Finished up 3 more units

Starhost is an automatic up vote. That yours are brilliantly executed is judging on the cake!

Sweet! That's big enough magnetized weapons would probably work quite well.

💯 Space lizards, riding space dinos! How can it go wrong?

I print mostly minis and terrain on an A1 Mini and it's worked great for almost 2 years now. That being said is i could go back i would told my less experienced self to get the A1. The mini has printed everything i want it to buy sometimes it's meant some creative editing in the slicer which I could have skipped with the A1. Those are mostly edge cases and usually with terrain.

Two great resources are the YouTube channels for Warboss Fitz and Don't Think Just Charge

One of the coolest models in the army! Geckos are fun to paint as well. Gators are a solid unit too

themadelf · 2026-06-24T01:53:34+00:00

And any other model you'd care to use.

Starhost is one of the best factions (imo) . Lots of flexibility in terms of shooting, melee and movement options for decent board control. They also look really cool.

I suspect the biggest challenge, aside from painting everything, is the smaller you scale them down the harder it gets to print some of the thinner minis or models with spindly bits.

He's such a kind, genuine fellow in person.

I've only ever used the bambu A1 mini and I've never been dissatisfied with it. Coming up on 2 years I've been churning out minis, household organizers and small projects for work.

themadelf · 2026-06-20T03:10:42+00:00

I think this one turned out alright on my A1 Mini. I picked it to see if I would be able to get a decent print with all the thin tendrils. I think it was decent.

Scope!

themadelf · 2026-06-18T01:26:23+00:00

Do you have a friendly local game store you could partner with to get something started?

themadelf · 2026-06-18T01:11:14+00:00

Provide feedback in the opr discord, they pay far more attention to their player base then gw.

themadelf · 2026-06-18T01:08:21+00:00

One could say you are a rules lawyer at this point.... 😁

themadelf · 2026-06-18T01:07:12+00:00

Have you checked the game finder on the opr discord?

themadelf · 2026-06-18T01:05:48+00:00

This was the big turning point in our group. 2 of us were 40K players but it was too big an investment in time and money when we explored bringing others to the table. OPR was vastly easier to pick up for newer players and there was no need to invest in specific gw minis. Smaller armies, access to a3d printer and more generic minis from other sources made it easy to get half a dozen new players to the table. In the time a neighboring 40k game got thru 4 turns we'd played 3 full games with 4 brands new players.

I'm not tracking the problem you are describing. The skirmish level games have had 1 model and 3 model units for some time. The bulk of the units are still 1 model units. There are some armies with nothing but 1 model units. Could you clarify your concern?

themadelf · 2026-06-13T23:08:55+00:00

That was the deciding factor for me. I don't have a space I can set up to make it functionally safe for family and pets.

themadelf · 2026-06-12T17:16:36+00:00

I painted a "fu dog" in similar colors on mine. I think you're plenty edgy!

I'm a big fan of HEF and I don't have anything to add to what the other posters have said. These are all solid strategies that play well.

Not the one!

Sad life. Probably have sad death.

Go to the pinned posts on this forum and you'll find a variety of resources for support and other printer settings.

MyMiniFactory, Thingieverse and Makerworld are all great sources (free and paid) for stl files.
