Hello!

I draw 3D models on Cults from Warhammer for printing on a 3D printer. I just started, I made a Rapier cannon, now I'm drawing Xiphon.

Judging by what I looked at the Warhammer wiki, there are a lot of combat units - both ground and air vehicles.

And now the question arose ... 1. What models are more in demand and desirable at the moment, in your opinion? 2. Is there any hierarchy? 3. What models for 3d printing (list of military equipment) would you like to see and possibly buy, and why?

It would be more advantageous to show off what you can do first - then we can advise you. Do you specialise in organic or hard surface? Are you up to complex sculpts, or need ones that are more basic as you accrue experience? And so on. Where's your cults page?

I wanted to add link but I can't do it because I registered yesterday.

I will try one more time: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/rapier-laser-destroyer-array-cannon

What I mean is technical geometry, solid modelling

Here's the link as a clickable thing.

So it looks to me like you're at a semi-amateur level in hard surface modelling. In which case, honing your small gun carriages and the like is probably your best bet. You're not going to draw many sales until you get much better at your craft, so you should focus on perfecting small compact kits one at a time before jumping into larger tanks and aircraft. That would be my advice, anyway.

Well, personally I expect one of two things from a 3d artist making GW knockoffs:

a) A close to perfect replica at a fraction of GW's cost

or

b) Proxy with value added through an artist's unique aesthetic and interpretation of the unit

I would say your work currently provides neither, while being priced higher than the market standard.
