How Much Does It Cost To 3D Print A Death Korps of Krieg Army?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2022
- Wow, I knew we could save money 3d printing but this is near unbelievable. I priced a 1000pt death korps of krieg army from games workshop and my jaw dropped at the price so I worked out how much it would cost to 3d print a dkok army for warhammer 40k and this is open and shut.

Hear me out; 3D Printing Krieg is lore-accurate due to how 98% of Kriegsmen are Vat-Grown Clones copied over and over and over again. Best way to get a Krieg Army and have it be lore friendly.
Makes sense to me 😂😂😂
Honestly the models that people make online for free are better than the ones GW are selling. Not even mentioning the paid stls from companies that care.
Is it now sealed that Krieg's are clones? I just remeber how people argued about it but couldnt be sure if they really were.
@@pilz4566 They are not, clones don't work in 40k because they don't have souls. GW retconned that and now it is implied that they are just created in a lab with natural genetic material and then vat grown to speed up the process. I don't think they ever said it clearly, but they are definitely not clones
@@pilz4566 In the newest Krieg book they confirmed at the end that they used these "vita wombs" which basically speeds up the growth process so they can churn out kids faster. No clones though just using genetic material from donors so a lot of siblings basically.
GW's pricing is so insane, it's less expensive to print an army and BUY THE 3D PRINTER YOU'RE USING FOR IT than to buy it from them.
Dont forget they arbitrally jack up prices depending on where you live also
Exactly. It's why they are so aggressive in fighting 3D creators because they know how badly they are price-gouging and how uncompetitive they are.
@@fuzztsimmers3415 cries in australia
i would release 3D files if i was games work shop, with a app that is licensed, pay 9.99 a month to use it and would have tons of money incoming
It’s probably cheaper to hire students to LARP as your army and your opponents. You will need a much bigger board though.
I printed my 80 krieg for less than $40. It's crazy how affordable it becomes.
That's nuts when that would be $480 in plastic
@@battlebrothersam about 20 models was special characters and units. Such as a Ghonts Ghosts but krieg themed.
if you know what you're doing its absurd.
@@battlebrothersam also printed a marauder destroyer for 1 bottle of resin for $40. Nuts but true.
@@anthonyd.1428 you should have been able to print that for a fair bit less. Did you hollow it?
Station Forge has some incredible Krieg style models including cavalry. Slightly different aesthetic but still awesome. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks brother
Can't recommend StationForge enough, their AdMech-like faction is brilliant
@@Marcusstratus I second this. They just released their first kit for a new line of SM proxies.
i fell in love with station forge. as soon as i get my 3D printer i will print a lot from them.
The good, old Valour Korps. Literally the first thing I ever printed. After six units of heavy artillery pieces were done, my entire Mono X setup had been paid for and I was in the black. Not having the time to print or play, this still gives me a cozy feeling... good days.
Hands down the best models to print supports are great models are great I want to print off more of the heavy artillery units now lol
@@battlebrothersam Though you have to admit, one thing that might rival the feeling of artillery is the cavalry. Not because of the models, but the feeling of dropping one on the ground... and simply shrugging because there is more ponies where that came from since they cost cents on the dollar in comparison to Forgeworld.
The "problem" with 3d printing is the constant urge to print new models and new armies. Thus, a 3d printer opens a new world to our hobby and makes you want to have them all! Personally, purchasing stls for future projects or armies ( for example because of black Friday proxy stormcast eternals and fyreslayers) made me want to take a break. It is a personal goal to finish painting all my previews miniatures before printing something new. So, no printing for the whole November in order to finish all my projects first and making some true cost savings.
I feel this is my soul. I now collect 10+ armies, usually subbed to 4+ patreons a month, have a 500gb+ hard drive of shame, and am running out of space for my minis.
Stay strong brother its true 3d printing has just made it like I'm a kid in a candy store and able to get whatever I want
@@battlebrothersam exactly that. Personally I need to keep in check my inner child now more than ever... Otherwise the printed miniatures will drown me...
Try priming everything you have so far. It will set you straight so fast after you run out of a rattle can in one session.....
@@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork can you believe that I actually did this and discovered a new pile of miniatures hidden in a drawer? What were the chances of that...
