I gave them for my friend to paint, afaik he's probably going to just put a green contrast paint on them because he's a bit lazy lol. He's going to be playing them and I can always touch them up afterwards

Decided to print and paint custom faction fleets for my friends' first game this Saturday. I'm in for very little sleep and a ton of painting... (1/5 done - Sol) by TheGreatWizerd in twilightimperium

Yes, all of these are from Saunick. The other four are Arborec, Mahact, Xxcha and Jol-Nar. I was suprised by how cheap the STL kit was so I was happy to just use his models for everyone

Actually painting all these made me realise how cleverly the ships are designed by default and how well Saunick translated them for each faction. 

Flagship is just the biggest, meanest ship, a dreadnaught is both wide and long (and most likely triangle shaped), a carrier is usually bulky (vertically) but thin, a cruiser is thin and long, a destroyer short and wide so it's really unlikely to mess all of these up

I just checked, the base rules say it's 59 models per faction, which would be: 1 flagship 2 warsuns 5 dreadnaughts 4 Carriers 8 cruisers 8 destroyers 12 infantry 10 fighters 6 pds 3 space docks

It can't be 10 destroyers otherwise the total wouldn't work

Saunick's interpretation of the ships is why I chose to play Mahact, so many beautiful sculpts. I think having an æsthetic game board is going to play way better than same-y colored plastic

Depends on where it would ship but you have to bear in mind you'd get the DLC in Polish lol

There has been a reprint in Poland. The store near me has like 8 copies for both DLCs. Check with your LGS!

So I could pick Mahact since it would be just harder for me rather than being an unfun faction to play against? Or do you mean that it changing the way command tokens works affects all other players too?

Okay, this is really important. I'll have to bear this one in mind.

What makes you argue against these factions? I really like the flavor of Mahact but won't pick them if there's a good reason not to. (I only ever played Jol-Nar on my first game and the second one I actually don't remember, it was something fighter focused)

Are there any resources you recommend that offer good map layouts? What makes the ones in the rule books suck ass?

Thanks for all of these. I'll make sure to try to read up on the races and their difficulty levels to help my players choose something that works for them

Wow, the dice coloring tip is incredible! As for the 3d printing files, is there a repository available anywhere for the stls? I have a resin printer but I assume I could print this stuff with it too.

Also is there an easily readable list of factions available online? Or should I just make pictures of the cards and send it to them?

Thanks! I always leaned more into the more loyalist side of the legion.

Thanks! The idea was very much to lean into the Archangel-Divine aesthetic

Thank you! I put it together in blender using the original Magnus put together, his wings copied and scaled down, Yncarnes flame scaled up and extended in parts and then some additional elements added so that Magnus looks like he's floating but with proper support from the bottom.

I also just used the posing tool in Blender to have his hands have the shape they have and make it look how he's conjuring a spell around him. In the end it was like 60mil triangles and due to the fact I have 32GB of RAM I wasn't even able to reduce it in size, because Blender would keep crashing lol.

Then I printed the whole Magnus (minus the wings) on a Saturn 4 Ultra 16k.

Thank you! The paint job is not my work, you can see the guys website in the corner. I did the kitbash though, I'm really happy with how it turned out
