I would also be interested to know where to get stuff printed out. I have been eyeing up some of this 6mm terrain: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/TheLazyForger/collection/battlefields-of-tomorrow (probably for 6mm Necromunda rather than epic, unless I can print it at 3mm scale).

6mm Necromunda you say...are you already a member of the INQ6 Discord server? Would be cool to see your stuff there too!

I've finished up some World Eater (crusade-era) Terminators - Cyclone Terminator (or Fulmentarus as they were known then?)
Lovely little miniatures from Vanguard - they probably could have done with wider spacing on larger bases, but guess they look like they are walking into position.

Those are looking real sharp. Nice work!

Cheers man! I just need to get the 'Decurion' units painted up for both these and the standard terminators, so that my units are inline for use with Imperium Dominatus ruleset (thankfully don't need to make too many changes for that)

Have finished off a unit of Destroyers (again this is for Imperium Dominatus format, so you have the 5 basic units of destroyers plus one Decurion unit)
Have gone for a mix of miniatures from Vanguard, both the 'tainted' range (which I thought would fit, even for Great Crusade era, considering what those guys are doing in the field) as well as standard Novan Elite guys.
Paint-wise, I have made them look as though they are just painted in that colour (no Legion colours for you!)

I have probably asked you think before but where do you get the Mark 2 armour from?

Thanks

All designs are from Thingiverse, actually. Some real talent there.

Do you have the Vehicles STLs with supports to share? My Trial and Errors are only Errors....

I'm afraid not... I didn't really think about saving them >_>

That said, most work well at about 45º upwards form either the back or the front and the supports on the underside.

Don't skimp on the supports, they won't show anyways (they will be in the bottom of the print, so...)

If you want, link a design you want to support and I'll see what I can do.

Which Printer do you use? When you use a Anycubic, you could make the .photon data available.

Daimos Rhino with Bolter Turrets

Daimos Predator with Autocanon/Heavy Bolter
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4397478

Daimos Vindicator
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4420919

Spartan
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4397490

Land Raider Phobos
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4406217

Would be nice, if you could make them freely available for others.

nice Regards!

Not much of an update, but I've finished some 'Decurion' (command) stands for both a regular Terminator Detachment and the Cyclone-missile dudes. This is to bring them in line with the Imperius Dominatus ruleset and unit cards

I'm currently using an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, but the chitubox project file should work either way:

This is just a quick example of what I meant and a "quite overkill" amount of supports. The Rhino is also hollowed and drilled out to save resin, but it's not really needed.

This example is just angled 45º, but that might lead to some banding. You can avoid it somewhat angling it differently, but you'll need to get fancier with the supports. For example:

https://mega.nz/file/8FQUTRDC#leUSPnqIJOV6fyucFLfPNYJ2IKQCVyjjSrUalCcFx_M

3mm Imperial Fists (using the Lamenter's Yellow glaze, which is now oop so did the vehicles in a deserty colour).




3mm Knights (these are 6mm Vanguard gladiators). There are four house 'empire' (same paint scheme as my WFB empire army), one house Malinax and four house Paladin.

Well, you can print it, most certainly, that's just moving the scale slider.
But, depending on the actual sculpts, the details might get too slight to be noticeable or to print right, so you need to be aware of that.

I might try it at 75% or 66%, might even look acceptable for both 3mm and 6mm!

Very, very nice job on the 3mm scale Imperial Fist infantry there Samsonov ! Look very cool

My very first Thunderhawk Gunship

Looks good! i have 2 of the old aeronautica ones and one of the vanguard versions.


Much cheaper in 6mm, where i can actually afford to buy 3 of them

Wowser Albertorius - looks really good

Is that a 3D print or the Vanguard model?

Someone on the 'Bay was selling an Epic Stormeagle but annoyingly it wasn't on sale for long and I missed it :(

Thanks! It is a 3d print, actually, about 9 hours all told.

I do have lined up Storm Eagles, Fire Raptors and Stormbirds lined up for the future:

The vanguard versions of storm eagles, storm ravens and thunderhawks all have their own stylized "look" to them. you know what they are but the look is slightly different. you can see them in my previous army post.

For reference:



They are absolutely stellar models

And don't forget to mention the Spiculum fighters: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-spiculum-heavy-fighter/

Painting train rolls on, today I started on the Epic Mechanicum with some Thanatars. Bases are 20 mm, for reference.








I now have huge robots, big robots and small robots in this scheme, soon also even smaller robots and infantry

Wondering about the bases, though. Should they get a bit of shrub like most others, be more rad-blasted or perhaps burned by the plasma mortars

So cool!

Very nice Sherrypie! Like the colours and the detail work with the shoulder rims, looks very cool.

Cheers fellas!

These chonkers at least were large enough that the rim was properly tangible, I'm already dreading the Castellaxii with their barely existant detailing

Two Predator squadrons added to my loyalists

Funny thing is a buddy of mine has the las pred for his 30K army in full scale before he realized he could not use a pred with a twin linked las turrets because the space wolves hadn't invented it yet during the heresy.

XDDD very true ^^. Mine are retrofitted field variants that happen to use them

Loving those Thanatars, they are imposing. As for twin-linked Lascannons, could loyalist Iron Warriors commit tech heresy (against the mechanicum) and still be loyalist (to the Imperium)?

It really was an enlightened age. All the "heresy" stuff came later

It took what 300 years of debate for the tech priests of mars to give their blessings to the land raider crusader design?

Not that the black templar cared much, they just kept using it because it was effective.

Cheers, Samsonov.

Some even smaller bots today. The Thallaxii are starting to push the limits of where I could be arsed to paint armour trims