Honestly as an Australian I just picked up an FDM and SLA printer because each GW army of 2000 points will cost me easily that much, and now I can make 10 armies at a fraction of that, all themed how I like, with matching 3d printed thematic terrain. After getting back into the hobby I have to thank GW but I’m never looking back. Even Star Wars legion allows you to collect a whole faction for only $500 and I’m happy to pay that but GW is so broken here in Australia.
its insane, if they whould sell a foot soldier for just one dollar it whould be still value time for them.
Eventually as laws crack down on copyright issues, I imagine it'll become even harder to acquire certain printable files. It would certainly be handy for the community to say, store said files to share or resale should the need arise. Patreon and discord can sure come in handy in that regard.
Great thing is you can't exactly copyright French German ww1 soldiers 😁
This may or may not be done already en mass🥱
99 illegal files online...99 illegal files....take one down, pout around, 109 illegal files online...
That's why it doesn't hurt to have a physical external HDD to just store files on, even if you're not currently into 3D printing. That's how I managed to have some highly customizable Mk IV tactical marines before the file got taken down
@@helixmusic4279 Do you have these files posted somewhere? Asking for a friend
Another excellent vid.
I have discovered an extremely friendly warhammer printing community here in Portland, and I have never played Warhammer 40k, think I'll start with this very army! Thanks for making this mate!
Portland Oregon or Portland Maine?
Over the last week you've convinced me and I've bought myself a small resin printer, can't wait to get started
Glad to hear it brother 😁😁
Thanks for everything you do to promote the hobby bro 👍👍
@@CruddyBroso once you get used to it is there a difference in quality from printing accurate to GW minis then getting the real thing?
@@terrydactyl2077 it's hard to get "accurate to gw" stl files but there's some absolutely amazing proxies out there that IMO can look better. Any 2k printer can technically print finer details than gw can injection mould and once you have a file you can print as many as you want. I've found tons of them still print in pieces so you can pose them in so many ways. Hope this helps 👍
@@CruddyBro thanks mate! All new info for me!
I love seeing The Makers Cult shouted out! Been a patron of theirs for years and years, and they're always amazing
They are great
I would definitely like to see a video showing how many miniatures - or how many Points in-game - you can get from one bottle of resin. Just to put the cost of a bottle into perspective.
I have one for orks! I managed to get a good amount of them not sure about points though
Here's a list of what I was able to print with one bottle of resin: One Death Korps Marshal, one Leman Russ Demolisher, one 10-man Death Korps Grenadier Squad, two 10-man Death Korps Infantry squads, one SoB Canoness, one Celestine, three 10-sister Battle Sister squads, one Slaanesh Infernal Enrapturess, one Keep of Secrets, one Tzeentch Fluxmaster, and the weapons for a Lord of Change (body and wings were too big for my resin printer, so I had to print those on my Ender 3 Pro FDM printer).
So as you can see, one bottle of resin will go a really long way.
@@Commodore22345wow!
Hey man. I started watching your videos a few weeks back and they inspired me to final take the plunge and get a printer. It just arrived today along with the last of the extra bits and I'm so excited. Thanks for the inspiration and the informative videos.
Thanks for the kind words brother 😁
They're well earned 👍
That call is the cheekiest thing I've ever seen on UA-cam
you sir are an inspiration to me snd my small company thanks for all the advice. and we will continue to be on the look out for your new stuff.
You are a hero. I've been hunting for exactly this as I'm starting to get into Warhammer after a long time of sitting on the fence. Krieg are all I've wanted, I already had the exact same printer, UV light, even resin bottles that you do. Also, it's 5 days since you posted this and the models we 30% off on Maker's Cult. Screaming good deal and amazing models. The only problem now is figuring out how many is too many...
Question you need it Paint or not?
@@darklink8423 Painting it is a good part of the fun.
Heyy.
Good video idea!
You seem like a great dude - Keep it up and this channel will go places.
Kudos.
hey there, I just wanted to say thank you, since you convinced me to get a Printer, which is going to arrive tomorrow. Im already exited to get started. please keep the good work up.
Thanks brother
Mate, you are such a doppelganger for a good mate I used to work with! Even some of your mannerisms hahaha love it. Subbing for that reason alone haha
awesome video, im looking into purchasing my first resin printer, so this definitely helps, especially with the ease of use from the files you purchased
Thanks brother!
Keep up the great work on the videos, looking forward to future content
You're the channel that got me into 3D printing! I only got my mars 2 pro 10 days ago and ive already printed 7 custodian guard, 6 aquilon terminators and 2 contemptor galatus dreadnaughts! It's finally allowed me to actually print of the "armies" I've wanted for a literal decade! I'm mid process of printing off a knight questoris now. I was just wondering though, how do you print of the "larger" titans? Do you alter the files yourself?
