First off, let me say I like a lot of that stuff. And you accept Paypal, which is good as there is a 0% chance I would give my cc info to a small online business.

The pricing seems off though. What you have is cheap compared to "Warhammer", and pricey for the rest of the miniature hobby. A lot of the stuff on your site is either historical or low fantasy historical. I'm used to paying around $1 per mini for those, from places like Perry, Warlord, Victrix, and Wargames Atlantic. For example the skeletons are competing with this:

What you have is better than those, but not 250% better, IMO. The cavalry is closer as those are more like $2.50 per mini in plastic.

For the terrain you have a mix of fairly generic offerings I can get much cheaper from Pegasus or Sarissa, without the FDM crosshatching, and some really cool unique stuff. That Petra is awesome, and I might pay $100 for it. But not sight unseen. I want to see a photo of a real, printed one. Same deal for some of the smaller items that are not available elsewhere. At the point where you are self promoting on a niche website, people know what is available from the major 3rd party manufacturers.

I think you may have to decide if you want to be a "3D printed minis" company or a "Not Warhammer" company. Again the prices look good compared to GW, so putting out stuff that 40k/AoS players would want would make your price point more palatable. If you pursue that I'd forget the semi historicals and go for "Space Elf Death Cultist with Panzershreck" type offerings. Otherwise a lower price point may be needed. I'd probably do $1.50 or $1.75 per mini for "better" skeleton archers, but might pay your prices for something I wanted but can't get cheaper somewhere else in good quality. You'd have to do some research to find what those items might be. Decide who you want your customer to be, and market to them accordingly.

If custom STL and prints are available, you should elaborate on that within the site. For example I *really* want a large quantity (50+) of sheathed and unsheathed Kukri knives. To me, with some familiarity with 3D printing that would rather someone else do it, I think 2 hours of semi skilled labor ($25x2) for the STL and 20 sprues of 3+3 at $5 each is a reasonable starting point. If that seems in the ballpark of what makes sense for you financially, PM me.

I think if you adjust your business model a bit you should be ok. "Not 40k"stuff and/or niche historical and fantasy historical stuff that people will want, and can't get elsewhere, is the direction I would go. "Small ball" heads, weapon packs, and the like are also something you have not tapped into yet that could make you some $.
