Any type of theme - fantasy, sci fi, modern, art,



Please feel free to ask for any that you're hunting for

Hit me with your favourite Giant minis, folks! Especially anything with a Norse/viking aesthetic, or with unusual weapons or other unique elements. I've got the Frost Giants from Archvillain Games, a skeleton giant from Cursed Forge and a zombie giant from RM Printable, but that's somehow not quite enough! Also looking for Giant-adjacent stuff like trolls, ogres, half-giants ect.

Titan Forge had a norse themed patreon earlier this year. It had a giant (one on the right), as well as a boat and a building. I think there was also a troll in it too.

The other one in the picture I think I found on thingiverse.

My current white whale is a good set of modular desiccated undead draugr or revenants. Like, beef jerky style undead, along the lines of Skyrim Draugr.

I've looked hard at Asgard Rising's draugr sets, but they're more akin to viking skeletons than what I'm looking for.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the Titan Forge one... which is real dumb, as I own that set and even part-printed that exact model on my Ender aaages ago now I think of it. The other looks good though, I shall have to try and track that down.

They're pretty basic models, but are these any good?

Duncan Shadow has a bunch of Giants
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/DuncanShadow/collection/giants-and-gargants



Also note the MMF Black Friday sale is in a few days so there will be a huge bunch of codes on their site for 50% discounts and the like for different creators

I feel like I may be experiencing a false memory, but I swear I've seen an STL for this somewhere.



Has anyone else seen this anywhere or am I going crazy?

Here is one I got that made a super great ogre: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/txarlifactory/northern-ogres-stl-files?ref=discovery&term=ogres

The KS is over but you can still download the free tribe ogre towards the bottom of the page - the entire line is superb! I printed the sample giant-sized on my Saturn and came out great.

Ooh, that is a nice one. Should work nicely as a Hill Giant that isn't just the usual Big Caveman design. Thanks.

Yeah, I not only enlarged to the size I needed, but stretched him a bit taller and he came out really well.

Reddogminis.com has some other Tau stuff. They have a patreon too, only $10 a month for each of the three options (Tau, Black Templar’s and his own Mecha Front game). I backed his mecha Front minis years ago, great models and castings.

This months Tau is for skyhammer turrets I believe.

That's an Eldar turret though. Forgeworld variant for the wave serpent?

Hi all,

A cool 3D stl files project for Sci-fi scenery just actualy live on kickstarter :

Here's one of two that Ghamak has up on MyMiniFactory:
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ogre-giant-2-persian-support-ready-192020
These were part of his fantasy Patreon last month; the theming is Persian Ogres, so perhaps a bit niche. Ghamak does pretty good work; I'm subscribed to his Sci-fi stuff on Patreon (where he's finishing up his 3-month run of Japanese-themed Drukhari).

And now for something I'm looking for, my friends: Crusaders. As in the Ministorum kind with the shields and swords; the actual GW ones are kinda crap looking IMO, so I'm trying to find some good 3d-printable alternatives.

Heresy Lab have a bunch of Inquisition/Ministorum types, you might find a few in there that could work, depending on how many you need.
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Heresylab-Scifi

This one seems pretty much directly comparable, though I'm not sure there are any other matching designs. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-hl155-185692

I've not printed nor bought any, but I've heard that Heresy Lab make some really detailed models that, at their scale, really push the limits of 3D printing in terms of getting the detail to print and be supported and be painted once printed.

I would agree with that. Here is one of Heresy Labs models I did earlier in the year.





They are Definately super detailed with lots of tiny projections that I very much had to be happy with “good enough”

I am just getting into 3d printing and started this month with titanforge amd cyberforge on patreon. There is a two headed giant in the november titanforge release

So i stumbled across this- and i thought it was pretty cool, i am thinking about picking up some of the minis as a 30K kill team or possible use in infinity

https://www.etsy.com/shop/NyobiumGames?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=986001946








If you know somebody with a 3d printer i am also sold on this terrain site for STL files.

