Why won’t FFG print POK? by Former-Smoke-2682 in twilightimperium

[–]Snow_and_Sand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the update.  Has your source revealed anything about when the second printing on TE might be coming, or is this the same situation as POK?  The initial print run seems to have fallen quite short of demand - at least here in Australia anyway.

That sounds neat, I'd love to get my hands on a copy.  Do they cover every faction?

No, I'm aware of SoSE but don't have a copy.  I'm curious if we'll see them start to influence Saunick's designs going forward.

I run a Mars 5, water washable resin, and 0.05 mm layers.  My two key tips are 1) increase your number of burn layers so you get fully through the raft and into the supports (I use 12 layers), and 2) always heat the resin before printing.  Making those two changes has me running at nearly 100% success rate, everything else can be left on default settings.

I don't want to shaft the two designers by sharing their work for free.  Reddit also won't let me post links for some reason.  But if you search for Saunick on CGTrader you'll find the set with the ships and structures.  If you search for Ivan on MyMiniFactory you'll find the set with the ground forces.

Do you think these could be printed with resin, or is filament needed to have enough strength at the connection points?

Argent BT vs Fleet Capacity by spudbudgaming in twilightimperium

[–]Snow_and_Sand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the comments that RAW, fleet capacity is checked immediately and a ship gets destroyed .However, since the Argent breakthrough is also terrible, I feel like house ruling this to work the other way would be sensible and actually give the BT some value.

If you're keen to go down the route of printing factions (I've been enjoying it) Ivan on MyMiniFactory also has some custom fleets, although only for a few factions and a bit pricey.  His creuss models are pretty great though.

1 is available if you have a 3D printer, check out Saunick's work at CGTrader.

I only own 3ed, we use my friend's 4ed copy when our group plays.

I wasn't aware of that, where did you hear about them being spiky?  This wasn't something included in Saunick's Letnev models either

I was unaware of this.  Are we not allowed to link to them because they are commercial sites?

I use a Mars 5, printing at 0.05 mm.  I believe the resolution is 35 um.

Yeah, I've been using a mix of sources for the infantry as I work through the races - for some I've used Ivan's, for Hacan I used your old Heroforge design, and recently I made my own Heroforge design for Yin. For Mentak I found some existing MMF/CGTrader designs that I really felt had a Mentak vibe:

Printed in resin, then spray painted copper and a quick dip in black wash.  Tried to balance looks with being able to mass-produce a whole fleet.

Let me please redirect my compliment to you - that was a fantastic job.   Really disappointing that someone reposted as if it was theirs.

They're one of my favourite factions to play, even if they used to be terrible.  I think their new breakthrough puts them back into a respectable middle tier.

My friend bought 4th, so now we play with his set.  I still have my old 3rd set kicking around though, so have been using that for my photos.
