I wanted to share my new project. A fully* 3D printed chaos dwarf army. I have bought a earthquake cannon and an iron daemon. All other models will be printed from various sources.
I can’t even start imagining the print hours that have gone into this already. Great work.
Where are the files from? Tjub started a thread listing 3D printable files on a thread on the forum. If you’ve found goodies or places to buy goodies nobody else has - make sure you list them there.
Today I had a little spare time so I already did some bases for the wolf riders. The 5th I’ll be at a friends house doing some speed painting. Or normal painting since I wont be able to go much faster then this…
Allright, today was a very productive day. 11 goblin wolfriders done and ready for quickshade and varnish. That will be for another day since its tricky to transport wet models.
Allright. Soms sneak peeks after the quickshade. Now they will look a little different after its dry and matt varnish had been applied but changes will be minimal.
Welcome to the forums! These look great! Gotta say, I love the look of the material too
Looking forward to, seeing more painted - hopefully some of the Chaos Dwarfs too
Any plans to leave the material unpainted for sorcerous or flaming effects?
And are these UV resin printed, rather than layers?
They are indeed resin uv printed. On a anycubic photon. 0.025 mm layer height. The quality is really outstanding.
My friend said the replacement parts on the iron daemon look like warp stone …
I like the idea of leaving parts transparent… but that makes undercoating a bit more difficult. Well as I’m typing it I realize I need to just mask it. I will keep it under consideration.
Thanks for the idea!
I have currently painted all gobbos except for a Khan. Next on the table is said khan, 2 dwarfs and a bull centaur.
After those the dwarf units will get some TLC. I’m keeping the ones I look forward to the most for last, to keep my motivation going…
Thanks for the printing info - it’s not something I know a huge amount about atm.
And your friend is right - something to remember for if you start Skaven or Mordheim!
Completely correct - masking tape (just take it off straight after spraying) and/or adhesive putty (blu-tac or similar) are perfect for it. You can still do a little edge highlighting or use some shades or both to make them pop a little, but will hopefully give some cool effects. Maybe remove them, then paint, then reattach so there’s no green tunnel entering hands or whatever though got options! And very welcome for the idea.
Really smashing through the army at that rate! And looking forward to watching it continue to grow.
Always a good idea to have stuff to look forward to.