They have the 40K scale dawn of war buildings for marines, sisters, guard and mechanicus as well as tons of stuff for star wars legion-

https://www.warscenery.com/shop

I like Matstation. I picked up one of the sets just for the spider tank to convert into a spider rig for my Van Saar gang



He goes back and sorts file problems when they get noticed and resends you links to the updated files, so I have a lot of time for the vendor.

I'm looking for Skyrim minis, mainly because the lack of Dragonborn for Call to Arms isn't enough for my taste, but also because I want some in 28/32 mm for other games.

Also: Mass Effect models.

Thingiverse has quite a few mass effect models. There are a couple of nice Tali models, some Krogan, a turian and a few Kodiaks and Makos.

I found those pretty early in my search, and they have the exact same problem I'm trying to circumvent that the Oathmark Revenants have - withered skull faces and big muscley arms.

I'm being really picky here, but I really want something with a stringy, withered look like the Skyrim draugr, though they don't necessarily have to be quasi-Nordic like the Skyrim ones. I just want the half-mummified beef jerky look.

Ooh, that's more like it! Much better than the crummy GW Crusaders. If I could get different poses it would be perfect, but honestly I'm probably only going to need a couple of these so it should work! Thanks for the heads-up!

Anybody know a source of 28mm French WWII era cars and trucks?

Thingiverse delivers again

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4325845

Also if you are after ww2 era stuff more generally, there are loads of British, German, American and Russian trucks and staff cars in the sets by m_bergman
https://www.thingiverse.com/m_bergman/designs

They are in 1:100 and 1:200, but are easily derailed enough to be scaled up to 28mm, maybe with a few extra gubbins added for detail.

I've started to print a small (heh) Epic eldar army and I'm printing the incredibly detailed models from lord_chronos... and boy are they good!



The detail is insane, and the sets are very reasonably priced (plus free grav vehicles), in case someone needs some smol space elves:

https://cults3d.com/en/users/Lord_Chronos/creations

(plus, the guys has recently seen his stuff pirated and was discouraged, so I'd like to show some love).

If you've got a computer that can handle it, it's worth taking a few hours to learn the basics of rigging and posing in Blender. No more single-pose models after that, throw in some basic Meshmixer cutting and sticking and you're in digital kitbash heaven with your whole STL library!

And don't forget the magic that is mirroring! Its like being able to extend the lifespan of underpants by wearing them inside out! (caution, wearing underpants longer than one day in any configuration may affect your ability to talk to civilised people)

Sometimes you have to be careful with mirroring, eg mirroring units holding shields is fine so long as you don't mind them swapping hands holding the shield; or if the core body is separate and the arms are able to socket to either side.

Also keep an eye on any writing on the model.

Otherwise yep mirroring is a great way to help get more visual braek up with a larger unit or even just two big models.

Here's a request: I know about Monstrous Encounters (and love them) as well as Davikdesigns for old school Guard, but does anyone know any more dedicated Old School model re-creators? ESPECIALLY old 2nd edition metal daemons!

Does anyone know of anything similar to the Wargame Exclusive Necrocyborg kits? Something that allows the extra bits from a unit sprue to be made into additional units? Doesn't have to be for necrons specifically, just anything that allows a kits extra bits to be used.

I've seen one or two but they were doing 8-15mm scale stuff
eg https://www.patreon.com/forestdragon

Me again, now on the hunt for Star Wars Legion stuff (because my whims are fickle!). I'm familiar with the better-known makers like Skullforge, Dark Fire and Seb Miniatures, but other than them Thingiverse and Cults turn up a lot of low-quality files or unprintable video game assets ect. Any era is good, and especially any character minis of a decent standard.

You already named a few. There are also: Madox, Warblade Studio, Black Remnant, and a few one off files like free Cara Dune and Mando from Velrock Arts, and others.

Just found this 3d print service in Germany. they have all the war scenery terrain stuff along with some i have never seen before



https://urban-artworx.de/produkt-kategorie/terrain-for-your-tabletop/warhammer-40k-terrain/gothic-sanctuary/

Does anyone know where I can find a model similar to the mechanical floating 5 faced beings from a popular eighties cartoon?

For more details, the mechanical beings float and have an egg shaped body with 5 mechanical tendrils that sprout from the bottom. The five faces generally represent Anger, Wrath, Wit, Wisdom, and Doubt.