Thank you so much and keep on going!
Always great to find content creators from NI.
I've been toying with the idea to get a 3d printer but never had a proper reason to justify it. This video actually helped a lot especially since a friend of mine like you and I agree, like and think Kriegs are some of the coolest minis out there
Love the valour korps, been eyeing them for a year and is one of the very reasons why I wanted a printer. Not only that but now I can rescale them and print at 15mm meaning I can play large scale trench battles on a 4x4 table with hundreds of mini trenchers with either the Adrian or normal helm's for the same price as buying GWs version of a single 10 man DKOK squad. Love your videos and thank you for highlighting them, the creators make tons of good stuff not just the valour korps.
Thanks! They are one of the best creators out there and a few more of their models will be appearing soon lol that's a great idea scaling them down
@@battlebrothersam glad to hear, They're one of the few patrons I don't think I'll unsub from due to the amount/quality of models the give every month and that the listen to the community to make improvements even to older kits. Very much worth it and looking forward to seeing more of your videos too.
Another banger, thanks brother.
Also... now I'm tempted to print this army next :p
Thanks brother! Do it 😁😁😁
Thanks for these videos man. They're a big inspiration. I even looked into 3d printing offshore at places like JLCPCB or PCBWAY but the $1 per item (shoulder pad, legs, arms etc all cost) so it adds up, then its $30 shipping to me so worked out one lowly space marine is gonna cost me $39 shipped. Buying a 3d printer and sucking up the startup costs is looking more and more attractive. Suffice to say I wouldn't have even considered that option without your videos. Cheers dude.
Tremendous video mate!
I'm in the middle of printing a Solar Aux army for Heresy. The official cost of my list would have run almost exactly £2.5k, but so far I'm up to £167 (£60 being the files) and while there's still a lot of models left to go, (including a pair of Baneblade variants) all told I reckon it'll still come in at a saving of about 90%.
One thing I will caution is that Chitubox's resin use estimate is usually waaay off - typically by at least 20%, so I always weigh my models when they come off the print bed to get a more accurate gauge of how much liquid (and cash!) I'm burning through.
Ah I didn't know that about the estimate being off! But jesus that's some savings you have already
Congrats on 4k subs!
Thanks! 😁😁
Awesome video.👍 i would like to see the spoken video about how many minis you can get out of one bottle for the dkok. Could you also make a video only about dkok tanks, that would be so awesome since im planing on getting myself an army and i really love the tanks
Thanks! I'll put it on my list
Hi Sam. I'm from Australia, and i am well aware of how ludicrous the GW pricing is. $304 AUD for a Knight Dominus!!
I'll definitely be considering 3D printing now. Despite the learning curve, it is looking more and more like the cheaper option.
If your in Australia then your going to see huge savings!
Loving these videos!
Hi there! This was a great video and has nearly convinced me to buy a printer! However, could you do a video in the future on the new Cadia Stands box set? I’d love to see just how much I can save by printing!
very well painted and great video
Thanks!
That's the reason why GW and other IP holders was going so hard against 3d print sharing sites. It cuts them out.
It's not even about price. It's pure availability. FW doesn't ship models to my country but resin 3d printing is cheaply available. If I want to play 40k with these models there is no other choice. I can mass produce good quaint resin models in my own home, it's amazing.
Glad you have access to a printer brother 😁😁
GW seems to be working the hell out of their 2 (IIRC) factories and just can't keep up. Too many franchises and too many models to keep up.
I couldn't believe it was cheaper to purchase the printer and resin, plus all the STL's than to buy Krieg models direct from GW/ForgeWorld, that's just insane.
I use my fdm printer to print models. You have to cut the model up a bit in the slicer but I've found great success, especially bigger models with lower detail. I printed a hierodule for $3.
Great videos mate. Must admit I'd like to see how you'd go about doing a full Heresy era Legion army.
Thanks, that's a very good idea
No problem! Definitely one I want to see!
570 bucks for 3 earthshakers? 😳
How do they come up with those prices?
So glad i have my resin printer. 😌
Great video as always, Sam 🤘
Thanks brother I almost didn't include earthshaker until I seen that price... It would be rude not to point out the ridiculousness of their pricing
@@battlebrothersam well done 😉😄
Think i'll actually buy these stl files for the earthshakers.
