I don't think those count as physical releases

Technically they would, as they are a physical option for a digital release item.

They are a physical release because if you click to buy, Only Games send you figures rather than a computer file.

I'm not particularly impressed by pawning off 3d prints in lieu of actual multi-part plastic kits.

Like, I wish the best for your company, and in general I'm a fan - but I'm not very interested in 3D prints, and I'd much prefer to just be alerted when an actual new plastic kit shows up.

I agree with all above.

OK so let's have three threads for WGA?

A good idea But seriously, digital and 3D should be in the same thread. Here we should have only HIPS.

Its not pawning off.

Plastics are a physical product. Physical prints sold of our digital designs sold by Only-Games are a physical product.

They are two separate categories based on material, but they are both physical products.

If this is the physical release thread, releases available in physical form (regardless of category) will be posted here. If @Kid_Kyoto or the mod team says otherwise, the official Wargames Atlantic account will adjust where posts are made based on the mod teams decision.

This makes no sense. Digital was moved away because people without printers didn't want discussion domonated by items they had no access to, but this limitation does not apply to prints on demand. Who, then, should prints on demand be marketed to, if not the people who don't have printers and so follow only the physical thread?

I honestly get both points.
But would you consider MP3 downloads physical media because you can burn them on a CD?

So, what's new on the HIPS front? I am looking forward to many sets that were sculpted years ago and have been put on the back burner it seems... bring us some news please

Not the same thing.

Only Games sells the customer a physical product not the stl files to print out yourself or go to a third party printing service.

As for HIPS products, I believe WA were going to announce the next preorder once the current gang of plastic products were in the shops.

Hopefully that might be in May as it looks like the SAS and German sentries are estimated to be out by the end of April.

The correct analogy would be exactly opposite: is a CD not a physical item because the music was recorded digitally?

An even closer analogy would involve a company that was burning cds as they are ordered rather than having them mass produced. What you get is still a physical CD.

'Physical product' doesn't just mean 'plastic'... metal and resin models are also physical products, and 3d printing is ultimately just resin produced by a newer process. Print-on-demand is increasingly going to replace traditional resin and metal production.

We don't separate any other manufacturer into separate threads for each different material they use, so I don't see any reason to do so here.

If someone else, licensed by the record firm, is doing the burning... yes. It's what you usually call "buying a CD".

Print on Demand is as much a way to do business as producing everything from a single location.

Well, I think i did come in too harsh initially, and I am sorry about that.

That said, I'm still not really keen on seeing these two things (resin prints and hard plastic kits) as equivocal. Sure, you can get the resin prints as a physical product, but it's not a far different comparison to Games Workshop plastic kits vs resin/fine cast. Sure they are both types of physical models, but the one that gets people excited is the hard plastic kit - and for good reason, they are so much easier to work with for conversions, stronger/more durable bonds between individual pieces using plastic, typically plastic being the stronger material is something falls of the table, etc.

When I think of WGA, I still think of the company I initially got very enamored with, a new and exciting plastic kit company doing things nobody else was. I'm happy for any successes you guy have with you 3d printed arm of things, but I'm not sure that posting links to places you can get those designs printed out from are really any different from the regular old digital links...

considering the link provided is just the arm of my minifactory that provides physical 3D prints.

Hi there. No apologies necessary. I just wanted to address your concern.

1. No one said plastic and resin miniatures are equivocal. They are two separate types of physical Miniatures.

2. My mini factory's only-games is our licensed/partnered dealer of physical models from our Atlantic digital line. I don't understand what point your last paragraph is trying to make. Could you please clarify?

3.

Emphasis via bolding my own. Wargames Atlantic is a miniatures company. Wargames Atlantic has not stated that it is a plastics exclusive miniatures company the company expanded to make use of a popular alternative production method, 3D printing.

For those without printers, Wargames Atlantic offer physical prints through a licensed vendor. This is prevalent across the industry, however Wargames Atlantic has initially chosen only-games as a single provider of physical models.

This is in contrast to an option more prevalent in the 3D printing world: that of a merchant license available to multiple merchants, with limited potential input on quality of finished product sold to end users.

but the one that gets people excited is the hard plastic kit

If this were true, resin would not be a viable material for miniatures in terms of marketability.

Wow, I already have a headache.

I tend to agree, if a company is selling physical prints then it should go here, it's not plastic sprues but it is a physical product anyone can order and get.

When Mantic or Northstar do resin add on packs do we need a different thread?

I dunno, any real dissent?

Whew, alot of mental gymnastics and sneed here...
In the end I don't care. I like WA and have most of their kits. I am looking forward to their future HIPS stuff, but I have zero interest in this thread anymore, that has mostly STL stuff or advertisement for a company that does overpriced printouts for brits.

This thread offers nothing the Friday email by WA doesn't offer earlier.

This thread is a discussion thread for news related to Wargames Atlantic physical products.

The Friday newsletter is one of the ways HQ releases news/news-related info like teaser images.

Is every digital offering going to be offered as a 3D print? If so, why did you even separate the threads if you’re just going to double post everything here?

I thought the whole point of separating the threads was to avoid killing interest in Wargames Atlantic’s primary product, the plastics. By filling the thread with noise, you destroy its purpose.

Why not simply add a reminder in the it of the digital thread that they can be printed via Only Games? A single sentence appended to every new promo image could serve notice that they will also be available as a 3D print. Or you can change this thread to Wargames Atlantics HIPS Releases. Something to retain customer interest.

By reposting all of the digital files (printed now!) here, aren’t you negating any benefit to making a separate thread for Digital news and rumors?

Wargames Atlantic didn't post anything here.

I added an update about two new printed products from Only Games and the Internet has been the Internet.

I have no interest is collecting lots of digital files that I then have to find someone to print for me.

Therefore, I keep an eye on Only Games to see if anything new comes out that I want and I shared the news of a new physical product.

In answer to your question, Only Games offer 35 printed products. The actual number of digital files available far outstrips that total.

So it actually is exactly like GW, then, as all the HH, Necromunda and AT threads show: what gets people excited is the plastic kits, and disappointment sets in when they are told that a release is in resin.

Corrupted/Renegade Guard Cavalry in the Friday newsletter.

So that's 3 kits spoiled so far for this faction, looks like WGA is going all in on renegade guard. And just when the HH army list for it came out

Happy Camper i am, so HWT, Infantry and cavalry.

Renegades look to be a very popular buy from WGA once they are released.

While the things they have shown seem nice, I do wonder when any of this will actually appear in the wild.
To be honest it seems like they have lots of logistical issues even with their digital releases so we will likely see a GW traitor guard codex/supplement before these renegades reach plastic.