I’m not looking for a straight up duplicate necessarily. Just something similar in concept that I can print (or have printed) to fit on a 50mm round base.

I don't know what size you are after but they do have a quintesson toy figure.



https://www.ebay.com/itm/184751033018?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338678874&toolid=20006%26customid%3Ds%253AGS%253Bgc%253A12b49781f27b12e69929f6447f162920%253Bpt%253A1%253Bchoc%253A1&customid=s%3AGS%3Bgc%3A12b49781f27b12e69929f6447f162920%3Bpt%3A1%3Bchoc%3A2&msclkid=12b49781f27b12e69929f6447f162920

A search for Quintesson stl gives this as the first image result

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/quintesson-transformers

There are others in the list as well.

Awesome! Thanks for the fast responses and the help. Now to find someone with a resin printer that can scale it down to the size I want. My FDM printer will not get the detail I want in this case.

Thanks again!

Hey all!

I am looking for some chaos spawns. They do not need to resemble GWs in any way but any mutated blobs you can think of. It is for an Iron warriors army, so some kind of mutated armour stuff would work as wel. Maybe someone knows some good looking spawns

Hello, I'm looking for a 3D model of the Doom fighting scene. It was rendered in red-brown as I remember
Thanks in advance

Just found it. https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/doom-combat-scene There is a Sketchfab link too

Sorry for double posting, couldn't insert the link somehow

I'm looking for possible proxies for Beyond the Gates of Antares units, if there's something along those lines out there.

That said, I'm not really looking for 1:1 replacements or anything, just stuff that might gel with the sleek, futuristic aesthetics that most of the game has, but OTOH I'm thinking about using Pipermakes drones for virai dronescourge, so you know, as long as it looks cool

Concord:


Algoryn:


Boromite:


Freeborn:


Ghar:


Isorian:
[/spoiler]

Virai Dronescourge:

I'm looking for some small ruins, ideally something that will fit on a 60mm base for a flying Nazgul model (I acquired one that I'm going to build as Khamul the Easterling and I wanted to do an interesting base for him). The ruins would obviously need to be fitting for a fantasy setting. I've looked around a bit and failed to come up with anything suitable, but I'm hoping someone else here might have a lead or two.

This any goood? Either scale the base to 60mm and print as is, or use Meshmixer/3d builder to do a simple plane cut and just keep the ruin itself, and print at the desired size.
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ruins-corner-120829

Alternatively, if you want asloghtly more Elven/Numenorean feel, these could be put together into something suitable.
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ruins-scatter-terrain-supportless-138255

I'm looking for regular scifi powerpacks or jump packs suitable for Eldar, but without wings. Any suggestions, guys?

M.

You could print the Corsair backpack but without the vanes

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/corsair-space-jump-pack

Eldar flight packs have always had the wings aesthetic to differentiate from the more functional imperial amd ramshackle ork kit.

What kind of aesthetic are you after? There are various mandalorian style stls out there that could maybe be modified simply with some eldar style jewels and blisters. Otherwise the main choices are imperial styles with one or more mai. Jets and with or without wings, or the slightly more discrete tau style, again with or without wings.

Something along these lines. Pretty vanilla sci fi. I found one stl but when I went and checked it it was 1/1 scale

this one couple probably e finessed a bit

I'm looking for a Tyranid Tyrannocyte proxy. I'm not buying the floating ball sack that is the official model. I've found a good one at one page rules, just wondering if there's any others out there I haven't found.

One Page Rules was who I was going to reference. Also note that at some stage they are going to re-do a bunch of the Tyranid models - they've already teased some redesign concepts in their discord now and then.
Other than that I think Hydracast had one but he's selling physical products and is based in Russia so I think he's pretty much shut down at present.

Just thought I'd quote myself to let anyone else looking for beef-jerky draugr know, this month's Artisan Guild patreon has provided what I was looking for.

Now, my new white whale is some decent G-Men/Men In Black types in STL, and maybe some XCOM style gray aliens/sectoids with decent variety of poses.