Have to get rid of the big gun envy 😂
They invent the problem then make the customer pay for it lmao.
"How do they come up with those prices? "
They know people will pay it. Despite their constant price increases, their sales numbers never seem to suffer so that only encourages them to keep raising their prices.
Just started watching your channel, great videos, I'm looking forward to the time when I get the space to have a 3D printer again, and enjoy watching what you do until that time.
GW pricing is outrageous for what they provide, how they pay their staff, they're ability and resources to monetise nearly every aspect of their IP (some of which cost them next to nothing to do but bring in large revenue). And not just compared to 3D printing but to other plastic and resin miniature manufactures, who have smaller scale productions which inherently have higher costs but these manufactures still provide way more value on their sprues then GW. I don't get how people think GW pricing is reasonable or necessary and will argue that point, when if you do any digging into manufacturing processes and scaling, look at other manufacturers and consider how GW under pays its staff, there is no question that their prices are massively inflated for the brands image and nothing else. Rant over.
I would actually love to see how many guardsmen you can print from one bottle of resin, with guardsmen per liter and guardsmen per dollar figures at the end.
It's not guardsmen, but he did a video on that: ua-cam.com/video/5X4knxdSqrI/v-deo.html
Glad i found this video honestly. I jumped into the hobby bout a month ago wasting nearly $800 on basic starter supplies and just two mini boxes. I wasted money, but lesson's been learned. Bout to invest and save.
Check out Red Makers for Krieg style models as well. What I really love about them is they have Chaos corrupted versions of Krieg as well and the Chaos Commisar is a free download model and is fantastic looking! I just assembled and primed him, I am hoping they put on a sale because I really want to snag all their chaos Krieg models.
Yeah their renegade line is amazing the heavy gunner with the torso holding the gun up? Grim and dark lol
Great video! Just came across your channel and I'm wanting to dive into 3d printing myself, specifically for the wargaming hobby.
Assuming one buys the items you outlined in the video, what are the ventilation needs? Assuming I can't do the printing and curing in a closed off room/closet?
They look fantastic. Great find.
BTW the S in Korps is silent, it’s like Corps in army, the PS are actually silent, so it’s “Death Kor of Krieg”
Hey! Love your videos :) The big thing putting me off of getting into 3D printing is the layer lines. Do they not bother you at all? They drive me crazy! I assume you print at 0.05mm, do you ever think about lowering the layer height? Would that even help to get rid of the lines? Great video anyway :D
Thanks! Nope not at all I'm happy enough with the balance of speed vs quality on 0.05mm
@@battlebrothersamI see! You'd rather have them print in half the time at the cost of being able to see small lines? That makes sense when your printing a whole army I suppose :D Do you happen to know what layer height you'd have to print at to not see lines when painting with washes and contrast paints?
This is an amazing saving. I’m so glad I’m getting into 3D printing
Great stuff yet again bud :-) just watched it there on my lunch break :-P The best part and worst part about the mini hobby is wanting to try and make so many armies but the best part about printing is, it is something we can do without killing ourselves ha the only other problem is time and storage ha Makers Cult and Red Makers are the way to go for these bad boys :-) also the hoodie is keeping me warm at night in work wuw!!
Thanks brother! Glad the hoodie is keeping you warm 😁😁 storage is my big issue lol might end up having to give models away
@@battlebrothersam damn right hoodie and little heater on at night I am golden ga oh yeah I am not surprised at all the amount you have printed off is mad 🤣 but your painting skins have gotten 20 times better it's great to see.
I'm not even into 40k like this, like I'm into it but I don't really play it mostly because of cost... but and I know this is a year old now.. this is crazy I'm now getting into 3D printing because I have the space and the money and seeing the massive cost difference in printing vs buying I'm so happy I'm getting into this and! it might get me into 40k. Cool video btw I watched the entire thing with jaw dropped on pricing.
We need a update on expanding this to 2k point army love your videos
TheMakersCult Trench-friendlies (Kriegers) are my go to.
I was the guy who spent a fortune on the Krieg originally, But due to circumstances I could never finish my megabux army.
Coming back to it now in the days of 3D output is an absolute gamechanger.
In the last 2 months after I bought my Sat 2 (8k) I've printed the equivalent of nearly $2500, and that's AFTER I took off the price of the printer, resin, and files.
