Hi All,

After a lengthy break from the hobby, I am looking at getting back into 40k, after recently picking up 2 3d printers (an Anycubic Photon for miniatures, and an Ender 3 pro for scenery and vehicles). I am aware that 3d printed mini's can be a contentious point within the hobby, but I am looking to make the most of my printers and will only be using them to make some models and scenery to play against my brother at home.
My brother will be playing Battle Sisters and has found some great sculpts, a mixture of some free files, a paid patreon and some he has ordered via cgtrader. I will try to get some links for the pics to show anyone interested.

I am looking to make either an Ork or Imperial Guard/Astra Millitarum army. I have found some great files for Orks, and some nice options for tanks for both, but am struggling to find good options for Guardsmen, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for Guard both free or paid files that I could make an army of? Ideally looking for a mix of male and female models, as inspired by the mixed units in Gaunts Ghost books.

I will post some of the links I've found so far, but appreciate any recommendations.

If you search for kasrkin on thingiverse it pulls up some decent versions. And it's not like you can get them for GW any more.

Just searching for infantry on thingiverse pulls up a range 9f 9ther stuff of varying scale and quality.

Thanks for the reply Flinty, those Kasrkin (by LoggyK) look good quality, i have downloaded the links, will see how they turn out tomorrow. I found a few other ones that may be an option too:

Sonicsledgehammer's DKOK head with canister could be good for some head swaps:

Reptilian Overlord's Spacenaz models are really cool too, I have pledged to his Patreon, but will hopefully pick up his Desert Reavers set too:

Not found much in the way of female guard models to mix in, so will keep an eye out.

The Maker's Cult Feudal Guard has everything you want, I think. For starters, they wear plate, so they're fairly androginous already, but it also has female versions of officers already:




It also has stuff like abhumans, cavalry and all types of specialized vehicles:

Albertorius thanks for sharing, those look great. I had seen their patreon, and some of their stuff, but as you say they have everything.

Will go and have a closer look