Looking for oldschool looking (not necessarily "oldschool" proportioned) Cadians. Found some that are pretty close from Davikdesigns, but missing the rolled sleeves.

Hey all,

I am not the biggest fan of the Moria dragon (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/dragon-2022) and I figured there are plenty of dragon files. Do any of you know of a fitting dragon for Middle Earth? For size, the moria dragon is on a 120mm oval base.

There are so many dragon files out there it’s hard to start. Just do a search on Thingiverse amd there are loads of free options.

As Flinty said there are a LOT of dragons out there. You might have to resize them ,but there are LOADS

If anything quite a few are high detail big dragons so finding a more modest sized one might be tricky. That said there's a good few on thingiverse.

I'd also check out Lord of the Print and Mini Monster Mayhem - esp some of the earlier sculpts as they might be a touch on the less flamboyant end.

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Mini%20Monster%20Mayhem

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/LordofthePrint

Yes, that there are so many is kind of the difficulty here, sl I thought, I asked if people have some ideas. I found LotP so far and have a look at the magma and red dragon. Gonna check out monster mayhem


Edit: the black dragon by MMM seems like a good fit on an oval base and not too fancy.

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-black-dragon-111916

Yeah I thought some of the earlier dragons might well suit what you're after. MMM makes very good quality models. Supports are generally very very good as well, though some of the earlier ones are older supports. If they are lychee they'll be from the main supporter who is very good, if they are chitu then its the sculptors own so they might want a little review, but should print.

That is an excellent Dragon! I was searching on Thingiverse a while ago for a dragon and while I had not printed him yet, here was one of my favorites I found: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4594673 - I always like dragons that were a little gribbly looking.

And, here were some others I had saved in my Collections, as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:620234 ; https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4153299 - there are just so many for free on Thingiverse it is mind-boggling.

Looking for Crusader/Arab stuff to substitute for the running Baron's War Outremer KS.
Caballero/Reconquer has some of both, Asgard Rising has some cool knights, but aside from this, especially for Arabs, I'm turning up a blank.

Arabian I'm not as hot on, but for crusaders check out https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Northern%20Crusades%20Miniatures

BriteMinis
http://briteminis.com/#
has some crusaders and "Saracens" which may fit your fancy. They're also support-free so easy to print en masse, assuming you like the oldhammer style and sacrifices required to be support free.

Thanks guys, I'll look into them.

I've been looking to get into 3D printing more due to wanting to make a pretty extensive city table/diorama, and this Kickstarter has gotten me very intrigued: http://kck.st/3ymjozh

Features some nice-looking Dark Ages/generic buildings too, but I'm most excited about the palisades because I've been looking for something suitable for Oathmark/Frostgrave/Lord of the Rings/Historical, but never quite found a "universal" look. This one I think would look fine with any of my figures!

A few more ideas:
Also check out Asgard Rising's campaign over on MMF (where you can find many of the post-campaign pledge managers which last a good long while so its a great place for KS prices).
The Fortified Village might be of interest

Also Last Sword have a High Kingdom terrain set that's coming up to the last few hours:

Awesome suggestions, thanks for the links. Do any of these jump out as "beginner friendly" (read: "idiot proof") compared to the others?

Honestly I can't say. Buildings aren't something I've invested into from anyone. Mostly because they tend to be more and FDM or at the very least large SLA printer project. That and I've utterly no room for terrain stuff right now. So I keep an eye on them but I've passed on all. The two firms I've mentioned are pretty solid with their support work and a lot of buildings can often be fairly simple side for supporting and printing. So they should print fairly easily.

Hi,

A bit of a dull request...

I need a bunch of replacement tails for the horses in my Empire army. Approx 35. I can't seem to find anything suitable asides from ridiculous Ebay prices so am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction

Cheers!

Honestly I don't think you'll find horse tails as parts. What you are more likely to find is a good quality horse sculpt that you like and then simply cut the tail off in editing. You could do that using something like mesh-mixer pretty easily.

The harder part will be attaching the tail since its going to be pretty small in contact area, doable but might be fiddly.


So if I were you I'd hit up My Mini factory, Cults, etc... and just search for horses/mounted horses and find a tail(s) that you like on them.

