Damn, I knew I forgot to post this one, a navigator, probaby heavily inspered


It is probably inspired by this dark heresy picture, I love when 3d modelist convert awesome artwork in 3d...

OK that is an amazing job by the 3d artist (?)

Yeah, that is impressingly accurate, Hope to do it justice in paint

Mechanicum day today:


And this thing finally finished :

All of your latest prints/kitbashes look like they came straight out of the old Realms of Chaos books. I look forward to seeing them painted.

Very kind of you to say JoshInJapan ! I too am quite eager to start painting this batch...

Finished assembling a few more today, with one more sister of battle to corrupt (It has a head I swear)


Two more marines


And this guy, quite painfull to clean up, but still looking quite good...

yeah 3d printing seems to fit right in with your wierd style

I admit I have grown very fond of this tool, I have now almost replaced buying second hand models for bits with buying STLs...

Finished assembling this heretech tyranid matriarch today, one more dark mech magos for me !



Finished the mounted lancer, with minor work on the cloth



And printed some kneeling daemonette riders, wish should fit nicely on the sides of the demon empress throne

HAHA. Tyranid darkmech matriarch.
Really fond of that idea and the model seems to be doing it justice.

Hahahaha right ? They are releasing this as a stand in for the hive tyrant, and are doing the whole range...

Finished the flying throne thing today


Also printed a keeper of secred


And a daemonette with long legs

And finished this tall thing


Some minor things to complete and then back to painting !

well, promising as allways

That thing IS tall!

Mighty tall!

How do the 3-D prints hold up toughness-wise? They look awfully fragile (in a sort of brittle resin way). Is there much damage from cleanup of fine parts, or do you just have to accept that some supports etc. have to stay lest they cause significant damage by being removed?

Thanks a lot folks !

@IGtR=: Well it is very hard, and indeed quite brittle. The anycubic green I am using here is much more likely to break when falling on the floor for example, and much more complicated to cut cleanly than plastic or even injection resins. Now other UV resin exist and behave differently. I had a white plant based one earlier that was a bit softer, but did not however behave well for large hollowed models...
I heard that some people mix resins in order to get models that are still precise, but will resist a fall well.

Cleaning on another hand is not much of an issue, since you remove supports before curing, so it is still quite flexible. Removing in hot water will usually allow for easy removal without damage. You can even go for very fine parts (as the weapons of the daemonettes a few posts above) then you just need to be carefull and use pliers. For a space marine body on the contrary, I usually just pull on the thing and it comes without damage.

Obviously, this depends on whether the supports were added in a sensible manner, but it is usually the case.


Finished corrupting the armour plates of the titans' feet today :

Ohhh, now that is certainly a big big project

For sure ! Applying this process to all the armour panels of that beast will take a while, but well, I'll spread it over time...

Last thing I wanted to build: some disgusting objective markers:


And with this, on to priming !

Right, just finished this beast, was a really fun thing to paint, I'll definitely make two more, to field as obliterators:


And with its brothers

That thing is odly adorable?

I like it

Thanks ! Absolutely agreed on the thing being adorable.

Finished some creepy thing today :

Glaivewraith plus Sicarian legs is a great creepy look! Where on earth is that terrifying face from though?

Thanks a lot Gwyn chan'r Gwyll !
It is a print, from the raging heroes line, this one, more precisely

Just finished one more dark mech creep this morning :



The warband so far:

Ohh, that is a creepy bunch of mask wearers.

Those models paint up nicely. I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks a lot folks !

Finished this 3d printed raptor jesus today, a wedding gift for a friend...

Creepy mask wearers.

And raptor Jesus is strange, but I am sure the recipient will be happy!

Thanks for sharing

Raptor Jesus! Came out great, excellent wedding gift Going to have to find that and make one for my wife

Thanks !

@Boss Salvage, this is walrit's design on thingiverse, scaled down at something like 50-60% (which is defeinitely why his paintjob looks better than mine ^^)

One keeper of secrets was not enough right ?
