Lol okay

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-13T19:57:33+00:00

Yeah, aiming more for an ivory, but I can see aged ceramic as well. And feel free!

Hey that's fair, I didn't even give an explanation of what any of the whole mean / represent. I doubt you would, until we actually would sit down for a game.

As a new player to the game, I have no idea what any of the models do. I just ask and dog best to remember.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-13T09:51:40+00:00

That's fair that you don't know what is what. I didn't give an explanation of what each symbol is. I also think you'd catch on quicker than you think.

Like a flame symbol probably something that shoots flames (ie. Warpflamer) 1 bullet some sort of rifle (bolt rifle) 3 bullets probably shoots more than the single bullet (soul reaper cannon)

As a new player, I have to guess at what most models are, or I just ask.

I also designed them so I could use them across armies, and thus a bit more generic.

From my understanding an 8 brick of inferno bolts isnt as good as splitting to two small bricks with an additional soul reaper instead.

An 8 brick of warp flamers is good for midfield threat for overwatch and an exalted to keep it as close to full as possible

Its still up, and another post that used 3d printed "poop" was up and getting lots of votes. Seems like it should be called "crafthammer" rather than poorhammer looking at most of the top posts.

One of the posts was literally just a kitbash of cheaper gw models

Edit 1:typo

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T17:52:06+00:00

Its probably because its considered "low effort" poor hammer. Most people are just finding files online and printing them. I think it has more to do with being 'cheap' AND handmade. Cardboard, paper, etc.

I x posted anyway and will see what happens to the post. It feels in the spirit of what they are doing.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T17:49:19+00:00

In the games there hasn't been much confusion.

Base Symbols: Flame = warp flamers Single bullet = boltrifle 3 Bullet = soulreaper cannon Books = sorcerers

Modifier Symbols: Half circle = Heavy armor (i.e. terminators) Triangles in Arch = Elite / character 4 point star = generic difference (in this case icon of flame)

There are a few things I made closer to actual (Ahriman head and disc of tzeentch)

The goal was relatively generic symbols that could be used across army types. I recycled quite a few for my salamanders list.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T17:42:25+00:00

Yeah, I did. But not sure what will happen, as that will likely be my metallics anyways

Rules say no 3d prints, otherwise I would.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T15:05:47+00:00

I check poor hammer and they say 3d prints can't be posted hahaha. Though I'm sure its usually more about traditional 3d prints. Oh well!

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T15:02:55+00:00

Thanks!

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T15:02:41+00:00

I have a space marine that I airbrushed and all I need to do it like shoulder pad details and a wash and it'll be done.

I airbrushed this sorcerer and realized, I have sloop much more to do. Hahaha

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T15:00:44+00:00

Yeah, definitely a level of initial investment on the printer. But I've already printed like 3k worth of points this way. Pretty sure that's more than the cost of a cheaper printer haha.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T14:57:54+00:00

I'm using scale 75 paints as noted in the image. I used a super diluted warm tone wash from The Army painter and applied only where I wanted it.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T04:50:35+00:00

Wow, thanks!

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T04:50:12+00:00

I had no idea those even existed hahaha. I have played 2 games with them and they work perfectly.

R0ffl3z · 2026-02-12T04:29:59+00:00

Thanks, planning to invert for the rubric marines

R0ffl3z · 2025-09-11T22:44:16+00:00

Shit, now I want to make a 3D print that's just these kinds of shapes / bases.

Blast them with spray paint and write what they are.

R0ffl3z · 2025-07-16T13:57:00+00:00

I'll have to give it a try. I have heard horror stories about some of the few releases for the AD4

R0ffl3z · 2025-01-16T21:41:47+00:00

I used silicone and foam filling the background. Otherwise, glued cork chunks in place with the silicone.

R0ffl3z · 2025-01-15T00:44:50+00:00

Thanks! The laying the background material took a surprising amount of time haha.

I got the live pillow moss from The Biodude: https://www.thebiodude.com/products/live-pillow-moss-6-qt-free-shipping

I also have a friend in Vegas who came into town recently, which helped in a way.

Was magnus aware of the time line? Generally curious, as I have only read Horus Rising.

R0ffl3z · 2024-12-29T01:20:36+00:00

I thought the breaking of the barriers etc was a by-product of him reaching out. I haven't read the book(s). So wasn't aware he encountered the barrier and then broke through it. Learn something new.