There is this one

It’s even modelled with the sprue attached

Did you try Google, because this is the first thing that comes up for me

I did try but failed somehow! Anyways, thank you.

I've found that image searches give the best results. Just a simple search of what you're after and STL at the end, and you usually get linked to various STL search aggregator sites that you can flick through visually.

Best of luck with the printing!

If you are doing image searches one word of caution. Especially on sites like etsy and such be VERY cautious about prices that seem too good.

There are a lot of thieves out there and its very easy to find STL models that are being sold illegally.


So if you find something I strongly encourage you to spend a few more moments just to research that model. Throw the image into google images if there isn't a creator name attached to it; check any watermarks on the image. Spend a few moments just to make sure that the place you are buying from is legitimate; so that you know the money you are spending is going to the creator/studio and not to some random thief.



Broadly speaking sites like My Mini Factory are pretty safe; however sites like thingiverse, Etsy and any site that is independent of the major stores can be a theft site.

And if in doubt ask in places like here or in 3D print groups on facebook or reddit. Most people are more than keen to help shut down the thieves and to promote the creators directly

I'm looking for two very different things:

1) Anime inspired fantasy figures, bonus if they can be printed at 28/32mm and 72/75mm, but the problem is that while I can find many sexy ladies I can rarely find some dues outside of famous characters (Goblin Slayer I'm looking at you). I'd prefer to find a range of anime inspired D&D-esque STLs.

2) Ultramodern military and urban minis. I own a bunch of Wargame Foundry Street Violence minis, but to be quite honest they aren't the best sculpted modern urban combatants--they are unfortunately the only ones in any number. Again I can find one-offs, but it would be nice to see a range especially like Foundry's Street Violence with different factions as STLs.

For Anime you could look at

RNE studio
https://www.myminifactory.com/users/rnestudio

Also Nomnom have done some anime inspired larger and chibi style models for the 75mm bracket
https://www.patreon.com/NomnomFigures

RNE studio is kind of the problem I have. Their JRPG models are based on 8-bit Nintendo console games and Im looking for more modern anime designs. And while there are some fine "homages" to video game and anime characters, I'm looking for something less Link (from Zelda, Cloud (From FFVII), Goblin Slayer, Darkness (From Konosuba), etc..

I detest chibi or else I'd have had my fill of cheap plastic of that.

So, anime inspired generic class based miniatures--not chibi.

Humble Bundle has a set with male and female modular stl sets for modern infantry. Supplied From AlbinoRaven’s catalogue on MMF

I’m also certain I’ve seen anime inspired D&D stuff in MMF but i l ant put my finger on them just now.

There are the chibi 40k people(sorry, just seen your anti-chibi position!)

Also there are some nice near future cyberpunk style stuff from Unit9 and Papsikels

1) Galaad maybe?
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-mercenary-executioner-207798
Most of his stuff is more classic Fantasy, but takes some inspiration here and there. Though not really 1:1 copies of anime.
2) Turnbase Miniatures maybe? Spectre Miniatures also just launched a Patreon this month, but so far, I found it rather dissapointing. 2 models only, bit on the pricey side. But I'll wait and see what next months full squad brings.

That Humble Bundle I think I’m going to have to pull the trigger on. Good start to cops, military and a few ne’er do wells.

Galaad Is surprising good, not exactly anime, but certainly adjacent to it. I followed them at MMF.

I went for the full bundle mainly for the female soldier models. The heads are fantastic. Printing a second bed of them just now.

Guys, I'm gonna host some Lancer RPG con games this august, and I'm in need of some kaiju.

Specifically I'd need minis that would look cool and kaiju-like for regular sized minis (Lancer Size 1, think regular 28-32mm size, or Battletech) and fit on a regular hez sided Battletech base, and for bigger ones (Lancer Size 2, see the sizes below):



If you've printed something similar, that would look cool to fight with mechs, please let me know.

Hi all! Bit new to this 3D printing stuff.

I was hoping to use the one in our local library for historical miniatures, primarily Greek, Persian, Sassanid and Byzantine. I've tried trawling around, but I'm having trouble finding them. Care to give a pointer or two?
