My wife and I backed the Frontiers for the Pinup Corps. They were mostly on time for the promised releases. Then, every few months they kept ADDING TO THE PILE. A whole bunch more than they had promised. (When we backed it, the Queen Tiger was included.) Yes, our loyalty CAN be bought, thank you very much, Across the Realms.
For Mantic you could use Enforcer Pathfinders for Veterans and Snipers (and use the robot dogs as Heavy Weapon Teams), Enforcer operatives for Stormtrooperd and Peacemakers for Ogryn. You could also have the option of the Deadzone GCPS Recon Squad Starter to get a Monobike and 11 Rangers.which should manage your Regulars and the fifth bike (Though the GCPS Monobike is available as an STL as are the Riot trooper parts and the Rocketlauncher and the Mortar). You might also look at the Deadzone Mazon Labs Field Research Team Starter for different human infantry and leaders or the GCPS Heavy Ordnance Booster for heavy weapons and infantry. Mantics stls on their own site tend to be in very random bundles that support several of their settings though. The ones on MMF are IIRC from the most recent Deadzone Kickstarter and the Tersia Revolutionaries would do as Ogryn and the Hand of the Seven gets you a different posed Monobiker and one or two snipers.
You did the calculations for the Across the realms wrong. When you buy the $75 "All in" for the Pinup Corp Campaign you get everything listed which if you look under it is says "Includes 30 products" The Recruits (Jungle fighters) and Veterans (krieg) would be the only extra ones you would need to buy
While I love the wargame Atlantic, the only thing close to a complete infantry faction is the Grognards, they have a themed heavy weapons team, and calvary. Unfortunately they don’t have any battle machines or command squads.
Ok a full Across the Realms Guard army looks great on the table. Yours isn't necessarily 40k but I can tell you right now that it looks just about a 2000pt army. I have 1000pts of Guard from Across the Realms. Their minis are the best in my opinion and and I'm super happy that he is continuingly producing content. My goal is to print the entire Krieg Army set as a proxy before I buy it and compare them. I got into the hobby with 3d printing, did a bunch of gaming on Tabletop simulator, now I (UNFORTUNATELY) want to buy in officially to play tournaments (IK not everyone's cup of tea). But I will continue to rep and print out Across the Realms badass armies. I got my gf into them just from the Drukari line. And now I think I'll do some orks. Thank you for the inspiration, keep on hobbying!
only thing about 3d printing is the cost of entry and toxicity (cant throw anything down sink because very dangerous to enviroment and drinking water). i keep my printer outside of my house, thus because of climate can only use in spring and fall when it is between 20-25C, if someone is looking just for an army , as a 3dprinter i would say mantic or wargames atlantic with their "les grognarnds" range is the way to go
my only problem with these non-gw options is I think they genuinely look bad. It's all preference, but gw stuff just looks 10x better than anything mantic has to offer
As you say "it's all preference" because I think they look better than GW's over priced crap, and Wargame Atlantic do even better Guard models that work out at about £1 per model!
I wish you had included Stargrave and Wargames Atlantic plastics. Much cheaper than Mantic and in many ways better. Mantic is, in many ways, way too expensive for the quality of the minis you're getting. Some of their products are as expensive or more expensive than GW. Most of their stuff is worse quality than a lot of other stuff out there. For larger models, you can also get cheap 1/48 scale tanks or gunpla models for robots/ogres... Either way, this was a great, meticulous, comparison between the manufacturers.
Yeah those across the realms minis ain't it but interestingly enough, they have some interesting russian inspired apc and tank sculpts(Rounder turret shapes etc)
Gotta say I don't like your options for Across the Realm. The figures are over sexualised and detract from the fact that they are meant to be soldiers. If you look at women who are subject to intense physical exercise they don't run around with massive boobs and undersized shirts. Your jungle fighters are even worse. So I hope Across the Realm do regular fighting troops. Having said that I don't know why you would use GW figures if price is the primary care. The GW figures are the best looking but definitely the most pricey. And now that GW have disengaged themselves with their customer base, you don't need GW figures for 40k Tournaments anymore. You can just buy the rules and game with what you like.

Haha! Yes, I think all the extras Tsipsis provides is amazing. The dino riders are my favorite, even though they aren't great as units in OPR.
Good quality video, appreciate your content!
Very fun looking army! May get a Reflex RS this season, thanks for all the great hobby content. 🍻

Yes, that's a good idea to use other faction models to fill in the rest of the army list.

Thanks for the correction! So you can get everything for less than $100 ($50 with Black Friday sale)--that's a great deal.
Very cool alternatives, I'm getting Cannon Fodder from Wargame Atlantic for my custom Guard regiment '110th Penal Legion' AKA 'The Emperors Rejects'.
So nice…would be nice to have a painting tutorial….❤❤
Atlantic Wargames good alternative
I love their Rebel Yell Bikers! Station Forge also has good STLs if you want the classic look.

Wow, I'm impressed you played 40K in TTS! I never got used to the UI and kept flipping the table!

I saw Fauxhammer do a test with the GK2 internal heater out in the snow so that might be an option for printing during the winter.
The Queen Tiger looks awesome. Did you print the turret and hull with an SLA or FDM printer?
Everything is SLA.
Quite excellent
my only problem with these non-gw options is I think they genuinely look bad. It's all preference, but gw stuff just looks 10x better than anything mantic has to offer
When did you get your eyes checked last ? 'cause there's absolutely something with your eyes.. or maybe it's your brain
As you say "it's all preference" because I think they look better than GW's over priced crap, and Wargame Atlantic do even better Guard models that work out at about £1 per model!
@@Duppyman695 They give me very "we have warhammer at home" vibes.
@@ohsohologramic The GW ones give me very "we think your morons for paying that amount" vibes and the worst thing is they are right!
@Duppyman695 buying gw does not make you a moron. Judging people for enjoying their hobby in a way you don’t like does make you an asshole tho

2nd Ed Guard are the best.
Simple.
Storm... Troopers.
LOL.

Wait, I thought GW insisted on using GW miniatures for tournaments--is that no longer the case?
Calm down, bro, none of it is realistic. Not a lot of soldiers running around with rifles as thick as their legs in the real world either.
Womp womp white knight level post, incel much
Stfu dude god this is such a cuck comment. You've never had a missis anyway. Go finish in the towel.
OP hates beautiful women. Soy boy detected.
