Have a nice set of sci-fi vehicles for wargaming, and for use as scenery (civilian cars and bikes and suchlike)

then there are the STL finder type websites that I have found useful as well:

For the people who like stuff like Hero Forge, but prefer to be able to make as many minis/poses as they want buying a license for the use of the software instead of having to buy each single design, you have these:

DesktopHero, Hero Forge alternative (soon to be heavily improved and merged with TitanCraft):

https://desktophero3d.com/

TitanCraft, monster builder for all your big and small critter needs:

https://titancraftminis.com/en/

TownBuilder, same as above, but for scenery buildings and dungeons:

https://townsmith.de/

on the terrain side there is Imperial Terrain

they sell STLs directly from their site, and they have also put out a building generator app:

Terrain Machine

Figured I may add in some directions for HALO miniatures. I am neither the designer, nor affiliated with the designer (Although many thanks for their sterling efforts).

Under Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules, I believe these designs are legal as they are non-profit and are not derived from Microsoft Assets (being sculpted/modelled from scratch). As far as I can tell from Microsoft's policy, they do not consider this an infringement of the IP, but a fair use of the franchise. They are also freely accessed from the designer's affiliated FB group with no obligation to join the group prior to download.

Anyway, the files are located in this Google Drive link (also navigable from the FB 'Halo Ground Command' group).

Submitted for Mod approval of course.

Another one to add: Wakes Emporium (cool 6mm models)

gambody.com

There's a large range of modular terrain and sci-fi scenery at https://saucermenstudios.com.au