So where exactly do you find these stls? I'm new to both warhammer and 3d printing and don't know where to find good STL's for printing either miniatures OR battlefield debris.
Where can I get the backpacks @battlebrothersam?!?! your prints look amazinggg. building my army as we speak :)
Can you give some insight into your ventilation and safety setup for resin prints? Also can you give me some idea on how much manual labour hours these models required? I'm interested in resin printing but I'm worried about the safety and additional work.
2K printer? You can get an 8K these days for half the price of that order. Saturn 8K is $490 and Saturn 2 8K is $550.
You could buy the Saturn 2 8K, a wash & cure station, all the supplies you need, gallons of resin, and all the files you need, and still have hundreds less than what GW & FW would charge.
Your 100% right brother Richard! Always great to see you in the comments
Glad to know that getting into makeing 3D models for a job won't just make me money, but save it as well!
Win win Brother
Class I'll need to do this to fix up all my old broken kre8g
My Valour Korps of Krieg has cost me about 500 dollars in resin, files and supplies. If I had bought it from ForgeWorld it would have cost me over 3000 dollars. And that is an army of around 8000 pts :D
How... How..many troops are in 8000 points?????
@@battlebrothersam 12 infantry squads, 3 veteran squads, 6x3 heavy weapon team, 4 engineer teams, 4x5 death riders, 9 bullgryns, 9 sentinels, handfuls of characters (commanders, officers, command) and alot of artillery, battle and support tanks :)
Hi from Sydney
G'day :D your up late lol
Good morning from Melbourne 👍
just want you to know you got me back interested in wh40k had to get rid of my stuff when I moved into a campervan for a wile and never felt could afford to get into it again with the high cost
now playing about with 3d modelling and ordered a 3d resin printer
Glad to hear it brother
I think that you are making a great point about certain companies overpricing their products because honestly they thought they had a market and will learn that they are not the only thing in the game.
BUT you dont seem to be taking many things into consideration here about 3d printing.
1. 3d printing IS NOT plug and play. While its getting easier and easier these days and so many great groups out there to help. There is still a learning curve.
2. There is more copst to resin printing then Resin and Printer. You need proper cleaning supplies, safety supplies (no not just gloves) and to know your local laws about disposal. You have to buy the model. You have to spend time learning and printing and testing and calibrating.
I see so many of these youtubers talking about how you can save money to print their warhammer armies by buying printers.....but not talking about all that comes with printing.
Please also let your reviewer know that you are not a printing expert and your "This is all you will need" section is VERY minimally correct.
Hell even share some local etsy shops of great businesses printing for profit but lower prices then big names.
Can you tell more about how you print, and conditions when you print, whole process,ventilation, protection and stuff like this?
so many reasons why this is a great army to print besides the cost
can u make a list like top 5to 10 armies and worst 5- 10 armies to print with reasons too this clip was a eye opener for how good printed armies can be now days
one quick question as i am starting 3d printer and going to be getting the files of them form online. does the files come with the bases? or just the models? and what/where can i find them?
Hands down the best Proxies for Death Korps on MMF is Station Forge! The quality and support is unmatched!
Do you mean the actual supports? I've heard mixed reviews about them on their admech range
I enjoy seeing how much you can get out of a bottle of resin videos. 3D printing is something I’m new to, but these videos help for tons of reasons. As you stated, prices of things go up while pay stays the same..so why not save a few pennies. Also, I’ve found 3D printing a great way to gift people items or even have different armies to play with that someone may resonate with. All around great videos and can’t wait for more :)
Thanks brother! Yes I use it for Xmas time and birthdays it really comes in handy, although now I want a fdm printer to make other gifts, and titans... And tanks... And terrain.
It never ends lol
That's exactly what I'm doing, I'm planning on rescaling, re supporting and printing a few kill teams that mesh with the various interests of my friend group using various models including some of other models made by the Valour korps creators. I also plan to make them custom armies too using OPRs army builder and points calculator so I can make up 4 kill teams ranging from modern military, cyber punk gang, medieval noble army and Left4Dead zombies all at 15mm scale.
GW would be really smart if they read where things are going & instead started selling official model packs that were printable
Hell, include a download link when you buy the $60 box so you get your plastic & reprintables.
