But don't take my word for it, like I said be happy to do some samples for you. You can also wait until I do a series of posts outlining the pros/cons of the various hobbyist to commercial grade SLA/DLP printers, along with pictures of our control print from professional grade $250K printer compared to same model down the various lines. Although honestly, photos do not do them justice.

I don't quite take as good as pictures as these, but this does give a good baseline and these aren't printed at the highest resolution:

If you do create a separate thread comparing those printers, please post a link here as I'm sure it would be an interesting read on dakka for prospective hobby manufacturers.

I'll be happy to help out. It may not work out for your benefit but chances are it probably will. At the very least it doesn't hurt to at least give it a try, like I said we have multiple printers so one will most likely meet the needs. I get to help someone out as well as educate others so it ends up a win/win.

LOL! Um... no. I wish but I tend to shy away from getting involved with existing IPs. Existing IPs into games work great for funs, not so much for the designer and publisher. Lord of Rings Deckbuilding as an example wanted very specific cards and things to happen... which honestly made the game not fun but was required to be in because they wanted it for the theme. There are also other delays in getting approvals or even after an approval is given, having it revoked after you've already produced a run. The most involvement I would have with an existing IP would be printing prototypes, printing masters for them or some production involvement of some sort.

The examples are not my designs and I didn't print those. I can vouch that the printer definitely does that quality though. Those particular prints is testing a new matte gray resin which I plan to switch too and they did use one of the printers at our disposal. I would consider that printer a higher end hobbyist printer but low end commercial/professional printer just based on cost alone, not because of quality or capabilities. But like I said going from a printer like that to a $200K printer, you don't get very much visible difference for your dollars ... not unless you are using a microscope or jewelers loupe to inspect it with.

Should have the option for a canine skull (with one or two bionic eye(s)) to replace the Robodog head (not the underjaw).

It reminds me a bit more of Scooby Doo robot dog than something grimdark though. Either way, I like the design.

ROBO-PUPPY MISTREATMENT ALERT!

Like the dog, but it isn't as good as the Chastener and Arbites.


How hard would it be to make Lieutent Mira from the Space Mrine game? That seems like it would be popular

Very true. There is a serious lack of female guardsmen in the 40K miniature line.

I would certainly pay for a will sculpted squad - and of course that would beg the Sergeant sculpt as well

That dog seems far too Orky in appearance for an imperial construction, particularly compared to the other Arbites cyber-mastiffs out there. And it's not just the jaw, it's also in the body mass. (As always, just IMHO.)

Perhaps a "sci-fi" version of something like the photo below would be more suitable? Note the much thinner frame - just for comparison...

Its probably just the mass, but arbites cyber mastiffs are basicly walking robots though.

The newer Enforcer's shotgun looks much nicer, and the studded shoulder guard helps make him look like less of a Marine Scout which is good. The dog still looks strange, the cylon eye doesn't suit it well.
The large scale models look incredible though, great job!

Good to bring up but most likely still a WIP. Normally the sculptor will do the details, gripping weapons and the like in the final steps after the rest of the process is done. I believe this is in case they decide to repose or change weapons. Then once the pose and sculpt is finalized, the sculptor will finish up grips and other final details.

The Enforcer and the inquisitor is fantastic. Here are my two cents:

1. The demon head is cool... but can the model be made so that it can be built without the head? (Yes I realize it would have to be replaced by a tactical rock.)

2. By itself the robo dog is really cool looking. However... it just doesn't feel like it belongs in the "Grim Dark". It looks like something out of the Jetsons or something. Really cartoony looking. As someone else pointed out it looks more Orky than Imperial.
