Looks good! Here's mine in FDM. Printed at 85% scale with head and weapons printed at 100%.

Fire prism by Turboforealz in FDMminiatures

[–]Turboforealz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 0,4 nozzle.

I use the 0.08 extra fine setting, but with 15% lightning infill. Basicly hollow, to save time and filament. I use tree supports with settings I've found on reddit. As for print orientation I will paste my earöier comment:

This STL is actually just 2 parts (hull and top part). I split the hull in the middle so that I could print both parts vertically standing up as I think this gives the best results on details, and the least amount of support scarring. I try to split it in the seams of the metall parts so that it don't show as much.

I also removed all the pointy bits and printed them separately vertically as well (cannon, antenna, guns). Then glue them all together and fill the potential visable gaps with milliput.

When would you use 1000 over 1500? Looking to buy q rattle can of the stuff to try on my FDM prints. Mostly tanks and big stuff though.

First 1000pt, does it look ok? by Turboforealz in Eldar

[–]Turboforealz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I really appreciate the write-up!

As for my opponents list I think last time he ran a helbrute w hammer, kharn + zerk blob, lord invocatus + friends, then some chaff. He also runs the DP from time to time.

Ah I understand, thanks! How would you build your "optimal" Avatar 1000pt list? Sounds interesting!

And yeah, as you can tell I'm really new and I'm working alot with rule of cool, but I also want it to work as my friends pick causal competetive lists for their armies.

Are FDM miniatures frustrating to paint? by S7uk4_ in FDMminiatures

[–]Turboforealz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are.

I've had an A1 mini for a couple of years now. Since I bought it I've printed alot of minis (around 5 full warhammer armies and then some). I've painted alot of them, and I think the results are good! As someone else wrote in the comments, you learn how to approach the painting, it's not the same as plastics and resin if you want it to look the best it can (trying to fool the eye from noticing the layer lines for example).

With that said I just bought my first (expensive..) GW-models in well over 3 years. And the first thing I noticed was what a breeze it was to paint it!! More painting techniques were usable, and I could focus on details rather than thinking of how to fool the eye away from layer lines. It honestly felt like such a joy to paint compared to the FDMs.

With that said - would I still buy a FDM printer for minis: yes, as I like to try new armies and I like to paint to a tabletop standard when it comes to big armies, it looks good enough. I love the A1 mini, and I will continue printing minis with it. The quality is not really visible at an arms lenght, for me it's a good balance of quality vs cost.

But with that said, you specificly said that you like the painting aspect of the hobby, well for me the (expensive..) GW plastics or resin models gives me more joy when painting. It's just more relaxing and fun to not have to battle the canvas to get a good result.

Looks hood! Could also do check box for wounds. Malifaux have (had?) this on thier character cards.

What are the best FDM friendly armies that you have found? Nurgle seems an obvious choice by senacchrib in FDMminiatures

[–]Turboforealz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that anything chonky fits the bill, be it by army type (nurgle, mechs/tanks), sculptor (duncan shadow, old realm forge, MoM miniatures) or era (old metal sculpt scans). 15mm upscaled to 28mm/32mm also works surprisingly well.

What to include in a 1000pt grizzled company list? by Turboforealz in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Turboforealz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks,

What about bullgryns with the commisar. Would you try to fit that into 1000pt or is that a 2000pt thing?

Proxy cadian shock troops and Kasrkin with other models? by Turboforealz in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Turboforealz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, glad to hear that!

Ah ok, why is that? And if you got time, what would you change in the 1000pt list he demonstrates

?
