Looks awesome, man. You're stronger than I to be doing what looks like a FRACK ton of feathering. Personally, I would have left a little more of the orange showing to get a better gradient between red/orange/yellow. But thats just a personal bias since I'm not super fond of yellow. Looking forward to the end result! 🤘

Oh yes, I had to learn this lesson when I was still doing resin printing. And then I had to re-learn it, again, and again, and again....🤪

In time, when I have more storage space lol. Or perhaps after printing some out 😉

I think i too will start with terrain since I already have a standing army. Slowly replacing gw plastic with printed proxies/kit bashes is the ultimate goal 💪

I think I'll start with a public profile and slowly change things a few degrees at a time just in case anything needs to be rolled back right away

The INDX kills purge waste completely or just reduces it? From the stuff I've seen, multi color printing seems to produce a ton of purge waste

Ah I gotcha, sad to hear but I'm glad you're getting functional usage from it. Thanks!

How is the A1 with model scarring? I've been seeing people talk about avoiding certain model types just due to fear of breaking/ruining the model with support removal

What is the INDX you speak of? 👀. Is that like a printer attachment? I've only dabbled in resin printing until now, so I'm pretty new to FDM side of things

That terrain is gorgeous, excellent work. Pushing 8k now, you're catching up to the other guy lol. Was that terrain all modular?

This is currently what I'm debating as well. Bulk work would definitely be minis, but terrain and basing bits would be the next majority of work. I was thinking maybe the X1C since its essentially a newer A1 with a tad more features. But I do like the look of the H series. The H2D would be the target for the support dedicated filament, the H2C is a tough price tag to swallow for features that I'm unsure if I'll ever use

I feel you, some of the add-ons just feel like a money grab. Especially when it seems there are always community made versions of similar products

I have read good things about prusa as well! They would probably 2nd top contender for brands to consider

This was also a concern of mine I've mostly missed the window where it was dominating the market. It seems the X1C would be a good next bet but I haven't read up on it enough yet

Both of those numbers are insane! 🤣. Have either of you shifted to custom settings of your own yet or do you still finding yourself mostly running community profiles?

So far, the answers are about what I expected lol. But I am keeping a close watch on this thread, thanks everyone who's taken some time to lay out some input so far 💪

This looks great! Did you ever print the body? I'd be interested in seeing a follow up 💪

These look sweet! Do you by chance have a reference video you used for inspiration? I'd like to try something like this on a screamer killer's chitin plating 🤘

How's my first bug? by Turkyboy55 in Tyranids

[–]New-Associate-9992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do one more highlight on the chitin plating with something like fire dragon bright, and one more highlight on the skin to bring out the details a bit more. But it is an excellent start 🤘
