they will show print lines that are visible to the naked eye. Usually, that is removed through the casting process as you lose 5-10% of details or a few light coats of primer.
In some cases, the print lines aren't actual artifacts from printing, but from when they save the file to prep for printing it happens when they are reducing polygons to create a smaller file size. Depending on how they save or it was sculpted, it can result in what appears to be 3d print lines.
SLA/DLP print lines:
Most people are familiar with FDM/FFF 3d print lines which are much different and require a lot of sanding or primer+filler applications.

I wonder if they're making them preposterously over-detailed in order to avoid the wrath of GW (there's so much going on with some of these models you can barely tell what they're supposed to be)
I believe that's 3 of the 4 assassin types they've made now, or have coming soon. There's already a Vindicare, they showed off a Callidus recently, now they're showing an Eversor, and they even did the Culexus... as a Tau unit.
I want to see them do some other funky stuff for like Eldar or Genestealers!
Yes, I didn't see it at the web store nor on the Grim Skull Facebook page so I figured someone hijacked the thread with another company's work for comparison.
Have they started out Mad Donna for the nuNecromunda?
On the other hand, having a suicide squad-themed kill team could be interesting...
Love the sky last orc, though from the angle shown looks like he’s about to cast a fishing line (though a flying Orc with a saw-toothed fishing reel just sounds very Orkish...)
PS: Their Fabulous Bill replacement is rather excellent. I'm not much for the Chaos aesthetic, but it's a stonkingly good update if you like that kind of crazy detail.
Yeah the Servitors are superb. Not for 40K necessarily, but would be tremendous for games like Necromunda or other skirmish games (or heck, dioramas) for the 40K universe.
Does anybody have any scale shots of any Wargame Exclusive figures alongside GW figs?
I purchased two of their Tau figures a while back and was very disappointed with the size, they were way too big to fit in. Wondering if the more recent, non-Tau figures suffer from this too?
I have their original female commissar. I never got around to doing anything with it, but from memory it's a little taller and much slimmer than the plastic Cadian-Era guard.
She came with a snapped leg, and WE's response was 'You can always pin it!' so I never bought anything else from them, so couldn't say how their current models stack up.
Have to say, though, that I'm rather tempted by that not-Harley. She would look right at home in my Escher gang.

I have one of the Tau produced by them, seems an okay fit size-wise, maybe a hint big.
I have a bunch of their cars and some other random figures, my customer service experience was good- one half of a car had some miscast areas and they replaced the part.
I don't usually even report something like a broken leg if it's a resin mini (GW and Forgeworld, I'm looking at you...). Thin weapons that are hard to glue or pin maybe.

Bravo.
Does the figure have backstory? A client species of the Tau?
Thanks, not a lot of story thus far- I really like the idea of auxiliary races working with the Tau. I also have a worm-man and and a Scooby Doo in the team

This thread reminds me I wanted to buy a few more Tau, I had plans to run Assassinorum Execution Force using Tau vs. Imperium Looks like they have a Tau proxy for each assassin now.

This is a side by side comparison. Note the WE model is on a scenic base maybe positioned standing about 3-4mm a little higher than the GW Cadre Fireblade.
While I wish the prices were a little lower, I have to say these might be the best line of third party original figures. The Chaos stuff in particular is well done. The Noise Marine throwing the horns! A very nice level of quality detail. Cloaks and some details are too chunky or thick, but that might be a function of the medium (resin I'm assuming). But in may resepcts, GW could learn a thing or two from these sculpts.

Baby Yoda is looking good fun, surely fitting for one of the many grot rebel armies I see around. Love the engagement that Wargames Exclusive are seeking as well
Hi, friends ORK WAAGH POLIZEI GROT - https://wargameexclusive.com/s…/orks/ork-waagh-polizei-grot/ Grots don't know what discipline is but they know what is the authority very well. What can give grot a sense of power more than a rubber stick and a shining flasher screwed to the forehead of hefty and furious squeeg. Grot that has such a stick begins to acquaint with the discipline everyone who is reached by this stick. Check out really cool glasses that this grot has. He reminded us Stallone in Cobra (1986 film). Whom does he remind you of?
reminds me of the Ape Escape video game, I needs it
There's a bunch of gun servitors there too that look amazing
But 15 Euro each! 60 euros for a 40pt squad - that's going to be close to a record.
Maintenance servitors and the Immortals are only 25 euro for 5 models.
If they were half the price I'd get a set in a heartbeat. They are the best servitors I've seen (particularly top left), but they've not got the other half the unit (just claws) and £60 for a unit of 4 is just too much.
That's probably close to three boxes of the new horsemen/winged guys.
That's my one issue with their models, some of the female mechanicus models are just fantastic but I don't get why they have to do them all topless, I guess the market must be there for them...

