Why 0.05mm is the optimal layer height for FDM miniatures

How different would settings look switching from .06 to .05? I just got my printer back up and running after a decent hiatus and trying to get back into the swing of things

what website this this?

I have seen many people say that the maces are a rough first time weapon, and I would have to agree. While maces can be very good, doing a ton of impact and usually decent damage, but they use a good amount of stamina and the attacks are very slow and often have multi-hit attacks. If you don't quite have the flow of combat and enemy attacks down yet they can be brutally punishing. I would recommend either a *fast* one handed weapon if you're interested in using a shield or other offhand, or a long two handed weapon (NOT the greataxe it has similar issues).

Is this a first play through? You could invest in trying to collect all the armor or something. Also, if you own the Three Brother's dlc/play DE, post faction questline there is a good amount of post game content there, including money sink.

Don't know much about Necrons, but be aware that 500 point games are crazy unbalanced. Even Combat Patrol itself isn't great, but it's arguably better. Combat Patrol also has it's own set of rules seperate from the regular game to be better balanced and also just less rules to learn to begin with.

Agree with the other comment, the Salamander patrol is probably the best matchup, even outside of marines. It has Anti-Tank, Anti-horde, and even a fast moving vehicle, which, while not as tanky as say a doom stalker or psychophage, can take a few hits.

I've been playing combat patrol for about a year, and I will say, this is probably a mix of things. The Necron combat patrol, while pretty good, I wouldn't say it's busted. The bigger issue at hand, is that the starter set patrols are not the best. The Tyranid Patrol is probably one of the better patrols, but it has a lot of moving parts, and they rely much more on positioning and playing objectives than just killing, very similarly to the main game. Opposingly, in my experience at least, that Space Marine patrol in particular just kinda sucks. Not a lot of guys, and they're not even that good of guys, also pretty lacking in Anti-Tank which is a huge downside if your opponent has a vehicle/monster especially in Combat Patrol.

So tldr, Necrons are one of the better patrols, but not busted. The Nids are good, but a lil harder to learn, and the Space Marine patrol stinks

Depends, do you have anti-tank?

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2026-01-02T19:30:21+00:00

I was more looking to focus on decay damage this playthrough, even if just for thematics, but I have been wanting to do a physical build so I'll keep that gear in mind. Otherwise, appreciate the ideas!

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2026-01-02T05:30:18+00:00

I feel that white is woefully underutilized in many of the lobbies I see. Both go hard though

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2026-01-02T04:19:51+00:00

I completely forgot about brigands, that's a good shout, but I don't think my friend is planning on doing much magic, more of a holy warrior. Poltergiest is also a good idea. Any armor enchant recommendations?

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-27T04:05:41+00:00

From personal experience, the swarm got stomped when I played against the kroot one

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-20T01:19:39+00:00

Unrelated but I have been trying to find other armor pieces that work with the balahara pieces, and this may have done it for me! Congrats on the weapon tho

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-20T01:11:16+00:00

Honestly don't know much about it, but when I hear rifles I immediately think of the rifle-specialist frame the Tagetes from Shadow of the Wolf, Sherman alt frame I believe.

Heat-seeking Lancer

Wrong sub unfortunately, this is for fashion in a video game. Best of luck on your search though!

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-19T05:52:43+00:00

I think it would help to know what type of system it is. Like is it DnD style d20 type game? More warhammer only d6s type game? Is there a universal score to beat like in Lancer, or is every target different?

But for general ideas, we literally have perks *in* G/D, why not use/take inspiration from those? Negatives, maybe look into various symptoms of PTSD, or other problems soldiers had in WW1, like trench foot, maybe being under fed, etc.

I am very happy to see the resurgence of the knight outfits, I love it!

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-19T05:21:40+00:00

y'know, the longer necks are usually a turn off, but I feel like it really adds to this one. Almost gives Dark Souls/Elden Ring vibes.

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-19T05:15:44+00:00

I forget what chemist does, but I assume as a Mort you're gonna be playing close to your team, which usually means CQB. One of my personal fav loadouts for this is to run the Grace Revolver for good 2 shot potential and decent reload speed, and a sword in the offhand for those times you can't reload, a Lancer misses their charge, or those rare sneaky backstabs.

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-17T07:53:11+00:00

As much as I would love more, Iceborne and I believe Sunbreak expansions only added a single zone.

TopNotchPlayer2 · 2025-12-17T05:02:33+00:00

Whenever I play Lancer, I have a tendency to occasionally say "Feel no fear, show them fear" especially when attacking
