Just a heads up to anybody having trouble getting their hands on BFG ships, ordinance/tokens and such since it is all out of print from GW and super expensive used, i found this great store on shapeways for 3d printed versions at reasonable prices.

An example-

Cool.

If you're looking to print yourself or want a wider variety of options to get printed at shapeways, the Italian moose has got you covered.

Should we be advertising these? Is nobody worried they'll get C&D'ed if GW comes across this list?

Or just get fully legal third party proxies. Vanguard Miniatures /Battlegroup Helios do some cool stuff: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/battlegroup-helios/

Please, whatever you do, don't order from that Shapeways store! A lot of them are either remixes of my models (sold without permission) or Mkhand's models.

+1 for Vanguard! I love the Helian ships!

If you're keen to get printed versions of my models, you can hit up Scourge Scenics who do have permission to make them.

I've had my Epic-scale eldar super-heavies DMCA'd (they got rescaled to 28mm by people, hence the banhammer), GW haven't gone for BFG yet. I'm sure they know about all my models!

Good, let's hope it stays that way.

I've printed stuff from both Italianmoose and Mkhand; there's a lot to recommend both, they're well-designed, sliced for easy printing, and scaled just right. Attack craft markers and Eldar ships have both proved more difficult, but those are more to do with technical limitations of my FDM printer than anything else. (If I were very organized I'd know where my old BFG stuff was so I could post some side-by-side pictures, but unfortunately I'm not that organized).

Thanks for the heads up.

The scourage store is now added to my options.

...wow, what a gakky thing to do to you and Mkhand >_>

Thank you for all the work with your models, btw, they are great

I'm impressed you tried! I've done filament Eldar prints and they look OK at best. Thankfully resin printers are cheap enough that there's less of a need to design for filament prints these days.

Oh oh oh, don't forget Battlefleet Galaxy as well, they sell physical prints too.

Soul Forge Studio (Patreon/MyMiniFactory) do lovely designs for ships, though you'd have to get them printed elsewhere.