3d printing is like the internet, you can't put a cap back on once it's spilling out. Might as well make some money
I've been building a Harakoni Warhawks army for a while, I've used parts from Anvil Industries, Zing, Elysian backpacks (which eBay assures me are not recasting, honest guv) and had heads printed by Shapeways, all in I figure each squads cost £50ish maybe a bit more so around a DKoK squad cost with parts sourced from on average 3-4 different companies per squad to achieve a specific look, but unlike forgeworld I have a decent surplus of extra pouches, weapons and attachments, models with flex8ble posing options, enough extra torsos, arms and heads I can make the odd character model with minimum extra outlay plus I've had none of the quality issues which has dogged every forgeworld kit I've ever bought.
I say this to ethersise just how much Forgeworld marks up prices, I am getting parts in from everywhere and it's averaging the same price as a single company produced squad with less items and generally poorer production quality (in terms of mould lines and air bubbles) (and if I'd skipped the jump packs on each squad they'd be £10 cheaper than Forgeworld)
just got a 3d so this video could not have arrived at a better time, really lovely work. Any chance you could tell me what backpacks the guardsmen were using? I may have missed it but they dont seem to come with the stl files and they really add a lot to the model.
They are in their discord if your a patron to them.
@@battlebrothersam ahh, thank you very much :)
Hey make a video showing your setup for your printer i never tought put it on a inside of a cabinet, is this safe also for the fumes, ty great videos, keep it up!!
Elegoo mars 2 pro is on sale for black friday for 137€ right now just saying, if anywone is in the market for one. Im really happy with mine! 2 days free delivery on top of that!
Wow that's cheap maybe I should buy another one lol
If you listen closely during Sam's videos, you can hear GW bigshots cry.
😂😂😂 I can hear them now brother
the candle ❤
nice to see the korps all painted
Ambience 😂😂😂😂 God I wish I had them all painted but they are at least 80% there
I started kitbashing my own DKK force at the start of this year after getting just stupidly fed up with GW's insane pricing. I love the theme of the army but the company's greed just angers me. I don't have the space for a 3d printer, but am absolutely planning one down the road. When you find you can kitbash DKK squads of 10 for a 3rd of the price that GW charge FAR too much.
3d printing is the way forward, I'm lucky to have a friend with one who's printed me off some fantastic stuff from the Valour Korps for my troops, so far mostly officers and more centerpiece minis.
There's some fantastic ranges of DKK alternatives, from Stationforge to Redmakers and of course the Valour Korps from Maker's Cult. They're brilliantly designed with some excellent flavour to them, and I can't wait to see what we get in the future from other makers, and what excellent little touches they add to their own. A small thing but I love how the Valour Korps heavy weapons like the Heavy stubber have the round dinner-plate style drum magazines that are reminiscent of the Lewis Gun.
Thank you for an excellent vid, having a proper price breakdown like this really helps to show how much more viable this hobby is when you go down this route!
Where do the backpacks on the infantry come from? I dont see them in the infantry builder buy option?
Another great example of the benefits of 3d printing - I love those Krieg proxies.
They are the best ones I've found
So I've done math on some stuff like this and so far I've printed a box and half of combat patrol for only 30 resin bottle 1000ml with that being said I also pay 10 a month for a subscription as well for my army but I can't wait till I get bigger printer so I can print this warlord titan i have
Ah another person printing the warlord! I'm going to support my pieces soon and get stuck into it
@@battlebrothersam haha see I'm using a elegoo Mars 2 pro and most pices are just a tade to big but I've done practice set ups and ya it's gonna be a project for sure but I'm ready for beginning of next year to print him
Mate as an Aussie, putting it AUD is real. And it hurts. so glad I've found you and others who embrace 3D printing so we can access games and enjoy expanding. Keep it up!
Preach it brother. 3d printing is fantastic and fun.
You should do a video on the grim dark future ruleset, just bake up a 3D printed version of their QuickStart setup (basically ultramarines vs orcs and a bit of terrain). Then compare that to the command edition
Great idea brother!
I thought the starter sets where Ultramarines Vs Necrons? Unless I missed something...
@@helixmusic4279 the one for the grimdark future rule set is orcs and marines. It is a simplified war game that plays more like older versions of 40k before rules bloat. I definitely recommend checking it out
@@Nolsie huh, guess I'll check it out 👍
check your local libraries, they may have 3d printing stations that you can use for free or small fees.