They have started to do the full pin up and the more acceptable on a table version for the most pin up models.
Also! I only posted it on my Insta, but I actually painted a WarEx mini!
Spoiler:
(spoilered for size not NSFW )
Super tiny piece, and of course I tried rudimentary salt weathering on it ... Painted to match my buddy's Ork Kill Team, hence orange robes and unfinished base. Resin quality was nice, had no issues. I also picked up the Dark Mech chick, likely to serve as a third obliterator once I build the other two and up-gun her.
EDIT: Ohhhh right, I also own the Tau Not-Culexus, simply because I like it but ostensibly to command my Tau Kill Team. But that whole team is stuck in limbo.
Calling on my best Kid Kyoto impersonation, how much business could an assassin who specializes in killing R2D2 expect to get? Now, I’ll admit his head disguise works a treat, but still..
Finally finished Mandallorian so this figure makes a bit more sense now,
Very minor spoilers...
Spoiler:
The heroes have to escape by barge and the driver is an R2 unit, but when activated we see it's had arms and legs attached and is now 7' tall and buff. It's actually a really good scene.

Each of you who plays with Skitarii has a lot of bits and all we have the same question in our mind “what can I do with all this stuff?” Well, don’t rush to throw it away. If you keep all of this then our novelty is just for you!
Sets with 10 bodies and 10 backpacks + 25mm bases for each! All you need is to glue relevant arms and heads that have remained from the plastic kits.

Oh yeah, that actually a decent point. I mean I even have a set of secutarii Peltasts that I haven’t built and I think their guns would go great with these.
Really, more miniature companies need to be making sets of bodies for various factions.
The number of dual kits GW puts out that have double the heads and arms etc.
There’s money to be made for sure..

Man this is exactly my thought and why I finally bought these new bodies. The Peltasts will stand out for sure, I'll snag some pics once I get them and put some together.
My only reservation was checking bits resellers and seeing that just the bodies are as cheap as buying these resin bodies..
What are some other dual kits they can do?
There are a few AOS ones i wouldnt mind but i doupt those are options
The Ogryn/Bulllgryn ones would be good IMO

Isn’t about 50% of GW’s infantry sized range in dual kits and multiple weapon options etc these days?

The Immortals / Deathmarks kits are really nice. Adding clothes to Necrons gives them some nice visual variety, and I love the idea of using up spare gun arms from the GW kit like that.
Agamemnon2 wrote: ...and I love the idea of using up spare gun arms from the GW kit like that.
At that point you could also just buy another kit of Deathmarks/Immortals. They almost cost the same in MRRP (and nearly exactly the same if you buy them discounted online). I do like the general look of the robes, but if you want to go for a consistent look throughout your army, you just doubled the price of your deathmarks/immortals.
To market them effectively as a way to make the most out of GWs spare parts, these would have to be a good bit cheaper IMO. Not sure how feasible that is from a production vs revenue standpoint though.
The extra bodies may not be cost effective for an entire army, but they're perfect for smaller scale stuff like Kill Team or if you want a specific unit to stand out from its compatriots.
I'm still surprised there aren't more companies that make bodies to go with all the leftover GW bits.
Considering how much "Greater Good" stuff they do, I'd love to see them do some sort of kit that can use all those spare Tau arms you get in a Fire Warriors box. It's not like they're averse to female Tau already...

Yeah like the Tau infantry is just one arm should and head.
Which just makes it frustrating when you are left with guns you dont use

A different way of looking at the same thing is you're getting premium resin squads at a discount because you can use leftover gun arms you already have.

I don't disagree with your math, except to say you could also try sourcing leftover Immortal / Deathmark arms, as applicable, from fellow Necron players and the Internet.
There's a difference between buying chinese recasts because they're cheaper and buying boutique resin sculpts because they're better. Wargame Exclusive is very obviously in the latter category, mmkay?

Never bought that stuff. But it doesn’t look that good to be. Some of the poses are ropey and the details don’t look that crisp. For superior quality boutique stuff I would look at artel W. There stuff is amazing quality. This all looks meh to me.

Just had my first orders of both WE and Artel arrive, and first impression is that yeah, Artel has a slight edge in quality, but the WE models are very nice and hold detail well with little cleanup or pre-work required. In fact, of the two, Artel was the only order that has an issue worth sending an email over (bent sword with bubble preventing straightening).
So I would definitely classify WE as boutique, and to me worth the price.

That indeed would make it much cheaper too.
And like with FW, I guess you don’t always because it’s cheap.
Perhaps just to make sure you can use all your bits. Plus, If you bought two gw boxes, then you’d just have two full lots of spare weapons.

I got my first order of WE for christmas, wasn't expecting much quality wise, just some fun minis to break up a bit my army painting schedule. I was amazed by their quality, no air bubbles, almost no flash or mold lines, easy to put togetether, much better quality than Forge World for a fraction of the price. Sculpt wise I am not a fan of all of their sculpts but some of them, their not-Tau for exampe, have some gorgeous, full of character sculpts.
Many years ago I bought a bunch of WE models. If anyone remembers their "totally not a Custodes Terminator" that they no longer sell on their website. Even for one of, if not the, oldest sculpt it still holds up well. I didn't buy it because it was cheaper. I bought it because it added variety.
I got some of the not-skitarii bodies, and interestingly they were packaged in ‘Army Gainer’ packaging (rather than the usual ‘grimskull’ stuff), and the resin appears to be slightly different - their usual stuff is quite shiny, and this is a more matte, and feels slightly more brittle. Still good casts with no real mould lines/slippage/flash as usual, but just thought I’d point it out. Not sure if maybe the Army Gainer thing might be a new range for things to be used with left overs from other (GW) kits, like what people were discussing above...?
I am quite the fan of their not-Necron alt bodies for the Immortal/Deathmark box set. Lends some good variety and uses up the extra components in the box set.
The guns aren't new, I believe, but the turret base appears to be. Some of these are the closest I've seen to Quantum Gothic's stuff, if anyone remembers them.

The turrets are old stuff. The guns were parts of the razorback conversion kit (been there for a couple of years, if I remember well).

Genestealer cult Acolytes would be a really good choice, with all the leftover bits from just one box you could easily make an extra 10 models.
My other suggestions would be Neophyte Hybrids/Brood Brothers and Sisters of Silence.
Looks like Wargames exclusive are also working on a basing set of plastic Necron bases, Sounds like it might include 3 different sprues with the one in the image having 6x32mm, 3x40mm and 2x50mm bases.
That's hella cool. Not only as the product itself - which looks excellent - but as a portent of third-party faction-specific hard plastic sculpted bases for GW armies in general... hot damn. What a time to be alive.
Agreed, I've similar resin bases from Tabletop Combat, but with plastic models nad small contact points it means a lot of work with drills and thin bits of metal to pin every single model. If there are plastic bases on the market I'm going for them fast.
Did you try Araldite, Overread? That's what I used for plastic CSM on third party resin bases, and it mostly worked. Admittedly power armoured models have big feet.
Ian Sturrock wrote: Did you try Araldite, Overread? That's what I used for plastic CSM on third party resin bases, and it mostly worked. Admittedly power armoured models have big feet.
I'm more worried about things like the new walkers, which once you take off their base decorations have tiny tiny contact points (and you can't really keep the decoration on as its all rubble/ruin and doesn't blend with the base)
Yeah fair. And the Araldite definitely seems to need slightly bigger areas before it really sets right, on plastic-to-resin, than e.g. on metal-to-metal (where it can be a good alternative to pinning, for the lazy, i.e. me).
Heh, he can't even see because the top of his head is a brazier. But this is the right amount of grimdark that wouldn't look out of place as art for a splatbook.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand oh gak..
I want to put this model on top of that flying Sisters pulpit now.
Clearly he doesn’t need to as he’s already memorised it letter for letter. They only carry it around because it weighs thirty pounds and makes an excellent bludgeon.
Just noticed Wargames Exclusive are currently having a 40% off sale on all their car models, hopefully they're still planning to have a Black Friday sale this year because its a little strange they wouldn't just wait a few days and have everything on sale at once.

I agree with this, normally in a case you are just sat in a way which really lowers the profile so if the cars were too big, it'd feel more like gothic monster trucks.

Weird, the stretch limo is NOT on sale. And for some reason is not grouped with the other cars. I thought it was OOP until I stumbled over it looking for exotic IG figures.
The stretch limo is probably their best seller for GSC owners, that may be why it's not on discount.
I love these guys minis, the quality is great (I generally buy the greater good stuff). I did have to use some sandpaper and green stuff on the stretch limo though, the joints were a little too obvious.

So with the short version of the City Shark (I bought 3 of them a year or two ago to use as Achilles Ridgerunners) they basically send you the front and back (common to both the short/long versions) without the middle - the problem with this is that theres a female cavity in both the front and back end which needs the presumably male section included in the middle to connect the two together. Note that I don't mean hole, I mean cavity - theres basically about 5mm of wall thickness, if that, around the rim of each half and the rest is basically partially hollowed out. Theres basically no surface area to get glue on and absolutely nothing to align the two halves of the model together with. I've yet to assemble them, the only thing I can think to do is to drill out a hole in each half and stick a dowel through it and hope that I've aligned the holes closely enough for the two halves to align in assembly.

What about putting some glue in both cavities and then putting a big ol' ball of Kneadatite in the middle?
Before I got good with pinning, I used to employ green stuff in a similar fashion for some of the older, larger GW metals.

Yknow thats probably a much better way of doing it, gives a much greater contact area and allows the flexibility to allow the halves to eachother. I'd probably use something like procreate or something cheaper than green stuff as the cavity that needs to be filled is pretty large. Thanks!