Most important thing to mention in favour of 3D printing imho is that what you are paying for are DIGITAL FILES that you could then print over and over and over... So basically when you pay for some .STL specially if they are for just regular troops of which you are going to need a lot of (like if you want to play any flavor of the Imperial Guard, Tyranids, Orks...) they just pay themselves after the first unit.
And usually those proxies are not only better than Games Workshop's, but also come with lots of different options and bits to make them even more unique.
PD: If someone is looking for some cool proxies for Catachan Guardsmen, take a look at the "Space 'Nam" line from Reptilian Overlords 😉 And as other have already mentioned in the comments, Station Forge has some of the best proxies I have ever seen. I'm in love with all the awesome models they are releasing for Kill Team 😍😍
Got 60 kriegers, 3 platoon command squads, like 10 of each special weapon, heavy weapons teams, trench themed bases, gaunts ghosts proxies, a lord solar proxy, heavy mortar I'm using as an ordinance team, scout sentinels, a few different tanks, and character models all for free on Cults. The price of resin used printing might've been like $60. Sometimes go a month or two without printing anything. Haven't had it a full year yet and my Mars3 has paid for it self four times over. 3d printing is the future and if GW would sell files or half the price of the current kits maybe they could compete with it.
Brother loving the krieg models. Great vid but talking sense to a GW simp is harder then leveling the bed on a fdm printer for the first time.
Also the 3 models spinning at 4.30. did you paint them if so dam you have leveled up they look great
Brother Chris thanks for your kind words 🙏😁
The backpacks on the Krieg infantry doesn’t come with the infantry builder file. Can I ask where you got it from?
Your right they aren't I forgot about that! I believe they are a separate file
As an outsider to 40k this seems hefty. But since i am a Carpenter and see all this DIY stuff out there with people saying: "duh just make it yourself, its way cheaper for that you just buy matierials!" First of all: thats very wrong more often than not , since shops get discounts since they buy from the source directly. And secound: you are mostly paying for hte expertise and the Time put into the projects.
For what i saw just now: It looks like the Models you buy are already finished and painted pieces (might be wrong here, since i never bought Models). and given how intricate they are it makes sense to me that they are priced that way, since i imagine it would take a damn long time to do so.
Still, i would rather print and paint them myself, but not to nessesarly save money, but for the fun of doing so.
Nice VId tho. Gave me a good look into what i would need to start and that its way less expensiv than i thought :D
Thanks bud, I boguht a printer because of your videos. I got an Elegoo Mars 3 Pro. I am printing my first model which is a Titan, going to take a while to get all the parts printed. But pretty awesome that my first warhammer model is going to be a £500 Titan.
That's amazing to hear brother I hope to see it when it's done 😁😁
Where did u get the back packs please. cause then files dont come with backpacks I have all they. Stuff
If your a patreon to them you get access to the channel in their discord
What website did you find the files on and what printing software do you use
What website did you get these files from? I didn’t recognize the interface
Wife and I have been resin printing for a while now, so far my Chaos Imperial Knight is my favorite print. I've also never spent a dime on anything GW has made, because they are WAY to overpriced. Used to go to hobby shops all the time when I was younger. They just kepy gouging more and more.
Im kinda new to Resin printing and still in the market for one so i really like the one you suggested, What is the website for all those cool downloads for Krieg?

Nice vid, good to see a full army print. Personally, I think you are a little light on your budget as you skipped over wasted resin, failed prints, gloves, isopropyl, gas mask cartridges, etc. I think newbies should expect their overall prices to be a bit higher than what you are showing but that's just me (based on my experience currently printing a Horus Heresy army). Still, obviously, way cheaper in the long run. Thanks for making the content, look forward to see more full-army builds!
Thanks brother! Well the $300 budget accounts for that and I didn't have a single failed print with these models becuase the supports are next level but I know what you mean
Is there any chance you can show the website where you got the models from? Brand new newbie to 40K and looking for some help. I absolutely love the aesthetics and the lure behind this army and I want to print a set for myself!

i had someone tell me " I don't like 3d printed models because it has less detail" and i told him "! your model painting isn't good enough to worry about the detail, do you even two thin coats" and their work looks like they dipped the models into a paint bucket
This video made me go into this hobby
So I don't have a 3d printer, so I have to rely on services. And I was appalled when I saw the price... Not because it was expensive or anything, but it cost so ridiciously little... Can't wait for the results to arrive ^^. Thank you very much.
I’ll gladly pay for forge world recasts. The plastics I don’t mind buying from lfgs or buying used for forge world models
